Before long it will be relegated with such antiques as the Prince Albeit and the stock tie. On occasions even members of the Royal family have been seen at semiformal and formal affairs in ordinary lounge or business suits. This is fast having an effect on the general public. Prince George, youngest son of the King, recently made a number of ceremony calls attired in a dark lounge suit, blue striped shirt, wine-red tie, and a derby. Evening dress, however, is as formal as ever. On formal evening occasions it is rare to find an Englishman in a dinner jacket. The Prince of Wales recently created a sensation and new English style when he appeared at the opera with a new two-loop, two-end white tie. Previously Englishmen had worn a tie with a single loop.

NAVY PREPARES TO DEAL WITH SUBMERSIBLES Future Undersea Mishapsi Would Find Divers And Equipment Ready By Joseph 11. Baird ! (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, May 23 —(UP)— The Navy is prepared to meet the next ' major submarine accident, should one occur, with far more promptness and efficiency than was possible when the S-51 and S-4 sank with a large loss of life. A score of expert divers stand ready to provide the human element necessary to suing the "hook-eyes," i marking bouys and "lung which offer mechanical means of rescue. In a large water-filled cylinder at the Washington Navy yard from 20 to 25 divers are constantly in training under artificial pressures simulating those to be found at from 150 to 300 feet below the surface. These men. trained by Lieut. Henry Hartley, assistant in charge of salvage opera- ■ tions on the S-4 and S-51. are grad- ; uated after thtee months and arc distributed around the coast at all places - where submarines operate. After stringent tests to determine their physical and mental fitness for deep-sea diving, they are trained to . i work with tools far below the surface attaching pontoons, connecting air- . lines, and other hazardous tasks are . taught them -thoroughly. The idea of such a diving "school" originated with Lieut. C. B. Morasen, Chief Gunner C. L.*Tibbals, and Lieut Henry Hartley. Tire former two recent ; ly received the Distinguished Service ' Medal from President Hoover for de- , i veloping the "lung” device which eni tbits men to breath while rising from I a sunken “sub”. * First Class Last Year ; The need for better-trained divers, —and more of them—had been impressed on tlie Navy by the S-fil tragedy. When, in December 1927 the S-4 met with a similar fate, plans for this training were accelerated. With limited funds, a diving tank was built at the Washington .Navy Yard. The first class, — 22 men, — started their training Sept. 24, 1925, and were “graduated," part in DecemI her and the rest in February 1929, ; their final tests revealed five of them • were capable of working at a depth of 1 150 feet, two at 175, one at 200 one at! 250, and 13 at 300 feet. This means, according to Naval offi-| leers, that there are always available; < trained divers capable of working in ' I any depth of water in which a sub-' 1 marine crew can be rescued. The Navy Department keeps a list of all these men, what their diving record is. and where they may be reached. Should a submarine sink, a long : distance telephone call or telegram

would bring to the aid of the "sub" a diver capable of utilizing the technical devices she Navy has developed in any depth down to 300 feet. No attempt, it was said, was made to train divers to descend to lower depth for, with lhe present structure of sub I marines, they would be crushed should they go below 300 feet and attempts at rescue would bo useless. Present plans of the Navy cal! for I 1 classes of 25 men at the diving school constantly. The course requires about , I throb months. As soon as one group is . I graduated another takes its place. Enrollment Voluntary Enrollment in the course, it was said is voluntary. The divers, so far, have been recruited mostly from lhe petty officer (lass. No commissioned officers are included among the school s present alumni. Within one year, it was said, work on the problem of submarine safety —cairied out largely by Momsen. Tibbals, and Frank M. Hobson, has produced what the Navy regards as almost sure salvation for submarine crews, —the "lung.” Light and compact, they can he stored easily in the limited spaces aboard undersea craft. The Navy has ordered enough of them to provide one for each man on submarine duty. New Feeling of Confidence Tlie "lung" is merely a breathing ap paratus. with a rubber tube watch may attached to the nose. It does not slip over the head as do diving helmets. And, by descending slowly, while using the device, one may avoid the much dreaded "cramps.” it is said. In addition to this invention the Navy now iias well-designed "hookeyes" to which pontoons may be attached to raise sunken craft. Marker bouys have been developed also These .simple to release, mark for sufface boats lhe spot where the submarine lays. These inventions, it was pointed out. would be useless without trained divers to employ them. With the skilled crew which is now being developed, it was said, the Navy has a new feeling of confidence, if and when it is faced again with the prbloem of rescunig trapped men, it expects to be able to act quickly and effectively. o— Lindbergh Contemplates Western Business Trip New Yoik, May 23 —(UP) —A western trip on matters relating to his aviation interests was reported today ap the next probable activity of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, who, with his fiancee, has i eturned from a short stay in North Haven, Me. It would be his last business activity before his marriage to Miss Morrow next month. Lindbergh was accompanied by his | fiancee's mother, Mrs. Dwight W.' Morrow her sister, Elizabeth and con- ! rtance, and Mrs. Morrow's secretary, I Mrs. Josephine Graeme, on the flight I from North Haven .yesterday. o— Killed By Test Train Acton, Ind., May 23—((UP) —His automobile struck by a test train traveling 60 miles an hour, Leonard Patterson, 55, was killed instantly near here.

CONFESSES HE KILLED STEPSON Mitchell, Ind., Man Says He Does Not Know Why He Did It Mitchel). Ind.. May ,23.—(U.R)— Arraigned before Justice Thomas .1. Wood, on charges of first degree murder in conrtection with the slaying of his stepson, James Brannon confessed that he killed the boy, Edward Lucas. 17, by striking him on the head with a railroad coupling pin. • Brannon said he did not know why ho killed his stepson. He also stated that ihe story he first told about, trying to hit a negro during a fight was untrue and had been used only as an alibi. The case was certified to the Lawrence county circuit court. Brannon at first said he and Lucas were riding a freight train when an argument, arose l>etween the boy and two negroes over some sandwiches ami that, in the mixup he attempted to hit one of the negroes, but instead struck his stepson, knocking him out of the car and onto the tracks. Brannon was extradited here from Cincinnati after the boy's body and the bloodv pm were found near here.

Nut-Sweet Flavor I It takes three years to produce Lucky Strike’s flavor. This unrivaled cigarette is a blend of finest tobaccos from each of three consecutive growths—the cream of the crop. Then comes the secret toasting process which in the opinion of physicians makes Lucky Strike less irritating than other cigarettes. This exclusive heat treatment also purifies the tobacco and adds a touch of nut-sweet flavor —appetizing, delicious, different—the earmark of one of the Vorld’s most popular products.
