who, with his brothers, originated the crawl stroke now so universally used in speed tests, states that the difficulties of the stroke have been very much exaggerated and a wrong conception given it by number of writers who have tried to explain it.
 As matter of fact, to it's simplic- ity is due the speed which can be gotten out of it. There is no extra motion. according to Cavill. Much stress, he says, has been plac- ed on the action of the legs and feet, whereas, these take care of themselves. The power and propell- ing force lies practically entirely in the arms and the motion of the legs is more of a stabilzer than anything else. They keep the body flat on the surface of the water.
 One of the principal tricks of the stroke which the learner must master consists in knowing just when to breathe. The position of the body brings the water up to the eyes, the mouth and nose being sub merged. A little instruction in re- gard to this will quickly show the beginner the moments during the stroke when the breath should be exhaled and inhaled.

WORLDS RECORD BROKEN BY A WOMAN SWIMMER

The boom in swimming continues and seems to be increasing rather than diminishing. Quite as much interest appears to be taken in the achievements of the girls as the men and the presence at San Fran. cisco lately of such stars as Miss Claire Gilligan of New York, and Miss Dorothy Burns of Los Angeles, has helped to bring the sport to the front.
 Miss Gilligan is swimming at the top of her ability as her recent per formance in the 800 yard swim tes- tifies. In this recent performance she broke the worlds record former ly held by Miss Fanny Durack of Australia. Her time was minutes. 31 Is seconds as compared with the Australian girls minutes 32 3-5 seconds.

President Wilson granted an In
crease of 45 cents ton in the price OF
bituminous coal at virtually all mines
in the country, effective at once. Inc
new price absorbs wage advances
agreed upon between operators ana
miners in the central competitive and
other fields. The presidents order pro-
vides that the increase shall not apply
in case Of existing contracts providing
for an increase in price to cover any
raise in miners wages. Neither Will
it apply in districts where miners ana
operators fail to agree upon miners
penalty provision satisfactory to the
fuel administration.
Although wages for farm labor have
during the past six months been about
double the former scales, farmers OF
Pennsylvania and New Jersey are
offering further advances of from IT
to 20 per cent for green and skilled

Philadelphia Bourse. Farmers VINO

$35 a month.

The government report for the month
of July, 1915, prepared by the depart
ment of labor and industry for New
South Wales, indicates that the
law has not prevented strikes, but that
it has enabled the governmental ma
chinery, operating through the courts,
to punish strikers if this Is deemed
advisable.

TRADE TRIPS.

Business men who accompanied the
Ardmore Boosters to Ell Reno last week,
were gratified at the spirit prevalent
in each Of the local trade territory
towns visited. 1t was frequently said to
the Ardmore people, what we cannot
buy at home we would rather buy in
Ardmore," Local business men have
been neglecting the essential thing in
securing this trade. They have not be.
come acquainted with their neighbors.
It is no doubt true that the remark
able business activity here has made
II impossible for many to get away from
the city.
However, 1t is essential that Ardmore
get acquainted with her neighbors Ev'
cry town in the southern portion Of the
state should be visited as often as pos
sible The desire to trade here is al
ready prevalent and the invitation is
all that is necessary TO bring many
more people OF this section TO Ardmore
at frequent intervals.
Many of the business men on the FL
Reno trip were impressed with the ad-
visibility Of other trips TO be made in
the near future. 1t is quite likely that
a trip to points east OF Ardmore will
be made within a few days. Others
should Immediately be planned.

BUILD IN ARDMORE NOW.

There probably never was more
propitious time in Ardmore than the
present in which to build dwellings. Al
this time IL is conservatively estimated
that not less than three hundred dwell
ings are under construction here. And
vet there is not a desirable vacant rent
al house that will remain available long
er than such a time as is necessary for
il TO get before the renting public
Dwellings under construction for rental
are contracted for by tenants in many
instances as soon as the building ma
terial is on the ground.
No city of 10000 people ever before
saw such a demand for accommoda
tions for newcomers. In many in
stances waiting list" has been made
up by property owners, even in the case
of the rental of furnished rooms.
BY some it may be said that the
price Of building material is now much
higher. The scale Of rental is much
higher throughout the country at pres
ent than at any previous period. The
measure of cost of living is greatly in
favor Of the man who lives in his own
home. The garden. the poultry yard
and the family orchard will do more
to cut down the present high cost of
living than all Of the Investigations
and congressional action that can be
wished for, and little relief Of that ma
ture can be expected for many months
If at all
The time to build your own home is
now. The property values in Ardmore,
as everywhere else, is bound to advance
rapidly and with the prospective Of a
remarkable growth anticipated here, the
home owner will find that the property
he can call his own. no matter how
small or how pretentious. will be found
the wisest investment of the year.

DESTROYING PAVEMENT

For number of years it has been
the practice to tear up street paving at
any time in order to install water, gas
and sewerage on private property. In
many instances the houses TO be served
by these utilities have been built and
occupied prior TO the laying Of the pave
ment. Notwithstanding the certainty
that damage to the work would result,
property owners have waited until after
the paving has been completed and at
their convenience have torn 1t up TO
install the utilities.
1t seems only reasonable that before
paving is ordered. that street connec-
tions be required at least for houses
completed or under construction in the
district to be paved. The life Of the
pavement is reduced and there is much
inconvenience TO traffic resulting from
the absence Of such requirement
