Ilere °s One Kitechen No Housewife Wanis: Submarine Galley Supplies Chow for 64 The United States, rushing its rearmament program, is striving to bring its submarine fleet up to date. Great advances have been made in submarine construction since World War days, but the trend of the twen- ties to bigger and bigger under- water craft has been reversed. In the decade after the war, the navies of the world built huge subs 400 feet fn length, of more than 3,000-ton displacement and capable of cruis- ing 25,000 miles without refueling. It was found, however, that these monsters were impracticable. They could not be ysed in shallow coastal waters greatly reduced the number of ships and the $8,000,000 cost that could be built. Naval experts have come to the conclusion that number rather than size of craft is of greater importance. The U. 8. S. Saury, is typical of the craft being buiit for the Amer- ican underwater navy. Only slight- ly larger than the war-days “pig boats,” it measures 299 feet in length and has a displacement of 1,435 tons. Space is at a premium, for modern submarines, with their batteries and complicated Diesel motors, must allow carrying room for seaplanes and powerboats, and for anti-aircraft guns, cannon, tor- pedo tubes and tons of the huge $10,000 torpedoes which they fire, as well as for the crew. Although quarters still are cramped, living conditions have greatly improved and the name “pig boat” is no longer so apt. In the Saury, Chef John Behan cooks for the crew of 64 in & tiny, stain- less-steel galley. Everything is concentrated, the dishes are racked, the containers are built into the walls, and the stove is of the light- est metal obtainable for the pur- pose. At that there isn’t too much room for flying elbows, (Copyright, 1939) - - Archeologist Says Troy Ruins Show Siege Was Coming ATHENS, May 30. — Professor 1 Blegen, the American archeolo- t who has completed seven years of digging into the ruins of Troy, |fortified stronghold with a_ wa)l around it" at the time Hc_‘&a supposed to have been hroufl‘n there by kidnapper Par ‘Inside the wal Blegen said “there were many houses built on successive terrages rising towards the middle of the|?
