PAGE TEN NAVY SINKS AGAIN TOTEST i RESCUE DEVICE Lt. Momsen to Test Future Hope for Imprisoned Men Washington, Oct. a second time within a year the submarine S-4 is fated to sprawl helplessly upon the floor this Mme as an agent of Life and Science. It is as though the Navy department wanted to give the S-4 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 reconditioned hulk of the craft that went down off Provincetown.

But a hulk in the Interest of Life is some improvement over a trim ship that coquets with Death. Hazard still is to have a hand in the game. A man is pitting his inventive ingenuity against the handicaps of the under-water dements. That man is Lieut. C.

B. Momsen, of the U. S. Navy. Some day soon he will step out of the S-4, after it has been sunk in 125 feet of water In lower Chesapeake Bay, near Hampton Roads, his device fails will rise slowly to the surface.

Looks Like Gas Mask In the probable event of a successful escape, one or two other Navy men will follow him, demonstrating the dependability of a rescue device which is expected to save innumerable lives in the future. The device which will enable Lieut. Momsen and his collaborators to escape from the S-4, as many of the submarine's original crew might have escaped had they been equipped with it, is called In appearance it is more or less like a gas mask. The 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 accordance with the great pressure of the water far under the sea.

So long a 3 the human body is saturated with air equal to the pressure of the water, it can withstand the pressure outside. The is an equalization apparatus, maintaining the same pressure within that exists without. Functions at Any Depth Its use is limited only by the depth to which a man can go downa little more than 300 feet. Submarines ordinarily run 30 or 40 feet below the surface while using periscopes and 80 to 100 feet otherwise. 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 and the S-4 was raised from 102 feet. In August, Lieut.

Momsen and his companions will try to get out of the submarine and return to the surface, going up hand over hand along a rope.

The S-4 tests will prove whether men can safely get into the water from a Theoretically, this is not difficult. Tests in a pressure tank with an equivalent pressure depth of 225 feet have indicated that. The Navy, however, must prove it. In submarine rescues at considerable 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 Her Chance to Compensate 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 compartment is flooded. just the guinea 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 development of the along to Chief Gunner C.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE FLAX AVERAGE IS 12 BUSHELS Bank of North Dakota Field Agent Reports on Stark County Grain The flax yield in Stark county will average 12 bushels per acre, according to a report to the Bank of North Dakota by H. Leutz, its field agent in that district. Several fields, Leutz said, produced as high as 24 bushels per acre. Pastures and stock are in good condition in the west Missouri Slope country, Leutz said, and the grass is well cured. Considerable loss has been caused, however, by prairie fires, which have burned pastures and some other property.

Some corn got ripe, although most of it was nipped by the frost. Leutz believes there may be enough for seed.
