FISHERMEN WILL GET UNDERWATER SUITS FOR HUNTING OF FISH FRENCH SCIENTIST PERFECTS EQUIPMENT FOR NIMRODFISHERMEN PARIS, which will enable a person to walk along the bottom of the ocean and shoot fish has just been invented by a French scientist. Working in his laboratory, Colonel Le Prieur has constructed a 12-lb. diving apparatus which consists only of a light helmet, with two big goggle eyes, and a cylinder of compressed air.

The cylinder is worn around the waist and is connected with the headgear by a rubber tube that fits along the spinal Dry Gunpowder. To eliminate the problem of keeping gunpowder dry, the Colonel has perfected a compressed-air carbine which shoots steel arrows with the rapidity of a small machine gun. They are so thin that they slip thru the water like elongated bullets. It is reported that once a fisherman-hunter gets accustomed to submarine shooting his aim soon becomes as good as on terra firms. Light Equipment.

The lightness of the equipment does not interfere with the movement of the wearer, who can thus quickly bring his carbine into posi tion to take aim at a passing fish. A guage on the cylinder indicates the amount of air remaining. One filling is enough to allow a man to stay under water for approximately 25 minutes. Owing to the fact that pressure has not been taken into consideration, the diver cannot descend to any very great depth.

Smedley Butler, reported today, that the story of plot to make him Dictator of the United States, was labelled as a and devoid of all truth, by Gerald C. MacGuire, bond salesman, who was named by the former head of the Marine Corps, as the man who urged him to head a Fascist Army. Nevertheless, the Congressional Committee on UnAmerican Activities, continued to investigate the charges of Butler, that he was approached by Wall Street brokers to head an army of a fuiLUon soldiers and others, to march on Washington, D.

and seize the control of the government. General Bptler, although retired, continues to break into prominence in the most startling ways. His last spectacular move was his indictment of Premier Mussolini and Cornelius Vanderbilt, over their accident when a small child was run down on a road in Italy, while the two men were out motoring. That sensational statement made at a- tense moment between Italy and tlie United States, resulted in an attempt to court martial the General, but due to the fact that they obtain enough ranking officers to form a court martial board, Mr. Butler was allowed to apologize for his remarks.

This latest story is hs romantic and imaginary, if not more so than his last one. To be dictator of the United States, would indeed be a large order. SIREN WILL WARN AIL BEACH WALKERS TIDE DANGERS AVOID SEA QUICKSANDS OF MONT SAINTMICHEL HAVE TRAPPED MANY VICTIMS PARIS, Saint-Michel, the most photographed French land mark, is to be provided with sirens against the peril of the sea. Debate on the advisability of. protecting strollers along the quicksands, incidentally, has led to the discovery that there is no thing as being swallowed up by these ocean side bogs.

Many an ancient Breton mariner, it was revealed, has been caught in quicksands and survived. The ques tion is one of time. Rarely is a man sucked down to above the waistline, because the subsoil is firm at that level, but many have been caught at a time when the tide was coming in and drowned. The danger is that of drowning' when the tide comes up from seemingly nowhere, filling the vast reaches of sand with furious torrents and treacherous eddies. Victims more often than not are visitors who start out for the historic island of Tombelaine, and fool ed by their calculations of distance and time into being trapped by the tide.

Some, of course, are caught in quicksands and are unable to free themselves before the tide gets up to their chins. Seized with panic even if caught only up to their knees, they struggle frantically, and although it is not true that- they sink into the sand, it is true that their methodless struggles prevent them from getting free. A siren on the hill, it is argued, would warn these travelers to turn back in time. It also is proposed to erect concrete at various for the protection of promenadcrs caught by the tide.
