THE LEDGER OFFERS A
WDONTsFORsWIMMER
TO MINIMIZE DANGER
MARROW ESCAPE OF EARL KING
WEDNESDAY FoRclsLY RE
CALLS TIE DANGERS lMmI'
NENr TO THOSE FREQUENT
ING SWIMMING HOLES.
To Keep Cool When Attacked BY
Cramps Is One Of The Most I'm
por,ant and First Lessons to
Be Learned BY ssthers.

In the narrow escape OF Earl King
from drowning In "BIg Deep" Wed,
nesday. as told exclusively In the Led
ger. the management OF the paper
believes IL very timely to publish a
few dont's for swimmers. The SWIM
ming holes about this city are al
ways crowded during the warm veal
er and to minimize the danger
the following suggestions are worthy
OF note by those who seek to cool
off in the "crick."
Cramps are liable to attack the
best swimmers, but they do not be-
come excited. Instead OF swimming
with all their might, using the
eramped member, they stop swim
ing altogether and rest the offend
ing limb.
If the legs, either Of them, be-
come cramped. turn orer on the
back and swim easily, using the arms
and if the arms are attacked, swim
on the back using the legs. II
both OF the legs and arms are at,
tackled, turn oven and float. The troH-
BILE with a novice Is that he be-
comes scared and begins fighting the
water and yelling for help, taking wa
ter into his lungs. The human body
will stay on the surface Of the water
with very little effort if the water
is not allowed to enter the stomach
and lungs.
In rescuing a drowning person, dc
not APPROACH close enough for the
person to grab you while he is strug'
Cling as he viii attach the rescuer
and may cause both TO lose their
lives. Wait till the one in trouble Is
worn out and then approach from the
back and take him by the hair or put
the hand under the chin. Then turn
and swim on the back with the res
cued mans back above the r~escuer's
stomach. Float and swim with the
current till the shore can be reach.
ed with ease or until help IA ar
rive.
Call for assistance as Don as
shore is reached and start 10 revive
the rescued man. Lay him on his
stomach and pick him up by the mid
die to allow the water in the lungs
to run out. At the same time pull out
the tongue. When the lungs are
cleared, turn him over and start "a
working the arms, taking them from
the sides to above the head and at
the same time press on the chest, giy
ing II the same movement as In
breathing. Chafe the wrists and ank'
les. Do not give up. Work for hours
as there Is always a chance to re-
store life.
A good practice for swimmers, or
anyone, is to try to undress in the
water, as It may be Of great value IL
the person is thrown into deep water,
II the boys while in swimming
would practice rescuing each other,
they would soon be able to be of the
greatest service in a case Of drown
