A—16 2200-F00T SEA DIVE SETS NEW RECORD Dr. Beebe Uses Inventor’s Device to Withstand Pres- sure Off Bermuda. By the Associated Press. HAMILTON, Bermuda, September 23. —A new deep-sea diving mark of nearly 2 half mile was added to the world’s | Tecords_today. ¥ Dr, William Beebe, New York scien- tist, and Otis Barton, inventor of the “bathysphere,” a newly devised diving apparatus, descended 2200 feet below the surface of the Atlantic here yester- day and broadcast their impressions over the radio from the depths. The 2,200 feet was several hundred feet farther down than Dr. Beebe, noted as a deep-sea explorer, had ever been. ‘The “bathysphere” protected them from a pressure of 4,800 tons, enough to have flattened both of them if the apparatus had failed. The experiment was made seven miles off Nonsuch Island, Bermuda, from the tug Freedom, which rode in glorious sunshine atop a heavy ocean swell. The “bathysphere” was lowered over the side and Gloria Hollister, colleague of Dr. Beebe, took the microphone until he himself could be cut in. Dr. Beebe hoped to reach 3,000 feet. but was prevented from doing so by leakage of the sea water in a stuffing box through which the electric light cables entered the diving apparatus. The scientists said they had seen value at the newly explored depth. GIRL ASKS $20,000 FOR AUTO INJURIES Ernestine T. Russell Sues George C. Gateau Following Collision. Ernestine T.

MILLIKAN OBTAINS NEW COSMIC RAY DATA Plane Up 21,000 Feet Gets Films Scientist Will Study for Further Knowledge of Subject. By the Associated Press. SPOKANE, Wash., September 23.— New data on the mysterious cosmic ray were inscribed on films of Dr. Robert A. Millikan’s electroscope here today. Just what the information means, the Pasadena, Calif., scientist was unable to say until after intricate calculations. e_information was gathered from as high as 21,000 feet here late yester- day when Maj. R. G. Breene, com- mander of the 116th Observation Squadron of the Washington National Guard, took the electroscope aloft in an Army 'observation plane. ‘Two more such flichts today were to conclude the Spokane phase of Dr. Millikan's quest for further knowledge of the rays.

If she does enter the active arena, 1t will come as a climax to a series of such surprises. Her step-mother, Edith Kermit Roose- velt, to show that Republican Roose- velts did not hold with the political views of Democratic Roosevelts, shook off inhibitions of an earlier social era and became a campaign committee member, club worker and probable radio talker. Mrs. Longworth’s close friend, Mrs. Ogden Mills, wife of the powerful Sec- retary of the Treasury, astonished everybody by making a campaign speech. Mrs. James Curtis, who was hostess to the Longworths at Aiken, 8. C, at the time the late Speaker was fatal- ly stricken, went to work in Republic- | an headquarters, helping raise money and originate campaign ideas. ‘The name of Mrs. John W.

And capping it all, there's still that “precedence controversy,” which has made the whole country—men as wefl as women, “headquarters” confides— eager to go to the Gann meetings.
