VICE PRESIDENT MARSHALL sper

VICE PRESIDENT MARSHALL spent
II recent vacation at the home of MS
father-in-law. near Phoenix. Ariz. He
came back TO Washington full of stories
of the wealth OF the region. but told
friends that the natives of that part
had TO take very good care of their cit
rus fruit trees in cold weather
Why, my father-in-law wraps his
trees up on cold nights, and tends them
ike delicate children" he said. He is
as solicitous for the welfare of those
trees as he was for his Old Jersey COW
back in Indiana.
when he was living in Indiana he
had a COW that was great family pet
and an important item of family prop
erty One summer the flies pestered the
critter abominably, and he decided to pro-
tsct her from attack by extreme meth
DDS. He went down town and bought an
old linen lap robe. such they use IN
Indiana to keep off the dust.
This he tied over the cows back and
secured firmly to her four legs Then
ne drew an old pair of overalls up over
ner front legs and tied them over her
back. lie got another pair of overalis
and succeeded i'll putting one of her
hind legs into them. But by that time
the COW had decided that safety lay in
flight and the way she cleared the fence
and lighted out for parts unknown is
still the topic of conversation in those
parts"

tof-you Will find that The superposed
sea has laid its hand upon the body
of the Titanic with weight of more
than l+,G00.Gt5 tons.
When afioat and fully laden the great
liner represented dead weight Of 5000
tons. If she be held III the grip of the
ocean bed, with the sea further aiding
that hold. then salVer would have to
exert lifting force OF more than al5
times her service tonnage III order to
free her from the bottom. In other
words Mr.. Smith would have to provide
salvage caissonS or ca,nels with an
amassed buoyancy equivalent to an as
sem1,ed fleet Of floating Titanics more
than 215 strong. From a financial ard
an engineering point o. view under
taking Of this sort would not be aiiuring.
But ii may be that the wreck of the
ship Is not in this unpromising pre-
dics.ment. How is the Denver inventor
to satisfy himself upon this point?
Mr.. Smith has planned as an auxiliary
a type of submarine boat which is to
be strong enough to Withstand the
deepest submergence required for the
searching of the Titanic wreck. In this
direction the inventor is practically
celebrating on the work of the noted
italian submarine engineer Signor Pine.
The latter designed a type of globular
submarine, which because of its par
ticular form and the nature OF it's fab
rication would stand up under the
crushing stresses of very deep sub
merSence. In fact, the boat--if such
it could strictly be called-was so ar
ranged that increasing pressure actual
ly served to make the craft more wa
tertight.
According to Mr.. Smiths plan, these
submarine auXiliaries Will be lowered

The question is SO far as the salver is

situation is entirely changed. There is
no reasonable hope of dislodging her from
