Convenience in handling and better protection are claimed for a rubberized life-saving suit invented by a veteran of World War I, Capt. S. Kronhaus of Los Angeles, Calif. It costs less than the old-style cork" preserver, weighs only ten pounds, can be folded into a space smaller than a lady’s overnight bag, and can be put on in less than two minutes. It is said to permit ease in maneuvering and keeps the occupant warm and comfortable. A special pocket can carry enough concentrated food tablets to sustain a person for weeks if necessary.
