NAVY WILL SINK 54 ONGE AGAIN New Rescae Device to Be Tested With Men on Board Washington, Oct. 18 — For a sec- ond time within a year the sub- marine 8-¢ is fated to sprawl help- lessly upon the sea’s floor—but this time as an agent of life and science. It is as though the navy depart- ment wanted to give the 8-¢ a chance to compensate for the grim role it played last December when, rammed and crippled. it trapped 40 men off the Cape Cod coast. ‘True, it will be but a recondition- ed hulk of the craft that went down | oft Provincetown. But & hulk in the interest of life is some improve- ment over a trim ship that coquets with death. Haszard still is to have a hand in the game. A man is pitting his in- ventive ingeuity against the handi- caps of the under-water elements. That man is Lieut. C. B. Momsen, of the U. 8. navy. BSBome day soon he will step out of the 8-4, after it has been sunk in 125 feet of water in lower Chesapeake bay, near Hampton Roads, and—unless his de- vice fails him—he will rise slowly to the surface. Device Looks Like Gas Mask In the probable event of a suc- cessful escape, one or two other vy men will follow him, demon- strating the dependabllity of a res- cue device which is expected to save innumerable lives in the future. ‘The device which will enable Lt.

The *“lung” furnishes a supply of oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide from the breath. The principle of its operation has not been disclosed, but its primary and essential value lies in the fact that it regulates the pressure of the oxygen in accord- ance with the great pressure of the water far under the sea. 8o long as the human body is saturated with air equal to the pressure of the water, it can withstand the pressure outside. The “lung” is an equaliza- tion apparatus, mgintaining the same pressure within that exists without. ‘Will Function at Any Depth Its use is limited only by the depth to which ~ man can go down —a little more than 300 feet. Sub- marines ordinarily run 30 or 40 feet below the surface while using periscopes and 80 to 100 feet other- wise. One once went down 287 feet, accidentally, and had a hard time. New submarines are tested slightly above 200 feet. The S-51 found her grave 141 feet below the surface anr the S-4 was raised from 102 feet. In August, Lieut. Momsen, follow- ed by Chief Torpedoman Joseph Eibend and E. Kallonoski, emerged from a diving bell 110 feet below the surface and came up safely, proving the efficacy of the “lung.” They had first released a buoy from be- low, using the connecting rope to guide and retard their progress. At regulated markings along the rope they stopped to “decompress” them. selves; this procedure is necessary in using the “lung.” In Beptember similar tests were made in 155 feet of water, proving equally successful.

The 8-4 tests will prove whether men can safely get into the water from a submarine. Theoretically, this is not difficuit. Tests in a pressure tank with an equivalent pressure depth of 225 feet have indicated that. The navy, hcwever, must prove it. In submarine rescues at consider- able depth, pressure must be equalized by admitting * water to some space in the submarine. There must be an opening into the water from such an air compartment. The water, entering, compresses the air within. Although the principle is simple, it never has been tried out in a submarine. Momsen and his fellow experimenters must see what happens when a submarine compart- ment is flooded. “I'm just the guinea pig,” said Momsen, who, as usual, will be first to make the final tests. Disclaiming any talents or training as a diver or pressure expert, Momsen passes credit for invention and develop- ment of the “lung” along te Chief Gunner C. L. Tibbals, one of the world’'s leading authorities on deep water conditions, and F. M. Hobson, civilian engineer in the navy's bureau of construction and repair, which Momsen officially represents in the tests. Can Carry “Lungs” For Entire Crew ‘The lightness and simplicity of the “lung” is its most important char- acteristic. “Diving helmets have been used as safety devices by some foreign na- tions, but never successfully much below 60 feet,” sald Momsen. “At greater depths, complete diving suits have been necessary—and a sub- marin cannot carry complete suits for all of its crew. It can carry plenty of ‘lungs’ however.” Reconditioning the 8-4 for Lieut. Momsen's test has been completed Windnoly':akers $1.00 —A warm fleece lined jacket for school and play. In tan and grey.

There, on a date yet to be an- nounced, the 8-4 will be sunk in 126 feet of water with Lieut. Momsen and perhaps two other men aboard her—hoping they'll be able to get out and back to the surface in safety. What precautions will be taken to assure rescue of the men in the in the event anything goes wrong hasn’t yet been divulged. City ltems An automobile truck driven by John K. Daley of 25 Cabot street, struck Felix Maguire, 3 years old son of Mr., and Mrs. John P. Ma- guire of 102 Linwcod street last eve- ning near his home. Daley reported to the police that Dr. Stephen A. Donnelly attended the boy and found slight scratches about the tace.
