Only animals with long and dropping
ears are able to wag them. A rabbit.
for instance, can do what It likes with
its ears. dropping one or both and lay
Ing them 6at along it's back when

are still more brisk In ear movements
But short cared beasts. like weasels
and stoats. are unable to wag their
ears In any degree. although they have
enough ear to wag II they had the

Swimming
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Good Old siwash.s

= WINNING is the art OF making a
noise like a fish in the water.
- Man was not designed for swim
ming and is about the poorest perform
er in tine water. when the untaught
man IS dumped into a river he acts
very much like a flatiron and usually
does not survive more than a minute
However. man can be taught 10 swim
IL he is persevering enough and does
not mind getting water I'm his ears,
nose and lungs during the process
After a man has succeeded in keep
ing himself afloat for a few minutes
he becomes very arrogant about il and
goes through life telling non-swimmers
that the art is as easy as breathing.
He also exhorts all mankind TO learn
how 10 swim for self-prOtectiOn and
severely criticizes those parents who
do not take their boys and girls 10 the

There is much to be said on the value
Of swimming. II q man knows how to
swim ne is much safer while on the
water in steamers which are equipped
with castiron life preservers. He also
feels better during a storm on the
deep. knowing that land at the worst,
is only 5000 miles away. He IS also so
safe in a rowbOat that he usually hand
leaps himself by putting on heavy
hunting boots and going out in weather
which causes the timid landlubber to
sit on the shore and hold onto a tree
for protection.
About this point the swimmer begins
to become too blamed safe. Half the
lives which are saved from the hungry
deep are saved because Of a knowledge
Of swimming. while half Of the lives
which are lost are lost because OF that
same knowledge. When a man has
