Vast Schemes for. Salving Lost Ships.

1t is suit of heavy armor, made, OF
manganese bronze and fitted with ball
bearing joints. II is not only strong
enough to withstand the terrific water
pressure OF 1000 feet. but it carries
a compressed air tank, built on the
back of the armor. which furnishes
the diver with air sufficient for four
hours. Consequently, it is not neceS
sary to pump air down to him. and
he works under ordinary atmospheric
pressure, he feels no i'll effects. no
matter al what depths he works.
Other methods of equally startling
novelty are to be used. Already. ex
perfmeuts have been made with huge
cylinders designed for raising sunken
ships in a tideless sea There being
sary to use buoyancy. Working on
this principle. the cylinders are used
where there is no tide and no current.
Divers descend beforehand, S usual.
to make careful examination OF the
hull. to find out to what extent it has
parts of the hull cannot stand the
pressure of applied buoyancy
Then the huge iron cylinders are
towed out from the nearest dockyard,
and, having been filled with water. are
sunk close to the wreck, one or more
ON each side, and at the bottom are
lashed by divers firmly to the wrecks
D.. by steel cables. An enormous pump
then drives the water from the cyliu-
ders and allows air TO enter in it's
place The result is that as the air
enters them the cylinders become
lighter and lighter. until finally the
buoyancy overcomeS the dead weight
or the wreck and gradually the cylin-
derS rise to the surface, bringing the
wreck with them
Success has already attended this
use OF buoyancy cylinders, not only
with smaller craft such as sunken sub
marines and destroyers, but frequently
with big ships as we'll.
Much has already been written on
the work done to date by the British
admiralty's salvage. department In the

Considerable Mileage
Is Record of These Tires

The advent of cord construction in
automobile tires has made possible the
manufacture of tires which give
astounding mileage, yet there are many
automobile owners who have found so
great a degree of satisfaction in some
favorite brand of fabric tire that they
are loath to change to the new type.
The United States Tire Company re-
ports sales of its fabric brands that
show these tires are continually gain
ing favor among motorists who want
good tires at a moderate initial cost
President ]. Newton Gum, of the
United States Tire Company, has re-
ceived this letter from New Haven
merchant, telling why he remains firm
in his allegiance to the "chain" tread:
II think 20,346 miles up to date is a
remarkable record for three out of a
set of five of your 35x41s chain tread
tires. They are still on my seven
passenger car in serviceable condition,
and the car is used every day.
"The full set of five tires was put on
my new car the first week in March,
1915. The first of the set went out of
commission April 2, 1918, after running
16,103 miles. The second blew out be-
yond repair the month following, but
the remaining three have been running
ever since. | have had few punctures
or blowouts, owing to the elasticity and
durability Of the tires"

Truck Business
Benefited bv Shows

The interest shown by visitors at
the Brooklyn Motor Truck Show last
week indicated not only the intense
interest being taken in the motor truck
delivery problem since the signing of
the armistice, but it also proved that
prospective purchasers are studying
the motor truck market very carefully.
This Is the opinion Of James j. Hunt,
general manager of the REQ Motor
Car Company of New York, Inc.
Ray Stehley, our Brooklyn repre-
sentative, and his staff tell me that
many of the visitors who were inter
eested in the REQ at the Brooklyn show

the New York show" says Mr.. Hunt.
The average user of commercial
vehicle does not pass snap Judgment
on truck and does not purchase it
as II he were buying a cigar He finds
1t worth his while to spend a little
time investigating the various makes
before he finally places his order. A
number of truck statesmen have found

products They have found that their
prospects IN making careful inquiry
have learned the real facts.
"Our organization is violently op-
posed to exaggerating the ability of

capacity. II man requires a three

we DO not try to sell him one-ton
chassis, just because the REQ appeals
to him and because he has the ready
cash. At both the New York and
Brooklyn commercial car shows we
did excellent business and these prove
an excellent tonic for the industry gen
