is about one foot under water to allow the instructor to see whether the lung is being used properly. If so, he Is sent in a diving bell with an instructor to the 12-foot level.
 The pupil must escape from the bell and climb up a line which is secured to 8 buoy at the surface. Half way up the line he must stop and take 30 breaths before ascend ing further to avoid "the bends"
 This disease results from too rapid decrease in pressure. Nitro gen bubbles form In the blood and, if they reach the heart or brain, may cause paralysis or death. Next Stage at IS Feet
 The pupil must complete success fully two ascents from the 12-foot level before he IS taken to the next stage the 18-foot lock.
 An attempt is made to duplicate conditions aboard 8 trapped sub- marine. The lock is flooded in or der to equalize outside pressure so that the hatch may be opened. A line with a buoy attached is then sent to the surface and the navy man begins his slow climb, breath ing regularly as he climbs and stopping at the halfway mark for 10 breaths. He is warned not to go up faster than 50 feet second.
 From the 50-foot stage the pupil is required to stop at points 20 and 10 feet from the surface, taking 10 breaths at each stop for decom- precision.
 Finally Down 100 Feet
 The last stage is the 100-foot level at the bottom of the tank. Here the lock is constructed ex- actly along lines of 8 submarine compartment. Before the compart- ment is flooded and the buoy sent up, the men are inspected by an officer to make sure the lung is in good order. Stops are made at five points on the line. The men are required to take 10 breaths at each point.
 In cases where the pupils are un- able to complete successfully the tests they are transferred to some other division of the navy.
 In many cases, diver who has ascended too rapidly may not feel any i'll effects until several hours later. A person suffering with the "bends" gives the appearance of being drunk, staggering about and then finally collapsing.
 For this reason, men engaged in divingk are equipped with tags di- recting that they be rushed to 8 certain hospital if found in an ap- parently intoxicated condition.
