 Unaware of the Navy's long series of experiments, the public at large gave vent to violent criticism during and after the S-4 tragedy. Letters in which bitter invective was mingled with fantastically impossible suggestions for the prevention of similar tragedies were received by the hundreds. Mean while the Navy experts continued their painstaking and unrecognlzed efforts to perfect the third lung"
 Equipment was devised that would simulate, on the surface of water, con- ditions obtaining far down below. Enormous tanks and special decom- pression chambers, fitted with high pressure air systems, were built, and glass sight ports, to permit observation from the outside, were inserted into these tanks and chambers.
 The ensuing tests were exhaustive. Using the Navy Yard and diving tank and belt, men were released from the depths unprotected by oxygen stimula. ton. Their discomfort was slight, con- sstlng merely of a sense of pressure inside Lnelr DOCleS SQch aScentS rom depths of more than forty feet, how ever, produced boated stomachs and distended neck glands.
 It had been suggested, too that men could emerge from submerged sub- marines without any special protective device and swim to the surface in the so-called air bubble supposed to rise from the escape lock when the over head hatchway is opened. The bubble was syntheticaly produced, but experi- ments showed that the properties which had been attributed to it were largely non-existent, and that it would offer small protection to the swimmers
 One grave factor that had to be considered was the dreaded "Casson Disease" or Divers Bend" which re- sults from absorption of nitrogen by the blood and tissues when high pres. sure air is breathed. When the pres sure is relaxed by the man rising in the water, the nitrogen is released as gas bubbles which collect around the

TOR twelve years the U. S. Navy F Department has tried desperately
 to solve the problem of breathing under water. During the past four years research and experimentation have yielded various inventions to SUD- ply men trapped in submarines beneath the sea with oxygen batteries.
 And now, after costly and brain- taxing tests, the Government believes that it has discovered a literal third lung" to prevent such tragedies as that of the S-4, which went down of Provincetown, Mass, year ago with the loss of thirty-fve lives.

This purifies the poisoned exhaled air, which can be used over again. The bag is connected with mouthpiece by flexible rubber tubes, about an inch in diameter and similar to the war gas mask variety.
 Intricate valves control the direction of the flow of inhaled and exhaled air. And the whole appliance weighs only two and quarter pounds! A nose piece, which had been designed and attached to the mouthpiece, was dis carded after experiments proved it un. necessary.

CODA EXPEDITION
TO LEAVE Jan. 3
Capt. Robert R. Bennett to
Head Party to Study An
cient Maya Ruins.


Capt. Robert r. Bennett, $3.50 Con-
duit road, will lead an expedition leav-
ing New Orleans January 3, under the
auspices of the Museum of the Amer
lean Indian, Heye Foundation, New
York, to explore the ruins Of the an
cient Maya city of Coba and a stone
road, at least 1900 years old. which is
presumed to run from Chichen Itza~to
Coba and thence south.
Fragments Of the ruins Of Coba were
seen from the air recently by Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, but the vegeta-
ton was so dense that it was impos-
sible to obtain any information about
the road.
Capt. Bennett, who is a lawyer by
profession, has had much experience as
an archaeological explorer in Central
America. His first explorations were
made at the ruins of Quirigua, Guata-
mala, in 1890, when they were sur
necessary to walk around in water to
obtain photographs of monuments.
These ruins are now a beautiful park,
maintained by the United Fruit Co.
Other Explorations.
In 1891 he visited UXmal, Yucatan,
after which he explored the cliffs and
Indian villages around Lake Isabella,
Guatemala, visiting the Lake Atitlan
region. The opening and exploration of
several mounds near Omoa, Honduras,
occurred in 1919 and the ruins OF Tu-
loom and others on the west coast of
Yucatan and the Islands of Mugeres
and Cozumel were explored in 1928.
The object of the present expedition
Is to set at rest all presumptions con-
corning the old stone road. This road
is the work of ancient Mayas and is
constructed of huge blocks of stone
smoothed of at the top with a fine
limestone cement. underneath which
rubble Is now visible, and the crust
having broken through, it Is very ar
duous task to travel on the z miles
which have been explored. After that
it enters a dense jungle, which must

that there will be revealed dated stelae

covery upset the theories of many emf
