LEARN HOW TO RESCUE
IN SWIMMING CLASSE!

Life saving is one of the CHER in
terests in the extended framing
planned for the swimming classes at
the 1916 summer session of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. The simple
principles involved in rescu1ng
drowning persons will form the eli
max of the instruction in strokes,
diving and breathing.
No apparatus will be used IN
teaching life saving methods and the
work will be done in Lake Mendoza,
rather than in the gymnasium pools,
under the guidance Of an expert
swimming teacher. The life saving
methods consist Of effective holds
and of simple twists and breaks to
release the hold of terror stricken
drowning persons.
To be able to swim is require
mont for graduation from the un1ver-
sity, and it is thought that, if every
body took the equivalent of the
swimming lessons given during sum-
mer session, the loss of life in such
disasters as the Eastland would be
greatly diminished. Former students
report that the instruction has en-
abled them to save their own lives
and the lives of others. Some have
become swimming teachers.
More scientific training, both for
beginners and for experienced swim
mers, is planned for the 1916 courses
Besides the breast stroke, beginners
will practice the side stroke, back
stroke, and breathing. Advanced stu
dents will be taught the scissors
kick, rhythmic breathing, single over
arm side stroke, trudgeon breast
stroke, broad stroke on back, crawl
stroke, and diving.

CORNERS COLOR MARKET

Washington, May 16.-In spite of
the shortage in coal tar colors the
Bureau Of Engraving, Uncle SANS
paper money and stamp printery, is
still doing business at the old stand,
Director Ralph was probably the
first man in the United States to
realize that the war in Europe would
mean "a color shortage here He
realized this on the day that Great
Britain declared war against Ger
many He took his worries to bed
with him that night, but he could
not sleep for thinking that the big
Bureau machinery might have to
stop. So he got up, dressed, and
just caught a midnight train fol
Philadelphia.
By eight O'Clock the next morning
he had bought at peace prices the
entire stock Of color held by the
largest Philadelphia importer. BY
noon he had all the available color
in Philadelphia, and all that was on
the way across the ocean to Philadel
phia firms
By mid-afternoon, he had acquired
all the color in Jersey City. When
business closed that night he had
rounded up the color in New York
warehouses. Since these three cities
contain all the principal importers OF
coal tar colors, Director Ralph had
cornered the market.
The color trade realized it that
very night. Ralph had just finished
his supper in a New York hotel wher
one of the color brokers with whom

BIRD USES BEACHEY METHODS
Roller Performs Aerial Somersauits,
GIides and FIipfIops to Win
His Sweetheart.

II Barnum or Forepaugh among
the birds ever attempted to organize
a circus, the roller, which lives in AT
RIGA, would be a candidate for a
place as flying trapeze artist and
aerial tumbler. He will dive, turn flip
fops, glide and perform other thrillers
to delight the professional acrobat
end the blase audience. Even the
gymnastic monkey could learn a trick
from this bird.
He performs his tricks mostly when
he's counting. His lady friend, perched
on the limb of a convenient tree, Is
his audience. The roller starts off
with fight straight up in the air to
considerable height, singing track
rack-rack" as he ascends.
From his height he begins to
tumble First he throws himself back
ward and turns somersault, as
though he were falling. Perhaps he
does it to brighten the little miss sit
ting on the limb of the tree Then
he catches his balance again and takes
another plunge, this time straight
down, and finally glides away to the
limb where sits his sweetheart.
Of course, no kind-hearted female
bird would dare refuse to marry such
an accomplished acrobat as that!

Washington, May ia defense

legislative MWork."

Congressman Bennett of New York
was talking on the floor of the house
the other day and Ben Hilliard of
Colorado asked him to yield just for
an eentsy-teentsy bit while he asked
question. The nature of the ques-
ton does not concern us, but Bennett
replied:
I'm Yankee and so I'll answer the
gentleman's question by asking anoth-
er question" And he did so.
I'm bit of Yankee myself" re-
piled Hilliard "and I'll answer the
gentlemans question by asking anoth-
err question"
Whereupon Bennett fell back on his
Yankee prerogative and asked still
another question.
Thus the thing went on until one of
them got tired and they called it fifty
fifty-with none of the questions an
swered.

AMERICAN TROOPS USE AUTOS

The use of motor trucks and ar
mored automobiles has already been
demonstrated in actual warfare, but
it remained for the American troop
ers now chasing Villa in Mexico,
on guarding the border, to demon
strate the feasibility of putting ordi-
nary touring cars to military use.
A few days ago an Overland tour
ing car WAS driven out of Column
bus, N M, by United States artillery
men. A machine gun was mounted
in the tonneau and targets were fired
at, with the machine travelling and
at a standstin.
The test was reported to be very
successful. 1t was found that tour
ing car was fully as logical and as
feasible as a truck for the purpose
The demonstration proved that the
vibration of a gun being fired does
not sWerve the car a PARTICLE In
fact, the car barely is shaken. The
objection to cramped quarters was
also conclusively dismissed when it
was shown that four men could ride
comfortably in the car with the gun

Music With Dental Work.

Music with dentistry Is the latest al
lance of the arts and sciences re-
ported at New York. Doctor
John B. Senesac Is the origina-
tor of this idea He noticed that
nine-tenths of those who entered his
dentists chair f1inched before they
were really hurt. He decided they
were concentrating too much atten-
ton on that buzzing little drill we all
know SO we'll and that their minds
should be diverted.
So when patient sits down for the
ordeal now, Clarence SIENNA, Doctor
Senesac's musical assistant, takes his
place at the baby grand and says:
Classical or ragtiIne?"
Mr. SIENNA is able to play almost
anything the sufferer suggests, and
does not play at all if the occupant of
the chair desires. But few patients
want the music to stop once they have
tried it's effect. Doctor Senesac bids
fai' to get reputation for that much
advertised but acknowledgement ar
ticle--painless dentistry.

Blast for Excavation Wrecks

SCORE OF PERSONS INJURED
Restaurant at Akron, O., Collapses Fol-

Diners in the Debris.

Akron, O., May 16.-Ten persons
are dead, two missing and score in
jured as the result of the collapse OF
the Crystal restaurant after blast OF
dynamite in an excavation adjoining.
Battery B, Ohio national guard field
artillery, was called out to aid the po-
lice in restraining crowd OF more
than 10000 persons who packed the
streets at Main and Quarry, where
the accident occurred.
Eight bodies were soon taken out
of the wreckage after firemen, police
and volunteer rescuers had worked
frantically digging and chopping
through the debris.
Nineteen more, many of them fatal
ly injured, were eXtricated and sent
to the City and Peoples hospitals.
Only two or three of the others
known to have been in the restaurant
succeeded in escaping before the
crash.
Blasts of dynamite, set off in an ex-
cavation for a new building directly
north of the restaurant, unsettled the
foundation.
The crash came in the midst of din
enr when the restaurant was crowded
and when thousands were on the
streets during the evening rush.
So suddenly did the ceiling cave in
and the walls crumble that those who
were not instantly killed were knock
ed unconscious.
