The old Summing Hole
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF "At Good Old SlWash-7

tn He swimming hole has contributed
more to the literature and Obit-
uaries of this nation than almost
any other feature.
No town is complete without a swim
ming hole. And no swimming hole is
complete without a small boy, clad in
a careless joy and trying to see how
much water he can get into his lungs
without permanently impaIring their
usefulness.
There are thousands of water holes
which have all the natural advantages
of swimming holes except the small boy.
A water hole IN the African wilds lar
removed from the nearest grade schools
is a great waste of natural resources.
When we think of the COUNTLESS holes
of this kind which exist while at the
same time there are hundreds of towns
which cannot get rid of their surplus
boys except by blowing them up at great
expense on the Fourth of July we mar
vel at the earelessness of nature
Next to the small boys the greatest
necessity for a swimming hole Is a small
boys mother. A swimming hole which
is not thus equipped is tame and I'M
DatrOnized. The small boys mother adds
the finishing touch of danger to the
swimming hole. If there were no mothers

to object to swimming holes and to run
their suspicious fingers through the
small boys hair when he comes home at
night with mud between his toes and
one shirt arm carefully hidden inside
his coat sleeve because it has a hard
knot in it, swimming holes would
hardly be worth while.
The swimming holes OF America have
produced millions of good swimmers.
They have also produced large numbers
of boy angels. Every boy should learn
to swim so that he viii be able to res
cue other boys who are learning to
swim But there aren't any graduating
exercises IN the swimming hole school.
The great trouble with the American
swimming hole is its wasted usefulness.

CORRECTING A CLIFTON sToRy.

Some two weeks ago the Ell Paso Times
published, as news, a story purporting
70 tell OF the finding of part of hui
man BODY IN Chinese restaurant in
clifton, Ariz. An Ell Paso advertise
used the Illness story in his advertise

son The Herald gives space to a cor
