SUBMARINE PHONE
SYSTEM PERFECTED
New Device Expected to Fa-
ciIitate Underseas Work
in ReSCues.

Another step toward facilitating sub
marine rescue operations has been
taken, the Navy Department announced
yesterday officially, in revealing that q
system for two-way voice communlca-
ton between surface vessel and an
entrapped submarine on the sea bottom
has now been perfected. This is the
result of series of experiments. some
of which were conducted at the Wash
ington Navy Yard, in conjunction WIN
the diving school, some in laboratories
and some at New London, Conn.
This announcement said that all the
apparatus is on the surface vessel,
nothing being required on the subma-
rine, the hull of which acts as a dla-
phragm and sound conductor to the
reproducer on the surface. Following
service tests, the apparatus has been
pronounced satisfactory and after some
minor improvements have been MADE,
the device will be installed on all sub
marine rescue vessels and, as funds per-
nit, also on submarine tenders, the de-
partment said.
System Is Developed.

departments official statement said

has been developed by sound personnel
employed by the Navy.
1T is somewhat similar to speech am

except that the sound producer is much
more rugged and is designed to work
against hydrostatic instead of atmos-
pheric perSSure. It is water tight and

at has been tested under service con-
ditionS and found to be quite satisfac-
tory. After a few minor improvements
have been incorporated the device is to
be installed on all submarine rescue
vessels and, as funds permit, also on
submarine tenders.
THE operation is simple. All the
necessary equipment, including motor
generator, amplifier, reproducer, bat
teries and cable, are carried on the sur
face ship; nothing is required on the
submarine. The hull of the submarine
acts as a diaphragm and sound con-
ductor to the reproducer. A simple
switching device on the surface vessel
permits the reproducer to be USED eltner
as a tranSmitter of sound from the sur
face vessel or receiver OF sound from
the submarine. Good meditation was
obtained; different voices could be
recognized"

What Is Speedy Justice?

When the two parties hold their conventions, the
delegates might seek definition of that speedy justice
which is guaranteed by the Constitution
Does it mean that must wait years for final
decision the courts and that speed is relative term
indefnable and wholly unmportant?
Or does ii mean that the courts under obliga-
ton to render final verdcts within reasonable time?
When it comes to the nomination of candidates
for the highest court the delegates should at least
pledge their nominees to program that will promise
to the people of the state reasonable alacry in solv
ing disputed questions of law and fact.
The constitutional provision for speedy juustice
not an idle phrase 1t calculated to protect the
citizens from being kept in Jail, forgotten and with
out aria It was also designed to bring to swift justice
in criminal cases the guilty so that the law should
not be defeated by protecting the powerful through
interminable delays.
Especially was it calculated prevent justice from
being amputated by delay in appeals
The record of the present supreme court should
be studied by both party conventions before nonina-
tions are made.
1t is possible that the conventions will decide that
the record shows reasonable compliance with the Con-
stitution They may decide that of the causes OF
growing suspicion of courts is in delay
1t may be suggestive that final decision in any
one of the political convictions daring the expose

Perhaps the legal questions are so involved as to
make the task difficult for court constituted is
the present one. That might raise the question as
to the desrability of different court.
1t is just possible that ringing declaration in
party platforms reaffrmng belief in the Constitu-
ton insofar as it relates to swift justice would dSpel
some of the apparent ethargy.

Value of AntitOXin Is Established

| when the person RECEIVERS he has
developed in his own body his own
antitoxin, which is one reason why
one seems to have this disease twice.
If one is injected with small doses
of toxin or poison, he builds up re-
sistance to diphtheria in his own
body. If it is desirable to stimu-
late his resistance building factor
still more, it is necessary to give
him larger doses Of toxin.
However, such procedure would be
unsafe. Therefore, it is customary
to add antitoxin to the toxin, which
prevents it from working harm, but
not prevent the body from respond
ing to the injection of the toxin by
building up more resistance.
Few people realize the background
of the way in which the body OPP
poses disease. The process is calico
immunization.
The terms vaccination, inocula-
ton, injection and similar terms
refer to the fact that The substance
is being put into the body so the
body builds the materials to OPP
pose it.

been immunized in New York with

Now, if, Franklin Fort is in any
sense a spokesman for the drys, it
almost seems as if the eighteenth
amendment might well be re-en-
titled, IAN amendment to impair

This is the strangest moral con-
cept which yet has cropped up in
land turned topsy-turvy by the
incantations of dervishes asserting
divine inspiration.
It is, as I understand it, a crime
and sin to drink good beer-a
sin and crime punishable by pen
alties ranging all the way up to
sudden death.
But Mr.. Fort and his friends say
that it isn't a crime at all to drink
bad beer. It was a wicked and a
horrible thing, they say, for men to
walk around the corner and in a
public place regale themselves with
stems and SchoonerS.

AVER in New Jersey, Representa-
~ tive Franklin w. Fort is run
ming in the Republican senatorial
primary as dry. But it seems to
me that this estimable gentleman is
out to win the all-comers' straddling
championship.
Of course, he can expect keen
competition from his fellow politi-
clans in Washington. He must
meet and conquer men who have
made straddling a lifelong art.
The big coach in the picture

driven through a giant California
redwood tree could be enlarged
three-fold and still pass easily be-
tween the knees of some of our

Just the same, Fort is going to
win the title. Some may dispute
that he is dry at all. Indeed, the
New York World has bestowed upon
him the highly appropriate label
kitchen wet"
You may remember Mr.. Fort as
the gentleman who undertook to
solve the whole prohibition question
satisfactorily by the process of the

antitoxin and of toxin-antitoxin in
the control of this disease.
Few people understand the diff
ference between toxin, antitoXin,
and toxin antitoxin. When horse
is injected with the poison which
diphtheria germs develop, he de-
velops in his blood substance
which opposes the poison of the
diphtheria germ. The poison is
called toxin.
The material in the blood which
opposes the poison of diphtheria
is antitoxin. If a child does not
have enough of this antitoxin in
it's blood to overcome diphtheria in
lection, the physician gives it anti
toxin to help it.
If child has been exposed to
diphtheria and it is necessary very
promptly to give it something to
help it ward off the disease, anti
toxin may be injected.
However, this antitoxin does not
protect for a long period of time.
It must be remembered that it has
been elaborated in animals and not
in the patients own body, and that
therefore it's effects wear of In
about three weeks.
Of course, if a person has diph-

The End of a Cruise

Alas for the fraity of heroic aspirations! deep
pit has been digged beside the pathway that leads to
romantic achievement and nothing is Sadder or more
melancholy than the way in which those who try to
follow that pathway keep tumbling into it.
Some time ago one Nicholas George Gongopolus OF
Miami Fla decided to sail back to his native Greece
He contrived for himself sixteen-foot cutter, sent
the Greek flag utterng to the masthead and set sail
1t to be gallant, glamorous cruise-one man in
a Skf defying the Atlantic Ulysses himself or Jason
might have approved of this sturdy countryrnan.
But now the voyage has ended. 1t ended three
days out when Gongopous asked tramp freight
steamer to pick him up and abandoned his cruise. He
was not out of supplies in danger from the ele-
ments-but he horribly seasick!
more melancholy end for gallant adventure
would be hard to imagine.

REASON By FE EERBFs

n TICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER, president Of Co.
IN lumbia university, and who may be found there
once twice year, just has delivered speech in
London abusing the tariff BILL now in conference at
Washington.
This tariff bill is far from perfection and it is all
right to crcise it here but nobody but cheap skate
evil go abroad and speak lightly of anything in his
land whether it be a woodpecker landscape or
an act Of legislation
Butler long has made annual pilgrmages to Eu-
rope to kowtow to everything the other side, and
causes Europeans to gasp that marvellous could
issue from a land so hopeless and now and then to
say something to embaraSs our governments policies.
TINE state department should muzze all Americans
1 who make fun of their own land on foreign soil
and it should provide thta they shall keep still about
matters of public policy
The tariff is highly controversial matter just
now and Butler has poured oil upon the burning OPP
position in Europe.
Rather late in life this erstwhile champion of high
tariff ndS 1t vicious TO guarantee pronG TO anyDooy

decent measure of protection the dierence in the
cost Of production here and abroad
But so long the profit was guaranteed to great
manufacturers Butler able to restrain himself.
only when it was invoked to help staggering agri-
" culture did Nicholas Murray discover that it is
highly reprehensible.
In other words it all right for the east, but 1t
is all wrong for the west.
BY way of retaliation, European statesmen who do
not like US anyhow strive to erect hostile economic
until the other side which will xclude exports

criticism of his countrys tariff speeding up the
blood OF our enemies.
This distinguished nuisance should be brought
home and parked at Columbia university, where stu
dents might get to see him once in while and vince
his powers for national embarrassment would be re-
duced to minimum.

The Prison Situation

The killing of one prisoner at Michigan
City by another, who, it appears, was re-
leased from the insane ward, not because he
was cured, but because there was no room
for him there, suggests that there should be
a survey of conditions in prisons in this
state
Other states whose prisons were over
crowded have had some very tragic expert
ences. In nearly every case, the cause of
these tragedies was found to be overcrowd-
ing, poor food, lack of employment for
prisoners.
The same unemployment that faces men
outside of prisons is being reflected in the
prisons. The various enterprises operated
under the contract system are suffering. In
one of the state prisons it is reported that
several of the factories are entirely sus-
pended and men formerly employed in them
are now idle.
Idleness for men outside of prisons is bad
enough. Inside prison it becomes ntoler-
able. When overcrowGlng is added, the stage
is set for almost anything.
Other states have utilized to advantage,
l1dlly III Vic OUI4ulIlS VI AOoUO' ONAAA
others have provided farms. Outside work
has been effective in restoring not only
health but self respect to many convicts. Ex-
pert penologists recommend it.
That insane convicts are allowed to
mingle with the sane prison population for
no other reason than that there is lack of
room in the insane wards demands immedi-
ate action.
Indiana should have no prison problem.
It has enough problems to solve for the
orderly and free.

When Experts Disagree

man hardly be blamed for being rather badly
puzzled.
This London treaty now Admiral Pratt, COM

suits me- adding that he is the chap who would have
to fight with it if war comes. But Admiral Jones ex-
coriates the treaty bitterly declaring that condemns
us to position of permanent inferiority.
While all this is going on British conservatives rise
in the house OF to condemn the treaty from
another standpoint They say precisely what Admiral
Jones is saying only they say it otherend-to; that
is they attack it because it condemns Britain to
position of inferiority at sea-

Those Dry HereticS

GONE of the other drys have ac-

ness. I heard Senator Smith Wild
man Brookhart give voice to the
same theory in a debate with Clar-

The gentleman from Iowa said
that nobody was interfering with
Mr.. Darrow's personal liberty. Mr..
Darrow, according to the senator,
was legally entitled to concoct beer
and wines in his own house, pro-
vided that they were not intoxicat-

The courts have made some deci-

edge above the Volsteadian limit of

like a silly arrangement.

QUEEN VCTORIA'S BIRTH
May "a

ON May "a, 1919, Alexandria Vic
" toria, queen of Great Britain
and ireland, in whose reign England
is said to have arisen to a greater
position in the world than 1t ever
had attained before, was born at
Kensington palace.
She was the only child of Edward,
fourth son of George III, who died
when she was only months old.
On the death of her uncle, Will
lam w, Victoria succeeded to the
throne at the age of Is. Three years
later she married Albert, prince of
Saxe-C;oburg- Gotha, by whom she
had nine children.
Her reign was distinguished by
great movements of vast impor-
lance. In the thirties came the
first victory for the reform Of the
system of electing members Of par
lament.
In the forties the battle for cheap
food was won, and the tax on i'm
ported corn removed. In the sixties
the cause for national education
was won and the education act of
1870 was passed.
The strict Standard of propriety
which she set for her court had a
wide social influence and was re-
fiected in the literature Of the perod,
which has become known as the Vic
torian era. !. .....ls1
