Billy Robin Finds Aduice Is Worthless

FoR THE first day or two after Billy
Robin and his little mate arrived in
the garden they were quite content
to rest and eat, for they were hungry
and tired from the long journey. But
as soon as they were rested and fed,
they began thinking about the new
nest.
THAT old apple tree was all very
well last year." declared Billy; 'but
I think we had better look around q
bit before building. Maybe We can
find better location"
II don't know about that" an
swered Mrs. Billy, doubtfully. II
liked the nest in the apple tree. Why
not stay there" For, you see, Mrs.
Billy was very anxious to get to
building, and hunting around for a
new place seemed just waste Of
time to her.
"Oh, Of course, II would do" ad-
mitted Billy; but I mean to get ad-
vice on this matter. Maybe we can
find a much better place. There's
Chirpy Sparrow now. He suggested
the apple tree last year, maybe he
will have a new place in mind now"

Billy to wait with what patience she
could muster.
"Sillyi" grumbled Mrs. Billy, when
she noticed that Chirpy and Billy
had begun what appeared to be q
long confab. "I1l simply not wait
for them! How can ! build Q nest
and lay my eggs and everything. II I
have to wait and wait to begin? III
start Matchmaking this very minute
and I'll make the nest IN this crook
in the apple tree where we lived all
summer. What was good one year
ought to be good another"
And with that sensible remaSk she
began her hunt for nest materials.
But Billy didn't look behind him:
and he was so intent on his own talk
that he would not have noticed II she
had picked up straws from under his
very bill!

Famous Swimmer Tells About the Proper Foods the Time
to Eat About the Use of Goggles Protect the Eyes
Also About Choosing Your Type of Swimming.
BY ANNETTE KELLERMANN.

l shall give you today a few points
on training. These rules should be
followed carefully and they will be
found very useful to all of you, wheth-
er you are in training or not
Always remember that IL you are
competing or attempting a swimming
record that the less water you displace,
the more of chance you will have in
being successful. Try to glide through
the water. Don't splash frantically,
for then you will only impede the
movement of the body.
Try to cut the water clearly. l have
told you MANY, MANY, times to per-
feet yourselves, for it is only by do
ing so that you will be able to accom-
plish anything.
If you are entered in, or attempting
a long distance swim, eat well the day
before Try to gain few pounds for
you will lose them easily when in the
water
I generally eat bountiful meal the
day before. When I attempted to
swim the English channel, just before
starting I had my maid rub my body
will with a heavy oil until the skin
was we'll coated, had this done so as
to keep the body warm.
For food always used boiled chick
en-. BUT that chicken is so WELL
boiled that 1t is nothing more than a
fluid and I drank 1t out of bottle.
On my Channel swim I consumed
three chickens in six hours.
l am very much against the use of
stimulants and always advised all
swimmers to beware of them.
The eye too should be well taken
care OF. -
will tell you what I have used. I
seldom attempt a long swim without
goggles. These goggles are securely
fastened to my eyes and to make
doubly sure, they are sealed by an ap-
plicaton of bear grease, so that no
water can reach them, the ears too,
should be well taken care of. There is
grave danger at all times, in the shape
of an abcess of the ear for those who
swim. I cannot tell you what to use.

Washington. Aug 29-President
Wilson's plan for breaking the dead
lock between the railroads and their
employees. as discussed in conferences,
was as follows:
An eighthour law for railroads to
become effective at a date far enough
in the future to give the railroads op-
portunity to prepare for it.
A law patterned after the Canadian
act which creates a commission of in
yestigation and prevents lockouts or
strikes while an industrial dispute is
being Investigated.
This plan was discussed by the pres.
ident with his party leaders in con
gress as the basis for the next step
after the railroad managers have for
mally announced their refusal to ac-
cept the plan of settlement the presi-
dent previously proposed Meanwhile
COngres siOnal leaders gave up hope
of adjournment this week and settled
down to stay here as long as neces.
sary to provide legislation to meet
the strike situation.
Still Hopes for Settlement
While the president has not finally
given up hope of bringing about an
agreement through direct negotiations
he is going forward with his prepara
tions for going before congress with
his plan for legislation.
The president. it was said. repeated
ly has shown a willingness to consent
TO any plan which would include the
principle of the eight-hour day and
has stood ready to submit to the rail
road employees any plan suggested by
the executives which has a possibility

that the entire controversy should be
