Drowning From Fright.

From the New York Herald
AT this season of the year, when every
Monday morning there is the report of a
series of deaths from drowning. the re-
cent emphatic insistence of athletic direc-
tors that fright is a potent factor in
many OF these cases is very timely. The
drowning usually is said to be due to
cramps. but cramps seldom prove SO Grip
piing of themselves alone as to make the
swimmer helpless unless fright paralyzes
effort
1t is well known that individuals who
have been submerged for half an hour or
more may yet be restored to life by prop
erly directed efforts. This is an index
that submersion took place in the midst
Of fright severe that II actually
stopped the heart in its beating and
thereby prevented the attempts at
breathing which would have drawn water
into the lungs and caused true drowning
and death.
Undoubtedly the instruction to keep
ones head as far as possible in spite OF
the cra;np will. if followed, save many
lives. 1t is possible to float almost with
out effort. Many a person taken with a
cramp has saved himself by presence of
mind. To be forewarned is to be fore
armed against the danger of collapse
from scare, which adds so much to the
risk.

CARRANzA STANDS PAT;
He WILL MAKE NO TERMS
Refuses Amnesty. and Tells Our
State Department There Will
Be No Excesses.

Carranza stands pat on his assertion
that he will grant no amnesty nor agree
to any restrictions until after he is
actually in control of the government
in Mexico City and that then the con-
stitutionalists will grant any conces-
stons they may see fit.
This is embodied in his reply to the
protestations of the State Department
that he should confer with the repre-
sentatives of Carbajal respecting terms
for the occupation Of the Mexican
capital
He promises. however. that no eX-
cesses will be countenanced and that
the constitutionalist regime Will act in
strict accordance with the laws of war
and the usaEes of civilized nations.
His reply was embodied in the fol-
lowing statement from John r. Silli-
man. special agent of the United States
government at Saltillo:
"Excesses will not be permitted and
the conduct of the new government
will be determined by what it deems
for the best interest Of all those con-
cerned. This conduct will be in strict
harmony with the laws Of war and the
usages of civilized nations under SIM
liar circumstances"

MANY SICK ''K|DD|ES"

For the first time since it's organiza-

camp. conducted under the direction OF
Camp Good Will managers, has been
filled to overfiowing the past week. and
it has been necessary to put the SICK
little youngsters temporarily in bath
tubs to sleep. The cot equipment has
been enlarged. however. and the new
youngsters Will soon be accommodated
in the regulation beds. ......
One of the main matters for en-
phasis at the camps has been the sub
ject of toothbrushes. No end of amuse-
ment Is afforded by first introductions
to this prophylactic measure. When the
different camp parties have returned
this year 1t was not an uncommon oc-
currence to have some youngster an
nounce: "Oh, 1 don't need no new tooth
brush: I saved my last years one and
it is just as good as new Clean bodies
and clean faces and scrubbed teeth are
things that are hammered home every
day. and the habit is quite well ground
ed before the youngsters leave camp.
