The standing statue Of Maj. Gen
John A. RaWlins of Civil War fame,
one of the Oldest in the National Capt.
tal has just been re-erected in the pub
lie park, named in his honor, on the
line of New York avenue, between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets.
1t was placed in that park in 1874, but
at the instance of friends was removed
in May, 1886. to what was then con-
sidered a more prominent position, in
the small reservation, at the southeast
corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Ninth street, in front Of the old Center
Market. There it remained until few
days ago when the work in progress for
the erection of the new Archives Build
ing on the market site caused its return
to Rawlins Park.
Its original site in the center of that
park is now occupied by & large rose
garden and, rather than disturb that,
the statue has been placed in a grove
of fine trees near the Eighteenth street
side of the park, approached by new
paths from all sides Of the park
Gen Rawlins was chief of staff to
Gen. U. S. Grant during the campaign
which ended at AppomattoX, and he
died in this city September 6. 1869,
while serving as Secretary of War.

not be attacked by the bends" on reaching
the open air.
Submarines are now being fitted with buoys,
attached forward and aft which can be sent
to the surface in case of accident These buoys
carry telephone lines and serve the double pur-
pose of marking the submarines position, so
that rescue ships can find it, and of enabling
those on the surface to talk with the men in
the submerged hull
Through all of these devices the Navy is
steadily making more and more remote the
chances for a repetition of the S-4 and Ssh
tragedies.
But scientific rescue devices have not done
the job single handed The heroism Of many
officers and men of the Navy has also been
necessary and it has been displayed in album
dance. Naval annals abound with tales of brav-
cry by men of the submarine and salvage de-
partments, and without this bravery the work
of developing new safety devices could never
have been accomplished.
Many of these tales of heroism have never
reached the general public, and some of them
go back number of years into the past. The
story of Frank Crilley, chief gunner's mate, is
a case in point
Navy Yard when the submarine F-4 sank OF
Honolulu, all her crew being lost.
THE F-4 went down in 800 feet Of water.
None of the Navy divers on the scene
could go down to that depth; in fact, at that
time it was believed that no diver could do It.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-09-06

When any other ship goes down,
that is an end of things. II the water Is shall
low there may be Salvaging operations, but that
is all There Is no rescue work to do, no de-
mand for speedy and efficient emergency meas
ures
But the submarine is different. Her crew
goes to the bottom with her. Usually many
men remain alive for hours and days afterward
To save their lives the Navy has put forth
superhuman efforts on task that Is always
difficult and often heart-breakng.
So the Navy has been working safety
devices for its under-sea fighters. The dis
asters to the S-4, the Ssh and other vessels
have resulted in new appliances which it Is
believed will make the life of a submarine man
far safer than it has ever been before
One of the most important of the new devices
Is the pad eye"-a steel loop embedded in the
hull of the submarine to which cables from
surface ships can speedily be attached that
the sub can be raised to the surface speedily.
Six of these are installed on each side of a sub
and each is able to withstand a direct pull Of
160 tons
When the Ssh sank divers spent weary weeks
at the risk of their discriminating under
the sunken ship that chains might be passed
around its hull to lift 1t to the surface. If the
Ssh had had pad eyes the chains could have
been attached in a mere fraction of that time.
Another new device is species of diving
bell, carried on salvage vessels. This bell, large
enough to accommodate ten or more men inside,
is lowered to the deck of sunken submarine,
carrying rescue workers down with it.
When it reaches the sub it is fitted over a
special escape hatch and when the fitting has
been made water-tight the hatch is opened and
sailors on the sunken vessel can enter the bell
and be hauled to the surface. Injured men or
men overcome by gas or foul air could be brought
to the surface by this device.
EQUALLY important is the Momsen lung by
l. which men escape from a sunken sub
marine at time. The lung is bag con-
tanning oxygen, with flexible tube ending in
an attachment which fits snugy over the mouth
and nostrils of the seaman who uses it.
Attaching of these lungs. the sailor on
q sunken sub enters an escape hatch, closes
the compartment behind him and opens a hatch
which permits him to slip out into the water
and rise to the surface. A buoy can be sent
up first, connected to the sub by long line,
and the escaping sailor simply follows this line
up, stopping periodically to adjust his body to
the diminishing water pressure that he will

'MANSLAUCHTER' TO SHOW LAST TIMES TONIGHT.
Captain Applejjack" Will Be Attraction Tomor-
 row at Coliseum

'Manslaughter," which has Clau- dette Colbert and Frederic Marsh in the principal roles, will be pre- sented for the last times tonight at the Coliseum theatre. Captain Applejack," featuring John Halli- day and Mary Brian, will top the new program tomorrow night.
 "In the filming of Manslaugh- ter Miss Colbert was soaked to the skin when a fire hose was turned on her. The fire hose was used to dampen the spirits of a group of feminine prison rioters of whom Miss Colbert was one.
 Longs for Adventure
 In Captain Applejack," Am- prose Applejohn in his castle by the Cornish coast, mollycoddled by a spinster aunt, and tantalized by a charming American ward-longs to prove himself a man of action and is advised by his lawyer to sell the ancestral home and set out in quest of adventure.
 This he has decided to do, when a gang of crooks, overrun the place and menace his life, limb and prop erty They reveal a paper, appar- ently yellow with age, which shows him to be the lineal descendant of Captain Applejack,' king of the pirates. Thrilled with the thought. he dreams, and while he dreams he is-not meek Ambrose Apple john, but fierce Captain Apple jack, scourge of the Seven Seas.
 Unexpected Things Happen
 Many unexpected things happen after the dream, which is but se- quence of the picture, but real treasure is found, and other wish ed for things are attained All of which has truth in it, since the things we wish to have persistent ly enough, we usually get. No moral or lesson is pointed, how ever, in this uproarious medley of thrills and romance.
 Besides Halliday and Miss Brian the cast includes Kay Strozzi, Lou ise Closer Hale, Alec B. Francis, Claude Allister Julia Swayne Cor don, Arthur Edmund Carew Otto Hoffman and William Davidson
