the soldiers wore them In the world
war and after all It Is Just going
back to what our forefathers start

proval of the Indiana state board

CAN FISH SWIM?
SEALS MUST BE
TAUGHT, CLAIM
Seattle, Wash., (IP Young seals
have to be taught to swim: they
don't take to the water like ducks or
fish.
Dr. George Haley, professor of
biology at St. Ignatius 'college, San
Francisco, brought that Informa
tion with him when he returned
here after a tour of the Prlbiloff
Islands, where a federal survey
showed 900,000 seals this summer.
"A young seal thrown in the water
will drown," Dr. Haley said. "They
must be taught to swim, taking it
by degrees at their mother's sides."
The seal population on the is
lands has been steadily increasing
since the United States. Great Brit
ain and Japan reached an agree
ment toward the protection of seals
foraging off the islands, he reported,
the rockeries will eventually reach
their maximum population of 4,000,
000. he believes.
Dr. Haley returned here on the
federal boat Penguin, which carried
$1,000,000 worth of seal skins con
signed to a St. Louis fur company.
The United States receives a per
centage of the profits and gives 10
per cent to Great Britain and 5 per
cent to Japan as part of the protec
tive agreement.
Since the three nations agreed
to protect the teals against wanton
hunters, the population of the Is
lands has lncreaed at the rate of
about 7 per cent annually, Dr. Haley
reported.
Seals spend their winters off the
coasts of Washington and Oregon,
returning to the Prlbiloff Islands
during the summer.

FAILURE, CLAIM
OF SOCIOLOGIST
Los Angeles (LP) Treatment of
criminals under the present prison
system In the United States has
failed to accomplish its objective
and should be supplanted by a more
modern and scientific method, ac
cording to Dr. John Lewis Cillin,
visiting professor of sociology at the
University of Southern California.
"We have been sentencing a crim
inal on the unscientific principle of
'what he has done,' when we should
take into consideration 'what Is the
matter with him?' " Dr. Cillin con
tends. The courts should decide a law
breaker's guilt and on conviction the
criminal should be placed in the
hands of a state board of experts for
correction and should remain in
charge until cured, the doctor be
lieves. "States whose sentences run from
one to 10 years and one to 14 years
are progressing, but a legislative
body is not qualified to decide If the
maximum sentence is sufficient for
the criminal's treatment. This
should be left In the hands of qual
ified scientists."

TEACH NAVYMEN
USE OF WIN
PRESSURE TANK
New London, Conn. IIW The navy
is slowly but steadily going about
tbe huge task of training Its entire
submarine personnel in tbe use of
tbe "lung," underwater respiration
device by which men may escape
from the depths.
In order to simulate actual depth
and pressure conditions without sub
jecting the men to the dangers of
actual escape In the ocean, naval
engineers are building a tall tank
which may be flooded and entered
through a lock at the bottom.
The tank, equipped with a spiral
stairway leading to a platform at
the top, towers 12 feet high over
the submarine base here. When
flooded to the top It. holds 240,000
gallons of water. .
When tbe tank la pumped full, a
group of sailors to be trained will
enter the control room or lock at
the base. The room will be dry
when they enter and they will study
tables attached to tbe walls telling
when to breathe while ascending
and how many breaths to take at
certain stopping points. Then they
will attach the lungs and turn val
ves to flood their compartment
When the pressure within equals
that without, they will open an es
cape hatch, similar to that being In
stalled on some of the newer sub
marines, and send up a buoy carry
ing a heavy rope, knotted at the
points where they must pause for
decompression In order to avoid 111
effects caused by too rapid a change
of pressure.
The tank will enable tbe navy to
speed Its training program. The
program of the submarine force
calls for every officer and enlisted
man to be experienced In use of
the escape device.
