ON ART OF SWIMMING

Beginning tomorrow morning at s
O'Clock Wilbert +. Longfellow. repre-
senting the first-aid department of the
American National Red Cross. will give
members of the police force a series of
talks on the need of knowing how to
swim and how to give first aid in
cases of drowning and accidents He
also will point out that knowledge of
first aid treatment is just as necessary
in case of persons overcome by gas
or smoke and those suffering from
electric shocks.
"In such cases" said Mai. Pullman,
1.-The policeman who acts quickly and
promptly is praised as being a hero.
while the one who displays lack
of knowledge is generally spoken of
as being a bonehead.
Policeman F. j. Drummer of the harbor
precinct, who has taken great interest
in Mr.. Longfellow's work and who is
an expert swimmer, has volunteered to
devote his vacation between August
81 and September is to the work of
giving instructions to members of the
force He will teach swimming to those
who are unable to swim, it is stated.
and will teach improved strokes to
those who are swimmers
Practice at Bathing Beach.
His instructions will be given at the
twenty days, says Mr.. Drummer will
work wonders. AS a nucleus for life
saving corps in the police department,
Drummer has recommended the names of
Policemen Burke and Alexander of the
seventh precinct. The ms r'l' tons will
be given by Policeman Bruner as fol-
lows: Flat dive and drift; turning on
back, sculling; arm movement, in the
air. in the water. with and without
breathing: breathing exercise, and leg
kick; hanging to support without sup
port. Combining the arm movement,
the leg kick and the breathing; diving,
plain front and back.
Perfecting the stroke which the
swimmer has been accustomed to use,
paying special attention to the breath
ing. Daily short practice races.
Life-Saving Methods.
Saving ones own life by keeping
afloat on the back by sculling. Grips
and breaks. Methods of carrying. Div
ing from surface and bringing up body.
Breast stroke carry. Across chest

kick. Artificial resuscitation.
Maj. Pullman today issued notice to
the members of the department recon-
mending that all members appointed
during the past three years or who
themselves of the opportunity to re-
ceive instructions. Civilian employees
of the department also will be per-
mitted to take the lessons. Plans are
being formulated to hold swimming

police of the various precincts will
participate. and suitable prizes will
be awarded. ------o

WHEAT TURNS DOWNWARD
ON CABLES AND WEATHER
Renewed Talk of Dardanelles Re-
opening Also Is Additional
Aid to the Bears.

CHICAGO. August 23.-Wheat took a
down turn today at the opening on
| lower Liverpool cables and favorable
domestic weather. An additional aid
to the bears was renewed talk of the
reopening of the Dardanelles.
Opening prices varied from shade
to rs lower, with the May option
showing the greatest drop. September
opened IS to IS off. at 1.02 to l.o2%s
December figures were a shade to asa Y
lower. at ssa4 to 1.ooA. The market
seemed inclined to run along on low
level.
Corn Prices Ease Off.
Corn followed the lead of wheat and
in sympathy with the decline in that
market prices eased off at the open
/ ing "a to Il. with September 74as to
74a4 and December at 63A to 63as.
further slight easing off followed.
Oats showed weakness, seeming to be
influenced mainly by the drop in other
grains.
Provisions were irregular. Light de-
mand caused a drop in lard. but pork
and ribs for which there was good
call, ruled from nickel to dime
higher.
Heneral COMMISSION HouSe ~
caused break of about cent all
around. Mid session reports OF frosI
in the Canadian northwest started
shorts to covering and made a wheat
rally to about opening figures, but an
other recession soon followed.
The close was weak. Is to A az q

December at 97A a91 Is.
Forecast for cooler weather led to a

ton of the meat will lower the temper
allure to such an extent that the whole
process becomes worthless. With such
meats as veal or pork, which are al
ways-or ought to be thoroughly done,
the precaution can be carried further
and the joints partially cooked before
being stored away. Care should be
taken, however, to see that the recook-
ing is thoroughly done.
Hot weather also calls for additional
precautions on the part of the house
wife in regard to canned products. Once
these have been opened and exposed
to the air, they spoil as quickly--if not
more quickly-than fresh food The
contents of can should therefore be
disposed of without delay. In no event
should they be left in the can after it
is opened, but should be used at once
unless the housekeeper wishes to "air -

is desirable If this be done, the canned
contents should be transferred to a

RELIEF FOR kEHOsHl SCHOOL
Two Towns to Unite to Build High
School Near One of the Kenosha
County Villages Vote on Proposition
to be Taken at Bristol, July 18th.

Better educational facilities are be-
ing sought by the people of the towns
of Paris and Bristol and to this end
joint town meeting of parts of each
of the towns has been called for July
Is at which time vote will be taken
on the proposal to build joint town
ship high school. The territory inter
ested in the proposed high school is all
Of the town Of Bristol and the two
south tiers Of sections in the town of
Paris. The territory is very densely
populated and it includes the villages
of Bristol and Woodworth.
At the present time children from
this territory who receive other educa-
ton than is offered in the graded
schools of the county get it at the Ke-
nosha high school. The movement to
secure township high school in this
neighborhood is not new one by any
means. In fact for the past seven or
eight years the question has been dis
cussed by the tax payers of the two
towns and now it is to be submitted
to a vote. It is thought that it will
be necessary to issue bonds to the
amount of about $4,000 in order to
build school to meet the immediate
demands of this section of the county.
The question of the location of the
school has not been discussed at any
great length and it is thought that it
will be easy for the voters to settle this
question after the preliminary decision
to build the proposed school has been
reached. It is thought that the terri
tory in question would furnish no less
than hundred and fifty students for
high school work. At the present time
from twenty to forty young men and
women residing in this territory come
to Kenosha to high school every day
and it is said that if a school is erected
anywhere within easy walking or rid
ing distance of the farm homes in the
community hundreds of boys and girls
who now leave school at the end of
yheir eighth grade work will enter high
school and complete the course. It is
probable that when the new school is
built that provision will be made for
the commercial education of the
students.
The members of the Keposha school
board are showing a considerable in
terest in the plans of the Bristol and
Paris taxpayers as the erection of the
high school in this district would go a
long way toward removing some of the
crowded conditions at the Kenosha
high school. The state department. is
showing an interest in the plan and
before the town meetings are held it
IS probable that representatives of the
state department. will be sent into
both Paris and Bristol to urge favor
able action on the high school plan.
# the plan is carried out it is expected
that the new building vii be ready
fol occupancy in the fall.

Conditions in Mexico City Are
GfuWlng More Serious.
BRITISH MESSAGES HELD UP

Gonzales Not Likely to Take Capital

Villa Leader, Would Like to Confer
With President Wilson = Denies
Story of conspirins With Huerta.
Washington, June So.-Mesgre ad
vices received at the department OF
state confirmed earlier reports of the
serious conditions in Mexico City,
where 1900 American residents are
endangered by lighting between tbs
Zapata and Carranza forces On the
edge of the city with a desperate
scarcity of food and no railway OF
telegraphic communications with the
outside world.
From Vera Cruz came further re-
ports that Carranza claims that Gen.
eral Gonzales will be able to take
Mexico City in day or two with the
aid of reinforcements being sent to
him, and assurances that Carranza
had not only given orders for the
proper protection of non-combatants
but would also send food into the city
as soon as he had captured it. The
state departments information indi-
Gates that Gonzales is not likely to
succeed in capturing the city from the
Zapatistas for some time.
British Embassy Messages Held Up.
The British embassy learned that
Charge HOPPER. at Mexico City, has
succeeded in getting messages
through to Vera Cruz, but that the
Carranza authorities are refusing to
let the charges messages pass over
the cable. The embassy instructed
the consul to make vigorous repre-.
sensations to Carranza. Nothing has
been heard by the embassy from Mex.
leo City in eleven days, a fact which
is regarded as serious.
Angeles Would Meet Wilson.
Washington, June S0.-The Villa
agency has been busy in conferences
with General Felipe Angeles, Villas
right hand man, who is regarded as
a possibility for the presidency of
Mexico.
Angeles came here from Boston,
where he has been visiting his fam
Fly, primarily to refute reports that
he had associated himself with the
Huerta movement.
His visit to Washington was has.
tened by the publication of the fact
that agents of the department of jus.
tice had been watching him and that
they had reason to believe that he
was allied with the Huerta group. A
statement denying these reports was
issued by Angeles. He said also that
he agreed with Villa in support of the
suggestion of President Wilson that
the factions in Mexico should confer
and endeavor to unite for the estab-
lishment of constitutional govern.
ment in Mexico.
Angeles Would Meet Wilson.
Much interest was shown here IN
reports from the presidents summer
home at Cornish, N. H., that request
was made of the president that he
receive General Angeles. General An,
geles said he would be glad to have
an opportunity to meet President Will
son, but that such meeting was not
the chief object of his visit to the
United States. He is returning to
Mexico City to join Villa after spend.
ing few days in Washington.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1915-07-01

A friend, speaking the other day of
his visit to a certain city, remarked in
cidentally that he spent an evening on
a trip to noted amusement park. He
was led to take the trip, which was one
of some distance, by hearing that
certain famous band was playing there.
He asked an agent of the park com
pany atathe city terminal, if the band
played a. concert that evening. The
agent said yes. Arrived at the park,
he found Nthe band never played even
ings TheNagent had simply believed it
good policy to lie to save one fare. It
us significant that the traveller. on look
ing up the advertisements of the park,
found that they merely advertised day
time concerts. This shows incidentally
how much more truthful advertising is
than the word of individual employees.
If an employee fibs, it is easy to explain
lit on the ground that he did not under
stand. A false advertisement can not
thus be explained away. 1t is a salts
faction to observe that the Associated
Advertising Clubs, in their convention
at Chicago. have again given great
promGnence'to the idea of the necessity
of truthful advertising. If there is a
yellow 'streak of Misrepresentation run
ming through day by day business, it is
much less present in advertising. Every
businessSfrm should realize what mis-
cradle policy it is for employees to falsi-
fly. Thatsman who was disappointed on
his band concert probably has told a
dozen people how he was fooled. The
incident was slight one, yet people
who heard it would reach the conclusion
thatfthesresort was a fake that did
notslive to its agreements. 1t is not
enough for corporations and business
lmen to condemn dishonest statements
on the part of their employees when
they learn of them. They should also
warn them in advance of the irritation
and hostility that such methods cause
in the public mind.
