can swim will be given a test and
each record will be kept. After the
series of instruction is completed the
best swimmer in the grade schools of
the city can then be determined.
1t will also make it possible to learn
the number of youths who can swim.
There are probably 600 youngsters be-
tween 10 and 10 years of age now
attending school here and it would be
interesting to know just how many
could handle themselves in the water.
When asked to give his opinion, Sup
erintendent Jones said he did not be-
lieve there were more than SO young
sters who could not swim. Many
think this is a high percentage and
that one-half would be closer.
Mr.. Applegate has undertaken the
scheme in order to. learn the boys
how to swim and to keep the Y. M
C. A ard the work it is doing before
the youngsters. All boys will be in
vited. The announcements will be
made in the public schools in the
near future.
1t is possible that some merchant
will be asked to donate cup for the
school having the highest percentage
of swimmers, while others have sug-
gested that the boy proving himself
the best swimmer, be awarded cup.
These matters remain to be worked
out later, however.

BERLIN, April 12.-The great strug-
gle for supremacy between the three
leading airship systems of Germany

Gross-will advance a step during the
army airship maneuvers which COM
menced at Cologne on Monday last,
and will last for six weeks, for the
Zeppelin II, Gross l, and Parseval Ill,
are all taking part, and important de-
velopments in the progress of the air
ship, as an instrument of war, are be-
ing tested.
At these maneuvers experiments are
being carried out with the new aerial
guns. which have been specially de-
signed for use on board these vessels.
and for the first time in the history OF
the world the stiffness of the skies is
broken by the sound of whistling shells,
bearing death and destruction, hurled
from a speeding aerial monster to the
earth.
The bomb dropping experiments,
which were a feature of the aerial
maneuvers carried out in the autumn
of last year at Cologne, are being con-
tinued and the progress of wireless
telegraphy as applied to airships will
be further tested.
But one of the most interesting de-
velopments to take place this year IN
connection with the conquest of the air
will be the Introduction of the airshlp
into the German army. Which system

size, public opinion is in favor of the
new Parseval III. but the Cologne ma
neuvers are likely to have an import
ant bearing on the choice.
Pocket Wireless Invented.

pressed by the rates of the telephone
trust will be overjoyed to hear that the
DAYS of exorbitant telephone charges
are numbered, thanks to the genius OF
Cerebotani, who has just perfected
pocket apparatus for wireless tele-
graphy. Simply by carrying a small
apparatus in ones pocket one can send
and receive all sorts of telegraphlc
messages
The telephone will be doomed. Let

NAY, NAY, SAYS KERN
Has No Desire to Grace Senate Halls
-"Powerfu" Interests Against
Him,

INDIANAPOLIS, April 11.-John w.
Kern, national democratic candidate
for vice president in the last national
election, today issued a statement in
which he reiterated his intention of
not becoming candidate in the
United States senate.
Mr.. Kern gives two reasons for his
determination not to enter the race.
The first is that his business engage
ments and his duty to MS family
would prevent him making the cam
paign. His second reason he states
as follows:
Il have incurred the displeasure of
certain powerful interests, notably the
brewery interests, and my candidacy
if [ were so situated that 1 could be
candidate, would doubtless provoke
contest in some respects similar to
that of two years ago, when under
the cover of a secret ballot those in
terests brought about my defeat"

it will prove most useful addition to

And the invention, according to Pro-
lessor Cerebotani, is the result of a too
vivid imagination. A French journalist,
who was apparently in the habit of ex-
aggerating, credited the learned ana
world famous professor with having
invented a system of wireless tele-
graphy suitable TO rpocket use. The
professor received offers from COM
mercial syndicates al lover the world
offering to buy up his invention for
enormous sums.
He had to refuse because the French
journalist had credited him with an in

But it opened his eyes. He set to work,
and today the whole world is startled
by his new discovery.

Germany sees American Art.

The exhibition of American paint
ings opened here by the Crown Prince
some three weeks ago has given rise
to a lively discussion as to whether
there is such a thing as a typical
American art.
The discussion was really started by
the author of the catalog of the exhibit
ton, who very bluntly writes:
America is a country without an art
consciousness common to the whole
people. Fundamental esthettc principles
have never been recognized there.
There is no National American art,
and no development Of it can be traced
in the history of the art of the New
World. There is no esthetie tradition.
Instead of growing out o fthe soil, it
had to be brought over sea from for
eign countries. AS new as pin. or
like ready-made garments. it was i'm
ported from European workshops, in
stead of developing through the centu-
ries in lonely mountain valleys or peas
ant cottages to full and distinctive
life. Only with the approach of the
American people to being a really no.
