the bath this year than ever before.
The increase of numbers increases the
chances OF accidents. One cannot pick
up q daily paper without reading an
account of a drowning. Death by
drowning seems more frequent this
year than any previous year. This
may be accounted for because of the
extreme and protracted hot weather,
an incentive to take to water. The
conditions that make for safety are
more favorable at the local bathing
pool than almost anywhere else where
swimming is INDUCED in, yet many
citizens, seeing the crowds that daily
flock to the river, have been dreading
q tragedy such as that of Sunday.
This dread has been all the keener
felt because there is hardly a family
in town from which some member does
not take the baths almost daily.
