ESCAPE DEVICE
! GETS TESTS

Tests are under way in the
open sea off New London, Conn,
today on a new type of subma-
rine rescue bell which received
some preliminary tests at the
Navy Yard in New York last
week.
In the tests, the pear-shaped,
buoyant steel chamber, weighing
16,670 pounds, is lowered by
cable, empty at first, to depth
of 900 feet. It is designed to
withstand pressure of 400 feet,
and this margin of safety is
sought before men are put to
work in it.
The shell is 9 feet 3 inches
nigh with a diameter of Z feet 9
Anches at the upper end and 5
feet at the lower end, the bottom
being made to fit the escape
hatch ofa submarine. A vacuum
inside the shell keeps it held
|, fast to the submarine opening,
permitting escape of the trapped
crew. The bell will hold 18
Wescued men in addition to
crew Of two.
The new bell was developed in
the Bureau of Construction and
Repair under the supervision of
Lieut.. Comdr. Allen r. McCann.
Gf this weeks tests are approved,
the Navy's rescue vessels at New
> London, Conn; Coco Solo,
Panama Canal Zone; San Diego,
Calf: Pearl Harbor, T. H.; and
Cavite. P. l., will be equipped
with the bells.

evident enjoyment, declared:
"ThiS is the first we have
eaten of any good food since
we left Moscow. We ate only .
few mOuthfuIs of black bread
each day and drank a cup Of
tea since we left that city.
This fried chicken is fine.

Nome Disappointed
Gatty joined his companion in
complimenting the food, both
men speaking of the privations
they had gone through.
Their landing at Solomon gave
Nome its second great disappoint-
ment in the past five years.
In 1925 the citizens of Nome
were all set to welcome the
Amundsen dirigible Norge upon

dition, but the dirigible landed

stop at Cleveland, o.
The worst portion of the hop
today will be 800 miles of bad
mountain flying from the in
ternational boundary line to Fort
Nelson, 3. C. This area is prac-
tically uninhabited and without
communication facilities. No re-
port was obtainable on weather
conditions in that section.
However, the fliers will have
the advantage of encountering
this part of their trip when they
are comparatively fresh and at a
time of day when conditions are
most favorable.
From Fort Nelson to Edmonton,
excellent flying conditions will
obtain.
Post Grows GrOggy
Post did not eat anything after
dressing this morning but tried to
drink some coffee. He said he
felt groggy.
Gatty was wide awake but said
that three hours of sleep had
been "too much," adding:
II felt better after one hours
sleep, as we have been getting
the past week."
He ate toast and coffee and
kidded with visitors to his room.
The fliers carried lunch with
them.
Weather reports from Canada
were not favorable but the fliers
said they were not worried so long
as they had plenty of gasoline.
Arriving here at 9:25 p. IN, 10

today, Washington time) from
Solomon, Alaska, SO miles from
Nome, they had completed their
perilous passage of the Bering
Sea in their 2,100-mile flight from
Khabarovsk, Siberia.
Eight minutes later they were
whisked from the flying field to
a hotel, where food and hot baths
awaited them. BY 10:40 p. m.
(4:40 a. m. today, washington
time) they we're in bed, leaving a
call for 2:30 a. M, local time

The fliers were assured of good
flying conditions for 800 miles up
the Tanana River.
They also were assured Of day.

tinuous daylight in this region,
only 100 miles south of the Arctic
Circle.
Sweeping in from the Bering
Sea at 2:45 p. M, local time, yes
terday afternoon (8:45 p. m. Mon
day, Washington time), the filters
passed Nome, Alaska, without
sighting that city and landed at
the trading village of Solomon,
36 miles southeast of Nome.
The successful completion Of
the dangerous sea passage from
Siberia to the North American
continent was unknown in Nome
for nearly two hours after the
fliers had safely landed at Solo
mon, a large crowd meanwhile
waiting patiently at the Nome
flying field for their arrival. A
fleet of airplanes was also in
readiness to take the air to vel
come them to Nome.
Tighten Fuel Load
The landing field at Solomon
was in poor condition and the
fIiers realized they would be un-
able to take off with a full load
Of gasoline, such as would have
been required for their planned
1,9OO-miIe hop to Edmonton,
Canada. They decided then to
make . shorter hop to Fairbanks
and took off at $3.50 p. M, local
time (11:SO p. M, Washington
time).
Near disaster was twice mar
rowly averted in the take-off.
Gatty was struck over the heart
and arm by the propeller of the
trim little monoplane Winnie

"NO bones broken"
The plane nosed over as Post
attempted to take off and only
most skillful handling prevented
it being wrecked. It's propeller

the conquerors of time and space.
Post hoped out of the plane

Dog-tired from their long water
hop, Post and Gatty luxuriated
a few minutes in their hot bath

and then tumbled into bed for
the meager four hours Of sleep
they permitted themselves.
The fliers have been in the
air with but few rest periods
since Tuesday, June %, when
they left Roosevelt field, New
York.
The fliers alighted at Solomon
after a 2,3O0-mile journey across
q treacherous bit of ocean, the
last they had to cross-Okhotsk
Sea, Kamchatka Peninsula and
Bering Sea-at PAS p. m. Mon

BY crossing the international

same day, or 2 hours and Is min
utes before they left KharbarOvsk.
The last ocean hop was under
taken in the face of adverse wea-
ther conditions but the intrepid
airmen took a chance when they
saw their hopes of a Today flight

New York Last Leg
From Edmondson to New York,

 FASTENED AGAIN
 TO AID GERMANY
Concerted Effort to Save That Country and the Whole World From Economic Chaos

Basic, Switzerland, Aug 19- (UP)-The bankers of the world again went to Germanys aid to- day in a concerted effort to save that nation-and the world-from
 economic chaos.
 A broad hint that Germany's
 reparations payments should be
 revised before she could regain
 financial stability was contained ir the report of the international
 bank investigation committed
 headed by Albert H. Wiggin' oi
 New York.
 Simultaneously, a committee o1 financial experts representing Ger many's creditor banks, signed a re- port recommending a six months extension of short term credits to
 Germany totaling about $1,1S7,' | 500,000. The credits were extend. ed six months from yesterday. Germany considered the credi, extension as absolutely essential
 to tide her over the present crisis

 Paris, Aug 19-UP)-The Mos COW miss never has to worry about what to do with her afternoons.
 An afternoon at the theater is out of the question, for there are neither matinees nor matinee idols. A hunt from one end of Moscow to the other would reveal no dancing place at tea time.
 Five hours of chauffeuring on a steam roller, conducting clang- ing street car, or laying another block of paving stones may be her afternoons amusement, for the emancipation of the Russian wo- man has been completed. Now, 1t appears. she is going to start do- ing all or much of the work.
 Next to the amount of work be- ing done by women, the most sur, prising thing to 8 foreigner is the type of work in which Russian maid indulges. Buxom peasant women, to whom work on the farms of their native Caucasus IS drudgery, actually enjoy welding a pick and shovel on some great construction enterprise or railroad. Ten hours. barefooted track walk ing under a broiling sun is accom- plished with all the enthusiasm you might expect to find in group of picnickers.
 Any kind of work in which ma chinery plays part seems partic- ularly to attract the young women out to help prove that two plus two can equal five. In Moscow where the reconstruction of the streets is being carried on with (for Russia) amazing speed. the greater part of the operators of the American steam rollers are young women. These young anna zons handle their machines with all the skill and enthusiasm of a man at the helm of a racing yacht. The more maneuvering the proud. CT they are.
 A young Russian woman would be in Paradise-a red paradise if a concrete mixer were entrusted to her.
 When 1t comes to the traffic situation in Russia, the women are the only chauffelrs who seem to realize that it is possible to drive a car under 60 miles an hour. Un- like the men, they have discovered that most cars are equipped with

brakes for a definite purpose. Merely driving a car is not enough, for the women who have gone in for mechanics are capable of ap- plying their knowledge.
 Most of the really effective look ing police are women whose mus cular equipment suits them admir- ably for any Russian variety of the "third degree" that may. be- come necessary. They still retain one feminine touch however; they still wear skirts. A look at some of the buxom cops sets you won dering what police brutality might be like in theland of Lenin.
 In the rush of construction and repair work being done all over Moscow, many women bricklayers and carpenters may be seen hard at work. Very probably the time will come when women, will be tossing red hot rivets from one Russian steel girder to another. There Is something very business like in the attitude of a female Muscovite construction foreman which suggests that work is, after all, about the best thing that can be done during working hours. Not all Russian women have turned to manual labor as a means of displaying their talents. Many have entered professions such as medicine where they are treated on equal terms with their male fellow workers. Dentistry has proved a popular field for the wo- men. and many Muscovite molar has stopped throbbing and aching thanks to some young woman's skill. :.
 An unusually large number of women are employed in the banks and offices in work which would appear to be a mans job. In such work also the women seem to have more initiative and determination than the average male worker. They seem to realize that, in the exes of the rest of the world at least, they are on trial and they are bound to prove that there are few things for which they are not suited.
 The Russian theater has also at- tracted a large number of women: They may be found working in all the various phases of theatrical production.
 No matter whether a woman is working with her brains or her hands, she feels in Russia that she is playing a real part in a great enterprise which depends for suc- cess on the cooperation of thou sands of people like herself. Feel ing thus about the situation 1t is easy for women workers to keep up their interest and enthusiasm naturally.
