SAFETY DEVICE
ON SUBMARINES
MEETS SUCCESS

ON BOARD L. 3. S. FALCON.
OFF KEY WEST, Fla. Jan. 30. U.R)
A fascinating new chapter IN
naval history is being written Il
few miles off Key West by volun-
tcer crew aboard the submerged sub
marine 81 and companion crew
aboard this craft.
For the first time since sub
marines were invented men have en-
tered su>nersib:e anc members
of her crew have escaped by means
of a huge seven and one half ton
diving bell-all in one operation.
Lieutenant Commander Palmer
H. Dunbar, in charge of the tests,
was highly optimistic AZ the success
of the experiments with the o.
Rouke bell. and was ready today for
further tests in deeper water than
the IS feet to which the 81 was
submerged yesterday.
1t was in a choppy, somewhat haz-
ardous sea that the new safety tests
were carried ont, at a spot II miles
out of Key West. Two members Of
the crew of the Falcon equipped
themselves with mechanical lungs
and entered the bell, which then was
lowered to the deck Of the S4 near
~ 20 feet below the surface.
Divers went down to the deck of
the submersible. to adjust the huge
device snugly over special bolts and
nuts arranged for the purpose.
On the second attempt the diving
bell "meshed" with the submarines
adjustments, the divers quickly
clamped home the bolts, and the two
men within the bell entered the sub.
Two members of the submarines
crew then climbed into the bell,
closed the hatch, signalled the divers
to release the clamping bolts, and
were hoistcd to the deck of the Fa,

of the Interior Wilbur today against
what he termed misinterpretation
of the Boulder dam act by the in
terror department.
Swing was cO-authOr of the bill
providing for construction of the
Colorado river power project. =.
The recent opinion by +. c. Fin
ney, solicitor of the department,
concerning the proper interpreta-
ton of the act would graft into
the law by interpretation, a policy
congress has deliberately declared
should be no part of that law"
Swing said in letter to Wilbur.
AT the cities are to be denied
preference right" Swing continued,
"the denial must be placed solely on
the ground that when the Boulder
dam act says the secretary shall give
due regard TO the public interest
those words constitute a direction
to the secretary to give private
power companies more right than
they would have received but for
those words.
"The words public interest in the
Boulder dam act were intended to
mean exactly the opposite of priv
ate interest. If the solicitors opin-
ion is accepted, then a strange irony
of fate has here played its part, be-
cause by this contention the munich
palities are to be grievously injured
by weapon forged by them as an
aid for defense of their rights"
Swing contended that it was the
clear intention of congress that
municipalities be given preference
ever private power companies in
the allotment of power developed
by the dam. Tentative power allot-
ments made by Wilbur are:

Ford Victorious
Over Big Truck

The battle of the trucks W a
waged again yesterday afternoon on
the Calexico-El Centre highway,
when two trucks, Mack, driven by
c. Hapeman, Los Angeles, and a
Ford, in the hands of c. J. John
son, Brawley, engaged in deadly com
oat, two miles north of Calexico.
The struggle was short and snap
pv and resulted in victory far the
lighter contender, according to the
report on record in the traffic de
p;.rtment' office The Mack, so
states this report, was going about
its business in an orderly fashion
when the Ford, in attempting to
pass, ran off the highway and cut
back again suddenly in front of
the larger truck, running the latter
into q ditch and fence at the side
OF the road. There were no personal
injuries; but slight damage to the
ears, and no arrests, according to
the report.
Just another ease of good little
fellow being better than n bigger
but slower opponent.

Marie Dressler
GarbO's Rival

Grcta Carlo, popular screen star,
who makes her talking debut in
"Anna Christie, now playing at
Fox Imperial Theatre, scored big
hit with last nights audiences, but,
as the race followers say, she had
to travel fast to keep ahead of
Marie Dressler.
The veteran Coincidence has n
wonderful role in the picture and
she makes the most of it, her facial
contortions being enough to cause
roars of laughter from the audi
ence. With George Marion, also n
veteran, Marie just about steals the
show and sends the audience home
almost forgetting the dramatic cpl
sodes of the play.
The great Carlo is all that her
reputation in the silent films indi-
Gated she would be, and "Anna
Christie" is an exceptionally good
vehicle for her emotional talents.
