Tells How to Combine Two
Swimming Strokes In Proper
Unison.
PRACTICE IS ESSENTIAL
Fair Diver Urges Her Pupils to
Keep at Work and They'll
Learn Easily.
By ANNETTE KELLERMANN.

You have learned through my two
previous lessons the breast stroke and
leg stroke-the two first essentials in
swimming.
With today's lesson will teach you
how to combine these two move
ments.
This does not mean that you must
start today. You must. first of all.
have become proficient at the two
strokes before you try to combine
them. So. for those who wish to walt
a day or 30 II would be far better II
they would defer this lesson until
they feel they are ready for It.
The combined movement Is a COM
paratively easy one. The breast
stroke. as It II called. Is q very COM
Portable one and most often used by
swimmers.
It IL not a stroke that use to any
treat extent myself, but II IL the
stroke that all beginners should use
and master. After the breast stroke
has once been learned correctly. tho
other strokes will come with ease.
In the combined stroke you must
omit the chair and use only the stool
or box.
Easy to Learn.
It will be very easy for you to
combine tho movements II you will
remember that as THE HANDS
SHOOT OUT STRAIGHT AHEAD
SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THIS
MOVEMENT THE LEGS ARE
DRAWN UPWARDS AND AS THE
HANDS TURN AND PLOW THE
WATER THE LEGS ARE KICKED
AWAY FROM THE BODY.
Now that you have been told the
movements OF the breast stroke, I
look to you to make them perfect
Please practice hard and become
proficient.
Do not enter the water until tell
you to do SO. for II you are to be-
come an adept you unjust follow
directions faithfully. Then success
will surely come to you.

represents the sentiment of the Michi-
gan State Grange,
And, whereas, the state grange at
all its annual sessions in recent years
has by unanimous vote enthusiastical-
ly indorsed the county local option
system and opposed the reduction of
the unit to the township, village or
city.
Therefore, resolved, by the execu-

that the action of the said person is
entirely out of harmony with the
sentiment and intent of the state
grange and that until statewide pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic becomes
an actual fact, we are unalterably op-
posed to any decrease in the unit of
territory for local option below the
county and call upon every member in
our order and every lover of sobriety,
good government and clean manhood
to work earnestly and persistently
from now until the polls close on the
evening of November 7 against this
misleading and pernicious measure,
and we urge every voter to vote NO
