AppeaIing to Sectional Prejudice.

The persistent efforts of the democratic
World-Herald to arouse sectional prejudice
against Omaha ought not to 90 unnoticed. In
its desperation TO bolster up the weakness Of
its owners senatorial candidacy. 1t is con-
tinuaIly urging the voters OF the state to come
over to its side and vote against republicans
because they happen to be residents of the
metropolis Should man be punished be-
cause he has established his home and built up
his success In Omaha? Have the people living
in Douglas county forfeited their rights as cti-
zens because they happen to be more numerous
than those Of other several political subdi-
visions OF the state. The nominations on the
republican ticket we're made by voters Of the
state as whole well aware Of what they were
doing II is hardly likely that the democrats
rejected any OF the proffered candidates In
making their selections because Of the location
Of the asprants home, or that any was chosen
solely because he happened to be a resident OF
particular locality However this may be,
what is TO be said OF newspaper. sustained by
the support OF local business men and pretend
ing such devotion to the interests Of Omaha as
does the World-Ierald. that pleads with its
readers not to vote for candidates because their
homes are In Omaha?

M nanse for Worry.

All this worry or suspense over possible
complications with Germany Is entirely need
less and unwarranted and a waste OF nervous
energy How do we know Il? Why, we have
the positive assurance OF that arch Bryan wor-
shipper. our old friend Edgar Howard who tells

Bryan will return to the old home state TO enjoy a

riot on the prarles because OF hs labors In the holy

Again the health commissioner sounds his
warning TO housewives and others, that the
campaign against the fly is on. II Is not so
much against the fly himself, as what he stands
for. Flies mean dirt, and dirt means disease
Health and happiness require that cleanliness
be the rule. To keep clean means to be care
full. No sort Of precaution Is proof against
oarelessness. Screens are efficient only when
properly applied and maintained; the daily de-
struction Of refuse In which flies and similar
yermin breed, and wherein disease germs flour
lah; the general watchfulness over all occupied
premises, to see that cleanliness prevails
these are separate steps In the campaign for
safety in summer time. Not only is 1t needed
10 swat the fly, but TO swat him in advance OF
his existence by removing and preventing condi-
tions under which It Is possible for him to be
born at all. Health and comfort are worth the

One Sign that is Plain.

The reunion OF the republicans Of Calitor-
MIA has in II nothing Of announcement for the
democrats. In no state In the union was the
division between the different republican ele-
ments sharper than in the Golden State. The
logic OF events, however. has served to brns
the disputants there as elsewhere 10 better
understanding, and II has been discovered that
the causes which led to the break we're neither
fundamental nor immoyabe. The patriotic de-
sire OF the republicans OF California, In COM
mon with those Of the country, is greater than
devotion to issues that can better be adjusted
within republican councils, and that can not
be successfully fostered without. Even the
most ardent OF the progresslyes realizes now
that no chance exists for his plans with the
bourbons Of democracy In control OF the coun-
try The republican party still Is the one hope
Of those who look for advance In the affairs OF
the United states CALIFORNIA; example is in

should learn and practice all Of them.
Then there is the breast stroke carry
in which the rescuer assists a tired
swimmer who has not become excited.
In the latter method the swimmer
swims on his chest, using either the
breast stroke kick or the scissors kick,
and shoves the other, who is on his
back. The tired swimmers arms are
held straight out in front with his
hands placed lightly on the others
shoulders. This permits the swimmer
to use his arms as in the breast stroke.
The first of the lows is the head
carry. Both persons are on their backs
and the rescuer grasps the head of
the victim by placing hand over
each of his ears and. keeping his arms
straight. swims by using any kick he
wishes. In this position it is easy to
keep the head forced back and pre-
ducing his buoyancy by raising his
head or doubling up in the middle.
Next is the under armpits carry, when
both are in the same position as in
is held under the armpits. The
thumbs are actually in the armpits
while the hands are on the back to
force the chest up and to help keep
the body horizontal. This method has
the advantage of allowing the rescuer
to use one arm to assist in propulsion
if he is towing a specially buoyant
person who is quiet. II the rescued
ono manages to give the rescuer much
trouble 1t is possible to get a full
Nelson on him from this method or
to grasp him around the chest The
first should not be used except in ex-
IRENE necessity. as it will force the
head under. and in the latter the vic
tim can throw his head forward and
cause both to sink.
In both the head carry and the under
armpits carry 1t is often of great as
sistance. at the start. to shove the
body up with a knee to get 1t on
horizontal plane.
The next method is the across the
chest carry, where the only kick that
can be used Is the scissors. Grasp the
victim from either side across the
chest with the hand under the outside
armpit This pins his nearer arm to
his side and the victims nearer shoul-
der Is against the upper arm of the
rescuer at the armpit. The swimmer

HEAD CARRY.

to this better than others. All sorts Of
land exercises have been suggested to
develop these muscles, but the best
way to do 1t Is to get into the water
and swim the kick.
Practice on land should be continued
while the kick Is being learned in the
water. To start the water practice
shove off on the back from the side of
a swimming pool or the bottom of the
water. Start sculling and then start
the kick. not forgetting to empty the
lungs completely from time to time
so that fresh supply of air can be got:
At first the kick will be performed
much too fast. but as the power is de-
without trouble. AS the kick is per
fected the sculling can be reduced in
power and finally stopped altogether.
From then on practice taking the
just the finger tips above the surface.
then the whole hands. and last getting
the forearms completely out.
When the kick can be SO swum that
about hundred yards can be negotiat-
ed with the hands out of the water. the
swimmer can be sure that he is making
progress.
For the scissors kick. practice on
land. Lie down on the side with the
head resting on the under arm. Slowly
swinging the upper one forward from
the hip and the lower one back from
the knee The upper leg swings so
that the feet travel about twelve or
fifteen inches and the lower SO that the
shin is at right angles with the rest
Of the leg. AS soon as the legs are
opened snap them shut. To prevent
them crossing have the instep of the
upper rest against the lower foot when
the legs are closed. Then the under
foot is raised on the recovery until it
is above the knee and the ankles are
iexed SO that the toes point toward the
shins when the legs open and along
the line Of the shins while they are
being snapped shut This kick should
be racticed on both sides until the
movement can be done without thought.

towing unconscious or helpless per-

Flower lovers. who potter about their
gardens may have observed on the silk
en- purple petal of an occasional morn
ing glory tiny red spots; furthermore,
they may have questioned the where
fore and the why of these spots. Horti-
culturists have studied this sprinkling
of spots on the purple morning glory
until they have determined the cause.
Considerable observation was neces-

either a spider remaining for a few
minutes on the blossom or a drop or
two of rain would cause these curious
red spots to appear.
