SWIMMING AND CARELESSNESs
The accident near Riverside parl
yesterday when a young girl of this
city came near losing her life by
drowning, should be sufficient warn.
ing to parents to keep close watch
on their children. The parents OF
the girl in question are not especial
ly to blame-other parents, many of
them-give their children equal priv
ilege, to go to the river alone. This
should not be done unless the chill
dren are accompanied by some one
who is a good swimmer. However,
an error was. madelin yesterdays ac-
count of the accident. 1t happened
about $50 yards above the regular
swimming pool and not in front of
the bathhouse
The railroads have this motto: "a
careful person is the best insurance"
It's good one, and should be pasted
In every home. Parents should take
precaution before an accident hap
pens--not afterward.
The swimming pool at Riverside
park is a safe one-as safe as one
could be, and still be a good SWIM
ming pool. There are no treacher-
Gus currents, undertow, quicksand
or "jump-offs, - but the water at that
point in the Rogue flows smoothly
along at a slow rate. 1t has no ter
rors for those who can swim, and
those who cannot swim are able to
gradually wade out for a consider
able distance before getting beyond
their depth. But seeing how far
they can wade out" is a poor prac-
tice for those unable to navigate the
surface of the water without sub
merging, and even those who can
swim little" should never under
take the uncertain unless accompan-
fed by an expert swimmer who re-
mains close at their side.
Everyone should learn to swim.
No person knows when that time
win come when they will be compel
led to swim few strokes or perish.
Go down to the river and let some
good swimmer take you into about
three and half feet Of water and
teach you the art. 1t might prove
one Of the best investments You can
make.

Of the Rogue river valley lies in

about Medford, but several hundred

FRENCH OF NORTH FAVOR
1919 INCOME TAX ONLY

LILLE. France, Friday. December 26:
The members Of the Association of
War Sufferers of the Department of the
North at meeting here today adopted
resolution declaring that, while they
recognize it is the duty of every French
man to fulfill his legal obligations. the
members of the association consider
that the administration has no right to
demand any declaration of incomes ex-
cept one concerning income for 1919, and
in the case Of 1919 incomes it is only
right that there should be a delay until
the financial situation of each taxpayer
becomes clear.
The resolution points out that the in
vaded regions, instead of receiving in
comes during the period of occupation,
were obliged to borrow money; that
laws concerning the collection of an in
come tax never have been promulgated
in the invaded regions, and. therefore,
they should not be asked to make decla-
rations for the years of German occu-
patton and should receive long delay
for 1919.

Special Cablegram to The Star and

LONDON. December 27.-The tri-
bunals regulating profits believe they
have had considerable effect in reduc-
ing by at least SIS the cost of mems
and women's suits in recent weeks.
But economists say the reduction has
been caused by an unorganlzed boy
colt by a large number of the middle
class refusing to buy goods at the
prices demanded.
1t is now ascertained that during
the summer many clothing estab-
lishments got badly stuck" by this
unorganized boycott campaign. and
evidence so pointed to it's further de-
velopment that many clothing houses
recently clipped off SIS on suits and
overcoats
Another Tumble Predicted.
Even so. many have had large
quantities of clothing left on their
hands, and another tumble is pre-
dicted early in the new year. What
is adding to the uneasiness of re-
taiIers is the fact that an enormous
quantity of wool is now choking
some ports, and that eventually great
quantities must soon be absorbed by
manufacturers. There has been wide
spread advocacy of this unorganized
boycott to reduce prices, but it grew
principally through word-of-mouth
propaganda, with which the profess
sional classes with fixed incomes
have had much to do.
Extremes in Clothing.
Never have extremes in clothing
been more noticeable in the British
capital. Thousands of officers have
had their khaki overcoats dyed blue
or black. Suddenly big clothiers
knocked off $40 or SIS on overcoats.
The new rich are strutting about in
costly garments, but people with
old clothes. If the boycott were ex-
tended to other things, it is argued,
there would be a smashing of high
prices in all directions.

them to be not legal tender they were
used freely in trade. The govern
ment finally called them in and now

station on December IA, leaving a
widow and two children.
Mr.. Armstrong was one of the
closest friends of the detective and
volunteered his services last night.
He arranged to address the theaters
once during the evening for relief of
the family of the detective. The fund
will be accounted for by the managers
and checks sent into the Star.
Fund Reaches $1,000 Mark.
The Armstrong fund rose to the
81 1900 mark last night when contribu-
tions topping this amount by 81 were
received by The Star and the police
department.
Mai. Pullman announced last
night that Mrs. Armstrong already
had received $500 from the police de-
partment as a portion of the New
Year gift, which is expected to reach
q total of $4,000. The remainder Of
the purse from Star fund will be in
the hands of the police department be-
fore the closing of the present year.
1t is expected that several hundred
dollars will be added to the fund
through the efforts of Mr.. Armstrong
at the theaters tonight, after which
two days of contributions by Wash
tngtonians will remain to bring the
fund up to the $4,000 mark.
Is $4,000 too much to place in the
hands of this fatherless household for
New Year? 1t depends upon the con-
tributions Of the next few days. If

servant who died doing his duty is
