nkl With the adventures of a fam-
ily of cats Louis Wain started the
first strip cartoon.
He earned thousands of dollars
a week for each new cat adventure.
Yet. 25 years have passed since
Wain disappeared abruptly from
public life.
Many of his admirers imagined
him dead. Louis "Wain drawings
were still offered to editors but
were no longer so freely
for, instead of being playfully .im-
pudent, some of the new cats were
devilish and horrifying. Gradually
even these offerings ceased and
soon nearly all Louts Wain s new
drawings were seized by a doctor
and destroyed.
Until his tragic death in the war
years, Wain was confined in a men-
ial home and in his lucid mordents
he said the cats had accursed h,m.
The ancient Egyptians revered
cats as supernatural beings.
“Piggy.Back” Rocket
Developed by U.S. Navy
WASHINGTON.-The navy has
developed a large piggy-back rocket
for launching guided missiles at
speeds faster than sound.
The navy said the rocket, believed
to be the' largest of its type ever
built, solved the problem of how to
got guided missiles up to the h\J
speeds at which they operate most
efficiently.
The navy's only reference to the
rocket’s tremendous speed was a
terse statement that it is ‘ high in
the supersonic range.” Sound travels
at about 750 miles an hour at sea
level.
The rocket was designed for the
navy’s “Bumblebee” missiles pro-
gram, which involves the develop-
ment of missiles for firing from the
ground and from airciuft.
The rocket. wbb-li already has
been flown successfully at the naval
ordnance test center at Inyohern.
Cal is destined to edrry fasle'- nan

-ed by ramjet engines, on its nn-k
' take-off the rocket provides
all the power. exerting a
. . ’c a.’j'.y n cw.s.-” of the
75*00U-pound thrust developed by tin
Nazi V-2 rocket.
As speed builds up into the surer-
sonic range, the ramjet cuts in. The
rocket ftna'ly falls away to earth and
the ramjet continues to its target.
