WOMEN'S INFLUENCE
ON THE DRAMA

ly reckoned upon. Today womans
pos.tion is very different from what It
was twenty or twenty-five years ago.
She Is q free agent. she goes where
she will, seeks diversion In Whatever
quarter she may please; she Is no
longer dependent upon mans advice
or mans protection. Examine any
first-night audience and you VIII ma

Nothing Is easier than for the young
OF the human animal to learn to swim
unless they've been pampered and
neuroticized out of all the natural
ness of youth. Animals swim the first
time they find themselves out OF
depth. The only reason man does not
Is because he's afraid, and, In order
TO save himself from the dreaded
catastrophe, he struggles frantically
to keep half out OF water until 1t be-
comes q matter of chance which half
is above and which is below. This Is
a grave error of judgment, With only
your nose and mouth under, you are
quite as badly off as the ostrich with
It's head I'm the sand, and just a
breath or two Of water In your lungs
dispels what Is left of your senses.
On the other hand, with nose and
mouth out, all the rest OF you can
stay under with impunity, and that's
the whole story.
Now If the foolish human really
insists upon thinking IN such an emer-
gency, Ii is great pity he won't
think on these lines, and, moreover,
if he thinks at all, he must realize
that the human body is apt to be
little lighter than it's bulk OF water.
The proof OF this Is in the fact that
most people can float with the face
out, especially in salt water, provided
all the rest of the body is carefully
submerged Even IL you happen to
be unusually heavy-boned and thin,

Learning To Swim

the slightest movement Of the hands
used like fms will be sufficient Get
that fact thoroughly I'm your head
that only rank stupidity can make you
sink.
Now when 1t comes to swimming
or, at least, swimming SO that you
will know where you are going and
will get there, the problem Is only
slightly different. Turned on your
face or side, more OF less of your head
will have to be out OF water as well as
your nose and mouth. That makes
just the difference between keeping
up without effort and with It. but even
now the least padding motion OF al
most any kind with hands and feet
will insure buoyancy and progress.
have often wondered at the denseness
OF nearly all the would-be teachers OF
swimming who begin by impressing
upon their pupils the complexity OF
the stroke--the regular and most eff
fective movement OF arms and legs
Why bother the novice with such
problems? Tell the learner just to
paddle like dog-any way, only SLOW
ly-to swim dog-fashion, as the boys
call 1t, naturally, as 1t really Is, and
one lesson is usually enough to over.
come al the fear of sinking This
much accomplished, and the strokes
which are better for speed and for
the changing and resting of muscles
can be taught easily enough-Duff1eld

THE MODERN SETTLER.

No longer do we shoot the savage red
Or amputate his scalp-lock with his
head:
Such rough proceedings went on
In days OF Boone and Kenton;
We stab him with an inch OF pen In
stead.
II must have been most unpleas-
ant job
ITO fight the sanguinary inJun MOP
In order to be takers
Oxsaheir expensive acres;
We moderfis have a safer way TO rob.
Our granddads when they heard the
arrows whiz
Went cunning for the nearest paint
ed phiz.
But what's the use OF shooting?
We've conquered 10 by looting;
We've even grabbed the warpath that
was his.
The pioneer had methods very crude
II by the modern standard they are
viewed:
He got his sections charter
BY war or honest barter
fear the early settler was a prude.
His assets were his rifle and his aim,
His courage and his mighty-muscled
frame.
He never knew the science
OF swindling childish clients;
He never learned to work the bunco
game.
So cease this silly worshipping OF
they
Who used mere knife and bullet In
their day.
Come. praise the person able
Who from his office table
Can rob a tribe three thousand miles
away!

Coleridge must be added to the list
of authors who have found inspiration
In dreams, for he himself has told us
that he composed over two hundred
lines of "Kubla Khan" during sleep
OF three hours. On awakening he
wrote down the fragment now exist
ing, but the interruption Of visitor
banished the rest from his mind. The
first idea of The Ancient Mariner"
too, was suggested to the poet by a
dream of his friend Cruikshank. And
Kipling's Greatest Story In the
World" was but the half-remembered
dream of a commonplace young man.
