New Submarine Rescue Chamber - 11 ??Mill Under the watchful eyes of United States naval officers this newly in vented and perfected submarine rescue chamber is being lowered in the Brooklyn navy yard drydock for a thorough test. It pulls Itself down by motor power by a cable until it Is directly over the "eye" of the rescue hatch. As many as eight men at a time can be transferred from a doomed vessel to the chamber, which rises to the surface from its own buoyancy. It con tains an electric light and a telephone through which means constant com munication can be kept up between the sunken submarine and the rescue ship through this new rescue chamber. LIGHTS OF NEW YORK | By WALTER TRUMBULL Theodore Iloosevelt practically never forgot a name. Perhaps that Is why he was President. Personally, I couldn't even run for a train on that platform. I cannot remember names, and my mother is no better at it than I am. I wonder whether it can be an inherited trait. At any rate we know better than to try to re member a name, because if we do try we always get It wrong. In this regard, any association of Ideas is a snare and a delusion. One reason is that when you want to re member a name you usually are in a hurry. Either you are trying to in troduce somebody or you unexpected ly meet some one out of his accus tomed niche. When there is no sud den pressure names are easy to re member. You always think of them 15 minutes after you need them. Those with a good memory for names regard you with pity and tol erance. The fact that you do not forget persons seems to carry little weight. If you say, "You know tne chap 1 moan?that bearded author who goes about with Gene Tunney? the tall old Irish fellow who writes plays," they exclalm^In shocked tones: "Surely, jou are not speaking of Ber nard Shaw!" Of whom else could * you be speaking? Isn't lie Irish and tall, and hasn't he a beard, and isn't he an author and playwright? Try and deny it! ? ? ? Persons are such egoists that they rarely help you out on names. Few, for example, step up aud say, Tin Manuel, former king of Portugal. Do you remember me?" That's Old Vorld courtesy. Most of them are like the man of whom Jim Corbett tells his famous story, the member of a crowd of several thousand who met Jim at the station when he was champion, and who later said, "Of course, you rememtcr me. I was the man in the brown derby." I bate to blow the whistle on Jack Dempsey, but Jack has been getting away too long with a reputation for a great memory. The truth Is that he has a system. lie just says, "Hello, pal" to everybody. I heard him do that once to a particularly annoying butter-in. "la he your pal?" I asked him a bit severely. "I never saw the dumb cluck before," said Jack cheerfully, "lut they're all my pals." ? ? ? Few have the moral courage to ad mit that they don't remember. Fre quently I stall until I have had a chance to go over the alphabet nnd try the theory of association. Then usually I triumphantly address "Mr. Tiger" as "Mr. Unn, or "Mr. Pick erel" as "Mr. Pike." Gene Tunney used to be honest. He would say, "I am sorry. I don't remember you. but I am glad to see you." Then some one who had probably shaken hands with him at a training camp would go away calling him ill man nered nnd "high hat." ? ? ? George Creel has the courage of his convictions. He was standing with a senator once In Washington, when n man rushed up and said, "You don't know my name." "Why should 17" demanded Mr. Creel. "I don't even remember you." The senator sighed. "I wish," he said, "I had the nerve to do that." Franklin P. Adams Is fond of such things as crossword puzzles, but refuses to spend his time In guess ing contests. If some one calls him on the telephone nnd says, "I bet you don't know who this Is," he replies promptly, "You win," and bangs up the retolvcr. ? ? ? Women, even the most beautiful and interesting, are hardest to re member because of the faculty they have of completely changing their ap pearance with a hat or gown. 1 still grow warm with embarrassment when I think of a woman I met one morn ing on Fifth avenue. It was In the days when they wore those hats they pulled down over their noses. "You don't remember me." she said laughingly. I knew 1 had aeen end talked with her somewhere, but couldn't for the life of me call her by name. It developed that I had sat next to her at a dinner the pre vious evening. 1911.

It coolu und browDS quicker and better than If put In a warm pan. It Is a good plan to dip brooms In very hot soapsuds once a week. This toughens the bristles, and the brooms not only last longer, but also sweep better than If they were kept perfectly dry. Mint and herbs should be washed In cold water, wrung dry In a cloth and chopped with a sharp knife. If carefully dried thus they will be crisp and. Instead of clinging In a wet mass to the knife and board, will be quickly chopped to powder. The board also will not be stained green or require special attention to clean.

They are disappearing. Last year 440 Icebergs were reported In tha areas of north Atlantic travel. This season only two small bergs have made their appearance and they were so distant from the recognised steamship lanes that they failed altogether as a spectacle It Is suggested that drought over a large area of thlir continent prevented the accumulation of sufficient water in the North to produce the usual supply of bergs, and the novel Idea is mooted that it may soon become advisable for steamship companies to anchor a few bergs off the Straits of Belle Isle for the benefit of passengers.

P ^ A 9^ One nlffht the numbers gathered to gether for a jolly meeting. For once they decided to hare a thoroughly good time. They were tired of caus ing frowns to appear on children's faces. Every single one of them ar rived on time. When they felt extremely gay they I <? * t -?? T \ took partner! and danced. Of course, when they took partners they Immedi ately became larger, more Important nnmbers and changed their names. Twelve danced a Jig; forty-six did a fancy polka; fifty-three swayed gracefully; seventy danced a rather stiff waltz and not always In time; and eighty-nine, because Its two parts both wished to dance In the same di rection, tried to please each, by skip ping merrily forward In a barn dance. All went well until some nupiber, perhaps It was roly-poly zero, spied an Interesting staircase. "Let's all roll down the stairs," said he. Not wishing to appear disagreeable the other numbers agreed. It was easy enough tor zero who bad no joints to bruise, but dear, dear what a heap and a Jumble of uncomfortable nam I bers landed at the foot of the stairs W > L Y V J ?? A a few momenta later. Alaa! There they must stay until the children will straighten them out Stand them In pairs on the lines above so that each pair, when added, will make nine. When this Is done, It Is possible they may feel comfort able again.

First we Smust have a good founda tion, which comes from healthy ancestry, then comes the choosing of the materials to build the bony structure and the muscnlar system which must -develop at the same time. During the early years the bones need lime and other minerals to stif fen them and make them strong to carry on the work of the body. In the 'teerf age the diet mq#t furnish ade quate amounts of "building" foods. A diet which supplies dally one pint to a quart of milk taken la various ways, two eggs, one-fourth head ot lettuce or Its equivalent In cabbage, from one-half to one pint of orange Juice dally, with the juice of a lem on. Dslng the Juice of the lemon to add to the drinking water without sugar gives the water life and adds the required vitamins needed. This gives a diet wblcb will furnish good firm bones and teeth. For fuel foods which are the car bohydrates (sugars and starches) we need not he exercised about them, as the yontb usually eats enough of sweets, which he needs to supply en ergy, and starches are eaten In fairly good amounts. Tbe fats consumed, which tp taken In oils, nuts, butter and yolk of egg, should be In propor tion of one to four In carbohydrates. In athletics candy gives a quick en ergy food. For children. If given after a meal or long enough before It not to dull the appetite for the proper food, It Is now considered quite a part of the dally food. A growing boy needs twice as much food as his father. Overweight Is better than underweight, since It gives a reserve to draw upon In time of illness or strain. ffEi 1931.

We have It ns the Invention of Dr. Joseph Ignatius Guillotine. Doctor Guillotine was the physician who was responsible for the substitu tion of the guillotine in place of the , various devices hitherto used. The guillotine accomplished the pur pose desired quickly and painlessly. Probably, however. Its many benefi ciaries during the French revolution did not regard It as an unmixed bless ing. 1931 Bell Syndicate.)?WNIJ 8ervlce.

He was the first oriental ever to .enter the White House with the rank and dignity of reigning sover eign. The name of his majesty Is Pra Jadhtpok. easily pronounced wltbtbe accent on the second syllable pra chat-tt-pok. I.ike nearly all Siamese tbe king Is a Buddhist, officially "De fender of the Faith." No other monarch has a cabinet domlnantly composed of princes, his relatives. The crown prince of Siam la now minister of Interior, has been minister of marine. No other crown prince holds cabinet office and no other king Is In effect hit own prime minister. The Itemed sacred wfilte elephants of Slam were never white, are rap Idly losing In popular Siamese opin ion their sacred character, and hare disappeared entirely from the nation al flag which today Is red, white, bine, white and red (five horizontal stripes). A tiember of the Hoover cabinet recently asked a representative of Slam: "How far Is it from the coast?" But Slam Is not In fact, an Island, quite the reverse. Shaped like a plump spider, Slam squats between French Indo-China and British Bur ma on the mainland of Asia, faces the Gulf of Slum and darts a nar row tongue of Siamese territory 600 miles down the Malay peninsula.
