Scientist PIans
By CHARLES NORMAN
AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 27-One mile down to the unknown floor of the sea is the goal set by Otis Barton. designer of the bathysphere, for a new submarine apparatus he is building.
 It will be on wheels and is called "diphrobenth," Greek for chariot of the bottom" It is now in the blue print stage at the Watson-Stillman Hydraulic Company plant, Roselle, N. J., builders of the bathysphere. In the earlier diving chamber MT. Barton and Dr. William Beebe des- cended half mile in the ocean off Bermuda, the worlds record dive.
 ''The diphrobenth," MT Barton says, "is being built to explore the ocean bottom to depth of over a mile-not to observe life in the mid-depth of the ocean far above the bottom as was the bathysphere. On the bottom there is more un- known marine life than in mid depth. It is the worlds greatest mystery"
 To Have Camera
 To probe this mystery the diphro- benth will travel on three wheels over the bottom ooZe and coral bumps, lowed by steel cable. From one of it's two fused quartz eyes will project a powerful shaft of light.
 At the other will be a camera lens for a motion picture record. The chariot's eyes are set back to pre- vent the windows from shattering in collision with a wreck or coral reef.
 By removing the camera and dim ming the 2,000 watt bulb of the scarchlight one or two observers will be able to descend in the diphro- benth's cramped quarters. The light would have to be dimmed because at full voltage it's heat would be un- bearable. There is also the danger that the heat may crack one of the quartz windows.
 6,OOO-F0ot Cable
 The ocean off Bermuda again will be the setting for this new and more spectacular venture in probing the mysteries of the deep. Dr. Beebe's heavy reel winch and other equipment used in the bathy- sphere dives are in storage there, and at St. Georges there is an ex- perienced crew, veterans of the Beebe-B Barton expeditions. In ad- dition, MT. Barton explains, it is possible to reach deep water off Bermuda by going out not more than 10 miles.
 Like it's predecessor, the new device will be lowered from a barge lowed seaward by tug. A 6,000-foot spliced cable of 3s-inch and F inch steel will lower and pull the chariot on the oceans floor. An electric cable will control camera and light
 Asked what dangers he might face if he removed the camera from the diphrobenth and des- cended as an observer in the

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 No Savvy

U. s. employees compensation com- mission in Washington does not au- thorize and will not pay for injec- tion treatment of hernia. (H.O.S., M.D)
 Answer-They're bit out of step. Injection treatment of hernia is rec ognized and paid for by state in- dustrial commissions in Alabama. Arizona, California, Colorado, Con- necticut Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, New York. Nebraska, New Hamp- shire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Wy oming and Wisconsin, and probably several other states by this time. The Minnesota commission states that injection treatment is employed in nearly 90 per cent of all industrial hernias in Minnesota.
 No Adhesions
 Seven months ago had ab opera ton, and since have had much trou- ble from adhesions. Now another operation. (M)
 Answer-Doctor who knows what the nature of the trouble was and what was done can advise you in- telligently. No one can advise what to do about "adhesions."
 Husband has had injection treat ment of hernia as recommended by you, and 1t has apparently cured him, but he still wears the truss un- der the order of the doctor who treated him. Would it be safe for him to leave off the truss so he can undergo a physical examination for position he is anxious to obtain? He fears he will be rejected if he reports for examination wearing a truss. (MrS. A.S.)
 Answer-Only his physician can advise him whether he may safely go without truss now. Generally 1t is wise to wear truss Tor several months after the injection treat ment has been given, to give plenty of time for the flbrous pad produced about the hern1al opening by the treatments, to become well organized and preclude giving way and recur- renee of the hernia.
 IOdin
 Would two drops of iodin each day harm any one that really needs it, instead of one drop a day for 2 month in each of the four seasol;s of the years? (Mrs. J. c. B.)

Man in the 5 and 10 cent store business writes about doctors fees. Evidently he has written me be- fore, for he encloses a letter I sent in reply to his previous letter. In my letter l said:
 If 1t is question of pay, the young man who decides to enter the profession of medicine must relinquish any notion of attaining wealth. Indeed he must be content if he can make a living. Thousands of doctors right now, good men, too, are actually in want and with out even the prospect of retirement when they grow too old to prac- tice-they'll become objects of charity. Through the depression years the doctors have taken it on the chin without whimper. People have let the doctor wait (since he makes so much money so eaSily) and still they have received his services when he knew they could no longer pay anything.
 Now this second letter from the 5 and 10 cent store man reveals the nature of his business. And he has something interesting to say:
 The business I am in is obviously one in which people get a lot for their money. ...
 Brethren, if we had half the as- surance this man has!
 -. when depression appears, down go our prices and first thing you know we are on the profit side again.
 A doctor charges & certain price for his service whether it's de- pression, boom, a bear or a bull market. People can pay only what they can afford, and if the doctor charged a cash price as we do he wouldn't have so many headaches trying to collect.
 Probably some of the doctors who will eventually become charges should take a course in 5 and 10 merchandising. 4 dime in the hand is worth two in the books. You have a good deal of influence with the doctors, l believe, and you might persuade them to adjust their prices to the state of the pa- tientS' pocketbook.

WOMAN'S REALM
Glonfying Yourself

NEA SerVice Sta1t Wf1Cef Having decided that she's not go- ing to worry about the fact that her hands are rather large or fret about any other feature that doesn't please
 her but which she can't possibly change, the smart girl concentrates on learning to dramatize her best points. And she sticks to a plan for eliminating defects which are cur- able.
 If she has had rather unattractive skin for more years than she cares to remember, she decides to find out exactly what is at the root of her troubles. She goes to her family doc- tor and has thorough physical ex- animation. She discusses her health habits with him. He may find that something Is organically wrong. Or decide that her diet should be changed. Or that she needs more ex- ercise or more sleep.
 When the doctor has told her what she must do, she does it. She isn't silly enough to ignore his advice or to think that any cream or any lotion will cure permanently 8 skin ailment that is due to improper diet. constipation Ca prevalent cause of blemishes), or something like that.
 One who is overweight ought to lose the extra pounds or else stop talking about her weight. There is, of course, no simple, extremely pleasant way to getD rid of several pounds, but it can be done. And your doctor will agree that the safe and sane way is through exercise and diet. Not 8 starvation diet, but one which allows you to eat plenty of food which is low in caloric con- tent. If you can afford massage treatments, well and good. If not, be consoled by the fact that you can reduce without massage.
 And hair? Now any girl can have shiny, healthy looking tresses. That is, If she is willing to brush her hair each and every night (no alibis &C., cepted), use a tonic to cure oilness or dandruff or whatever scalp defect she has and have a shampoo at least once a week. In addition, of course, she ought to drink plenty of orange juice and eat quantities of crisp green salads, fresh vegetables and other vitamin-rich foods.
