that he had.
But never bigger ship" he
qualified. Looking at 1t that way,
it's the biggest problem ever han
died. But" he said, calmly, 1T will
be handled"
Maritime annals contain instances
Of many salvage problems more
complex and demanding application
of power much greater than are Inv
dicated in the present operation.
Indeed, power will not be exerted at
all. That sullen mass of water

83423 tons gross. 1000 feet long
would defy any power that could be
applied in this circumscribed area.
No, finesse is the word.
Will Right Itself in Time.
All removable parts will be gutted
out of her, she will be sealed and
then pumped out. Thus, at the
proper time, the good ship will hunch
herself over to even keel and be
herself again. 1t sounds easy. But
it is very delicate operation and
will require at least year.
Viewed from platform amidships,
looking down, you see an immense
expanse of hull black down to the
cardboard strake-the waterline-

6 feet wide, and then the silver

compared to the bottoms of the
vessels of an older day.
Above water, the tunnels have
been removed, and the upper decks,

aft amidShips. have been sheared
cleanly down to the promenade deck.
It is as though the vessel had been
shaved. Not stanchion, not bitt,
nothing remains on the promenade.
But below the water all the decks
remain. They must be shaved off,
too, and lot of that will have to be
done by steel-Working divers. 1t is
this aspect of preparation which
Ship Always a Fire Hazard.
Meanwhile, as work proceeds, Bat
talon Chief John J. Kelley and "a
firemen in red bakelite hats patrol
the vessel constantly. A trained
fire-fghter such as Keeley would
have no need to know Of the orig
inal blaze which did the great ves-

guests thought with horror of what

On floats in the opposite slip the
Navy is meeting the problem caused
by a woeful insufflciency of divers to

Once again, so promise John

his work of righting and restoring
the Lafayette, the salt wind will
sing or whine-in accordance with
its mood-through rigging and gear
and once more that stricken hull
will pulse and throb under the
mighty power of its engines.
This writer, one of party at
tending Lafayette at-hOme
vouchsafed by the Navy Depart
ment. could but believe in the con-
fident assertions of this pair of
technicians. But. perched precari-
ously upon the sheared rim of that
foundered mass of steel. faith was
required for belief. 1t was difficult
to believe it will not remain, until
broken up, what it now is-an awe
some symbol of the nation whose
tri-color ensign once snapped so
proudly over it's taffrail.
An Object of PathOs Now.
Lying diagonally across the broad
slip between piers 88 and 80 in the
North River, this once majestic
liner is now nothing but an object
as gigantic in its suggestions Of
pathoS as in its huge bulk. This
impression is heightened as you
enter the huge shed-after pains
taking examination of credentials
by petty officers and frisking of
garments by able seamen-by a
mammoth -colored poster depicting
what was once the Normandie
breasting the Atlantic. brilliant with
flags and brave in its power.
The problem of restoring her to
what she used to be has turned out
to be a salvage problem not as
insoluble as had been feared.
You find no spirit of defeat among
the 488 marine scientists, steel
workers, welders, shorers and others
working in two shifts in and out
side the Lafayette. Certainly you
find none in John Tooker. Tooker
was in his shirt sleeves, bare headed,
a big man with rough-hewh face
strongly lined and bronzed. Chief
salvage officer of the Merritt, Chap
man e. Scott Corp, company now
part of the Navy Department, Mr.
Tooker in the course of 80 years
has salvaged hundred ships. He
has raised them from the ocean
depths, has retrieved them from
Crag and beach and shoal.
AS he leaned against the catWalk
rail, his steel gray eyes traversed
a great steel fabric suggesting
nothing so much as a great dead
whale washed in by the waves and
stranded upon a beach. Just be-
yond the submerged bow, the
life of the Metropolis roared at
workaday tempo.

plenty of good food and good wine,
and plenty of love.
''Tony and I love each other. We
are happy together. My father prob
ably would want to kill him il. he
knew this, and / know my mother
would be crushed.
eff we married I would take what
money have and invest it in ga
rage, which Tony has long wanted
to buy. We could 60 along for
few years comfortably on what was
left, until he began to make money.
We both want children, for all the
Benitos love them, and I could new
er be happy without them.

to let him 60, join my mother and
become a nurse to my little half
brother, whom would come to
adore, I know, or make this mar
riage? Please help me-"
Parents Want Her Now.
Now, you parents who submit low
ing sensitive small girls to the mis-
cries of your own marital failures
and the wretchedness of partings
and changes among those who seem
to them faultless, what do you think
of the father and mother who showed
Linda about without any considera-
ton for her loving little heart, her
child's love of stability and security,
and her child's confidence in her own
family?
Now that she is no longer re-
sponsibility and bother they want
her. Now that she is an heiress both
father and mother could use her
money. And now she has sought
companionship and love in strange
places and is likely to 60 out Of
their lives forever.
My advice to her is to marry
Tony. She will be many times en-
barrassed by his limitations; she
may have to apologize for him and
for her family.
But she will have love; a real
mother and real sisters and broth
ers, amusement, distraction. COM
panionship, and probably alteration
from her husband. She will have
children; good strong children born
Of peasant stock, and she win build
q home around them, and have the
picnics and trips and birthdays and
mothering that her own childhood
was denied.

FOR PARENTS ONLY

Kathleen Norris advice, this
time, is for the parents instead
Of their erring and maynard chill

apparently blameIess child has
been denied the IoUe and secur-
ity she needs by the selfshness
of her parents. UnsVanted ,Uhen

claimed by both parents for the
sake OF the money she inherited
from her grandmother. But she
is in love ,Uith her fathers ctaut-
feur and wants to marry him.
and, surprising as it may be to
some, Kathleen Norris advises
her to do just that. She may be
embarrassed by Tonys Enita-
tons, and she will not haze the
Injuries she has always kno,On.
but she will haze Iove and a
family bound together by sim
pile good-heartedness. Her par
ents, divorced for many years,
cannot even offer her a home,

they can giUe her, they toouId
probably expect to claim all her

|T TERE is a letter from
young girl that might
= = make some m 9th er
thoughtful. Linda sends me her
picture with her letter, and it is
the picture of a sweet, sensible,
pretty creature. She makes no
complaint; she only wants some
advice. But I think she has
been badly treated, and that it
is the fault Of a selfish father
and mother.
''When ! was quite little,
mother and dad made much Of
me; I felt that they loved me-"
writes Linda. "But when I was 10
another man appeared in the fam
lily, was there continually, taking
mother to lunch or dinner or dane
ing; I didn't like him very much,
and neither did dad. Soon mother
explained to me that dad was GO
ing away; it made me feel strange
and lonely, but Of course I was only
a child, and when mother married
the man I will call Van she ex-
planned to me that it only meant
that had two homes now and three
persons to love me instead of two.
For a year dad and I and my
nurse lived together. Nanny and
I did the cooking and we were all
very happy. But then dad married,
and although Elise was kind to me
and gave me presents, she talked
about my mothers treatment Of my
father, said she had been cruel to
him and worried me so that | was
really ill. Mother was expecting
baby then and could not have me
so I went to hospital and from
there for years to boarding-school.
"My father has always been care
less about money, and every quar-
ter I would have to write and re-
mind him to pay my bills, which !
think accounts for the fact that ]
am pretty shy to this day. I hoped
to be with my mother in vacations,
but instead they arranged for me to
60 to camp every year.
Inherited Money.
"Please don't think / am COM

! loved my parents and my home
and used to feel very lonely. My
father was divorced again last year;
and as pleaded to be able to be
with him and make home for him
he agreed, At IS came into some
money my grandmother left me;
that meant that he and I need have
no money troubles. I came home
Christmas a year ago and for a
few weeks I was completely happy,
going downtown independently, hav-
ing my own car, and feeling free.
But my father has changed, is rare
ly at home, and so ! see little of
him.
"But my mother was very much
annoyed at this arrangement; she
said that having sacrificed me all
these years for my education she
felt that I should be with her, and
help out with the family finances.
My little half-brother was a strong,
beautiful baby, but he got infantile
paralysis, and will always need
