WATER FLOODS SUIT OF DIVER 35 FEET DOWN Rescued Man Unconscious 15 Minutes: Pneumonia Now Danger. By Uuited Press CLEVELAND, April 2. Thomas Carroll, 48-year-old professional | diver, who narrowly escaped death ! Wednesday in an accident while working thirty-five feet below the surface of Lake Erie, today was in a critical condition, suffering from shock and exposure. Marine hospital attaches said he i had spent a "fairly comfortable night and that precautions were being taken to forestall pneumonia which would develop within three days. The dare-devil philosophy of his j craft was expressed when Carroll, j I after having been unconscious beneath the water for more than } ! fifteen minutes, whispered as he j i was being lifted into an ambulance: j "I've got to go back down and ! finish that piling.” Carroll was cutting away piling > that had raised the Thompson ■ amphibian aeronautical ramp above the level of the lake when his rubber glove became entangled with his saw. The glove was severed from his diving suit and water rushed in the j aperture. He lost consciouness be- j i fore he could signal fellow work--1 men. The rubber glove floated to the { surface and workmen at the con- j trols pulled him up when they caught sight of it. It took firemen half an hour removing water from i his lungs and restoring him to consciousness.

We Still Need Our Railroads A Message from L. A. Downs, President Illinois Cenrial System. This Is a vast country, with long distances to be covered and large areas remote from seacoasts. •Railroads are peculiarly fitted to its transportation needs. * Ra ; !way service, pur- I chases, employment and taxes have contributed greatly to the upbuilding of the country. These contributions must be continued. We stiil need our railroads. Yet many business men are using other methods of transportation, confident that the railroads will somehow get along and be available when needed. This is a dangerous idea. No farmer expects to work his horses and feed them only when he wants to work them. Railroads too must live in order to work. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. . Chicago, April 1, 1931 This progressive railroad has exerted a large influence upon the development of agriculture, industry, population and wealth in the great Mississippi Valley. • ILLINOIS CENTRAL SYSTEM ■ DEPEND ABIC EOR 80 YEARS ■ I Used 3-Pc.
