DIVING FOR THE SUBMARINE F-4
The sinking of the F-4 of the Ha
waiian submarine flotilla during ma
neuvers In Honolulu harbor on March
2.". when It failed to rise after diving
with Iwenty-one members of its crew,
is the first fatal disaster that has oc
curred to an American undersea craft.
An account of the disaster appears in
the June Popular Mechanics Maga
zine and a number of Illustrations
show the work of locating the position
of the lost craft, which involved some
remarkable diving. The article states:
"In making the unprecedented dive
to the bottom of Honolulu harbor the
naval operative wore an ordinary div
ing suit. Altogether he was under the
water for about two hours. The de
scent wa.« made very rapidly, only five
minutes being consumed. After In
specting the hull of the submerged
vessel and ascertaining how the lines
were lying he commenced to be raised
to the surface. An hour and 4 5 min
utes was spent in doing this, so as to
accustom him slowly to the decreasing
pressure and the final change to the
:rmal atmospheric pressure. This
procedure Is made necessary by the
tremendous pressure a diver Is sub
jected to when under a great depth of
water. At 300 feet this amounts to
aproxlmately 130 pounds to the square
inch, or for a man of average stature,
an aggregate load of possibly 140 tons.
A quick descent Is possible, since an
increase In pressure can be readily
withstood by the body, up to a certain
point, but on ascending every possible
care must be taken to allow the body
to become accustomed to the lighter
load. This Is the reason that seven
eighths of the time the diver was In
the water was spent In raising'him to
the surface."

TUESDAY EVENING,
CHANGE iS EDED'
Blf ALLj*yS DIXON,
Commissioner of Health Gives
Some Idea in Regard to the
Care of One's Health
The average man needs a change
aaid should have it, says Dr. Samuel
Q. Dixon, the State Commissioner of
Health, In his weekly hygiene talk.
Dr. Dixon discusses the danger of get
ting into routine habits and not taking
proper recreation or change. In his
comments the commissioner says:
The majority of people who are oc
cupied for fifty weeks out of the year
should seek in the remaining two to
find, not necessarily rest, but a change
of environment. ,
The man who haa struggled through
the crowded streets of a city, ridden on
packed trolley cars and railroad trains
for months on end should make his
way to the quiet country side, the
camp in the woods or some spot
equally free from the press of human- i
ity. ;
The man who lives In the country
or small town may find a correspond- ,
ing benefit from a week or more spent ;
amid the rush and turmoil of the city.
Each at thees widely varying environ
ments holds the possibility of afford
ing a mental stimulus to those who
are unfamiliar with their moods.
The mind no less than the body
needs refreshment and change. It
needs the stimulation of new ideat*.
It is more difficult to acquire this in ;
our ordinary surroundings than where
everything Is strange and unusual and I
the mind is stirred to activity. It Is j
out. of the question for the man who I
maintains his regular routine day in
and day out to continue to put into
!iis work the same vigor.
We can become over developed
along one line mentally just as readily I
as physically and the results may even I
more seriously affect our welfare.
If in seeking for a change we en
counter surroundings, which owing to
unfamillarity, are not agreeable, in
the long run we profit. If in no other
way, at least they make our own daily
round seem more acceptable by con
trast. ,
So plan your vacation that it will
bring you to realize afresh how multi
farious and interesting are the activ
ities of mankind or how soothing lo
the weary mind are Mother Sfature's
marvels.
Pittsburgh Steel Plants
at Its Full Capacity
Pittsburgh, Pa., July 13. Orders
just issued from the executive offices
of the United States Steel Corporation
and the separate statement made by
various prominent officials of sub
sidiary organizations are "to speed up
all operating iron and steel plants to
maximum capacity, to rush repair
work to earliest completion, and to
stand ready to turn out more steel
products than ever before."
The orders which were received by
operating managers in the gigantic
steel corporation chain, located far
and wide throughout the country, pre
ceded by a few hours the statement
given to Wall Street Saturday noon,
which showed the aggregate of un
filled orders on hand at the end of
June. The unfilled orders on June 30
totaled 1,678,196 tons, an increase of
413,598 tons over May's unfinished
tonnage.
Running full, with its present
capacity, the iron and steel industry of
the United States will give employ
ment to approximately 500,000 per
sons, and will establish a payroll of
5450.000.000 a year. Those figures are
far above the figures of any other
single manufacturing industry.
A PEARL-FISHER
OF THE MISSISSIPPI
"Good morning," said I, and "Morn
in'," said he, as I ranged alongside in
a borrowed skiff and inquired of the
pearl-fisher if he were getting any
clams. He was of large build, smooth
shaven and ruddy, deep-voiced, and of
the age which he himself described
as "gettin' along in years." Facing
-tt in the stern of his power-skiff, he
was drifting slowly down-stream.
With the lines of -a sort of canvas
drogue called a "mule" ip his hands
he controlled the slow movement of
his craft as it dragged over the river
bed a long iron bar, to which were at
tached the many lines and leads for
the clams to foolishly close upon.
"No," he said; "don't expect much
this time o' year. Ain't any market,
anyhow, on account of this pesky
war. Looks as though that Dutch
Kaiser 'll get what he's been lopking
for. don't it? Any news this morn
in?"
But I did not come to discuss world
politics. and steered the conversation
to other channels.
"Oh yes. get some good ones some
times, but they're mostly "slugs' or
'dog's teeth.' Get a quarter apiece
for 'em. Use 'em in this here new
fangled jewelry. But it's the shells
we depend on most. Brought twenty
dollars a ton regular till the war broke
out. They send them to Germany for
imitation mother-o'-pearl in inlay
work.
"I got a dandy pearl once—was new
at the game and lucky. It was as big
as a pea, round as a shot, and pure
white 'ceptin' on one side, where there
was a tinge of pink like you see on
the clouds at supup. It weighed five
grains and was considered the best
stone ever taken out of the river
around here.
"I didn't keep It long—worse luck.
There was a Chicago chap up at the
hotel who heard about it, and soon as
he saw it he offered me five hundred
dollars for it. I was green then, as I
r say, and I let him have it, sayin' I'd
leave it to his hqnesty that it wasn't
worth any more. Guess he kinder
mean about it afterward, as the next
time he came he brought me a gold
watch. Could afford it, I suppose, on
my money."—W. J. Aylward in Har-
Iper's Magazine for July. x

Charlie Chaplin, in his latest release,

This is a scream, a grouch chaser and a

STATE TO EDUCATE
42.187 CHILDREN
Board of Education Arranges For
Distribution of the Burden
of Maintenance Cost
Plans have been completed by the
State Board of Education to lighten
as far as possible the burden of the
expense of maintaining the con
tinuation schools provided for by the
Cox child labor law to be opened after I
January 1 and a system was worked
out at an all day session of the State
Board of Education yesterday whereby
the State appropriation will be dis
tributed.
There are 42,167 children in the
State who will be affected by the Cox
act according to the data gathered by
the State Bureau of Vocational Educa
tion and over half of them are in
Philadelphia. The plan is that all
funds appropriated for the con
tinuation schools will be expended j
through the local boards of education
as far as possible on the per capita
basis. Small districts will be given
a minimum.
The members of the board consult
ing yesterday with Gevernor Brum
baugh are very desirous of having the
burdens of education made as easy as
possible. The plan is to have every
thing ready this Fall.
The board elected William Lauder,
of Bedford, as vice chairman and re
elected Dr. J. George Becht as
executive secretary. This is taken to
mean that Dr. Becht will remain here
and not become vice president of
Lafayette College. Robert C. Shaw,
Greensburg and Dr. W. C. Jacobs, of
Philadelphia, the new members of
the board attended.
There are two places to be filled on
the board.
A SURE CROP OF MELONS
The secret of raising melons in a
dry time has been discovered by a
Kansas farmer, who had an abundant
crop last year, while the fields of. his
neighbors were dried up with drouth.
Farm and Home thus describes his
methods: The previous Fall he dug
holes as large as a barrel in the field
at the right distance for the melons,
and filled them nearly full of corn
cobs.
They were left open through the
winter, and in the Spring he shoveled
back a foot of good soil and planted
the melon seeds. The vines grew vig
orously and produced abundantly.
Frequent examination showed that
the bed of corn cobs always contained
plenty of moisture, even when the sur
rounding soil was quite dry.

XJXIOAD HAY IX SEVEN MINUTES
After seeing It done, It was so sim
ple that it was hard to believe. In
the first place, they used a side-de
livery rake and made the windrows
just large enough so that once around
the field with the wagon made a load.
Following the raking came the load
ing. and here Is where the trick of un
loading so qulakly came In, writes L.
W. Chase In Farm and Home. They
used tight bottom racks, so that no
time was wasted In finding a place to
step, and no sores were made from
missing their footing and slipping
I through the cracks. They used slings.
I When the team arrived in the field,
I the slings were in place. One sling
was laid across the front half of the
I rack with its ends placed over the
I sides and held there with short ropes,
tied in an easy slip knot. The other
! sling was laid across the rear half of
| the rack In a similar way. After the
loader was hooked to the wagon, the
I loading began. One boy drove the
I team at moderate speed and the other
j loaded the hay, first filling the back
I half of the rack to its proper height,
then the front part.
At the barn one boy untied the front
sling and tossed the ends up to the
boy on the load, who coupled the sling
to the hoist hook the other went
to drive the hoisting team. After the
load had been -tripped, one boy pulled
the sling back while the other drove
the team back and untied the rear
sling ready to remove the last half
of the load.

CUHI GOES
AFTER LAW BREAKERS
Sends Notices That Repetition of
Auto Law Violations Will
Mean Loss of Cards
Dozens of owners of automobiles
and chauffeurs have been officially
warned by Highway Commissioner
Cunningham since the first of tha
month that they have been reported
for violating automobile regulations in
operating cars without front and rear
tags, without lights and In other ways
contrary to the State regulations.
These warnings are accompanied by
stQtements that a second offense will
necessitate a hearing to show causa
why license should not be revoked.
As high as twenty complaints of this
character have been received by tha
Highway Department a day. In addl*
tion there are pending several cases In
which men have been summoned to
show cause why automobile licenses
should not be revoked on the chargtt
that cars were operated by Intoxicated
people.
The commissioner yesterday
voked the license of John Connally,
of Titusvllle, on the charge of running
a car while drunk. He was fined in
Oil City for the offense.
