HERE'S TRUE FRIEND OF BOYS
Unnamed Man of Ohio City Has Plan
to Eliminate Risks OF the Swim
ming Hole.

Unfortunately, an occasional tragedy
marks the history OF a swimming hole.
Water deep enough to swim in com
fortably is also deep enough to drown.
Nor are natural swimming places, in
creek or river, always as nicely graded
as to depth as the rich mans artificial
pool; when ones in he is likely to be
clear in, perhaps over his head.
This has been usually considered a
necessary drawback in swimming
holes A lad was supposed to take the
risks ordinarily incident to the game
of learning to swim. Like football, it
had its dangers, but its rewards were
esteemed sufficient to justify.
1t has remained for a philanthropic
but unnamed man of Dayton to take
the risk out of swimming holes; that
is, all extraordinary risk. He proposes
to equip the swimming holes of Day
ton with life saving apparatus and
Dayton, being a river town-as read
ers of food news some months
ago will remember-there must be a
good many such holes'and a good deal
of such equipment needed.
Boxes are to be placed along the
river in conspicuous places containing
articles for the rescue and resuscita-
ton OF people in danger Of drowning
Each box is to have a life preserver Of
the jacket type for the use Of persons
unable to swim who wish to help an
other struggling in the water, a ring
life buoy to be thrown to one in the
water, ropes, printed instructions for
reviving the drowning and other para
phernalia of like use.
So wise friend Of boyhood ought
not to insist on anonymity. He should
have statue somewhere, preferably
on a site overlooking the best swim.

WOULD BRIGHTEN A HOME
Possibilities In the Presence of "Old.
Fashioned Grandmother" in
the Family.

One need only scan the Situation
Wanted" column of the daily papers
to find that women workers are wan
dering away from beaten tracks and
trying out their moneymaking ideas.
One finds also that because a wom-
an is getting along in years she does
not meekly resign herself to the no
ton that she has no earning capacity.
She simply sets her wits to work
and originates a niche for herself
one where maturity is the very thing
that is required.
Here is an advertisement which re
Gently appeared in a newspaper:
IAN OLD FASHIONED GRAND
MOTHER wants a position to super
wise studies of school children. in
Guiding music, Latin and reading
aloud; can also do the darning and
meuding at the home"
We can all think of homes where
just such a woman is needed-oh, so
badly,--a home where either there is
no mother or one who is an invalid,
unable to cope properly with the de-
mands of a growing brood Of school
children.
Can't you imagine how valued an
"old-fashioned grandmother" would be
in such an establishment-One who
could mend rents in garments and
draw up the big holes that will creep
into stockings, and hear lessons
1t would not be necessary for her
TO know music aud Latin, Just the
simple branChes--the three Rs" so
TO speak, would be enough, especially
II coupled with the art OF reading
aloud or telling stories when lessons
were done.

BOY WHO SAVED OTHERS DIED
louisiana Lad, Deserving Of Fame,
Belonged to Family Of Lake
Rescuers.

HE saved others, himself he could
not save"
Brave Theodore Bruning III died on
a recent morning after a severe i'll
ness from typhoid malaria. The Brun-
ings, father, son and grandson, all
with the same name, Theodore" and
another son, John G. Bruning, have
been the heroic lifesavers in Lake
Ponchartrain for years. The sons and
the grandson we're born on the shores
of the turbulent little lake that on
slight provocation becomes an angry
and dangerous sea and hurls those
who venture 1t madly against the
shores and swallows them into its
depths.
BY their bravery and skill they
have thwarted the angry waters and
snatched from their fury more than a
hundred persons. Just how many is
not known. because the Brunings new
er considered 1t anything more than
their ordinary work to pick up per-
sons from boats In danger or rescue
those clinging TO upturned sailboats
and skiffs. or to pilings and other
refugees, where they hung in danger
of falling exhausted into the water.
John Bruning said that he believed
about 125 persons had been rescued
by the members of the family.
Theodore Bruning III was young
boy, but had two rescues to his credit.
February 2, 1914, Fred G. Ford, F. Cod
man Ford and Luther Sinclair started
on hunting trip to Nine-Mile Point in
a skiff. A squall struck the boat and
threw 1t against the piling. AS the
boat sank the boys sprang to the pill
ings. Albert Werner, who is related
to the Brunings, saw the boys cling
ing exhausted to the pilings and gave
the alarm. Theodore and his father
hurried to the rescue and we're just
in time to save them. Young Ford
and Sinclair were in the hospital five
days before recovering. The other
rescue in which Theodore Ill took
part was that of three men recently
saved, but whose names are not
known by the Brunings.-New Or

JAPAwS GROWTH AS NATION
cogent Reasons Why Foreign Com
nunitIes In Country Hold IN
friendly Sentiments.

T. Mlyaoka, formerly councillor in
the foreign office. is a widely known
lawyer practising in Toxic and Yoko-
hama. He says:
/ There Is a historic cause to the
growth OF anti-Japanese sentiment
among certain sections of the foreign
community in Japan. During the regime
of foreign consular Jurisdiction foreign
ers regarded themselves as a superior
and a privileged class. The compare
lively infantile stage of Japan's mate
rial civilization, the system of segrega-
Japan, their absolute ignorance OF the
Japanese language and literature, their
exemption from the territorial jurisdic-
tion, all combined to make foreigners
sincerely believe that they belonged to
a much superior type of humanity. The
abolition of consular Jurisdiction, the
resumption Of judicial, fiscal and ad-
ministrative power by Japan over for
eign residents in the country, the re-
suit OF the two foreign wars that ia
Phh hou NobCu tCh NhO
abolition Of the system OF foreign set
Element the growth OF more intimate
relations both commercial and indus
trial between Japanese and foreign
ers, all these facts combined to give
to a much larger percentage Of for
eigners in Japan a more correct and
intimate knowledge Of the japanese
character, things and life.
"On the other hand, the awakening
of the Japanese people to their power.
their aspirations to become a world
power, their keen desire to compete
with Europeans and Americans in the
neutral markets of the world have
created a sense OF resentment among
the minor section OF the foreign COM
munity. Thus foreigners in Japan are
divided into two camps, pro and anti
Japanese, and it is the minority that
makes the largest noise"

But really its principal plank was a
quarrel of Mr.. Roosevelt with Taft.
That makes poor and meager material
on which to found national political
party.
Two years ago Mr.. Taft was wrong,
and so was Mr.. Roosevelt. The division
of the Republican party was the con-
sequence, but the resulting victory of
the democrats only again proved the old
proverb, that two wrongs never make a
right.
Mr.. Taft went wrong on reciprocity.
The farmers protested with the result
that instead Of doors swinging both
ways on the international boundary line
the gates only open towards the United
States. We simply jumped from the
frying pan into the fire.
The people are just beginning to
realize this, through war" taxes and
the free importation of Canadian pro.
ducts. They will vote accordingly two
years hence.

PROGRESS oFrnE WAR.

After three weeks of pounding near
the coast on the Belgian boundary the
Germans have been compelled to with
draw inland. ; British battleships and
the opening Of dykes made the position
OF the German army near the coast un-
tenable, but not until after the heaviest
fighting Of the war. Probably the ex-
treme exhaustion Of the soldiers who
had been constantly fighting for about
tbree weeks at this point, was also a
cause of withdrawal This means that
the Germans have failed again in their
attempt to pierce the lines Of the allies.
Meantime both sides all along the line
for l50 miles make aporadic attacks on
each other. probably with. the idea of
discovering Whether tho lines have been
weakened by the Withdrawals to rein
force the:wings near the sea.
In the east the reports at last some
what agree and in general the Russians
are advancing and the Germans retiring.
On the sea there is more movement.
There has been an engagement near Val.
parasio in South America. Four or five
German cruisers engaged weaker squa.
dren Of British vessels sunk one and
damaged the rest.
A German squadron also appeared on
the coast of England and nearly got a
small British cruiser but she got away.
The most important news Of the week
is that Turkey has declared war and is
6h the side Of Germany. Turkey has q
good sized army even yet, and
some naval force, but nothing to com.
pare with the. armies now in the field.
The entrance of Turkey into the war
may mean the involving Of Greece, Bull
garia. Roumania and Italy in the near
future. Turkey will undoubtedly try
what she can do in Egypt and the Suez
canal.
The German cruiser Emden is still
taking English merchant ships in the
Indian ocean.
After three months, except that the
Germans have over-run and occupy Bel
GUM, there has no decisive advantage
been made by either of the armies. To
us. along with the entrance of Turks, it
means that the war will undoubtedly
continue all winter at least, perhaps even
then with nothing very decisive.
But mall probability time is of advan.
tage to>the allies.
The killed and wounded must now bs
simply terrific in actual totals, but which
ape not known to any one except the high
officials.
