PREPAREDNESS PARADES.
Evidence That Spirit of Patriotism
Is Alive in Land.

From Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Not since the civil war has the spirit
Of '76 been abroad in the land as now.
The great parades lin our large cities
were needed to show the world. and no
less ourselves. that our patriotism is
only sleeping for want of an occasion
to awaken 1t. One young man, visiting
Chicago on the day of the parade and
not intending to participate, on seeing
the great demonstration fell in line and
marched the entire distance. He re-
marked to me, II felt l must declare my
patriotism. and came out of the parade
with an entirely new and enlarged con-
ception of what my country has done
for me, and an increased appreciation
of my duty to it, The simple fact is
that since the retirement of our Fourth
of July orators, now a good many years
remote, there had actually been nothing
in his daily life to arouse patriotism.
The Spanish war did to some extent,
but this young man of twenty-five to-
day was only small boy then.
To many the most impressive feature
in the preparedness parade in Chicago
was not the great number, nor the large
representation of women. both young
and middle aged but rather the splen-
did marching. For ten hours these
civilians. thousands of whom had never
before marched in public procession,
swung past with even lines and correct
step, and with only few halts in all
that time and these of only few sec
onds' duration. That these unframed
thousands were able to do this is at
least encouraging as to what these men
and women could do in case of emer-
gency and under the instruction of a
drillmaster.
Moreover, the demonstration was
thoroughly democratic. as presidents of
banks and captains Of industry whose
names are known in every state march
ed shoulder TO shoulder with their own
soldiers of industry, expressing an
equal loyalty to 4 common cause. And
every marcher carried The Flag.

dent Of the Washington Swimming
Club. has been inspecting conditions in
other cities this summer. He states
that although Washington is by no
means last, it is far from first in pro-
viding facilities for swimmers. He is
suggesting to his fellow clubmen the
erection of a great natatorium similar
to the one in Pittsburgh, where people
may splash in the water at any period
OF the day or night and at any time OF
the year.
F. J. Brunner. who will have direct
charge of the polar bears and the other
winter work of the club, is well known
as an amateur teacher of swimming
and lifesaving. He is the author of the
lessons on swimming which appeared
in The Evening Star, and of Teaching
Children to SWIM" Diving as a Fine
Art, and many other articles in news
papers and magazines of water sports.
He is perhaps best known for his work
In teaching lifesaving, having been de-
! tailed by the police department to teach
that subject this summer as part of the
safety first campaign.

Already there are over hundred peo-

firm resolution to swim outdoors every
morning during the winter. ITS the
best thing in the world to arouse the
appetite" said one of them, and if any
one wants an appetizer and cares to
get one by indulging in this sport. he
may do so by giving his name to F. J.
Brunner' Of the Washington Swimming
Club. ..--
Mr.. Brunner is the leading spirit OF
the Polar Bear movement. Swimming
is his hobby. He has long regretted
the fact that Washington is practically
organized group of people willing and
anxious to swim every day of the year
Boston. New Yorle. Chicago. Cincinnati
and many other cit,v,s have clubs for
outdoor winter swimming, variously
known as Polar Bear" Snow Bird or
otter clubs.
But Washington has never attempted
1t, not because Of dearth Of candidates,
but because there has been no organ
izer and no place to swim. The first
difficulty Mr.. Brunner overcame, and
the second was met by Mrs. Susie Root
Rhodes, superintendent of Fairgrounds.
who has under her charge the munich
pal pools. She has given her consent
to the use Of the large tank at the
bathing beach, provided 1t can be done
without expense to the city, there be-
ing no appropriation to cover the un-
usual demand.
The cost Of filing the pool ordinarily
is 81 for each operation. The members
of the club were willing to defray this
expense, but then the hitch came in
the fact that there Is no provision for
the District government accepting
money from outside sources. The situ-
alton was not all hopeless. however.
