Hes in the water every minute or the time with his pupils-from o'clock in the evening until :15 at night, working with them, instructing them, and seeing that there is no danger possible for even tho greatest novice.
 T guarantee to teach anybody, man, woman or child to swim in three les sons,' said Professor Davis profoundly, "or they get their money back
 'Is it a trick?" I asked, Tor what?"
 Tt isn't a trick" he said emphati- cal1y. q don't know that you'd say it is scientific. either, but whatever it Is it does the work, and that's all that is necessary. I've taught 164 paid pu- pills. besides dozens of others who have been instructed without cost this sum mer since I've been at East Lake, and there is not one who has not been entirely pleased. I always ask the rupils If they are satisfied; that's what counts Last summer in St. Louis I taught 2S4 pupils in nine weeks
 Don't you ever fal?' I asked.
 Never" he said peremptorily.
 Do you just throw them in I asked ''and tell them to swim or sink"
 Not at all," said Professor Davis. 'They sometimes take you at your word and-sink. No; my plan is this I take a pupil and tell them to start out per fectly naturally; just the way that swim- ming comes most naturally to them. In two minutes I can see by the position of their body and how they balance them selves whether they incline to the right or the left. what the best stroke is for them and then I begin to work on that principle. Many teachers will teach every pupil the same stroke,i say the breast stroke. Now, while that is good for some swimmers, it isn't for others. It is a fine salt water stroke, but for still water it is very poor. One pupil can do an overland stroke better than a side stroke, am other breast stroke better than swim ming dog fashion.
 "The main thing in swimming is to swim deep. To keep the body under water" he continued. T get my best results in teaching from the fact that realize that the human body is naturally bouyant. The human family is inclined to swim I never bother pupil with strokes and details. Every form and body differs from another, and each must be studied. Swimming should be pleas ure, not hard work, as most people make

Is It Proper?

Dear Miss Blake: | am a girl of IS and am engaged to a young man 10 years my senior. have been engaged to Linn only two months. and since then all he can think of Is wanting to hug and kiss nc. have been taught that this was very improper. He says he knows he is right. Now, I love this man dearly, but cannot condescend to<allow him to kiss me. What shall L do? LITTLE POLLY"
 If you are engaged to be married to the young man it is not improper to allow him to kiss you. I think you are prudish not to allow him to kiss you at all. It could not be a "condescenson" on your part to allow your fiance to kiss you if you really loved him. However, it isn't wise either to allow too much display of affection, even between engaged couples

She's DeceitfuI


 Dear Miss Blake: Please tell me if you believe a husband is safe in trusting wife who tells falsehoods to her hus- band continually. We have been married for nearly 20 years and instead of ao- ing better she seems to get worse. She Is the best of wives in every other re- 'spect, but it seems that she must be de- ceitful. It seems that she cannot help it. am so disgusted with this trait that sometimes l wish I could fly to mansions in the sky HOPEFUL
 Decetfulness is indeed most repre- hensible trait. Have you talked things over with your wife in level headed manner. Perhaps she does not realize how many heartaches she is causing you If she has proved to be good wife in every other way for 20 years surely you can put up with her. or find some way of breaking her of this trait. You can accomplish anything with love.
