venture into deep water outdoors

primarily, never try to teach your

Opposes Cold Water Theory.
One of the greatest delusions-or
old-fashioned bosh, rs l should call 1t
Wis the prevailing notion that warm
water is ~enervating. l think the ex-
act opposite is the truth, and l be-
lieve in reasonably warm water for
natatoriums and pools. Why should a
person use up his animal heat and
energy in fighting against cold water
when he needs his muscular power to
glide through the water. What child
can absorb instruction while SILVER
ing and shaking with the ciold?
A cold air bath is a splendid tonic
for the skin, but a cold water bath
is "a heat absorber, which I believe is
injurious aside from any effect 1t
might have on weak hearts. For those
who have strong hearts nature will
protect the vital organs against cold
and throw out layer after layer of
adipose, SO the fat will become fatter
and fatter, but the kidneys and lungs
and heart of the thin will suffer from
the abstraction of heat.

(By Hebden II COrsan.)
The old-fashioned practice of throw
ing a boy into the water in an eff
fort to make him swim, is the lazy
teachers method mad should have no
place in scientific swimming instruc-
ton More often than not the boy
thus taught will develop a faulty,
ragged style that in time of emergen-
cy will only add to his liability of
drowning. In addition to the ques-
zion of style and correct stroke, many
persons have been terrified for life
by such a stone age method Of in
struction, and have felt fear of deep
water we afterward.
The proper method of instruction is
for the pupil to be taken to warm,
shallow water, or if the water is over
his head, he should be provided with
water wings. These latter devices
are the most perfect known for aid
ing the pupil to acquire correct
stroke. They hold him up while he
acquires a perfect mott On, and he

fare, was the enormous cotton crop, be-
lieved to exceed 15, ,OOO, 900 bales: the benifi-
cent effect of this can hardly be ovtres-
timated. Already the magnitude of the
crop is serving to bring about more nor
NAL conditions in the lOng-depressed cot
ton goods trade, which is now manifest
ing many signs of revival.
The grain crops were reduced in guam
tity. but were of greater value than those
of 1910.
THE sudden revival in the iron and
steel trade during the last three months
overshadOws in Importance the preceding
depression, especially as it was brought
about by the significant buying Of equip
ment by leading railroads. There was
also late, but pronounced, improvement
in copper.
THE foreign trade was of remarkable
dimensions. and especially notable for the
growth of exports. This contributed
nightly to the strength of the United
States in international money markets.
There was also a reduction in liabilities
of defaulted concerns. This demonstrated
that the position was sound in spite of
changes brought about by new condl-
tions.
1T is noteworthy that last month was
the best Of the year-prOOf of improving
conditions, the progressive betterment
being the best promise for the new year"

New York. Dec. 3O.-According to r.
G. Dun & Co.'S annual review of trade,
the annual conditions, published to-day,
the year of 1911. measured by bank clear
ings and railroad earnings, was under
that Of 1910 This reduction was go
slight, however. that 1t did not indi-
cate any loss of ground, and the trans
actions. as a whole, were of such pro-
portions as to show that the people were
living well.
The review goes on to say. Tine year
just closed was one of reasonable aC-
tfvity for year in which great economic
Questions were the subject of cOntro-
versy at home, and international dis0r-
ders disturbed the peace of Europe, tend
ing to unsettle the international money
market Despite these unsettled condi-
tions inland trade was of more than
fair proportions. and foreign commerce
was larger than any preceding year.
THE loudest complaints came from in
vested capital, to the effect that exist
ing uncertainties made it impossible to
enter into large new enterprises. Never
theless, dividend and interest payments
during the year make an aggregate in
excess of other years.

London, Dec. 3O-The presiding magis-
trate of the Bow Street Police Court
to-day formally discharged J. Howard
Ford. the American who was arrested by
mistake at Dover, at the request of the
New York police authorities, when he
landed from the steamship Lapland. the
police magistrate expressed his regret at
the mistake which had been made and
that Mr.. Ford had been made to undergo
the ordeal of appearing as a prisoner at
the London Police Court
The magistrate also read an expression
of regret from the United StateA Ambas-
sador Whitelaw Reid. who. on behalf Of
his government. said that he desired the
court to express keen regret that an up
right and honorable citizen of New York
should have been subjected to the in
dignity of such an arrest.
The Ambassador wrote that he could
only plead that, in accordance with the
cablegrams received by the embassy.
Mr. Ford seemed to answer to the de-
scrtptiOn and to the name of the man
wanted. Mr.. Reid, who is sailing for
America on board the Lusitania to-day
sent one of the secretaries of the United
States Embassy to the Bow Street Police
Court to deliver personally his letter Of

Ford's character and standing should
have been brought before the court with

William De Alley Will Not

Special to The Washington Herald.
st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 3O.-Mrs. Anada
Evelyn Scherer De Atley and Russell
Hilliard, a vaudeville actor. who eloped
from Washington and were arrested last
night at the Woodford Hotel here on
complaint of the husband, who is pro-
prietor of a Washington hotel threw
their arms around each other and wept
at police headquarters to-day. Associate
Prosecuting Attorney Wilson refused to
issue warrants and they were released.
We left Washington together in
August" said Mrs. De Atley. II played
the piano, while he did a blackface turn.
A man named Lou Walter has been
backing us, and we travelled as the
Hilliard- Walter company, playing vaude-
Vile in small towns. Recently we have
been appearing in small Illinois towns,
and We have lived in st. Louis six weeks.
My mother, who is wealthy and lives in
Washington, has been writing letters to
me regularly
William De AtIey, son of the proprietor
OF the De Atley Hotel, 1922 Pennsylvania
avenue northwest, when told last night
that his wife, who was arrested in St
Louis Friday night in company with
Russell Hilliard, had been released by
st. Louis magistrate, said:
That is because 1 would not go tC
st. Louis TO prosecute her. I could
have sent them both to jail for two
years, but I did not want to punish the
mother Of my SON.
Mr.. De Alley said he never had any
trouble until his wife met Hilliard in
Washington, and that 1t was due to his
kindness to Hilliard, who was in desti-
tute circumstances, that the actor met
Mrs. De Alley.
That actor was down and out on the
streets of Washington, and came in my
place to get some free lunch" Mr.. De
Atley continued. Il felt sorry for him,
loaned him money. and put him on his
feet. The first thing I knew he had
told my wife that she was a great &C
tress and was depriving the world of her
genius by cooking dinner for me. So
the next I heard of her she was on the
stage in Des Moines with Hilliard."
Mr.. De AtIey said he had the pair ar
rested in Des Moines, but that his wife
wrote to their fourteen-year-old son, beg
ging him to plead with his father, and so
he did not prosecute. Recently Mr. De
Alley heard that his wife was in st.
Louis with Hilliard. He wired to Col.
Young. chief of the st. Louis police, and
the pair were again arrested.
Il just wanted her to know I was still
living" said Mr.. De Atley.
Il sent her the sealskin coat and tailor
made dress. that the newspapers say she
wore in the st. Louis Police Court. I
bought them for her long before she met
Hilliard, and when she wrote to her
mother for them from Des Moines, let
her have them"
Mr.. De Alley says he has already
started proceedings in Washington for a
divorce

Among royal authors must be included
| the Sultans of Turkey. OF thirty-fve
Padishahs who sat upon the throne OF
Osman, twenty-one have left verses,
which hardly surprises one, considering
the atmosphere of nargilehs and cadines.
But what does surprise is that the great
est of these Crcwn-wearing poets was
Selim the Brutal. Even Abdul Hamid was
passionately addicted to journalism, only
the journals which he admired and which
were written by his host of spies would
scarcely be recognized by an institute of
journalism. They averaged hundreds
daily and Abdul accumulated a colleC-
ton Of millions of them.
A London journal contains the item that
the King and Queen will not return to
England until the middle of February,
when they intend going to Windsor for
q fortnight, "in order that the King may
have some shooting" 1t would be inter
esting to learn what game the King is
expected to shoot in Windsor Park, espe-
ciaIly in February. 1t is understood that
the royal pair intend to leave India the
end of January. and that they will take
UP their usual winter residence at Buck
ingham Palace. intending to remain there
until Easter, when the holidays are to
be passed, again, as usual, at Sandring-
ham.
One would suppose that after having
been obliged to gaze at so many gems
and precious stones at the durbar festi-
walls adorning the throats, arms, and
caps, &c, of Indian rulers, Queen Mary
would have a surfeit of diamonds and
pearls; for no doubt some Of those
raiahs, maharajahs, gaeckWars, and rahs
possess jewels that far OutshIne the
much-heralded and much-envied treas
ures of Abdul Hamid. At the durbar of
King Edward in 1903 the blaze of gems
surprised even the Indians themselves.
The Maharajah of DaTbangha was then
wearing a necklace which was valued at
d little less than 100000 and which was
considered a bargain at that Besides A
necklace of thirteen rows of perfectly
matched pearls as large as filberts, the
Maharajah of Gwalior disported a sash
depending from his left shoulder to his
right knee the material of which was
hidden completely by similar stones. An
other rajah carried a sword hilt cut from
a single emerald, and in the turhan of
the Nizzam of Hyderabad was the IA
nous NiZZam diamond, which weighs 27
carats, or more than twice as much as
the historic kohinoor.

Following the announcement to-day
that, by order of the court physicians
the aged monarch would not attend
the New Years reception planned for
the royal circle and that his place
would be taken by the heir apparent
