THE DROWNING
ACCIDENTS

One of the most pathetic aspects
of the summer season is the great
number of drowning accidents that
fill the papers as soon as warm water
Is found in rvers, lakes and ocean.
The press. OF the country Is annually
full OF protest against the excesses
Of football, in which score or two
of students have commonly lost their
lives. There are thousands on thous.
ands of drowning accidents every
year which excite comparatively little
attention.
Unfortunately teaching children to
swim does not assure safety. Many
young people, the moment they at
tain confidence. are ambitious for
long distance records. They are not
satisfied to remain near shore, ming
ling with their mates in gentle feats
OF diving and swimming under water.
They must try long distances where
few OF their comrades can follow them
and where an attack OF cramp may
send them quickly to the bottom.
Supervision OF swimmers by life
guards Is not always a complete pro-
lection. II hundred swimmers are
bobb ng around in the water 1t is easy
for one to disappear without attract
ing any notice.
Probably the majority Of accidents
occur where young boys go In bath
ing without supervision while they
are learning to swim. The fearsome
mother who would not let her daugh-
ter 90 into the water until she learn
, ed how to swim has always been held
up to ridicule. There is a general
feeling that young people have to
take Their chances. and so they are
turned loose In the nearest water

A LEGEND THAT WAS
HISTORY

Seldom in the history OF science
had such complete proof been given
of the truthful origin of an ancient
legend, as in the discovery of q cave
in Nevada recently. filled with relics
bel eyed to be OF the ancient race
from which the North American In
dams sprung. Everything pointed to
the fact that the cave had been seal
ed by nature more than 5000 years
ago. and one of the fossilized skulls
found in the cavern Is believed to be
5000 years old-older than the fam.
GUS Pittdown skull found in Kent
England.
Yet the story of that cave and the
lives OF the ancient people whose rel
les were found within had been hand
ed down through the generations by
word Of mouth with such accuracy
and truth that 1t guided the scien-
lists to the cave itself. The story
had come first to civilization through
Gen. Fremont, the great explorer
when he led q little band of whites
through the Piute country in Nevada
in 1874. An aged chief of the Indi
ans told him that the history of the
Indians in that country went bach
to the very beg innings of the worlt
and that thousands of years ago his
ancestors had driven whole natior
OF their enemies into a huge cavern
and sealed them there to perish. Fol-
three quarters OF a century that leg
end was regarded as are SO many lie
gends-a mere myth.
So wildly was II impressed in tn,
mind OF modern descendant OF tn,
ageo chief--a brilliant girl student II

THE AUTOMOBILE AND
DEMOCRACY

During the earlier day OF the mo-
,or car N be seen riding In an auto
mobile was a syn of wealth and lux
ury. People OF modest means ana
humble social position felt battered
10 be invited to ride even a short DIS
lance in a machine. They felt dis
amounted IL they were not observed
by friends.
Laborers working on the roads were
often seen shaking their fists at pass
ing motorists. The machine in the r
minds stood as the representative OF
n cruel capitalistic system Of wealth
and luxury. II was the proletariat
defying the aristocracy manifested IN
the flesh In their presence. 1t was
symbolic and class act, with no per-
sonal animus back of 1t.
In the rural districts the feeling
was bitter. One farmer was known
10 put a gun in the back of his wag'
on on his way to town, openly threat
ening that he would use 1t on the
first motorist he met.
The abuses of operation OF automo'
biles have grown worse rather than
better since that time. Wherever
there are cities and large towns, the
roads are crowded with pushing,
hurrying crowd of drivers. How this
traffic Is to be regulated, and common
decency enforced on people Of rash
temperament, Is one Of the ally prob
lens OF life.
Meanwhile the recent notable price
cuts in machines, and others likely
soon to come, are bringing the auto
mobile within reach of new arm OF
buyers. Already moderate priced
automobile, with good care, is cheap
er to maintain than horse and
carriage.
The automobile is no longer badge
or express on of class feeling. Soon
the man OF wealth may begin retiring
from a company which is growing too
common for his taste The farmers
are said to own more OF them than
any one class. The motor crowd In
exterior aspects is far from bearing
the marks of distinction. II all looks
plain and common enough, in one
equal democracy OF dust.

one OF these conventions was held
a few years ago was asked in ad.

piled off hand that he would take

ward when 10000 to 10000 delegates
begin to rain down on the town, he
concluded he would need some cot
beds If he was going to take the job.
The most remarkable thing about
this soc ETY. is the ease and harmony
with which young people from all the
Protestant denominations work to-
gether in one body. Their fathers
and mothers may look at the dividing
lines between the various sects as
bloody chasms, difficult to cross oil
close up. But to the young people
working so well together in one so
ciety, they must seem mere imagin

1t is not to be supposed that the
delegates to this gathering make their
pilgrimages purely from religious
zeal. Desire to see the country and
even the attraction of the society OF

in this way may be made in heaven.
Also no one who ever attended one
