SFOTTD LEARN TO SW7TM

Some ingenious person in New York
has originated the idea of "splash
week. and the Big City will celebrate
this novel experience during the period
from July 8 to July 8. 1t is hoped
during that time to interest a great
number of people in the gentle art Of
swimming, SO that persons who do not
know how to take care Of themselves
in the water may learn just what
methods are employed. Accordingly,
a committee OF fifty we'll known men
and women have been appointed and
these folk have already arranged for
exhibitions Of swimming and diving
and life saving at the v0rious pools
in the city.
Because of the lateness of the sea-
son, because the weather up until
now has been too cold for the boys
to get out on the river or to covert
in those places where swimming holds
forth, the newspa pers have not been
carrying the regular Summer run of
news pertaining to drownings at bath
ing beaches and other such places of
amusement. But, as sure as the rays
of Old Sol warm up this terrestrial
sphere, these dispatches will be COM
ing in later, and homes will be made
sad because youngsters were never
taught the simple art of swimming
This is the regular summer toll. 1t is
the demand of the grim reaper in re-
turn for the laxness of a populace
too timid to learn how to swim.
New Britain as an inland city, with
no river front on which the boys may
play, and no outdoor swimming pool
Of any magnitude in the Immediate
vicinity of it's industries, is as negH-
gent in this respect as other cities SO
situated. Yet, the very position Of our
people demands that, we take greater

the ruins of several ancient and medic

"When the Italians were driven

FrenzelaL valley, through which runs
a railway connecting the two quainr

The former, thirty-four miles north OF
Vicenza, is a popular summer resort
for well-to-do Venetians. 1t is tho
capital of the "sette comuni', a barren

10000 Bavarians and Italian-speaking 4
Tyroleans. Arsiero is fifteen miles
southwest of Asiago and is the chief
town of the upper Astico valley.
ITO the east of Asiago and three
miles south of the TyrOlean border

A Horse Can BE A Hero.
philadelphia Evening LEDGER .


The head of one of the most famous
horses in history hangs mounted On
shield in the headquarters of George
G. Meade Post in this city. 1t is that
of Old Badly Gen. Meade's mount in
the operations of the armies of the
Potomac and Virginia. The horse
was raised in the West and was
brought East by Col F. D. Baker OF
Oregon who was killed at Balls Bluff
on Oct 81, 1861. Gen. Meade bought
him in Washington for $3.50. The
horse was wounded in the nose by a
piece of shell at the Battle Of Bull
Run on July 81 1861, but was rot
put out of service. He served at
Dranesvilles, Mechanicsville, Gaines
Mills and GrOVerton and was wound
ed again at the second battle CT Bull
Run on Aug. 80, 1862, when he was
shot through Il hind leg. Two weeks
later he was ridden at the battle of
South Mountain and on Sept. IT he
was shot through the neck at the bat
tie of Antietam and was abandoned,
apparently dying. He was afterWdrd
found by Gen. Meade's servant bTows-
ing on the battlefield. He had re-
covered sufficiently to serve Gen.
Meade in the October and November
campaign to Falmouth. In 1868 he
was at Charlottesville during the first
three days of May and at Gettysburg
on July 1. and 3. He wa shot
through the ribs on July 2. He was
in three other engagements that year
and in 1864 he was in the Wilder
ness campaign at Spottsylvania, North
Anna Creek, Cold Harbor, Petersburg
and several other places where there
was hard fighting
At the end of the war he was taken
to Gen. Meade's country place near
this city, where he remained seven
years. He was led in the great pa
rade in this city on Dec. 16, 1879 in
honor of Gen. Grants return from his
tour of the world. He was later

that might prevent such disasters
True, good swimmers are sometimes

THE DIFFICULTY OF DEFENDING
/ His Honor the Mayor, as befiits a
true defender Of the faith a political
crusader, upholds the lethargy of the
! Common Council in failing to show
honor to the departing soldier boys.
Before an enthusiastic gathering in
local theatre last night the Hon.
George A. Quig1ey made an admirable
stand for q lost cause. Have we not
voted to pay members of the city gov
was the gist of his argument. It
probably explains the patriotism of
the Common Council to a nicely. Hav-
ing voted to pay men money, monetary
issue, why should the city honor the
cohorts Of the brave by turning out
in holiday array, Very much to the
point! When virtue is placed on the
plane of commercialism it ceases to
bought and paid for cowardice is at a
premium. When the city pays men to
fight for those who stay home why
desecrate Old Glory? Very good rea-
sOning in the defense of an inexcus-
able error; but very lame in the final
balance.
The Common Council in failing to
adopt some method Of paying respect
to the militiamen who departed for
Mantle today made an error, and the
members of that astute organization
and the common people of New Bri-
tain know this to be true 1t matters
not what was done in the field Of
finance. That is the mercenary end Of
it. The spiritual side, and the patriot
ism of it, demanded that the Mayor
and the city officials turn out and es-
cort the boys to the station. Instead,
the Chief Executive of this city car
ried with him his pet political organi-
cation to perform the honors. No
politics there! Nor was the Common
Council.
But we hold no animosity against
the Common Council for having COM
mitted this faux pas. The members
Of that punctilious and sometimes
prosaic assemblage are human. Ergo
they must err. To that end, they are
forgiven, And to the Mayor who has
so CALAMITY and unconvincingly de-
Tended them we offer frank incense
and myrrh. He is as brave and cour-
ageous as any crusader OF old who
leveled a lance against the Sara GEMS
even if his blade was broken by
his own argument. He made a good
stand before Antioch though he was,
like the second crusade, unsuccess-
full. Any other place but New Bri-
his OWn,-any other nation but
America and he would be hailed as
the perfect knight. In England any
one of seven Orders would be his
probably all. In Spain or Austria, he
would be initiated into the Order of
the Golden Fleece, while in Italy the
Annunziata would claim him as it's
own. All we can offer him here is
good luck and success in future de-
fensive campaigns. And they are
rightfully his. He won his spurs.

To some of the uninitiated, the elias
tic on the soldiers hat which goes
around the back of his head is a sub
iect Of curiosity. AS is obvious, it is to
keep his hat from blowing off. The
campaign hat is for service and COM
fort rather than looks and it is worn
to the front of the head to protect the
eyes from the sun. Like all other hats.
it is easily blown off by the wind and
as it is impossible for a soldier to
