U. s. Submarine Unable to Rise
 Down 24O Feet

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., May B (Pl - The U. s. s u b m r i n e Squalus with a crew of 5l men is trapped" in240 feet of water about five miles off the marrow coast of New Hampshire, when the ship went into a deep sea dive without closing one of her vital sea valves.
 Approximately five hours af- ter the accident, high authorities in a navy yard expressed the op inion that the majority of the men aboard are safe, so far, and with good luck, all will be saved.
 Navy officers said the Squalus is a new craft equipped with all the latest safety devices and should be able to hold out7 ap- proximately 24 hours.
 Only part of the ship is flood ed, the crews quarters in the after part of the ship and the aft part of the engine room.
 Two rescue ships were rushed to the scene and navy yard auth critics said their line of attack would be to try to send a diver down from a surface ship to close the induction valve which was left open. If this could be done, they said the ship might be raised.
 Two Navy boats and two Coast Guard ships were immediately sent to the scene which is off of White Island, about five miles southeast of the Isles of Shoals.
 The office commandant of the navy yard said q think they have a pretty good chance. We don't know just how much water got in, but the ship is capable of being shut off in 4 or 5 wat er-tight compartments. It is pos sible with the oxygen tanks on board for them to keep going for a week"

Blue Peter Wins l55th Running

EPSOM DOWNS, (P) - Blue Peter won the 155th running of the derby, Fox Cub was second and Heli9pois was third.
 Carrying the silks of Lord Roseverry, Blue Peter, came from behind and beat 26 other three-year-olds and paid seven to two. He covered the distance in two minutes 36 and four-fifths seconds, well behind the record of two minutes 32 and three-fifth seconds, made when the race was run at Newmarket during the war.
 Heavy betting on the winner is said to have cost the bookmak CTS close to five million.

Queen Mary Of
 England in Auto When Overturned

LONDON, May 23 (A1 Queen Mother Mary apparently escaped serious injury when her motor car overturned in an accident with truck in a London suburb.
 The Queen, mother of King George VI, is authoritatively re- ported to have been bruised and badly shaken" but is otherwise unhurt
 After brief time in doctor 5 house she was driven from Put ney, a West London suburb, where the accident occurred, to Marlborough House, her resi- dence.
 The accident occurred as the Queen was returning from the Royal Hsrticultural Society $ Garden in Surrey.
 A crowd gathered outside the doctors house and cheered in re lief as the Queen emerged and acknowledged their cheers. She was not bandaged nor visibly il- jured.
 In Canada arrangements were made to inform the King and Queen when their train reached Jaclfsh, Ontario at 10 am. PSF.
 In the car with the Queen were Lady Constance Milnes Gaskerl and Lord Claude Hamilton. The Lady suffered bruised arm and the Lord cut his hand. Oscar Humphry, the chauffer is report ed suffering from shock.

Queen Narrowly Escapes Injury in Auto Accident
"A Men Rescued Through Use Of Diving Bell

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., May "A (H'l Seven men entombed for more than 29 hours in the crip- pied submarine Squalus were pull ed to safety when the rescue chamber was raised through 240 feet of water. Immediately pre- parations were made for another descent in an effort to save as many as possible of the other fifty two men still trapped below. One of the seven saved was an officer, It. J. s. Nichols of Chic ago. Another was a civilian, an employe of the navy department. The ether five were enlisted men. All appeared in far condition after their narrowing experience.
 A great cheer arose from the crew of the rescue ship Falcon, as the dripping rescue bell arose from the sea and landed gently on the deck of the surface yes sel.
 All seven men were able to step from the bell without help and walked about the deck, draw ing their first free air since the Squalus was trapped on the ocean floor by an open induction valve during dive.
 At $40 am. another six men were saved as follows:
 Rolund Blanchard, fireman of HarShey, Mich.
 Harold Prebble, a civilian em- ployed by the navy department, of Washington, D. C,
 William Isaac, a cook of Wash ington, D. C.
 Theodore Jacobs, signalman of Staten Island, New York.
 Gerald McLees, electricians mate of Richmond, Kansas.
 Charles Yuhas, machinist's mate of New Salem, Pa.
 Even as the bell went down the second time, naval officers figured the toll of dead aboard the sub would range between 30 and 36 men. One high officer said authorities were sure only that 23 of the original 59 were definitely alive and accounted for.
 The first actual rescue in his tory from such depth as 240 feet was accomplished in almost record speed of less than five hours after a diver first touch ed the sunken craft.
 Naval officers said the reason for bringing up an officer in the first load was in contradiction of the old rule that sea officers saw ed themselves after all enlisted men were safe, so he could help direct those still left aboard the ship.
 Soon after the bell was lower ed, divers started going down two at time from the deck of the Falcon. Those who watched the lifelines said it took about 2 minutes for the descent.

Nine Others Known Alive

PORTSMOUTH, May "A (P) - Later-Fifteen men were prot up and seventeen more were known to be alive as the bell made it's second trip.
 As the bell made it's third trip the total of men brought out of the submarine reached 24 and g others were known to be alive.

Watch handspring Should
Be Given Its Daily Wind

! How often you hear someone say:
Il can't wear watch, l have too
much electricity in my body"l
Electricity does exist in human
beings, but only one in a million has
sufficient to affect watch, asserts
a writer in London Answers Maya
zine. And though most of the
trouble experienced with watches
can be traced to their owners, it's
not because of their physical make
up.
! insufficient winding is the cause
OF many missed appointments. The
handspring should be fully wound
once day, preferably in the morn
ing. The risk of overwinding with
the consequent breaking Of spring
is not so great as is frequently sup
posed
A watch is a delicate piece of
machinery, and it must be treated
as such to obtain the best results.
Any machine needs careful running
and periodical attention. One little
wheel makes $4,000 swings every
hour. This amounts to well over
$50, 900, 900 in a year. Many people
expect the wheel to keep doing this
year in, year out.
No wonder that occasionally a
watch becomes fussy and then de-
cides to stop. Without so much as
a spot of oil, the wheels have been
forced round by repeated winding
of the handspring. until finally the
little heartbeats get slower and
slower.
Worn out" the matchmaker win
say, and although the owner re-
ceives the verdict with perhaps a
little suspicion, it is true.
Hairsprings become misplaced.
spindles bent, screws loosened. Not
always sufficient to stop the works,
but enough to cause temporary fail
vres.
So do not blame your constitution
If you are unable to carry the right
time. Blame your habits, for they
are fundamentally the cause Of
your mechanical servants bad
temper.

A Soliloquy

AS l sit in the late afternoon in
my rocking chair, peering through
the front room window across the
expansive waste of desert at the
mountains silhouetted against the
beautiful sunset sky, I wonder if
there is another sight, so rare,
beautiful. and peaceful, as thS
one that meets my gaze. A feeling
of sorrow comes over ME because
in my meditation | can not help
but visualize the squalid conditions
existing in the crowded cities where
thousands of poor souls are forced
to exist and would give anything
in their power just to see what l
am privileged to see without NOV
ing one single step. How lucky
am: How thankful | should be for
having such unsurpassed beauty
so close at hand. But life's cares
and worries steal in and rob me
of my precious hours, the same as
the darkness is now stealing in
and robbing me of the beautiful
scene that affords me such tran
quality. The reverie is gone-I am
brought back into the world of
reality by the familiar call Of
Supper is ready but l know that
l will see again tomorrow what
have seen today, and again after
that, until it becomes a longing. a
longing that will never be satisfied
if it is ever taken away.

Early Tableware of Wood
Included Food Trenchers

Trencher. the earliest form Of a
plate, is derived from the word
"tranche" and was formerly the
name for a platter. In England, it
was at first square, like the piece
Of bread it replaced on which the
piece of meat was served. but later
it became oblong in shape. From
single trencher, two persons-a
man and wife or two children-ate
their meals.
We find wooden trenchers gen
orally in use until well after l700,
and this was true both iR New Eng
land and Old England, writes Alice
R. Rollins in the Los Angeles Times.
frenchers were considered valuable
enough to leave by will. as many
of the old inventories show. Until
almost our time they were made in
Vermont of the white, clean hard
wood of the poplar tree and were
sold and used in country homes.
In the Miles Standish will, IL good
trenchers are named. And wooden
noggins or low bowls are often men
toned in the early inventories as be-
ing OF enough value to bequeath.
Governor Bradford found the Indi-
ans making wooden bowls, plates
and dishes, and spoons made from
shells set into a split stick. They
also made bowls from the~bur of
various trees.
For those who like to look into
the history Of early days in Ameri-
ca. this old Woodenware has an ap-
peal and interest. The simplicity Of
living, the independence and initia
tive expressed was all a part of
the everyday life Of the time That
this appeal is evident in our own
day is seen in the vogue for repro
ductions of various articles made of
wood which we use on our tables.

An Under-Ice Volcano

Vatnajokull is Iceland's under-ice
volcano. Even when quiet it is no
ordinary volcano. 1t doesn't even
look like one, asserts a writer in the
Washinton Post, and is buried COM
pletely under a glacier. Scientists
like that, however. 1t gives them
chance to use the crater as a giant
calorimeter, an instrument for
measuring heat. The hotter Vat
najokull gets, the more ice around
it melts. Count the cubic miles of
melting glacier and you have an
excellent index for studying this
safety valve Of the earth. Most
dangerous thing about the crater is
the gas it sends out. This is flu
orine, perhaps the nastiest Of all
chemicals. AS an acid, it'll eat
through practically anything, in.
cluding glass. 1t has to be kept in
bottles made of wax! Chemical pal
of fuorine is hydrogen, and when
mixed with water, it'll decompose
the H2O, so it can get to the hydro
gen and explode!

Definition of an Annuity

A common definition for an annu-
ity is "a periodic payment to con-
tinue during a given status" This
status usually is the duration of
single life Annuities are not in
surance, but insurance provisions
often are included. The person who
receives the income from an annu-
ity is known as the annuitant. II
an annuity is bought on two or
more lives, the contract usually is
a Joint and survivor" annuity.
This means that income from the
annuity continues as long as any of
the persons covered by the contract
survive, although the amount of the
payment often decreases at the
death of one. A 'joint" annuity,
strictly speaking, is an annuity that
ceases on the first death among the
lives involved.

LINDBERGH

Quite bit has been said recently
about the dying popularity of
Charles A. Lindbergh. A lot Of
folk didn't like it because he left
the United States and went to
Europe in ordr to be able to live
the peaceful life that any citizen
IS entitled to They said he had
forsaken his own country. They
forgot to say anything about his
own country having forsaken him.
The whole blame is to be placed
on the empty headed curiosity OF
the American people. Lindbergh
wanted to be left alone, wanted to
live here in peace without being
bounded day and ght by news
reporters, photographers and the
curious. He not only wanted to but
he requested it time and again. But
these logged his every move. He
is not to be blamed for going where
he could have peace. The shame is
not on him but on ourselves that
we cannot live and let live.

ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY

Like a long and heavi1y-loaded
train, Congress is struggling TO get
underway. 1t cannot start at top
speed, but must build up from d
pace that is even slower than a
walk. The cargo is different, per-
haps, but it is not much different
Some of it is valuable and may be
carried a long way. Some is just
trash which viii be dumped out
along the way, probably to be
loaded onto the next train, and the
next. Congress has lots in common
with train-even to the noise and
smoke.
To most observers it appears
that the 10th Congress is to be
troubled with an unusual amount
of quibbling. Each faction fears
it is not getting its share of the
spoils, whatever they happen to be.
There is group which claims
allegiance to the Democratic Party,
but is unrelenting in its TRADES
against everything New Deal. The
bloc is not large enough to foster
any particular legislation of its
own, but it can and does stall the
old train many times along the
way. These costly delays MAJ be
considered necessary safety stops
but more often they are the re-
suit of personal grudge.
What a powerful thing a grudge
can be. These Democratic Dis
senators who never let up in their
railing might feel rather lonesome

No New Development
In Water Dispute

Il is understood that no further
developments have taken place in
the dispute between the State of
New Mexico and the Federal Water
Commissioner since gates above
Duncan were opened under orders
Of the New Mexico Governor on
January 4.
Officials Of the San Carlos Pro-
iect and of the San Carlos Irriga-
tiOn and Drainage District were
making a study of the affair for
the purpose of ascertaining how it
affects the Project, both in legal a
way and in regard to the quantity
of water involved. No definite
advice has been received from
either agencies as to what steps
might be taken by them or by the
State Of Arizona.
Commissioner Firth has con
strued that the irrigation headings
and the lands served from them
are all subject to the Gi,a Decree
and consequently has administered
the waters serving these bitches
as called for by the Decree.
1t appears that the Interstate
Streams Commission of New Mexi-
20 holds that neither that State nor
any of its property owners are
bound by the terms of the Decree.
