Couples Should Part
Every Year, Shaw
Believes

LONDON, July desperate
vacations for married people were
approved yesterday in an inter
view by George Bernard Shaw.
Shaw restricted his approval of
separate vacations for husband
and wife to the earlier years of
marriage. He said:
81 believe in separate vacations
in the earlier stages of married
life. In fact, l think married
people should get away from each
other whenever they feel so in.
cIined. 1t saves friction. Married
people get stale when they see
too much of each other.
Married people, however. get
beyond the stage when they see
too much OF each other. When
they have lived long enough to-
gether. however, they do not
want to take separate HOLIDAYS"

The Public Utilities Commits

mite step toward stopping the
newly organized 10-cent jitney
service by the independent taxi
cab owners, otherwise known as
the Diamond Cab Company.
The Corporation Counsel was d.
rected to prepare a letter to the in
dividual cab drivers to explain why
they had launched an unauthorized
public utility service from II hack
stands without proper authority
from the Utilities Commission.
Up Against Problem
Since the cab drivers also are

NEW YORK, July IA brand
new Democratic party, shorn Of
the last vestige OF the old Bryan
fringe, made its bow to the country
today.
In the drivers seat Is Governor
Alfred f.. Smith, the 1928 nominee
and beside him sits as National
Chairman John J. Raskob. who has
been not inaptIy called "a second
Judge Gary" as spokesman for 50,
called big business.
1T is a wholly new Democratic
party at the p-friendly instead
OF hostile to big business, frankly
and avowedly wet at the top, sym
pathetic with the plight OF agri,
culture--and it gives promise of
conducting a bold, organized
and amply-financed campaign for
the presidency.

How Smith Picked RaskOb
An interesting story was told
TODAY of how Governor Smith came
TO make the final choice of Raskob

suite on the fourteenth floor of the
Fillmore Hotel. A Snoke-fi filled room
with 4 dozen men present. The

The men-Malmgren and two compan-
ions, Capts Alberto Mariana and Filippi
Zappi-had been located drifting ice
pack off North East Land yesterday by Rus
sian Aviator Chuchnovsky. After circling
over the group the airman was compelled by
fog to land on North East Land.
The commander of the Krassin had been
appraised by wireless of the location of the
party and the ship started in their direc-
ton, but was compelled to travel slowly be-
cause of icebergs. The rescue was effected
at $40 a. m. today, Greenwich mean time.
Wireless advices to the Russian Mobile
relief committee today gave details of the
dramatic rescue.
When Professor MaImgrens companions were
carried aboard the Krassn they fell upon their knees
before Captain Samoyolovich, master of the ship,
sobbing with joy and calling upon heaven to shower
its blessings upon the brave seaman.

THE election of such a candidate
as Al Smith," Mcbride said, would
materially aid the liquor criminals
of the country by wantonly handi-
Gaping the enforcement of the law
by the appointment of complaisant
Judges and blind-tiger officials, thus
bringing about condition worse
than repeal.
Amy argument of the Smith
partisans that their candidate couto
not iniure prohibition is as false
as the usual Tammany camouflage,
and any statement to the effect that
any dry leaders or active drys have
been deceived by this Smith propa-
ganda is absolutely false.
ANY men or group of men that
RELY upon appeals to the baser pas
sions or to the appetites or TO the
exploitation of the weaknesses of
their fellowmen, cannot hope to win
victory against opponents whose
appeal is based upon loyalty to
constitutional government, cOntinu-
'ance of our unrivaled prosperity and
maintenance OF the unequaled health
achieved under prohibition.
The statement did not name any
presidential candidate but Smith.
1t named no party.
Answer to RaskOb
MrBrde's statement came only a
few hours after John j. I;askoh
newly selected chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, had
publicly endorsed Smiths attitude
on prohibition.
While the Anti-Saloon League
thus charted its course in the cam
paisn. the organized anti-prohibition
forces were revealed as equally
ready for the battle.

CAN SAVE MEN IN
SUNkEN SUBMARINE
Tests Made BY Navy Prove Prac-
ticabiity Of Device

On Board the Submarine Salvage
Vessel Falcon, Solomon's Island,
Md, Sept. u R-Going down into
the deepest hole in the choppy
waters OF the Chesapeake Bay, three
navy divers yesterday successfully
accomplished a test to show that
men entraped in sunken submarine
can escape by means of a new sub
marine safety device, called the
lung. from depth OF 1855 feet.
Simple Apparatus
The divers came from the bottom
of the bay using the simple ap-
paratus which consists of an oxygen
bag and a mouth piece attachment.
At the bottom of the bay they en-
countered a pressure of IS pounds
to the square inch. but they reached
the surface without the slightest dis
comfort and this dispelled all fears
and dangers of divers bends from
the use of the apparatus.
Most unfavorable conditions for
the place OF the experiments were
especially picked in order that the
reliability of the Jung could be
established.
The divers, who went down In a
5000 pounds diving bell. which sim
ulated q flooded compartment of a
sunken or wrecked submarine were
Lieut.. G. B. Momsen, submarine and
diving expert, a co-inventor Of the
apparatus, and Navy Divers Joseph
Eiben and Edward kalimoskia Of
the Washington navy yard. They
all performed service as divers dur
ing the salvaging of the wrecked
submarines Ssh and S-4 in New
England waters. The diving bell
was let down to the bottom of the
bay three times by the Falcon.
Many Being Made
It was made known that several
scores of these devices are being
constructed and their final test, that
of being used for actual escape from
a flooded submarine and 225 foot
of water. will be made next month
by the same divers.
The naval Officers expressed be-
}lief that today's successful test will
result in the equipping of all of the
IS submarines in the United States
navy with lungs" for each men,
