Submarines World’s Deepest Divers Xiive Navy Most Deadly of Undersea Fighters. San Diego, Calif. — Submarines capable of diving to a depth of 600 feet with safety—far deeper than any other such craft ever con structed — have given the United States navy the most deadly un dersea fighters in the world, it is believed here. A newly developed, highly resist ant metal makes possible the great er diving depth of the new craft and at the same time allows con struction of submarines considera bly smaller in actual size but decid edly more effective. These facts were revealed here when the U. S. S. Tarpon, newest member of the navy’s submarine force, docked here to join the flo tilla of grim-looking, ebony-hued fighters. Heretofore no submarine has been capable of descending to a depth of much more than 300 or 400 feet with safety. Although the Tarpon and sister ships, now under construction, or undergoing final tests, never have descended to a 600-foot depth, officers and men aboard the craft are confident they could withstand such a diva “if ne cessity required." Quarter-Inch Halls. The newly developed metal, with its greater tensile strength and higher degree of durability, has made it possible to construct the new fleet-type submarines with a IN HALL OF FAME hull only one-quarter of an inch thick compared to two inches ne cessary with former types steel, it was said. Although the 500-foot length is considerably less than that of the U. S. Nautilus, which boasts of outstanding performance records, the U. S. S. Tarpon is even more efficient than the larger craft and carries a considerably smaller crew. A crew of fifty men and five of ficers operate the Tarpon. Numer ous newly developed automatic con trols make the reduction in per sonnel possible. Smaller size has not made the Tarpon prey to heavy seas, and ‘she’s as stable as an ocean liner," Lieutenant O’Shea said, in com menting on the cruising ability of the craft, which recently completed the long voyage from the east coast alone. Six other submarines of the Tar pon class now ore nearing comple tion—the Perch, Plunger, Pickerel, Pompano, Pollack and Permit. An other six will be completed during the fiscal year starting July 1—the Salmon, Seal, Skipjack, Snapper, Stingray and Sturgeon. Officers aboard the Tarpon re fused to discuss reports carried in the Army and Navy Register, a semiofficial publication, which told of mechanical defects uncovered in the generators of the main propel ling plant of their vessel and three sister subs—the Shark. Porpoise and Pike. It was said-discovery of these defects, during shakedown cruises and trial runs, would keep the new submarines on a reduced operating status until they are overcome. THE REIGN OF LAW By LEONARD A. BARRETT l We may disobey law, but we can never "break" it. In reality, it breaks us in the end. Obedience is liberty but dis- obedience is servitude. We sometimes think we are beating the law when we fail to keep it, but we forget we must ultimately pay the penalty. We take a chance; two au tomobiles crash with disastrous results. We ig nore the laws of health, and disease is inevitable. When we come in contact with steam or fire, we pay the penalty with the pain of a severe burn. There is no escape. If we would be free from suffering, we must obey the law. In the absence of the reign of law this world would be hectic, indeed. Smash the law of gravitation, and there would be chaos. Variety in nature—yes, but the fundamental laws of growth are axiomatic. The reign of law is also present in the realm of intellectual values.

If it is wet there will be difficulty in keeping the jam and it will become mouldy very quickly. Boil the fruit as soon as possible after gathering. • A hoc la ted Newspapers.—WNU Service F ' HAD been the family breakfast room, but as the children grew out of high chairs, it was decided that the breakfast room should be come the children’s dining room. Father and Mother wanted to make the room attractive yet didn’t want to spend too much in the process— another place where ingenuity would have to play the most impor tant role. The legs of an old wood top kitch en table were cut down so that the table became a dining table of just the right height for the youngsters. Four small unpainted chairs were bought, three for the family chil dren and an extra chair for com pany. These and the table were fin ished in a soft blue. The walls of the breakfast room were already painted a pale yellow so all they needed was a washing down to make them look like new. Father drew a series of scallops on the wall as a border at the top molding and painted them a rich, cocoa brown. The ceiling was also painted brown to make it seem lower. The one large window was cur tained with Dutch type curtains in an amusing chintz, a brown back ground with saucy, pert faces of kittens as a pattern. These cur tains were bound with yellow rick- rack. The same chintz was used to cover chair pads for the small seats and these pads were finished also with the yellow rickrack. On one wall of the room a bulle tin board, in the form of a black board, was put up as a picture with the frame painted brown. Yellow chalk was used to write down daily reminders and suggestions and here the children were allowed, once a week, to plan a meal they would like to have. Brown paper was used for cutting out several cats that r. A MINUTE SCIENTIFACTS ^ BY ARNOLD An Eton jacket of white shark skin tops a frock of black and white printed satin.

A man cannot think dishonest thoughts and be an honest man. Deeds are answerable to thoughts. Thoughts make character and mold destiny. We are what we are in the organic unity of our thought life. As a cathedral is the outward expres sion of an architect’s dream of beauty, so our lives are what our thoughts make them. All the crime in the world is due to vicious think ing. Crime is the result of the vio- sons irresistibly attractive? Not be cause of a beautiful face but rather Charm is an attribute of the soul. The increasing disrespect for law is a serious matter. We argue the right to break a law if it is unjust. Truly, we have laws on our statutes which should never have been enacted. The way to get rid of them is not to break them but to remove them, if unjust, by the authority of public opinion. By the same token, public opinion should be aroused to the point of demanding obedience. If a man injure one, with a car whose brakes are faulty, that man should pay the penalty to the ut most farthing.

They looked as if they were sitting on a yellow fence, watching the children eat their suppers. Various pictures of cats, collected and adored by the children, were framed and huag in a low frieze around the room on a line with the window sill, which is a regulated and ordered universe.

First, we think it’s time for a protest against this vogue for elegance that the decorators have decreed. It’s all very pretty, of course, and we’re a great be liever in having a home as beautiful as means will permit. And we don’t hold for taupe mohair just because it wears like iron either. But we’ve seen just one white linoleum floor too many . . . just one more pale sa t i n chair than we can approve. After all, a lot of American women do their own work. White linole um and white broad- loom show every footmark and that’s too much cleaning for the lady who has to get rid of footmarks. Satin up holstery lasts just exactly three years under reasonable use, and that’s not long enough tor its cost is tha average home. You see, we’ve Jot been on a round of the most distinguished of New York decorators’ exhibits of new rooms—the rooms that set styles as the Paris fashion openings do. And we just can’t see families growing up in those too, too beauti ful visions of blonde floors and pas tel upholsteries. Twould be well and good if we all had a retinue of i cestral retainers in our marble halls and all the money we need tor re placements. What are ask in tha exhibits art rooms that interpret gracious back grounds in terms of every-day Ufa. The distinguished decorators do beautiful things with rooms in tha royal manner, but they fail conspic uously in the execution of rooms that people—just people—are going to Uve in. And yet it requires more abiUty to do rooms of charm on a small sum than on an unlimited amount A room coating a young fortune ought to be beautiful. A room built on imagination and ingenuity is a lot more of a triumph for the interior decorator who is possessed of real talent Do you know where we’ve found more Ideas of originality coupled with Uvable charm?
