 T am sure he is perfectly all right and it is nonsense to think otherwise" Mrs. Lindbergh said. ''In the first place Charles is not at all of a nervous temperament. When I saw him Christmas I asked him about current reports that his health was not what it should be and he laughed at the idea. He thought it was a good joke"
 Regarding reports that while Col. Lindbergh was in Mexico City he picked up books in the library of Ambassador Morrow and nervously lingering them. laid them down. Mrs. Lindbergh said he had no time to read

REALISM IN ART IS BUT PASSING
David Bdasco Thinks Happiness
 Will Be Nst Vogue

New York. Jan. 23 R1David Belasco, noted playwright. writing in the New York American today, predicse that the present age of realism in art, literature and the drama wih stay only its allotted time by 3 vogue that will deal only with happiness and sweetness.
 MT. Belasco points out. that art, literature and the drama of the pre- ceding decades were true of their own day as the people of that day looked upon life.
 Its merely" he writes. "that our viewpoint has undergone q radical transition these last 20 years and our diversions perforce have changed with it.
 He recalled that revival a few years ago of two of the biggest stage successes of two decades ago provoked laughter over the ringing speeches of the hero, the leering curses of the villain and the helpless appeals of the heroine.
 T could appreciate why the pub lie laughed" he said. because my viewpoint had changed too, natural ly But that is no reflection of the intelligence Of the audiences Of the years when such plays brought no laughter. It is merely that we look ed on life differently in those days. And each. according to his genera ton. was right"
 Mir. Belasco attributed the present realism to the world war and the advancement of science. The former. he said. brought to our attention the seamy side of life, and science taught us . contempt for untruth that will not permit us to blind our selves to these unpleasant facts.

HLSBERGS VIEWS
 REPORTED IGNORED
Recommended Hitting Eyes,
 for Subs Away Back n 1925

Washington. Jan. B Rl-A report by Commander Ellsberg recommend ing the installation of lifting eyes" and other safety devices on sub- marines was made public today by Representative Celler. democrat. New York, with the remark that it had been ignored by the navy de- partment.
 Ellsberg. who directed rescue ef- forts on the S-51 and S-4, made the report in October, 1925.
 '.The exact date of sinking of the Text submarine cannot, of course, be foretold." Eilsberg said, but based on past performances it can be ex- pected within the next three years. It is desirable that when it occurs, there be available such means for quick salvage that no possible criti- cism can be made of the navy on the ground of unpreparedness.
 Tt is strongly recommended that all submarine boats in commission be fitted immediately with lifting eyes. and that complete set of pom toons I2 eighty-ton pontoons) suf- ficient to life an S-class or earlier boat be assembled at an Atlantic port and at a Pacific port.
 'The problems of properly trained salvage ship, and sufficient number of trained deep sea divers must not be forgotten"
 Eilsberg said that in addition to the straight salvage problem certain changes within the submarine were necessary for greater safety. The most important of these," he added. is to fit all matches and ventilation valves with such locking gear (ac- cessibie to diver) as will make these matches and valves capable of tightness against an internal excess pressure of at least 30 pounds"
 "The locking gear on the S-51 valves was so weak" he said, that bad leakage started at an excess in- ternal pressure 9f only two to four pounds, causing Nxtreme difficulty in sealing up."
 "All matches and doors" he con- tinued. should be of such size that diver can pass through without endangering his life. Conditions in this respect were bad on the S-51. It is noted that on the Vi and V-2 conditions are even worse as regards access through matches and in- terior doors, and the salvage work on these V boats, if divers must work inside. will be hazardous i'll the extreme"
 Cellar said that no reference has been made to the Elsberg recom- mendations in the hearings and re- ports on both the S-51 and S-4 dis 1 asters and that he was advised that the navy department, when called upon to produce the recommends tions soon after the S-4 catastrophe said 1t had no record of them. They probably had been pigeon n-holded he added.
