GOOD AS CASH

In some ways the Liberty
Bonds are better than cash
they are in the same class as
United States government bank
nptes-are almost as liquid as
a. checking account at your
bank-and pay you 3h per
cent interest.
No Investment can be safer
and none is SO easily converti-
BILE. You can get your money
at any time almost as easily as
you can withdraw it from your
bank, and the privilege to con-
vert into higher rate bonds
gives you absolute protection of
income.
It's good business and real
patriotism. Buy a Liberty
Bond!

cued makes It so. Most Of the trou-
BILE is with persons who do not know
how to swim, who get out of their
depth, get knocked over by roller
swallow couple of mouthfuls of wa
ter, and lose their heads.
1t is a simple enough matter, to
bring them in. They are close in
shore, and all that is required is to
get to them.
The life line, which take out
around my waist, is pullel in by those
on the beach, and there is nothing
more to it.
The principal trouble Is that when
people are frightened in the water
they usually kick and make a lot OF
fuss, and more serious, try to grasp
the would-be rescuer.
1t is a mistake to risk seizure from
a fear-maddened person in the water.
And no expert swimmer need be seiz-
ed.
The leg muscles of the weakest wo-
man are stronger than the arm mus
cles even of an athlete.
1t is perfectly possible, by drawing
up the legs and kicking, to prevent
oneself from being seized from the
front.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1917-07-31

| If, however, the person to be
brought y persists in trying to grasp
the rescuer 1t is absolutely necessary
to render him or her unconscious.
This can be done by giving sharp
blow with the knees on the chest over
the breast bone.
And no one should hesitate to take
this course as otherwise it is quite
possible the rescuer may be dragged
down.
If grasped by the arms, however,
the swimmer still has his or her legs
free, and can back-swim to safety.
If the legs are gripped, in spite of
efforts to avoid it, 1t is still possible
to scull to safety by using the wrists
and arms.
In an emergency rescue must
sometimes be attempted with the
clothes on.
Two years ago, when ! dragged a
man out of the surf here, I had no
time to even kick off my shoes.
The problem of bringing in an un-
conscious person is comparatively
simple. The body is simply towed in,
much as locomotive pulls a train
Of cars.
With one hand the head Of the ex-
Ihausted person is held above the wa
ter; that leaves two legs and one arm
with which to swim-more than
eno,1;h for good swimmer
Or both ends may be used to sup
port the head, the swimmer lying on
the back and swimming with the feet
alone.
An exhausted swimmer may be
helped in very easily by simply allow
ling himself to be pushed through the
water. The exhausted person lies on
his back, keeping elbows stiff with
hands on his rescuer's shouleSrs
without bearing down, while his res
Cuer swims easily behind. But only
A swimmer who keeps his head can
be helped in this way.
SAFETY FIRST IN THE WATER.
Don't shout all the air out of the
lungs. A grOan will usually call at
tention to your plight.
Don't struggle to lift yourself out
Of the water. That forces your body
in and vets your clothing more, max
ing it less buOyant.
Don't try to seize your would-be
rescuer; that is the worst thing you
can do.
Don't place yourself, better yet, in
a position where you will have to be
rescued.

Overseas Investments.

The National City Company says the
strong financial position Of Great Brit
ain in the International world has been
largely due to its willingness to under
take overseas investments, with the re-
suit that interest payments, dividends
and profits have flowed into England
from all parts of the world, Such over
seas investments are equally important
to US. especially when we consider the
necessity Of erecting q bulwark against
q possible future adverse trade balance
The annual interest accruing to the
United States from foreign securities al
ready purchased is approximately equal
to the average annual value Of our ex-
ports Of wheat, which for the last ten
years has amounted to s175,7I71S2 BY
the end OF the war this annual interest
revenue will undoubtedly constitute the
largest single item on the credit side
