Arranging the sea bottom in the submarine base for the work of rebuilding the finger piers which adjoin the Key wall is presenting * few difficulties which were riot anticipated at first.

Storr goes down at regular intervals using the helmet of a diving suit, with two men at the sir pump, which is placed on the wall, to supply him with air. ‘The only instrument used is an ordinary saw. With this he saws off the projecting ends of the piling which leaves the bottom im perfect condition for driving the steel piling or any other activity whieh must be carried on at the spot where the piling -ras former- ly located, sity Associated Presa) MILWAUKEE, Wis., Feb. 3.—| Buffalo 20 Brief engagements, a minimum of 54 from 20 to 24 years as the proper 24 age to marty and weddings for 50 students are some of the recom- 26 mendations made by Frank Gam- 46 @l, Milwaukee phychologist, who at has been conducting “schools of 28 marriage” at various local church- a 58 ee.

The Panama canal cost $525,- 812,661 and army engineers esti- mate that the Nicaraguan anal could be constructed for $722,- tified, they believe, because such a canal would be a second avenue of national defense between the United States’ east and west coasts and would promote friendly rela- tions and trade between the United States and Central and) South America.
