Exit Values Needed On
Subs, Ex-SaiIOr Claims
City Man, Former Diver,
Tells How Safety Meas
ureS Are Lacking.

Submarines should be equipped
with valves so that air and fresh
water could be introduced in all
compartments promptly, believes
Elmer L. Pohlman, Of 1923 Adams
st., who, during the World War,
had extensive submarine and diving
experience.
"The S-4 disaster furnishes evil
dence again." said Pohlman today,
that the submarine is what we
used to dub 1.-THE death-trap of
the Navy. 1t would seem to me that
with all the engineering talent at
the Governments disposal, valves
could be provided into each COM
partment. Had such valves been
installed on the S-4, the men might
have been kept alive indefinitely"
Served Three Years
Pohlman served most Of three
years in the Navy, three months Of
that time as electrician in sub
marine service. He was trained on
the CO., Ga and Do, none of
which, he said, was equipped with
valves for emergency use and with
only one hatch as a means of
escape.
I'm contrast with these craft" he
said, twas a French submarine to
which was assigned at Brest when
the French crew was short. Each
Of the compartments had its sep
arate means of escape-a sort of
hatch to the deck.
Another valuable aid to morale
of men in submarine, destroyers and
all types of Navy duty at sea would
be a submarine so equipped as to
permit divers to leave and enter it
while submerged. Most of the diff
ficulty in rescue work on the S-4
has been caused by bad weather and
nasty seas.
Calm Fifty Feet Down
"At depths of fifty or a hundred
feet, there is only the even flow of
the currents and none of the VOL
ence that losses relief ships about,
making diving hazardous if not i'm
possible.
"Embodying the torpedo tube
idea, it would not seem mechanical
ly impossible to equip a submarine
with an exit for underwater use.
BY this means divers from the re-
lief sub might go about relief work
regardless of waves or weather.
IF submarine, so constructed,
were placed in every naval district
so that it could be rushed to the
relief of sunken subs, it would be
atremendouS help to the morale Of
the men who never lose their ap-
prehenSion about sub service, al
though they may just laugh about
it."
Pohlman said his diving expert
ence was gained in repairing under
water parts Of the training subs. He
had been down as long as five hours
at one stretch he said, and as deep
as $50 feet.
1.-THE deeper you go, the sooner
you'll have to come up" he said. He
professed little knowledge Of the S
type subs, but called them palaces"
compared with the old G and D
types.

Exodus to Florida Rivals
Gold Rush Days, Say
Rail Officials.

Saffron seas and sunny skies are
Turing Hoosiers southward-hun
dreds of them every week, say rail-
road officials.
And while Indiaians sun them
selves on gold flecked Florida
beaches, California Chamber of
Commerce officials are turning
handsprings.
The exodus to Florida from In
diana equals that of several years
ago when the historic gold rush"
was in vogue, with California TAX
ing second place as a favorite re-
sort, most railroad officials say.
Older folks tour in the winter,
they declare. The youngsters travel
in the summer during their vaca-
tons. Usually about Oct. IS the
rush starts, but this year our friend
the weatherman, with predictions
and fulfillments of balmy climate,
Stemmed the tide until the second
week in November.
Florida Has Edge
Reservations to California were
heavy until this week when they
fell sharply. No one wants to spend
Christmas day on the train.
But Florida reservations were
heavy for trains until about thirty
six hours before Santa Claus time.
Travel bureau clerks shake their
heads when asked the why of the
Florida or Bust onslaught.
Interstate pilgrimages are heavi-
est around Christmas weekend.
Everyone is going home. But that
happens every year, and the volume
is about as heavy as in 1926.
Railroad officials estimate that
Florida reservations will be made
all through February. California
travel slows up about Jan. Is.
1T doesn't cost so much to go to
the peninsular State" was the
strongest answer to the "why?"
"That is, it doesn't cost SO much to
get there"
West Indies Cruise Popular
Some Indianapolis persons with
plenty of time booked steamship
passage to California via the Pan
anna Canal. They observed Christ
mas on the boat.
The Mediterranean and the Riviera
are Turing a few Hoosiers-but not
many. And some are even departing
on cruises around the world start
ing before the holidays. The bulk
of the people are going in January,
however.
The most popular ocean cruise for
Indianapolis persons is the one
through the West Indies. The desire
for sunshine and something stronger
than Wright Water" is said to be
the cause of the popularity. Then,
too, the trip is short.
Speaking of short trips, the fare
to Brightwood and Irvington and
other indianapolis suburbs is still
10 cents and less" said travel bu-
reauT C0fffeiRl. "But as for sunshine
and refreshment-."

 T am glad we have the co-opera- tion of woman in political life, and especially on educational questions. admit it is good that women should have achieved important things in other spheres, including the social sphere, so that everything may not be left to men, but no general rule should be deduced from this.
