RUTHSTACKER TO
TEACH SWIMMING
LOCAL Y. W
Directors Select Crack Aquatic
Star to Take Charge of
Association Classes

The purpose of Miss Ruth Wayson
Stacker to forsake the ranks of anna
teur aquatic stars and become a teach
er Of swimming was fulfilled to gen
erous extent today when the board of
directors of the Y. w. C. A. elected
her as instructor of the associations
swimming classes.
This action was taken during a
monthly meeting Of the board. Aside
from her special duties as swimming
instructor, Miss Stacker will be one
of the assistants to Miss Leonora An
dersen, physical director of the Y,
W. c. A. The announcement of Miss
Stacker's intention to leave the anna
teur ranks and teach swimming was
made in the Star Bulletin a few days
ago. --@..
There now are. three swimming
classes conducted in connection with
the associations physical department,
the total membership being about so.
Miss Stacker's knowledge of the pas
time as we'll as her achievements and
popularity, undoubtedly will swell the
ranks of those who are taking swim
ming at the Y W., the association
officers believe. Her appointment
also will give Miss Andersen an OPP
portunity to devote further time to
the work of the other classes in the
physical department.
Miss Stacker will assume her new
duties at once. a..

Attorney A. A. Wilder is doing the

day in letters mailed to the parties
above mentioned.
Il have no objection TO payment OF
Forbes expenses out of the proper
funds, II there be any, but I say II is

To Auditor Fisher he sent the fol-
lowing letter: .
''Mr. J. H. Fisher, Auditor, Territory
of Hawaii, Honolulu.

Regarding the Dardanelles failure,
Mr.. Pratt made the following state
ment: The general impression in

a gamble; that IL might have come OF,
and being a gamble, was justified!
Australia mourns the loss of her
thousands OF brave troops, but there
Is no indignation over the campaigns

AntisAmerican sentiment, the emf
nent journalist added, does not exist
among the Australian people as a
whole.
Thousands of our. troops who came
home wounded from the Dardanelles
have recovered and have returned to
the 'front.'" he stated. I'VE have no
idea in Australia where the Darda-
nelles force has been transferred to,
but we believe 1t is either Saloniki,
Mesopotamia, or Egypt. The war Of
fice is keeping US In the dark, how
ever, as to their movements

spot. She was found by the sheriff
afterward.
On Monday Dickson disappeared with
Catherine and her ix-year-old sister.
Later the younger girl returned home.
She said Dickson had taken Catherine
into big house. The parents of Cath
crime raised an alarm and the police of
several surrounding villages started a
search. In Shelbyville it was learned
that Dickson had posed as the father OF
the little girl. The kidnsper learned of
the pursuit and he started for Bagdad
with the girl Sheriff Smith came upon
him near Bagdad.
