The annual death toll in the waters
of the United States is between six
and seven thousand lives, including
suicides. Most of the drownings oc-
cur during the summer bathing and
boating season. A large percentage
of these fatalities is preventable, and
every effort should be made to reduce
this percentage in the future.
By little timely instruction peo
pie who can swim may become life
savers, and with training very eff
cient ones.
The best way to learn to carry a
drowning person in the water is to
practice handling person who is
not drowning.
To further this work and to develop
a knowledge of life saving the play
time of thousands of people whose
business or pleasure takes them on
or near the water should be utilized.
This is the desire of the American
National Red Cross through its Life
Saving Service.
Experiments in the prevention of
water accidents in New York and
New England have proven conclusive
w that there is a marked reduction
in the number of drownings as re-
suit of instruction in life saving
methods. and that once this work has
been started the beneficial returns
continue. By following this plan, for
more than four years the organized

MAY FIT DUTCH SOLDIERS
WITH W0ODEN-SOLED SHOES

Consul Frank M. Mahin, at Am
sterdam, has made the following
report:
The commander in chief of the
Dutch Army notifies the corps COM
manders that an experiment is to be
made with wooden soles for shoes,
in consequence of the increasing ad-
vace in the price of leather.
For the experiment, 5000 pairs of
shoes will be made; 1000 are now
ready. The wooden soles will be on
new shoes, each pair having an extra
set to replace worn out soles.
The wooden soles are first soaked
in water to increase their flexibility.
When a definite judgment of the
experiment can be formed, and if it
is found feasible, it will be extended
on a large scale.

People Of means and good taste
may make their homes perfect
dreams of beauty, but they cannot
make them too beautiful, as long as
the comfort and happiness of the
inmates are sought and promoted.
Surely money cannot be expended
to a better purpose than in making
and adjoining a home for ones self
and loved ones and furnishing it
with all that is calculated to foster
in the inhabitants thereof of love of
home, as well as a love of the true
and beautiful and the good; and
even poor people will best secure
their own happiness by toiling and
saving to acquire and embellish
homes for themselves. There is a
pleasure that is rare, rapturous and
absorbing, and love of home is as
noble and ennobling of feeling as
can still the human soul.
