the oars as close together as you can
and pull them close over the knees
For the beginning Of a stroke put
both oars into the water with blades
straight and sunk in. the water the
width of blade. Then apply power
on both oars at the same time, and
with straight leg drive you will get
a full stroke. AS to the finish of
stroke it is the most important.
LAS you are about to finish drop
your wrist close to the abdomen. BY
turning your wrist this takes the blade
out and feathers the oars. Then
straighten your arms toward your feet
and, by pulling up on the stretcher
with the feet, you will come up to the
end OF the slide.
1.-The seat in the boat is on rollers,
which run on track with guides and
stops, that keep the seat on the tracks.
There are two slippers in the boat for
your feet and they should be firmly
laced. Then you can operate the seat
with the oars at the same time. They
also act as a brace for the feet in
pulling, backing, or turning, and in
stopping a boat they act as a guide to
keep you on the seat.
in all probability at first you will
not want your slippers laced, but they
must be, for when they are there is
less danger of falling out of a boat.
Your feet will come out fast enough,
am sure. for I have learned from
experience.
If you should upset your boat-and
| this will happen to the best of scullers
right your boat first, then cross your
oars under the outriggers, take hold
| of the rigger with one hand, and swim
| for the shore.
when your body is in a glow after
a good row take a sponge or shower
bath, which will cool the body, and
then rub yourself dry with Turkish or
rough towel. You will find your nerves
gradually getting into splendid condi-
! ton, and a sleepless night will be a
thing unknown.
'The way in which a girl is dressed
is an important matter in her rowing
exercise
Before I get into a boat and after
a row I wear a sailor blouse and
short skirt over my rowing suit, which
consists of trunks and stockings COM
bined with a. sleeveless shirt. I have
found this suit to be the simplest and
the best, as it does away with all i'm
pediments and allows free action of
the legs and arms. If you care to-, add
a plain little skirt, and your costume
| is complete.
There are other suits woman can
wear in rowing, but the oarswoman
must remember that if she wears a
skirt of any length it will get caught
in the wheels of the seat, if the bloom
ers are too large they will meet with
the same fate, and if the blouse is
too ample from the waist to the arm
pits it may catch the handles of the
oars; so there you are. A proper
costume such as + have already de-
scribed, will be found to be of much
advantage.
IF, after trying this combined exer-
else and recreation, a girl does not
gain the needed strength, then she is
indeed case for the physicians."-

Pull Lower Jaw for Whooping Cough!
Jacob Sobel gives the results of his
own experience with the paroxysms
of whooping cough treated by pulling
the lower jaw downward and forward.
Pulling the lower jaw downward and
forward controls the paroxysms of
whooping cough in most instances and
most of the time. The method is u.s.
ually more successful In older chill
dren than in younger ones and infants.
In cases without q whoop the expira-
tory spasm with it's asphyxia is gener-
ally overcome, 4and in those with a
whoop the latter is prevented. 1t is
as successful as any single drug, or
even more SO. Mothers should be in
structed in it's use, SO that attacks,
especially at night, might be arrested.
The manipulation Is harmless and
painless. It's only standardization is
the presence Of food in the mouth or
oesophagus. Patients thus treated are
less likely to suffer from complications
and sequelae than those treated only
| incidentally. It Is advisable to try
this method in other spasmodic coughs
and laryngeal spasms. New York
