About SO Hibernians from Minneap-
oils paid tribute to the new national
leader of the A. O. H., whose author
ity extends over 100000 members in
the United States, Canada and Mex
leo. Rev. M. O'Brien of Minneapolis,
who made the nominating speech at
the Portland convention, where Mr..
Mr.. Regain was elected, spoke on 1.-The
Election of James ]. Regain" He told
his 600 hearers that il any man could
be given credit for carrying the con-
vention it was Mr.. Regain himself.
Praises for President.
IF you went back to the old coun-
try" said Father O'Brien, you could
not find a man better fitted to con-
troll the destinies of the Hibernians
than the man who SO ably represent
ed st. Paul and Minnesota Mr.. Re-
gan has promised to help lift the
thralldom under which Ireland is suf-
fering, and also that he will refuse
to serve for more than four years."
Father O'Brien also took the place
of D. w. Lawler absent because of
illness, and made the address on "Our
Guest. the National President"
The other speakers were Rev. Hi
larry Jordon, assistant pastor Of the
Cathedral who spoke Oh 1.-THE
Church" Father Jord0n spoke of the
duties which devolved upon all Hi
bernians to live up to their faith as a
duty toward good citizenship as well
as to God. He spoke of the glory of
Ireland in her faith, and that this
faith was characteristic Of the Irish
people all over the world.
Daniel j. Keefe spoke on 1.-THE
Pathway of American citizenship"
and told of the vicisstudes of the
early pioneers in America, of the foun-
dalton of the principles of freedom
and of the Irish heroes who took part
in the Revolution and the Rebellion,
and the pride Of the Irish Americans
of the present day in their citizen
ship.
But while rejoicing over this citi-
zenship," said Mr.. Keefe, "let no Hi
bernian forget that he must keep be-
fore the eyes Of the entire world the
sufferings Of Ireland until England
shall relinquish her hold"
John D. OBrien of st. Paul spoke
on ireland" He said: There are
really two Irelands-the real and the
IDEAL"
ireland the Ideal.
"From books and pictures we get
"but when one visits the Old Country
he sees the real Ireland. A traveller
gets into an atmosphere in Ireland
that is entirely different from any 9TH
err country in Europe. The people in
Ireland are the most polite, intelli-
gent, dignif1ed and self restraining
that can be seen In any country on
EARTH" said Mr. O'Brien.
He closed with the assertion that
within short time, through the bril-
lance of the Irish members of Parlia-
ment, Ireland would have Home Rule
The landlords are gone and it is an
easy step from the departure Of the
tyrannical Irish landlord to self-gov-

and to these we will show how to suc- ceed.
 The frog kick consists of drawing up the legs by opening the knees while keeping the heels together; then the lower legs are strengthened out from the knee until the feet which have been slightly turned up meanwhile) are about u yard apart then the toes are bent quickly down and the legs snapped sharp ly together.
 In the scissors kick one leg is held straight, the other bent to kneeling position and whisked back hard beside the other, with the ankle imparting the least outward rotary motion.
 A point which present methods make essential is the dividing of arm and leg movements into distinct and successive sets In former days the people were taught to use both together, but now the arms complete the work of propulsion before the legs are moved at all. It Is only when the hands have reached the chest and are starting forward on the recovery that the legs begin to open and they are not slapped together until the arms are fully extended.
 Modern instructors claim that this sys- tenn ensures the best results because 1t does away with the sudden and complete cneck that occurretEwith the old timing, when legs and arms recovered simulta- neously, as this killed absolutely the mo- F entnm imparted by the combined drives In separating the actions clean run is obtained after each drive, for in sofh cases the body is left in a position that offer very little resistance to the water.
 The last point to be considered and one of vital importance-is the breathing. The reader, if not initiated into the mys- teries of swimming. must have wonder ed. upon being previously told that the

most desirable spot for one to learn in. but any bit of open water with depth of from three to five feet Is almost as good. Many instructors advocate deeper water, and possibly justly; but fin self teaching, the natural timidity of the non- swimmer must be taken into considera- ton. It Is essential to be able to con- centrate ones mind on the many points to be remembered, and this Is impossible when nervous. Even floating devices of- ten fail to restore confidence.
 The growing tendency to recommend land exercises to the beginner Is an ex- cellent one, productive of the best re- suits. The swimming movements can not help but sustain, If properly gone through in the water, and it is long step in the right direction to get the arms and legs used to performing them beforehand. These movements are the following:
 We will assume that the body Is float ing on the water in the prescribed posi- ton, with head the least bit downward, toes point back, arms stretched out in front on the surface, parallel and palms down the waterline cutting between the nose and mouth and sioping off the back.
 The arms propel first. The hands are turned back to back and swept around just below the surface, and parallel to it. describing an arch that terminates when the out stretched arms have passed a little beyond the right angle. Then the hands are rounded into the chest (still palms down. and pushed forward under water to starting position. The back ward sweep must be strong. steady and even; the pushing forward easy and slow.
 The leg drive universally taught with the breast stroke is called the frog kick, but others are available, fact not gen orally realized. Owing to the frog kick

being compulsory in breast stroke racing, there has arisen the belief that 1t is best suited but such is not always the case. Many veterans find more effective the use of the scissors kick.
 easier to learn the breast stroke than any of the more complicated varieties. which, in fact. 1t Is practically impossi- ble for the novice to acquire unaided And since the first object of swimming is to enable one to keep ahoat, 1t would seem sensible to lay a solid foundation with the least possible delay, leaving to the future higher attachments. The longest road is at times the surest. And there is the other consideration that the man who learns how to swim merely as a means of better enjoying his summer irnmersons may like to glide along with head above water, taking in the beauties of the scenery. This luxury the trudgeon and crawl do not allow, for the head Is most of the time submerged. Besides whichs it Is well to remember, that the most modern methods of life-savng are based almost entirely upon the breast and back strokes.
 To the writer it appears wisdom to tackle the breast stroke first even if racing be the objective goal Tn this ar ticle we will consider the readers hay ing reached the same conclusion, and leaving to later date the discussion of the speed varieties. DA
 Two possibilities arise here, that of being able to place one's self In the hands of an expert to be taught. and that of having to tackle the task, alone There is not particle of doubt that a compe- tent instructor can teach one correctly in about half the time that it takes to learn incorrectly unaided. Still many are not In a position to secure good coach

mouth is carried under water in the breast stroke, how the lungs were to be supplied with air The matter is a simple one. The mouth remains sub merged only when the arms are inactive or in recovery; while they are applying power their pressure on the water lifts the shoulders and brings the mouth above the surface enabling one to breathe. Thus, one inhales while the arms are propelling and exhales while they are recovering. And neither func- tion should be hurried. A long, deep intake through the mouth, and a slow gradual output, preferably through the nostris win just ill in the spaces of time occupied by the backward and for ward journey of the arms.
 And speaking about not hurrying brings to mind a bit of advice. Try to remem- Der that in fearing how to swim the old adage, more haste, less speed" is liter ally and in every sense applicable. No eXpert-let alone a beginner-can hope to retain form when rushing through the movements, and form, after all, is the
 IL srceess. Calm deliberation Is the thing that will quickest get you there. Get used to the movements on land, then find your shallow spot and besn with just one stroke taken slowly and firmly; then two or three. Don't att tempt more at the first trial; get up and rest after each attempt. Then gradually increase the number but don't make the early practices too long, certainly not long enough to tire you. And don't tackle artificial breathing too soon; better prac- tice without breathing at all until you can stay up comfortably for at least half a dozen very slow, unmarried strokes.
 Then begin.
 And lastly, never let the idea lodge in your head that because you don't sue ceed at once you are never going to

She Says Ii Takes Servant Girl to Be
 Really Intimate With n Family

Sometimes I feel as if no other folks on earth had quite as good chance to know all the kinds of people on it as servant girls. Maybe policemen do- they're always going into unexpected places, an seein folks in what Miss Lena, which was the fourth from tho last place I lived. called dishabil'. It means not fixed up to receive company, with the parlor dusted. an the lamps filled. an high-heeled slippers an silk stockings on, an hair waved, but just bein' caught in your old shirtwaist with no collar, an your shoes down at the heel. an quarrelin with your mother about something. But, of course, you'd know what dishabil meant without my telin' you.
 Not even a policeman. though, sees the disha billed people the way we serv- ants do. He comes when there's trouble an everything is excitement, an he can't tell whether they skimp on fan-.'y din- ners so as to have a caterer for com pany ones, or whether their underclothes are the cheapest things froth the bar gain counters so as they can spend moro money on the outside ones. It takes 8 servant girl to be really intimate with all the little ways of family. an some- times it's so interestin', ma'am. that you're half inclined to think you'll stay a servant girl all your life, just for the free entertainment you get an then again. you feel so tired of 1t that you'd jump off the pier If you thought you'd have to spend many more days in other peo- ples kitchens.

This eye the right one--which had earned for him the sobriquet of 'Cockeyed Dan, had a strange frozen stare, and always persisted in looking in the opposite di- rection from that in which the left eye was focused. Dan never said anything about his infirmity and no one thought 1t healthy to ask him about 1t.

In undertaking to point out in @ few brief articles the chief characteristics of the various swimming strokes now in general use, showing the individual ad- vantages of each and giving some hints on the best way to acquire them, space forbids enlarging on the many benefits to be derived from the art of natation. Nevertheless, one feels that the subject can hardly be handled fairly without first reminding the non-swimmer that the knowledge and practice of this branch of athletics enable one to enjoy with far keener appreciation the pleasures of bathing, to develop every set of mus cles in the body, to protect one's own life and that of a fellow being in those cases of accident upon the water that are so frequent during the outdoor season.
 And this prefaced, we may proceed to look into the question of how it is best to learn how to swim. The first point to be touched upon regards the stroke that is most adapted to the beginner, a matter upon which opinions vary greatly.
 Unuuestionably the so-called speed strokes are the best for all around work, including pleasure swimming, and those who hold a contrary view. maintaining that the trudgeon and the crawl are only fit for racing, show total igno- rance of the very principles of natation.
 Every successful strolze-and by sue cessful Is meant one that has proved efficient in sprinting as we'll as in dis tance swimming-represents the summing up of the most recent discoveries of the masters of watermanshp in their con stant study of the problem of how to gain the best results in speed and endur- ance out of the forces at our disposal.
