Another step is to lay him over a

and work them with a circular motion
from the mead to the abdomen and

The AIdrich Attitude.

Thus far the only reply made by
Senator Aldrich to the charges of Sen
atow Bristow regarding his pretty
close connection with the rubber trust
is to call the Kansas man various
kinds OF liar. This may be mighty
powerful exposition" as the old negro
preacher had it, but it is scarcely con-
vincing to the mind of the average
citizen.
If Aldrich cares anything about his
standing before the country he will de-
vote half an hour or so of his adj
mittedly valuable time to making evil
dent wherein Bristow has lied about
him. There seems to be no confusion

III Bill which raised the rates on man

with the big Intercontinental Rubber
Company as director. The concern is
the distinct gamer from his acts as a
United States senator. Is this honor
able on the part of a public servant?
The truth is that men like Aldrich

game of high finance" come at last
to the time of blunted moral Sense and
perverted vision. We may hardly
doubt that Aldrich considers his course

70 RESCUE THE DROWNING
Expert Gives Valuable Rules to Save
Life-Quick Action HELPS.


If the drowning man or woman has
sense enough to do as the would-be
rescuer directs, then all is well and
the lifesaver can proceed about the
work in gentlemanly manner by do
ing as | have always found it best to
do under those conditions. Don't ap-
proach the drowning one from in front.
because that gives him a chance to
grab you. Swim around him until
you are behind and then dart at him
and seize him beneath the armpits.
If you do this in the right way you
will have the man pinioned so that it
will be impossible for him to throw
his arms around you in death grip,
and you can hold him up and tread
water until help arrives, or until he is
convinced that his danger is over, and
has recovered his presence of mind
sufficiently to make 1t safe for you to
take him in hand in the regular SWIM
ming position and tow him ashore.
But if he is beyond reasoning with,
too scared to do as directed, and you
cannot get in position to pinion his
arms in the way have described, then
there is nothing for it but to resort to
harsh measures for the sake of your
own life, as well as his. When he
wriggles around and tries to grasp you
by the neck or reaches for your out
stretched hands, those hands that you
need to keep yourself above water,
then let drive at his nose or Jaw.
Let it be delivered with the object
of rendering him unconscious, for your
own life will be forfeit and the man
will surely drown if you do not adopt
these seemingly brutal, but really hui
name. measures. Punch him good and
hard. and aim for a spot that will
ensure sleep producing effects.
When the drowning man is stretched
out rigid you can keep him afloat and
tow him ashore with as much ease as
though he were Il stick of timber. Just
keep his unconscious head above Wa
ter SO that he can breathe naturally
and push him ahead of You until shall
low water is reached. It's the sim
pIest thing in the world to save an IN
conscious man.
I cannot impress 1t too strongly on
the non swimmer that no man need
drown if he keep his head and follows
these rules: When he falls into the
water he will not sink so long as he
keeps his lungs filled with air. 1t is
only when he gets them stifled with
water that he goes under. This re-
tention of the air In the lungs, to-
gether with the extension of the hands
palm downward on a level with the
breast and few motions of the feet
will keep man on top for half an
hour. and in this time he has many
chances of being rescued.
Instead of doing this, however, a
novice upon falling into the water will
raise his hands over his head and at
tempt to call for help. After he dis
charges the air from his lungs in
the vain shout the lungs get stopped
up by water and then he naturally
sinks

Centenary of Photography.
From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.

From the ST. Louis Post-Dlspatch.
The approaching centenary OF the first
practical results obtained in experiments
with photography has led to a revived in
terest i'm the work of Daguerre and OF
his. predecessor, Niepce. The honor OF
achieving the first genuine success Is
popularity given to Daguerre, for much
the same reason as that which gives
Marconi credit for wireless telegraphy.
There was. however, rudimentary and
experimental photography before the nrst
daguerreotype. The defenders OF The
fame of Niepce are now recalling that
he began his experiments i'm 1914, while
Dagnerre did not begin until 1924. 1t is
the Niepce centenary. therefore, rather
than that of his rival, that is to be COM
memorated.
But the real beginning of experimental
photography Is to be sought for In the
earliest history of chemical research in
Europe. A recent review of the subject
states that the first steps in the art were
taken by the famous Roger Bacon as
early as 1897, when he discovered ths,
properties of the camera obscura, or dark
chamber. Another important advance
was made I'm 1863, when Baptista Porta
perfected the camera. Even before that
time, however, the effect of light upon
certain solutions of silver was known to
the old alchemists, and they were making
various uses of it; some OF which were
of distinctly Photographic character. Thus
the invention was developed by slow de
grees through the years. Today ii ad-
vances by leaps and bounds. How Roger
Bacon would have gasped and stared at
moving picture! But Daguerre prob
ably would find i'm our work a disappoint-
ment of his hopes. He expected photog-
raphy TO reproduce colors as well as
lights and shadows and that is some
thing we have not yet achieved.

RACE TRACK WAR.
Santa Anita to Start in Opposition
to Emeryville.

SAN FRANCISCO, November l5.-The
news from Los Angeles that a sixty-day
meeting will be held at the Santa Anita
| track this winter was the topic of con-
versation among the horsemen at the
Emeryville track yesterday. Many look
, for war, as 1t is known that Tom VIII
| liams, head of the jockey club. does not
intend to let anybody interfere with the
success Of the meeting here. Racing on
the coast has been in a rather pre-
carious state for the last two years, and
turfmen say that strife among the tracks
won't help the sport to any great ex-
tent.
1t is figured that the results of the
election Will help the turf interests, but
how has not yet been made clear. The
track owners at Los Angeles made the
announcement Of resuming the sport on
some alleged promise that there would
be no interference. The business men of
that city have felt that lack of en-
tertainment in the way of racing has d.
verified hundreds of tourists to other
points on the coast, and 1T is claimed that
the Santa Anita owners have the backing
of the business interests in and around
Los Angeles
Whether the Los Angeles promoters will
get sanction Is an open question.
Even II no sanction could be secured, it
is believed here that the southern owners
will start anyway and then take a
chance of having their horses race east
again next year.
