WHEN A BOAT TIPS OVER
1t is Well for Women to Know What I

Z
Do.
On the question discussed at the pub-
lie baths. whittier a girls skirts if she
fell overheard would buoy her I'D or ORA Q
her down there seemed to be a division
of opinion. Finally, 1t was agreed that
they might buoy her up for a few sec
onds, until the air that was in them es-
capped, but as soon as they were wet
they would tend to drag her down, and
make swimming practically impossible
OF course, how soon they got wet would
depend on the material of which they
were made. Miss Clark, the teacher
pointed out shat when a woman dved
into the water the air under her bathing
skirt formed a big bubble which hamper
ed a swimmer so that she reached back
and pressed it out as soon as possible.
But this same bubble would undoubtedly
tend to buoy up a non-swimmer for an
infintesimal space Of sime. On the 9TH
er hand, this air chamber lasted much
longer in a wet bathing suit than in a
dry one, for in the former the pores of
the material were to a certain extent
i..1ed with water and the air escaped
slowly
The suggestion of an undressing drill
seemed to particularly please DR.. Mosher.
L
cases out Of ten the drowning accidents
are the result of an overturned boat, and
its occupants are not in bathing suits.
The children used to swimming there TN
the lightest possible attire, for except
with the teachers the skirted bathing
suit is unknown, would be hampered al
most to rendering their knowledge of
swimming useless If they were called
upon to save themselves with their high
shoes, two or three petticoats on, and in
the case of the older girls, long skirts
and probably corsets.
It is not that undressing in the water
is particularly hard. Most of those who
swim for pleasure have probably done it.
but the youngsters should be taught that
they can and that in an emergency they
must undress sufficiently to be able to
put their knowledge of swimming to
practical use. One or two lessons would
be all that would be needed. The ma
tron suggested and the suggestion was a
good and practical one. AT least teach
them to pick up the front Of their skirts
and hold them in their teeth to keep
them out of the way. I always do that
