AQUAP PLANNING LATEST
SPORT ON POTOMAC
New Nautical Recreation Makes
fitting Of Canoe and Plunge
Appear Almost Archaic.

Aquaplaning Is Washington's most
recent innovation In the realm OF
sports.
For a generation swimmers looked
upon the fitting Of a canoe and the sub
sequent involuntary plunge as the acme
Of exciting adventure on the upper
Potomac But this is now considered
almost archaic as compared with the
planning.
To enjoy properly the fascination of
aquaplaning all that is necessary is a
thick plank and a speedy motor boat.
The principal is supposed to swim along
behind the dragging lumber until able
TO board 1t and stand erect. Then the
speed of the motor boat is gradually
increased until the rider is fairly carried
through the air and water at a clip
Of twenty miles The pine will fairly
hurtle along the surface. and II takes
real skill for the erect athlete to avert
a sudden ducking.
Expert Can Stand On Hands.
After proper skill Is acquired and
enough nerve is modified, the expert
uaplanist stands on his hands. al
though so frequent are the spills from
this position that most swimmers are
content to learn the trick OF standing
when. on the treacherous lumber.
The first temptation Of the novice at
aquaplaning is to brace himself by
pointing his toes outward. The pid
rate OF the boat makes the plank por-
pose to such arr extent that the force
Of the water makes the feet slip, and.

and downward. He goes down. comes

"Peace" Apostles End
Rip-Roaring Confab
Pro-German and Pro-Labor Delegates, Some Forty
Strong Decide to End Europes Bloody Conflict
or Force Congress to Do It Right Off the Bat.

A few solemn-visaged individuals
bustled about the Hobbies Of the New
Willard today and conferred with
ono another anent the elusiveness of
world peace and the iniquity of ship
ping war munitions abroad.
The conferees were the hold-over dele
gates to the national peace confer
ence." which met in acrimonious ses-
sion here Saturday and Sunday, and
finally passed a compromise resolution
instructing a committee to do what it
could to persuade the Administration
and Congress to keep this country out
of war and also bring about on end to
Faithful readers are already aware
Of the distressing row which marred
the sessions of the conference. The
conference. 1t is doubtless vividly re-
membered. was held under the auspices
of Labor's National F1eace Council,
which sprang into existence a few
weeks ago with a formidable list OF
OFFICERS. chief among them being Con-
gresham Buchanan and former Con-
ressman Fowler OF Illinois.
Both Pro-Labor Men.
Both of these officials are strong pro-
labor advocates, Mr.. Buchanan being
former president of the Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers Union. How
ever, the American Federation OF La
DOR Is not affiliated with Labor's Ma
tional Peace Council, or vice versa.
Anyway. a conference was held here
and to It came the spokesmen OF vari-
GUS German-American societies, GER
tain officers Of the council. and about
twenty representatives OF farmers or
gani2etions.
The latter were called in by Oliver
Wilson. master Of the National Grange.
Pro-Gcrmsn interests are said to have
paid the expenses of the two days con-
name indicated.
At any rate. the conference stands
committed today to compromise res
olut,on which supplsnted the original
grange delegates. This original reso-
luton, which the rard-fisted and hard
headed farmer delegates refused to
sanction. merely called for Government
control Of all munitions plants and an
embargo on the shipments of arms to
the be1ligerents in the European strug-
gle.
Didn't Know Why.
After two days Of cratory and per-
spiration. the forty-odd peace delegates
some of Vhorp didn't know why they
had been called to meet-got together
late yesterday on resolution which
means much or little. according to the
viewpoint. Then they adjourned.
A committee was named to submit to
the proper authorities the views of the
conference. There are published claims
that the committee was packed with
pro German sympathizers and Labor's
National Peace Council delegates but
that Is neither here nor there. The COM
m'ttee probably will say what it
pleases when It goes up to Congress
this winter-if the war hasn't ended ere
that time.
Former Congressman Fowler denied
that anything had been slipped over"
on the farmer delegates.
He said, however, the resolutions
were very broad. giving the committee
