surface, direct the procedure.
OF the 1877 million square miles of
our planets surface, some 140 million
are covered by the oceans. This en-
tire hidden area is the domain which
DR.. Ewing can now explore.
Among major unknowns which the
Ewing camera may solve include:
What is life on the oceans mys-
FERROUS eerie bottom?
How did the great undersea can

New York Carbohydrate and what
is happening in those great ocean
bottom valleys today?
Docs the floor of the Pacific Ocean
confirm or deny the theory that the
earths moon was once cast off from
this point of the globe and that the
Pacific is simply the hole left by the
Earth's satellite?
What is the extent of the tides and
of the tidal currents which Professor
Ewing has already found to exist on
the floor Of the sea?

Thus men finally can see and record
what goes on at the mysterious bot
tom OF the ocean.
Sunken treasure ships, weird fishes,
unknown valleys, deposits OF mineral
wealth-all those, and many more
things can now be revealed accurately
for the first time
Professor William NJ. Ewing Of
Columbia University has developed
and perfected this new device for the
Navy. at the Occanographic Institute
at Woods Hole. Mass.
At recent meeting Of the Ameri-
can Optical Society In New York, DR..
Ewing showed the first photographs,

like at great depths.

By the Way
BETH BLAINE

Like the captain of a ship, pretty
young SPAR 1t. Eugenia Lawrence
is on call "a hours day, for she's
the commanding officer of the Coast
Guard barracks in Washington,
which houses approximately 800
SPARS.
A native of Georgia, Lit. Lawrence
received her education there, took
her A. B. degree from the Georgia
State College for Women, and shortly
thereafter was appointed director of
public welfare for Putnam County
She is efficient and enthusiastic, has
an easy naturalness with people and
never has lost her Southern accent
Her first assignment as a SPAR was
Houston and she was the first SPAR
to be assigned in the State of Texas
After two months of recruiting
there she came to Washington and
was put in charge of one of the
barracks units. 1t was last Sep
TENDER that she was made COM
handing officer of the entire bar
racks.
Under her supervision are the fol-
lowing responsibilities: Assignment
of SPAR enlisted personnel in the
District of Columbia, maintenance
of project and barracks and COM
missary, discipline, recommended
lions for requests and transfers, for
recreation and for the wonderful
ships service store in the barracks.
She also has the authority of ad-
vancement in ratings up to and in
Guiding first class. Under her juris-
diction are 10 SPAR officers to whom
she is wise enough and capable
enough to delegate authority for
specific jobs.
She's as proud as Punch over the
wonderful new barracks, which in
clude recreation hall, gymnasium,
inflrmary with its own public health
doctor ca woman, restaurant and
a store. Its like a small world of
its own" she told us. There are
movies twice a week, dances about
once month, and the SPARS, !
believe, are the only servicewomen
who have regular battalion reviews
every month. Also, we have a SPAR
drum and bugle corps!"
1t is little world of its own. and
a very complete one. I'd say, due in
no small part to the able manage
ment of young 1t. Lawrence of
Georgia.
