Ocean Good Servant, But
Bad Master.
PUPILS READY FOR BEACH
Teacher Of Times Readers Now
Ready to Put Lessons to
Practical Test.
BY ANNETTE KELLERMANN.

Before I ask you to enter the
water-and we are now ready-I de-
sire you to become as we'll ac-
auainted with water as possible.
Whether II 10 . pool. or the seaside.
a lake. a river. or pond. does not
matter.
First OF all. you must not be
afraid OF water, for. while II is true
that water In q good servant and
at the sage time . bad master,
this does not apply to you II you un-
One OF the most important things
to remember 10 this: You must
never enter the water directly after
eating. This has been the unfor-
tunate cause Of many deaths by
drowning, due to cramps.
Let at least two hours elapse be-
fore entering the water, otherwise
your stomach will be subject to too
great a strain and this will cause
paralysis Of your other muscles and
result In cramps.
Don't Dabblew
When you enter the water give
yourself . good ''dousing" at once.
Don't enter the water and "dabble"
about with your feet and then wait
until you think you can stand It.
That IL wrong. for the blood rushes
up and may congest.
Don't be afraid to give yourself
a good 'ducking." In shallow water.
At onoe. You will feel much better
and will learn to swim far more
quickly.
Do not try to float. The nrst thing
to do 10 to obtain q broad canvas
belt and have this placed under you
so that your body rests on 1t and
you are perfectly bala feed.
Ask some person to hold the han
dies and slowly drag you along In
shallow water to where II IL deeper
and whore you can use your arms
and legs freely.
Tell the person to add just enough
strain on the belt to hold y6ur
mouth out Of the water. Now go
through the motions I taught YOU.
Do not let your feet down too far
try to keep them I'D near the top Of
the water. But do, not let them
splash out near the top. Keep them
Just under the top Of the water.
Don't Keep your head back too
far for that will make your legs
SINK. Now your hands must re-
main four inches under the water.
That Is, on your first forward move
ment OF the arms. Try to do this

prove you can dispense with the
belt and remaining near the shore

lesson.
The most important thing to re-
member Is. perfection of movement.
for IL you ever wish to become a
good swimmer. you must be able to
swim with perfect and even
stroke. Learn to time your move-
ment. Your first effort at swimming
any distance should be restricted TO
ten or twelve feet
But when you swim that ten or
twelve feet, swim It well and watch
your every movement. for in that
lies the secret of long distance swim
ming.
Some time will tell you Of my
experiences and how l had to start;
you will then realize what mean
when I ask you to perfect your
movement.

The Grand Jury was discharged
with the thanks of the Court after re-
porting that it had finished its work
after examining two constables and
81 witnesses, finding Is true bills and
ignoring 2 cases. They recommended
that certain needed repairs to the Jail
be made. They also called attention
to the dangerous conditions of the
three overhead bridges on the Elkton-
Perryville road and at the two small
ones at North East and recommended
that the situation be brought to the
attention of the State Roads Commits
sion. Judge Constable said he was
led to believe that the Railroad Com
pany realized the need of making con-
ditions safer at the points noted and
he thought was prepared to improve
the situation. The notice suggested
would be given to the State Roads
Commission.
True Bills Found.
The Grand Jury found the following

they saw him strike Barrett with the
head of it. A. H. Owens said he went
to his home for lantern for Oliver

The front lights burned only when the
engine was running. He took the
Ratchet from Oliver. He and Giles
pie saw Oliver take something out of
Barrett's pocket which Gillespie said
Willard Oliver took. and then Oliver
left by the rear door.
Mr.. Oliver was sworn and testified
that he went to the store before dark
and was waiting for Mr.. Owens to
draw a check. Jarrett notified him to
light the car and he asked Mr.. Owens
for a lantern. Barrett came in, gave
him five minutes more time and
then tried to arrest him. They c'inch-

asked Barrett to let him alone as he
would meet him in the morning. Bar

reputation Oliver feared he would do
him some bodily harm. Oliver went
