PROHIBITION ADVERTISING

Thsre can be no valid objection againyt a paid governmental adver- tising campaign. to bs carried out in . legitimate manner. 20 long as there is no subterfugs about it. Such . campaign would bs educational in character. tending to encourage tenn perance, having the effect of a gem eral uplift. and possibly engenderinc that respect for the law which the government manifestly hopes will be one of the resultA
 But immediately upon the birth Of tho idea comes an objectionable feature, or at least one that might be vastly abused. to the disadvan- tage and irritation of municipalities. This is the matter of posters, which were widely used during the war, be- ing put up by the hundreds of thousands and covering every avaiI- able space in town and country. The people put up with this sort of thing during the war out of patriotic mo- tives; they may be lsss Inclined to see their outlook despoiled during peace time for any purpose whatev- CT. Such posters IS the government might issue can be we'll kept to gov ernment buildings, such as post of- fices, and not allowed to transgrsss elsewhere. Posters already almost overburden every post office and a few additional ones will not tend to spoil buildings which already are thus decorated in profusion. Posters should not be allowed to decorate public parks, as has been allowed in the past.
 How much good such a campa ign Of advertising publicity would ac- complish. of course. is 6 matter df opinion. Ardent prohibitionists nat urally will believe all moist citizens will be gradually converted; the moist citixens in all probability will laugh it off. The main thought ts that ten years after the law that was to revolutionixe tho country's habits has been in the Constitution and on the books it is still deemed essential that hgh-powersd governmental advertising campaign is necessary to help 1t toward success.

IN PRAISE OF HAMMOCKs

HlNtAokI oI bS41NbHSN~~e
 By Stuart M. Fool Houses have perches. and gardens have tress.
 Just n in Summers of yors, People are fond of reclining at Ponder, perhaps, than before. There is still shade on the yard ani the lawn. But where. oh where has the
 hammock gone? Hammocks are useful for numer. ous things.
 Loafing and reading and rest: Man for hts comfort. needs seme- thing that swiugs- Hammocks were always the best. Substitutes fall; they are tsptd and weak: Hammocks alone had tho right
 kind of sausak. What can be done on a warm afternoon
 When there's no hammock around? Lazily swing to the bumblebesa croon
 Three or four feet from the ground? Surely the finest of weather ta vain When there's no hammock. 1t might as we'll rain! Reading and resting. and likewise romance
 Thrived when the hammock was kind! Now people rambls and gamble and dance,
 Being unable to swing. Summer is hers--I must put up . hook, Hang an old hammock, and borrow a book!

carelessness, lay for number Of hours On the
bottom. On the S-48 the crew finally managed
to tighten up the bow till 1t broke surface.
They escaped through the torpedo tubes. On
the SIS the crew, after desperate struggle
in deep water. foated their stern, which barely
projected above the sea, with the crew still
trapped inside. There they stayed until pass
ing steamer cut q hole in the submarines plates
and rescued them.
In both these cases the boats went down
unchanged; it can be expected In similar fu-
ture cases that the crews can rescue them-
selves, provided only that an escape trunk Is
fitted at each end Of the boat.
IF a submarine is damaged in collision OK in-
jured by bombs or shells 1t is unlikely that
the crew can raise any part Of her unaided.
II the boat is wholly flooded as q result of
the damage the crew will all be dead and
Tin peace time) there win be no need for haste
in salvage. II part or all of the crew Is still
alive inside the boat, then one end of the boat
or the other will be buoyant and unfiooded, and
consequently relatively easy to lift. In such q
case the rescue method which best suits the
needs Of peace and war and which exposes the
trapped crew to the least risk is to raise the
boat, or at least that end Of her in which the
crew is alive.

at hand the lifting rig, the salvage ship with
its trained crew and divers, and the submarine
herself must be fitted with the means for quick
ly attaching the lifting pull. And. finally. it
must be possible for the men inside the boat
to live until the boat is raised
Toward all these points tremendous strides
have been made in the last year. Taking the
last point first It is perhaps not generally
known that Of the crew of 40 men inside the
Sd not one man was drowned as a result nj
the flooding from the collision, nor was lack
Of oxygen the immediate cause of any deaths.
Inability to get rid of the carbon dioxide from
their breathing killed Off the "a men aft in
less than "a hours; the same excess of carbon
dioxide, together with cold, killed the six men
trapped forward.
To avoid this, all submarines now are be-
ing supplied with chemicals which will keep
the air purified for a reasonable length Of time
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-07-07

- HE week before Christmas, 1928. A
little vessel pitched wildly to the
wintry seas off the tip of Cape Cod,
II while a few cork buoys tied to
diving hose marked the spot 100
feet below where the S-4 lay
All the world during that sad week figura-
lively listened in on the Falcons mcrophoneS
as from the depths the feeble raps of a ham
mer beat out in dots and dashes the last
messages of the six men trapped inside the
torpedo room of the smashed submarine. "Ar
getting very bad, Please hurry" and finally,
rs there any hope?"
The storm blew on; those on the Falcon lis
tened helplessly; the men inside died. The
storm at sea finally subsidized.
But another storm arose-a storm of public
opinion, which in the press and in Congress
burst into the demand that never again should
such a tragedy be possible. And it is one OF
the features of our age that, regardless of ap-
parently insurmountable difficulty, what public
opinion truly demands speedily becomes fea-
Sble.
There is nothing really new in submarine
salvage rescue apparatus. The sole new fea-
lures of the present year are that since the
S-4 disaster, public opinion has been focused
on the subject, funds have been made available
for experiment and equipment and the few
hide bound technicians who were so obSeSSed
by the idea that "a submarine is primarily a
warshp" that they were unable to visualize
reasonable safety for the crews have been swept
into the discard.
The S-4 and the Ssh which was sunk short
1y before her, were not the first American sub
marines to be lost nor will they be the last.
It Is rational to expect that so long as there
are submarines there will be submarine acct
dents: a reasonable degree of preparation there
fore is certainly warranted.
One of the early ideas in submarine work
was to provide a simple rig which the crew
could hastily don in an emergency and escape
through flooded compartment. Before the
World War our Navy experimental with
breathing apparatus of this type. On one of
the German submarines surrendered after the
armisttce was found booklet describing such
device, with an Illustration showing the crew
