workers, provided segmented seed
is used and that the beets are
thinned before they are one inch
high. The machine could thin six

The submarine S-26 was sunk
in a collision with another naval
vessel of Panama the night of
January "a and carried all but
three of her crew down with her,
the Navy Department announced
today.
Although the sunken submarine
has been found in 301 feet of water
the Navy said there was no indica-
ton of life on board.
The normal complement Of the
S-26 was four officers and IS men,
but the Navy did not say definitely
that exactly this number was on
board.

Three members of the crew were
on the bridge and we're thrown clear
of the submarine and rescued. They
were 1t. Comdr. Earle C. Hawk,
commanding officer; 1t. Robert e. N.
Ward and Seaman first class Joe
B. Hurst.
A buoy which had been elected
from a signal gun was located on
the surface containing a message
which revealed that the forward
and after ends of the submarine
which contained the compartments
fitted for rescue work with the div
ing bell were flooded, and that the
surviving members of the crew were
in the central operating compart-
ment. The Navy explained that
owing to the design of the coming
tower structure in this type of SUBJ
marine, it was not possible to use
the submarine rescue bell over the
central compartment, even If the
ship had been located in time.
The submarine bell was developed
some years after this type of sub
marine was built.
