horizontal position and held up by the
clothing at the back of the neck or,
lacking this, by passing the arm over
the chest and using the free arm and
the feet for propulsion.
y conscious individual likely to give
trouble, however, must be handled with
extreme caution, and it is advisable to
swim entirely on the back, as this is
the only position In which control can
be retained. Either lay one hand on
each side of the jaw, fingers pressing
into the neck, or take firm hold Of
both upper arms, or slip the hands I'M
der the armpits and clasp them on the
chest. All three Of these grips insure
against the struggler's turning and en-
ploying aggressive tactics.
The student of life saving will find
it excellent training to practice swim
ming on the back without using the
arms, to engage in occasional bouts of
water wrestling with friends, to at
tempt to carry the latter in the various
ways explained and to do a little un-
derwater work, dropping an object in
depth of eight or ten feet and trying
to dive for it from treadwater start.
These experiments can be made while
pleasure bathing and furnish interest
ing and most valuable entertainment.
A mistake often made even by skill
ed life savers IS to try to perform a
rescue at top speed. This is very poor
policy. The few seconds gained in
reaching the one in danger never i'm
prove the atter's chances, for the res
cuer is out of breath and tired before
the real work-the fight for control and
the trip home-has to be ,shouldered
Far more sensible is it to lose those
few seconds and be able to undertake
the arduous part of the task in good
condition, ready for emergencies.

he may be called upon at any moment
20 perform.
The life saver should bear in mind,
of course, that prevention is better
than cure and make it his aim to APP
proach any enc in danger from the
back, thus avoiding al chance OF being
seized. But this is not always posi-
bic, and the wise plan is to be fully
prepared for anything.
y simple and most effective way has
been devised for Guiding the grasp OF
fear stricken drowners. 1t should be
learned by al. because it has the dou-
ole advantage of furnishing an effort
less means of escape ana also of Civ
Ing mastery of the situation at the
same time. Here Is what to do: AS
soon as the struggler raises an arm to
take hold of you thrust out quickly
your own hand and place it squarely
under the uncovered armpit; then use
this secured purchase to push your
self under water turn sideways, pass
under the uplifted arm and come up
You win find yourself behind your

practically unbreakable grips.

through carelessness or unexpected cir

but to relax completely and remain ali
solutely motionless for a few seconds.
Rot only does the cessation of all move
ment cause an instructive looscninc OF
muscular tension on the part Of the
attacker, but 1t permits the conccntra-
ton Of energy for a supreme effort.

ciation.l
%NHE art of life saving may be
divided into two parts-frst,
the rescue of those in danger
of drowning; second, resusci-
tation. They are really distinct branch
es Of the subject, for, while the rescue
work requires courage, good water
manship and practical experience, re-
suscitation is chiefly a matter Of tech
nical knowledge intelligently applied.
IL will best serve the purpose, there
fore, to treat each part separately.
The first question to be considered
in going 20 the assistance of those
threatened by watery grave is self
protection. Indeed, if the rescuer is
not able to guard against the attacks
Of the one he is trying to save his own
life as well as the others is placed in
jeopardy.
For this reason the education of ev-
cry swimmer, man or woman, should
include q course Of water wrestling.
the breaks taught enabling one to es-
cape the clutches of drowning per
son, the holds to gain absolute control
in carrying struggler to safety
Without going too deeply into the
subject it will be well to touch upon
those particular breaks and holds
which through occasional practice will
fit any one for the humanitarian work

More Men Added to Big
Crew This Week
Two New Triton Lines to be
Built. New Acid Re-
covery House, Etc,

More men were added to the
big crew at the plant of the Du-
Pont company at Barksdale
yesterday and the crew now
numbers nearly 1000 men. The
large percentage os the men are
employed at construction work
and are not employed in the
making of explosives as the re-
port has gone out. The opera
ting crew is about the same as it
has always been.
1t is said that two new triton
lines are to be built at the
dynamite works in addition to
those now under construction.
Numerous other enlargements
will also have to be made about
the plant in order to take care of
the increased output when the
new lines get in operation.
Large sums of money are paid
out every two weeks by the
dynamite plant and business in
the city is booming. Nearly all
vacant buildings in the city have
been rented.

A PIPE DREAM
FROM ASHLAND
Ashland Reporter Has Great
Imagination
Has Story concerning Dupont
Company which is Denied
From All Sources.

So greatly concerned have the
Ashland people and the Ashland
Daily Press reporter become
over the great activities of the
Dupont Powder company at
Barksdale that the people on the
other side of the bay seem to
be having "Pipe Dreams" as is
shown by an article which ap-
peared in the Ashland Daily
Press of Tuesday which was
given great prominence. The
Ashland Press says: "A. nj.
Warden, of Washburn, district
attorney of Bayfield, county, has
asked the attorney general for a
ruling in an attempt to determine
whether or not the E. l. DUPONT
de Nemours Powder company of
Barksdale is violating a state
law in making and shipping ex-
plosives to the allied armies"
When asked yesterday morn
ing if he had made such a re-
quest for a ruling District At
torney Warden said he had not
and that he had not told an Ash
land reporter anything of the
kind. The district Attorney in
timated that the Press man must
have played on his imagination
to get together such story.
The Ashland Press.of Monday
also contained a story of the ar
rest of two spys at the plant
Monday. This story also was
purely rumor for none of the
plant officials or the Sheriff heard
anything until the story appear
ed in the papers.
1t sure seems to be affecting
Ashland to have this great
dynamite plant housing their
employees in Washburn.

Injured in Runaway

Town of Herbster, Wis, which
is located about 80 miles north
of Washburn, was driving to
Cornucopia early this morning
and was coming down a steep
hill when the horses ran away.
in jumping from the rig he was
severely injured.
When the horses suddenly
dashed down the hill Olson be-
lieved it best to jump to save his
life. In doing so, he broke both
of his legs. The ankle of the
left leg is very badly broken,
He is in a serious condition.
The injured man was taken to
Washburn in a rig after the
accident. Riding in a buggy q
distance of thirty miles with
both leg broken is Mr.. Olson's
experience. 1t is not a very
pleasant one.
