Amateurs AS Inventors

The notion that all Americans arc of an inventive
turn of mind receives a rude shock at the hands Of
the Navy Department. With one exception every one
Of the 4,971 suggestions for submarine safety and
salvage devices sent to the department after the dis
astrous sinking Of the S-4 has been rejected. either
IS impracticable or as a mere repetition Of devices
already tested. John F. ORourke, a subway engineer
OF New York City. is the one contributor whose sug-
gestion Is still being considered by the Navy; his plan
Tor an escape chamber has been subjected to a num-
Der Of tests and will undergo others.
Tie one suggestion Of proved value TO come as an
aftermath of the S-4 disaster emanated from the
Navy itself in the shape Of the submarine lung" a
breathing device invented by an officer, a warrant
officer and a civil engineer of the Navy. This de-
vice has been made standard equipment on all sub
marines. One Of its advantages is that it is small
and light and permits Of being slowed away easily
In the small amount Of space available in a subma-
fine. When the lungs now ordered are delivered
the Navy will have a supply sufficient to provide two
fur each man aboard a submarine and a number Of
spares for each vessel.

Ireland's President

1t may seem strange that a Government that has
lasted longer than any other Of postwar Europe
should fall for the lack OF two votes. but the res.gna-
ton Of william 7. Cosgrave as President of the Irish
free State does not mean that he will not be his
own successor. The combination of Republican and
Labor votes in the Dali Eireann falls considerably
short Of the combined strength of the Government
and independent vote. canon de Valera is not as
sured of the solid support Of the Labor representa-
ton and II seems unlikely that he can be elected
President Of the Executive Council In place OF Cos
grave. Current pledges that a De Valera government
would not commit the country to any fundamental
changes are not enough to offset the Free States
commanding strength.

Ineligible Football Rules

In two important respects the work of the Foot
ball Rules commit for this year cannot fail 70
command the admiration OF followers Of the game.
The committee abstained from tinkering materially
with the scheme Of play and that was good; It edited,
fewrote and rearranged the rules themselves. and that
WAS better. Football regulations are now sufficiently
clear to be ineligible TO the general reader.
Why this was not done long ago has remained a
mystery. The old rules we're frequently vague and
sometimes seemingly contradicted one another. It
became almost necessary to employ an expert to find
out what they really did mean. Thus. the definition
OF offside play was: "A player is put offside If the
ball in play has last been touched by one OF his own
side behind him" But now IL is: "A player is Off
side when any Fart Of his person is ahead OF his
scrimmag line or restraining line when the ball is
put into play" in addition to this kind Of revision,
the new arrangement is one Of greatly improved or
der and conference.
Shift plays came IN for the committees further at
fention. Under the old rules a shift had to come TO
n complete stop for approximately one second before
The ball was put into play. Under the new the ref
free Is instructed to measure the halt, either by the
time It takes him to count to six or by use Of a stop
watch. The idea. Of course, is to make It Increasingly
difficult for one side to obtain unfair momentum.

Thus, II your driver chances 10

with him: that he was one Of
New York's first taxi men and
drove a hack before that; that he
is j. Pierpont Morgan's favorite
taximan and SAYS he's a relative
Of Rudyard Kipling.
Belts has driven gentlemen of the

The newspaper copy attracted the

100000 RefinanCing Plan
to Avoid ReceiverShips.
ny the Associated Press.

~ tue ASSOclateo PTesS.
NEW YORK, February 27.-William
Fox, motion picture maenate, sought
court aid today to prevent his own stock
being voted against the $65 100000 re-
financing plan by which he hopes to
avoid receiverships for the Fox Film
Corporation and the Fox Theater Cor
poration.
Two voting trustees to whom he
signed over the stock under a trust
agreement December last and the
Bankers Trust Co. are under orders to
appear in court today to show cause
why the trustees should not be perma-
nently enjoined from voting the stock
or otherwise disposing of 1t other than
BY returning 1t to Fox. The Bankers
Trust Co. is named in the action be-
cause it is holding the stock in escrow
under the trust agreement.
A temporary injunction was issued by
Supreme Court Justice Nathan Blur
forbidding Harry L. Stuart, president Of
HalSey, Stuart a. CO., and John E.
Otterson, president of Electrical Re-
search Products, Inc, subsidiary of
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Co., expressing voting rights under the
trust agreement.
Stockholders will be asked to vote
March 5 on a reflnancing plan worked
out by Lehman Bros, Dillon, Read q
Co. and Bancamerica- Blair a. Co, who
have agreed to underwrite $65 900, 900
In new securities to avoid a receivership
for which several petitions are now
pending. Under the plan the voting
trust agreement of last December will
be replaced by new voting trustees
named to act during the 10-year period
the agreement is to run.
