Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-08-03

This summers girl will know how to
| swim if one may Judge by the number
of young women TO be found in the
| Turkish bath tanks at unnaturally
early hours in the morning practicinS
| fancy strokes or sometimes taking les
sons from an attendant.
Oddly enough. these girls say they
learn more quickly in the tanks than at
the regular swimming schools. At the
schools most of the teachers use cork
| floats or trolley belts, and for some rea-
son or other women fail TO gain conf
deuce while they have these artificial
supports.
Il don't believe in the cork floats"
said n Turkish bath attendant who
numbers many New York women
among her swimming pupils. They
give some aid I'm acquiring the proper
movements. but they fail to give the
learner confidence in herself ut the very
beginning. Once she has learned with
belt she must begin and learn all
over again without it.
1.-The best way is to learn in tank
before going into deep water a all. The
very first lesson i'm swimming is 10
make the pupil confident. If she strikes
out in n tank, she knows that If she
goes under she has only to pick herself
up again.
Sometimes l have stretched rope
half way across the tank and have
shown the learner that it is possible TO
reach it from the steps by pushing the
foot back against the steps as one
starts. Once this has been done sue
cessfully and the swimmer has caught
the rope at the end of the drive she has
learned an important lessOn-that is,
that the water will bear her up if the
body is properly poised.
women learn TO swim easily enough,
but they are slow in acquiring style.
They will not go slowly enough. and
they never. or ut least very rarely. I'M
derstand the impetus that sends the
body along through the water. They
depend too much on the hands and legs.
But style i'm swimming means much
besides being graceful, for il indicates
courage GOODNESS, self confidence and
thorough enjoyment of the exercise.
Women soon learn to use their arms
gracefully, but their leg movements
are wild and terrible. To cure this
have often had swimmers hold on to
the side rail of the tank and practice
the leg stroke only. Sometimes l take
the pupils feet in my hands and move
the limbs automatically in the proper
time, counting for each movement. Aft
er guiding the pupil I'm this way she
will count as she swims alone and
finally masters the motion.
The grace of swimmer largely de-
ponds on the power and sweep OF her
stroke. The hands. pointed directly
ahead. should be held together while
the swimmer counts one slowly after
bringing the finger tips in touch. Rest
ing on the stroke for this one moment
allows the body to drive ahead from
the impetus given by the kick. Most
women part the hands Immediately on
touching them and thus waste force
and retard their progressively York

snrnh.s ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

Sarah Bernhardt's accomplishments
are so numerous and varied that one is
quite bewildered at so much talent in
an individual. But, then, there is only
one Sarah on this little planet. She is a
painter and sculptor of merit. At the
exhibition of 1900 one of her most pa
thetic pieces of sculpture was called
"Apres lie Tempete." She has written
several plays. which have been brought
out in Paris. and is also the author of a
variety of books, including novels.
When at her country house at Belle-Ile-
sur-Mer, in Brittany, she is found fish
ing and boating when she is not play
ing tennis or cycling.

The New ECONOMY" Trick.

1t is a wise husband who gives his
wife only new bills fresh from the
bank. There are many wives who are
always kept in fresh bills, and perhaps
no one has surmised that there was
method in this. 1t is a woman who
has given the man away at last.
II spend twice as much money when
/ have old bills as when 1 have new"
she says. Il simply hate those dirty
old bills. 1 can't bear to have them
in my purse, and take the first oppor-
tunity to get rid of them. When 1
have new money. it is so crisp and
clean that it is a pleasure in itself, and
think twice before 1 buy anything
which will take ii away from me-

The turquoise just now is enjoying
any amount of popularity. Those who
cannot afford the real stone buy imi-

the throat or waist and sometimes on

EXPERIMENTS WITH PINES.
New Work for the south Undertake
en- by Forestry Bureau.

DR.! Charles H. Herty has been ap-
pointed to a position in the United
States Forestry Bureau and has re-
signed his position as adjunct profess
sor of chemistry in the University of
Georgia to accept it. The appointment
has grown out of a careful study of
the pine tree made by DR.. Herty.
Last summer DR.. Herty was in Sa-
vannah to begin his study of the pine
He secured aid from Mr.. John r.
Young, Mr.. w. c. Powell and Mr.. J.
B. Chestnut, all of whom are in the
naval stores business and practical ex-
perts in everything appertaining to the
pine tree. The people in Washington
grew so interested in the partial re-
suits obtained through DR.. Herty's in
Vestigations and experiments that they
made him an offer to carry on the
work on larger scale and devote all
of his time to it,
1t is probable that an experimental
station will be established by DR..
Herty somewhere in the Southern pine
belt. The Forestry Bureau regards
the work in connection with the pine
forests of the South as one of the most
important problems now under its con-
sideration.
DIR. Herty will probably be in Sa
vannah this week for a conference with
gentlemen in the naval stores bust
ness upon his work

BaIdwin-This viii BE FOrthcom-
ing.
The city's claim of $6,459.45 against
the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope Railway Company will be paid
to-day. This statement was made yes
terday by Hon. Pope Barrow, attorney
representing President George Parsons
of the street railway company in the
case. President George J. Baldwin of
the Edison Electric Illuminating Com
pany has been out of the city, but is
expected back to-day. Mr.. Barrow said
that Mr.. Baldwin's return would mean
the payment of the money.
Mr. Barrow would not discuss the
contingency of the possibility of Mr.
ANA0NAAi NV ACoCHlIlS Tie CITY ny HOOu
to-day. He was asked If, in the event
that Mr.. Baldwin did not return, a
request would be made that the city
authorities withhold further action
until he may put in an appearance. To
this Mr.. Barrow simply answered that
the money would be paid.
Mr.. Baldwin's connection with the
case, it is understood, grows out of
the prospective merger of the Edison
Electric Illuminating Company and the
Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope Railway. 1t was thought posi-
Bile, it is said, that the payment of the
city's claim by the latter corporation
would mean the refunding of the
money to the consolidated electric COM
pany, should the United States Su-
preme Court, wherein the question at
issue between the city and the street
railway company lies, decide in favor
OF the latter. 1t is said that Capt. j.
II. Johnston, treasurer of the Savan-
nah. Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Company, refused to pay the money,
when demand was made by City Mar
shall II. r. Dreeson, for the reason
that he wanted it clearly and definitely
understood that, should the case go
against the city, the money would be
repaid to Mr.. Parsons or what are now
the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle
of Hope Company interests. This as
surance will be given by Mr.. Baldwin
Mr.. Barrow's declaration that the
money will be paid to-day relieves the
situation, which had threatened to be-
come somewhat strained. While Mayor
Myers would not say as much, when
questioned by representative of the
Morning News, it was stated positively
day before yesterday that, in the event
the money was not paid by noon to-
day, the levy upon the company's
power house, would extend to the clos
ing up OF the power house and the con-
sequent tying up of the street railway
service

ROBBED HER EMPLOYER.
CoIOred Domestic Charged with
Stealing VaIuables.

Mary Dudley, a negro employed as a
domestic at No. 112 Harris street. east.
will be given a preliminary examina-
ton by Recorder Myrick in Police
Court this morning on a charge of
grand larceny. The woman is alleged
to have stolen clothing and other arti-
Giles from the house to the valuation
OF more than $50.
The woman was arrested by Patrol
man Broom and the case was turned
over to Detective Wall to work up.
The officer has secured evidence enough
to warrant him i'm presenting the pris-
oner to the Recorder. Most of the
property stolen belonged to the late
Mrs. NJ. L. Linville. and after her
death was stored in the house. The
woman is alleged to have broken open
boxes and trunks and to have taken
the articles away at different times.
Much of the stolen property was re-
covered by the detective
