C0NQUERING THE CRAMP.
Rules q Swimmer Should Follow When
an Attack Comes On.

an attack ZONES On.
a cramp is merely a contraction of
the muscles caused by the penetration
of the cold. Obviously 1t could not of
itself cause drowning. It's worst effect,
according to the Popular Science
Monthly, is to cause d panic which
throws the swimmer off his guard,
causing him to let the air out Of his
lungs and thus allow the air passages
to become filed with water The safe
guards against such panic are absolute
confidence in the floating power Of the
body and a demoustrable knowledge Of
the proper way to fill the lungs quickly
to utmost capacity with air
The moment a cramp Is felt the swim
mer should turn on his back and begin
to gulp the air, making no effort to
keep himself from sinking. AS be
sinks he slowly exhales under water
through the mouth, with the lips
puckered as for whIstling If 1t Is q
stomach cramp the knees Will be drawn
up against the abdomen, but the swim
mer should force them out, pushing on
them with both hands and using all his
strength until they are fully extended
This will no doubt cause great pain
for a few seconds, but as soon as the
legs are Strengthened out the cramp
viii vanish, and the body, buoyed up
by the air In the lungs, will shoot up
to the surface. There, still inhaling In
great gulps and exhaling through
puckered lips, the swimmer may float
until he regains his strength or is pick
ed up.
In case of cramp in the leg. or arm the
same system of breathing is followed,
and the affected part is Strengthened

MARCHING TROOPS
Length of a Days Tramp De-
pendS or the Methods Used.
A HARD WAY AND AN EASY WAY

If the Load the Soldier Carries Is Prop
erIy Adjusted It Lessons the Amount
of Energy He Has to Expend and In
creases His Staying Powers.
There are two things, and two things
only, which determine the length of a
days march for soldier The first is
the amount of actual labor or mechan-
zeal work done while marching, the
second is the degree Of even distribu-
tion of this labor among the chief mus
cles used in performing labor. Now,
labor, or work, is simply the product of
the force overcome and the distance
through which it is overcome. The
forces TO be overcome are by no means
confined TO the weight of the man and
his pack. Many other forces are called
into play i'll the course of day
march
To illustrate, suppose the marcher
has to carry a five pound weight ON the
end of five foot stick. Suppose he
places this stick across his shoulder
with four feet behind him and one foot
In front. By the simple exercise of bad
Judgment he multiplies the weight OF
his load by four: he has TO pull down
continually with a force OF twenty
pounds. and the shoulder must contin-
ually push up with a force of twenty
five pounds, all ON account of that five
pound load which is carried on the end
OF the stick,
Another way in which energy may
be wasted is somewhat more subtle
and perhaps bit harder to understand,
but of equal or greater Importance.
1t lies in the principle that work has to
be done whenever q mass of any kind
is changed in its motion. 1t takes more
energy to start a street car, for in
stance, than to run 1t at uniform speed
1t takes more energy to make its speed
q little faster than to maintain it at the
last speed-that is, whenever a body
is given an acceleration a new force
has to be used Now, every time a SOL
dier bobs up and down when walking
he has to start the weight Of his body
and pack and gun upward and let them
down again To do this uses up more
energy than simply TO keep them mov-
ing up or down In the one case only
the pun of gravity has 10 be overcome.

Woodmen Quit Playing in the

Unfair Decision.

None too good was the feeling
that existed between the two OPP

at the finish of the game last night

BY winning the game the Mac

The overthrow Of the Romanoff

edge Of what was transporting in Pet

of greater national liberty. Whether
or not the HohenzOllerns follow the
Romanoffs into the political discard.
the Russian revolt is bound to have
a tremendous eeffct on the German
populace. il is felt here.

THE EAST END BRIDGE.
Mishawaka. March 1

Mishawaka. March 16.
Editor Of The News-Times.
Dear Safeguarding the propos-
ed bridge across the St joseph
river. at the east end OF Joseph s..
/ suggest before building another
bridge that y Cedar st. from the
Cedar st. bridge TO Joseph ST.. be
made passable. The fact that il has
not been shows very conclusively
that there Is no necessity for an
other bridge. at the present time, in
that immediate location.
When 1 bought my house about
10 years ago, at the south end Of
Cedar ST. bridge, the road in front
of il was little better than wal
low hole" most Of the time. and il
was three years before I could get il
paved, while the street north of the
bridge has remained in the same
condition, and a similar condition
would exist from Lincoln way L. TO
the proposed new bridge.
Lincoln highway needs repairing
fer its whole length. This could
have been done for about 81 a square
yard when il was first spoken OF
some years ago. The condition is SO
much worse now that il will cost at
least SO, and unless done this year
the road will have TO be entirely re-
built, at a cost of not less than SO a
square yard.
The above are only two out of
many places where the expenditure
OF money is much more needed than
for the proposed new bridge. and
with all the present financial and
other uncertainties I consider il wise
not to expend money for much more
than actual necessities.
