SAILORS WHO CANNOT SWIM.

I'M GRAVE aspect in the discipline of our navy is disclosed by
IN the drowning OF sailors in the Hudson. Many of the sailors
could not swim. Others who could swim were seized and
dragged under by drowning comrades. A sailor who had been in
the service for several years misstepped ON a boat, fell into the
water and drowned. He could not SWIM. The average man has be-
ievd that one Of the first necessary lessons Taught to the naval
recruit was the simple art of swimming, and yet, evidently, the
naval regulations do not provide for this training.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
One of your correspondents recently
complained about the way vehicles are
allowed to stand along the curb at the
-Four Corners" causing inconvenience
10 many persons who are waiting for
cars at that point =
Another condition, which is almost as
bad. is caused by the running OF cars so
closely together on the west-bound
rack that It is impossible to cross the
street when the traffic Is being sent
north or south on Broad street. This
causes a string of cars to extend some
times as far as Mulberry street.
At least six feet should be allowed be-
tween cars to permit of an open pas
sage for people who want to cross the
street. During the rush hours this CON
dition is particularly noticeable, and il
it at this time when the annoyance Is
felt most. A. T.
