lifted with the crew in it. The rescue methods
developed may aim at one or the other Of these
two means. In time Of peace, the rescue or
the crew is most important and the salvage
of the boat is secondary; in time Of war, when
the safety of the Nation itself is at stake and
men are being sacrificed by the thousands on
the battlefield in that cause, the sunken sub
marine boat itself becomes far more important
than her crew, and its quick salvage and re-
turn to the fighting line may be Of the utmost
importance.
A MODERN submarine costs over 100000
n and takes over a year to build: It Is the
most effective weapon known for keeping an
enemy fleet off shore and preventing lombard
ment of costal cities. In time of war, the value
to the Nation of each submarine goes far be-
yond its money cost. One has only to remem-
Der the frantic efforts of this Nation to pur-
chase warships when the Spanish War broke
out, and the millions of dollars spent in the
last war in salvaging wrecked ships of all sorts,
to realize how difficult it Is in war time to get
ships
The question of submarine salvage and res
cue work must be considered in both its war
time and its peace-time aspects, ana the means
adopted be such as to cover both cases as well
as possible.
Submarines may sink from collision damage
from failure of the control mechanism or from
enemy action due to depth bombs, or gunfire
Providing that the depth of water is not over
300 feet land this is likely in most cases of
submarine operations) divers can work, and
escape for the crew is possible.
If the boat is sunk by flooding at one end
and the crew is left in possession of the con-
troll room amidships, it is extremely probable
that the crew themselves will be able to bring
at least the unf1ooded end of their boat to
the surface and thus escape from the bottom
without external aid. This has happened Tn
the cases of two of our boats the SIS and
the SAB, which, sunk by flooding due to gross

of a sunken submarine seated in a flooded
ROOM each man wearing the breathing device
and waiting his turn to escape up the hatch.
WHILE the idea was not new, little was done
toward making it practical till the pres
sure of public opinion after the S-4 disaster
forced the development of this idea along with
other rescue experiments. Under Lieut. Nom
sens direction, the rescue breathing mask was
developed in a novel and much simplified form,
consisting principally of rubber bag Of the
approximate capacity of the human lungs, to-
gether with mouthpiece for breathing, nose
clip for sealing the noStrilS, a small soda lime
cartridge for purifying the rebreathed air and
an automatic vent valve.
With this apparatus, under proper conditions,
man can breathe under water for the rela-
lively short period required to rise to the sur
face, and can then use the inflated bag Cor
"lungD as a life preServer.
For cases where outside rescue apparatus
cannot be applied in time, and where the crew
must escape by its own efforts the value OF
this apparatus is ineStimable. If a submarine
is property fitted with escape hatches it is like
ly that if the boat could not be lifted quickly
the crew, wearing the lungs" could emerge
to safety. This can be done with certainty
from compartments fitted with double-doored
airlocks. However, in cases where the compart-
ment itself must be flooded first to equaliZe
the pressure and allow an outside hatch to be
opened to the sea- it is not probable that in
the confined space inside the submarine, with
the boat lying at an unnatural angle and
wreckage floating in the water, large group
of men could extricate themselves, one by one,
through a narrow hatch and rise to the sur
face.
The rescue of the crew of sunken subma-
rine may be attempted in various ways-the
crew may emerge to safety assisted by the
lung" or an ordinary diving helmet, leaving
the boat on the bottom; or the boat may be

HEADS HAPPY
Bright Prospects For Good
Cotton Crop Are Seen
BY Officials

SAN BENTTO, Tex. June 90
With the first bale or Valley cotton
already ON the New York market,
the 1929 season is slowly getting un-
derway with present indications
pointing TO a good crop. according TO
II. p. Boyd. vice president Of the
Valley Gin company, pioneer Valley
ginners.
Every indication points to an un-
usually good cotton crop this year.
Mr.. Boyd said. although the weevil
situation is still undetermined as
far as crop damage Is concerned. We
do know that infestation is very
heavy In regions where poison Is not
used. Some farmers do not realize
that the use of calcium arsenate now
and in the immediate future will
materially increase the yield per
acre and more than pay for the cost
OF the poison"
@. c.. Henson. president Of the
Valley Gin company was also bull
ish on the present cotton crop out
look. He pointed out that his Or
ganization waS preparing to handle
a bumper crop this year and that all
ginning units Of the company had
been placed in condition TO handle
an unusually heavy ginning demand.
I'VE have watched the situation
very closely" Mr.. Henson said. "and
observations have led us TO prepare
for a banner year as far as cotton Is
concerned. We have consequently
spared no expense TO get our gins
ready to handle the crop when il
gets under way. All weak and worm
machinery has been replaced and
the entire system of each unit has
been thoroughly overhauled by ex-
pert gin mechanics"

claraticns that farmers should not
underestimate the danger of weevii
damage. He declared that infesta-
ton was extremely heavy and that
only through continued use OF poison
could farmers hope to keep weevil
damage at a minimum. He pointed
out that once infestation had gained

DRINK WATER IF
KIDNEYS BOTHER

Flush your kidneys by drinking
Il quart Of water each day, also
take salts occasionally, says a
noted authority, who tells us that
too much rich food forms acids
which almost paralyze the kid
neyS in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become
sluggish and weaken: then you
may suffer with a dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, diz2i.
ness, your stomach SourS, tongue
Is coated, and when the weather
is bad YOU have rheumatic
twinges.
To help neutralize these irri-
tating acids; to help cleanse the
kidneys and flush off the body's
waste, get four ounces of Jad
salts from any pharmacy here.
Take a tablespoon in a glass
Of water before breakfast for q
few days, and your kidneys may
then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys; also to neutral
lie the acids in the system 50
they no longer irritate. thus often
relieving bladder weakness.

not injure and makes q. delightful
