too much ambition. Take only a few
strokes at time, then pause for a
brief rest and gradually increase the
number.
Take note at this period of which
arm you are inclined to use first,
whether the right or the left, for 1t
generally indicates on what side you
will swim easiest, and try on and of
SO to adjust your breathing that you
inhale when this arm is driving and
exhale when 1t is recovering. e.,
moving forward from hip to above
head.
AS soon as you find yourself able to
travel along comfortably for ten or flf-
teen yards it is advisable to take a
short trip into deep water, for this will
convince you that it is just as easy to
swim there as where you have foot
ing.
This point gained, return within your
depth, discard all support and try to
swim few strokes unaided through
your own efforts. Most beginners sue
coed then and there, but do not be dis
couraged II you prove the exception.
Some individuals lack natural buoy
ancy and need longer schooling.
At all events, after few attempts
at swimming unsupported, whether
successful or not, resume the water
wings and start studying the leg ac-
ton.
, 1t need be explained here that, al
though the legs have not 80 far been
knowingly used, they have not been
totally idle. The muscular system of
man is so inseparably correlated that II
the legs are held without tension while
swimming the elementary crawl they
will follow instinctively the heavy al
ternate swing of the arms, each beat
Ng gently downward as the opposite
arm drives. thus laying the foundation
for correctly timed trudgeon or crawl
kick.
In bringing the legs into play volun-
tarily, therefore, 1t is only necessary to
emphasize the movements unwittingly
developed. having care. however. not

a matter of record that the method has
produced racing swimmers Of cham
pionship caliber in half the time for
merly needed.
The claim is made that some people,
and particularly those beyond early
youth, cannot or will not take up the
modern strokes The point is conceded,
although the number is negligible. But
why not use the underwater side
stroke with such pupils. as do pro-
gressive instructors? 1t is easier to
learn, Just as comfortable to swim
and decidedly more valuable In every
way.
That any pleasure bather should
knowingly prefer the breast to the side
stroke Is hardly conceivable. The I'M
derwater side stroke can be swum
with head raised and arms always sub
merged, yet it requires far less effort
and yields greater speed.
As to the efficiency Of the breast
stroke in life saving, it need only be
mentioned that the modern types allow
one to reach the person in danger a
good deal quicker and that the safest
and best way Of carrying the rescued
ashore Is to seize them from behind
and swim on the back.
Having thus disposed Of the once
classic stroke, We may take up the sub.
ject Of teaching the principles OF nata-
tion through the elementary crawl
which can be strongly recommend.
Cd for the great majority Of begin
ners.
The method is simplicity itself and
has the advantage OF being available
to those who are not In position to
secure the guidance of coach. While
1t is advisable, when possible, to learn
to swim under a competent mentor,
for it is difficult for the novice to tell
whether he is following correctly the
given rules, there is nothing to prevent
lny one from gaining moderate pro-
ficiency through self instruction by
means of the elementary crawl. Here
is how to go about 1t:
Stand first on land, bent forward
from the waist so that the upper body
ls almost horizontal, approximately on
the swimming plane. Then proceed
to rotate the arms alternately and con-
Hnuously. Each starts from alongside
and moves back and up, passing over
the head and driving forward and
down, then grazing the hip and repeat
ing the same circuit. The action Of
the arms should so be timed, relatively,
that when one is raised to its highest
above the head the other Is brushing
the body, fully lowered.
A very few minutes of this exercise
win give a clear idea Of the only move
snents to be performed at stage Of

AN ECHO OF MUNTER
THE BIRD MAN

Munter, the bird man, who delight
ed the thousands of visitors at the
Blackfoot fair in September, has just
recently met with a startling acct
dent at Lake Washington In the sub
urbs of Seattle. The following ac-
count of the wreck taken from a
Seattle paper is made the more in
,teresting to Blackfoot people on ac-
count of his having been here and
from the further fact that Frank G.
DeKay, one of the Blackfoot boys,
wanted to travel with him, and since
he has been attending the university
there he has completed arrangements
for 1t and was to have gone up with
him the next trip following the one
in which the big seaplane was wreck
ed:
In trying to turn at an estimated
speed of between so and 70 miles an
hour the big, new $4,000 tractor
seaplane, of the Northwest Aero club,
driven by Aviator Herbert Munter,
and earring John Hull as passenger,
dropped Is feet into Lake Washing
ton about quarter of mile out
from Madison park shortly before
$3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Munter and Hull niraculously es-
capped death. Both were cut about
the face and Munter was dazed.
1.-THE big warplane, which has made
almost daily trips over Seattle dur
ing the past few weeks is total
wreck. The 125-horse power engine
was saved. John Hull was the first
member of the Aero club, outside of
W. E. Boeing, who bought the ma
chine and presented it to the club, to
make fight In the machine.
Munter Tried to Circle
The exact cause of the accident has
not been determined, but 1t is be-
lieved that either the controls became
jammed or the heavy machine slipped
when Munter tried sharp left turn.
The seaplane had made one trip up
the lake on the surface and another
southwark in the air when the acct
dent happened. Munter was trying
to make complete circle and head
to the south. The big machine had
almost completed the circle when it
suddenly seemed to lose it's grip on
the air and slip downward on it's
side. Like a plummet 1t dropped to
the water with a crash that brought
all houseboaters nearby to their
porches. Munter made a desperate
effort to right the machine without
getting any response from his con-
trolls.
at struck the water with great
force. Both Hull and Hunter were
thrown violently forward. Their
heads struck the leather bumpers
which are placed in front of the seats
for protection in just such emper-
gency cases. The wreck settled slow
" in the water, the air in the water

was dazed by the shock. and sat

DEFUNOr MUNICIPAL PLANTS
II Know of NO way of Judging of the
Future but by the past"
Patrick Henry

Butler, Indiana.-About rs years
ago the city purchased the electric
light and water plant from private
company. In October, 1918, a fran
chise was granted to private COM
pany. The editor of the Butler
Record writes as follows, under date
of August II, 1915:
Immediately after it's purchase by
the city the plant had to be repaired
and enlarged. The necessities for re-
pairs continued with increasing fire.
quency until 1t was found that
nothing would do short of new
plant. From the beginning to the
end of municipal ownership the plant
has been q constant burden to the
city. At times it has been claimed
that it was more than paying its ex.
penses, but that could never be shown
by any sort of good business calcula-
ton. When repairs, interest on
bonds and the original cost were
taken account of, it was always found
that it lost money. BY giving the
franchise to private company we
will get light at smaller cost than
under municipal operation and the
city will have no plant to keep up
or any bonds to pay for the original
cost"
MariOn's Glim Is Doused
Following thunderstorm which
occurred recently at Marion, Kansas,
the municipal electric light plant
caught FIRE and was destroyed. The
building, being constructed of cement
blocks, did not burn, but fremen
played streams of water on the struc-
ture while fire was raging inside and
scores Of cracks appeared In the
walls, running them. All Of the cleo
trio light equipment was wrecked.
A division OF opinion as to the
origin Of the fire exists among the
citizens. One theory advanced is that
the plant was struck by lightning
while other assert that the blaze was
'of incendiary origin, result of dis
satisfaction with the service supplied.
