TEACH SWIMMING

New Haven, Conn.--ENery sailor in the
various training stations throughout the
country is to be taught to swim as a
military requirement according to plans
announced today by Waiter camp. gen
eral director of navy athletics of the
navy department commission on training
camp activities.
In a survey of the training stations
Director Camp has found that almost so
per cent of embryo sailors are unable
to swim. This condition, he says, at
though alarming, is easily explained in
asumch as most of the men have had
little opportunity in this direction as
they have come from communities and
cities where facilities for aquatic sports
are not available.
Two methods are being employed in
the naval stations in teaching The sail
natural way. and the other is on dry
land. TO a novice the idea of a man
learning TO swim on lard would seem
ridiculous but it has proved to be one
of the best means of conditioning the
men for the course in water instruction
that follows, and completes their train
Swimming is one of the few cxer-
cses that tend toward a finer ard more
uniform physical Development Director
Camp declares. at produces clear
cut and supple body where other sports
swimming stands almost without rival
as lucrative sport, for where is the
man who doesn't prefer plunge in the
surf to any other form of recreation on
a hot summers day."

know how to swim is like n carpenter
who doesn't know how to use a ham

THROWING HAND
GRENADES is FAVORITE
SPORT OF FRENCHNEN
Records Kept and Competitions
Are Arranged Frequently,
Practice is Greatly En-
couraged By Officers.

Throwing hand grenades has become
faYorite sport among French infantry
men and its practice is greatly encour-
aged by the officers says the Associated
Press. ] ~ordS are kept and competitions
arranged frequently among the men of tn
various units and rivalry in skill has
reached high point, A good grenadler
must be strong, accurate and quick. 1t
has been found by the instructors that
any man of normal physical capacity may
fulfil these conditions.
The leading promoter of efficiency in
hand-grenade throwing in the French
army is naval man, Lieut.. Hehert, who
even before ne war was well Known
throughout dnce as an expert on ath-
letics In fact, it was he who founded
the University of Athletics in the vicinity
of Rheims. where boys were scientifically
trained in all branches of sports
Lieut.. Hebert has compiled records of
hong throws. Among them are many re
ports of remarkable ones, which are lin
terestirg to ball players in the Amer-
can army, who after their training per-
iod is over, may find time to enter some
of the competitions now being arranged
for soldiers of all the allied armies. Some
of the longest distances are.
Private Lebrun of the 18th infantry
regiment, 22O feet in one direction, 202
211 feet inches.
Private Bacnacou of the 18th infantry
regiment, 30 feet II inches in one direc-
ton, 202 feet Z inches in the other, an
average Of 206 feet inches
The grenade thrown weighs pound
and ounces In competitions two
throws are made in opposite directions
and the average distance is credited to
the thrower. Thus no competitor OBJ
tains any advantage from the lay of the
ground.
Other competitions take account of the
accuracy of the throw and of the speed
with which the grenades are thrown The
best performance registered hitherto in
this latter competition is that of Private
Aptel of the 49th infantry regiment who
