Some Day the Advice Here Given
May Keep You from Drowning!

Some Day the Advice Here Given
May Keep You from Drowning.
The human body weighs pound in the
water, and single chair will carry two
grown persons-that, is, it will keep
the head above water, which is all that
is necessary when it is question of
life or death.
One finger placed upon stool or
chair, or a small box or piece of board,
will keep the head above water, while
the two feet and the other hand may
be used as paddles to propel the body
toward the shore. 1t is not at all
necessary to know how to swim to
keep from drowning. A little expert
ence of the buoyant power of the water,
and faith in it, is all that is required.
We have seen small boy, who could
not swim a stroke, propel himself
back and forth across a wide, deep
pond by means of board that would
not sustain five pounds weight.
Children and all Others should have
practice in the sustaining power of
water. In nine cases out of ten the
hhOwlCukO Lnhb WhdI VIII ouPPoip q
pound weight is all that is necessary to
keep ones head above water will serve
better emergencies than the greatest
expertness as swimmer.
A person unfamiliar with the buoy
ant power of water will naturally try
to climb to the top of the floating OBJ
ject on which he tries to save himself.
If it is large enough. that is all
right. But generally it is not large
enough, and half struggling group is
often drowned in the desperate scram-
bic of life and death struggle to climb
on top of piece of wreck or other
floating object, not half large enough
to keep them all entirely above water.
This often happens when pleasure
boats capsize. All Immediately want
to get out of the water on top of the
overturned or half-filled boat, and all
are drowned except those whom the
wrecked craft will wholly bear up. If
they would simply trust the water to
sustain ninety-nine hundredths of the
weight of their bodies and the disabled
boat the other hundredth, they might
be saved under most circumstances.
An overturned or half-flled boat will
sustain more people in this way than
it will carry. It would keep the heads
of as many people above water as could
get their hands on the gunwale.
These are simple facts, easily learned,
and may some day save your life

Sometimes we see merry-go-round,

Let the board be at least 16 feet long,
and at the center attach, by mortising,
a four-inch post eight feet long, which
is braced in an upright position by
means of wire or small iron chains
passing from near its top to a point
well out toward either end of the board.
In the base of this post a one-inch
rod should be firmly set, and project

O Munce. chief Of the stamp division OF
the postuiiice department and one oi the
best known officials in Washington, was
susnerded from office indefinitely today by
Postmaster General Wilson on the charge OF
taking stamps from the department without
authority and other employees are under sus-
picion The action IL the outgrowth OF the
investigation In the Colman stamp case,
which recently figured conspicuously In
New York City and an order pro nulsated
today by Mr.. Wilson is the first intima-
ton of formal charges against Captain
Aiunce. The charges aver that Munce with
out authority took from the office III which
they were deposited certain sets Of United

gummed perforated and unperforated, and
that subsequently thirty or more sets OF
them passed through a member OF Munce
family without consideration to certain
| stamp dealers in Washington, one OF whom
| Colnan. Was subsequently, arrested witt
| part of these stamps in his possession
Postmaster General Wilson holds that there
| can be no doubt OF the gross improperly o
| Munce's action If not Of its probably Grim
| inality and says II the case were fully made
up he would deal promptly with it and nc
cording TO its merits. He, however, found
the papers incomplete for full disposition
Of the case and has directed a thorough anc
sweeping investigation as to the practices
! for years past OF saving out stamps from
| the department. as necessary to break NJ
the practice and correct the methods and
| to award due punishment at the same tlm'

| The order directs the fourth assistant

and charges connecting employees of the do
pariment with unlawful taking of authority
or traffic in stamps and to report to the

| the cases are ready for action. The order
also directs that safe aud careful regulations
can be made forlhe custody and accounting
/ for all specimens or other stamps neces-
sariy kept by the department and for pre-
| Guiding their abstraction by any employe
! The action created a sensation from its I'M
exnectedness and of Munce's official and

Waco. Texas, March S..-Colector T. ].
Prmm was served yesterday with an in
junction restraining him from collecting
further special school tax from the inhab-
i,ants Of the sixth school district. This
special tax had been levied upon this COM
munity at the request of a large number
OF It's citigens. for the purpose OF better
maintaining its schools, aud IT seems
that another large number of citizens Of
the SANG district objected seriously to
he further taxed for this purpose, hence
the injunction OF yesterday. Mr.. Primm
bad collected In all something Hike
$500 of this fund this being about
two thirds of the entire amount. Tho people
who object to this special taxation Will now
try the efficacy q law to prevent further
payment. and those who have paid in their
special tax will now no doubt endonvor to
secure return Of their funds. II seems.
however, that no law has beon provided for
the repayment of funds so collected, and Tho
probability is that the COOL people of this
district will now have 5000 Of their money
come
Tho case involves the rights of largo
number of the best citizcra of Mclennnn

in which he details an interview with
President Zelaya of Nicaragua, in which
the latter stated that he had taken the
opinion OF Il commission OF three lawyers.
who agreed that the Marine Canal company
had forfeited its concession by It's failure
to do any work for many years. MI Heiaya
then stated to MIR. Baker that the United
States government could take up the en-
terprise He said 1t could be very easily
arranged TO have the contract transferred
to the government of this country as he
had reached the conclusion that only a
great government could put tho work
through.
| II asked the president" says MIR, Bak-
er. III his government had had at any

take hold of this enterprise on condition
that the existing contract should be- gotten
