coming up. And then he dropped his
tools, giving up the task of trying to

on top of that water; it was undrink-
able. But George now wonders if he

Rules For Swimming.

Tom Robinson, veteran swimming
coach, presents these rules for swim
mcrs:
Wait at least an hour after eating
before swimming.
DO not so in bathing alone. There
is safety in numbers.
Never accept an invitation TO ride in
canoe If you cannot swim.
In entering the water keep the hands
under so il you step into a hole YOU
can Immediately start swimming.
In learning to swim move toward the
shore; never swim away from the
beach.
Keep cut Of rough water if you are
subject to heart trouble.
Never swim until exhausted. Don,
"show off,"
If caught in the undertow, try at once
to float.
Learn them by heart
Remember them when you come nea,
the bathing beach.
Bear them in mind, boys, when you
visit the OIL swimmin' hole.

The Cubs.

Winslow Kellogg, a Trinity county,
California, hunter, trapped a mountain
lion. Today that lion is as tame and
faithful as any well-trained dog and
is the mans hunting companion. This
transformation was brought about by
kindly words, kindly treatment and
kindly training. No beating, no pun
ishing, no imprisonment turned the
cub OF a fierce mountain lion into q
pet.
But there are boys and girls who
aren't treated as fairly, as kindly, as
the lion cub was. These are boys and
girls who "have gone wrong" They
did something others frowned upon.
Probably they aren't dad" but they
are headed that way. And does so--
ciety take them as the hunter did the
lion cub, teach them the better way,
train them to go that way, and reward
them for their effort? Or does society
shut them up in cells with older, more
vicious, more criminal, and permit III,
youth to be trained by those expert
enced in crime and vice?

Human Side Of Plants.

No one can thoroughly enjoy plants
until he or she knows them intima, ely
Then it is that wonderful discoveries
are made.
For instance, Royal Dixon points
out in his book, THE Human Side OF
Plants" there are plants that walk,
eat insects, that fish, that mimic, de-
fend themselves, keep a standing army,
employ an aerial squadron. keep ser
wants and live stock, rob and plumber
and murder, that are athletes, that ride
on animals, that predict the weather.
tell the time of day, keep a diary, build
airShips, build islands, produce light
that see, that carry life insurance, tina,
sleep, that hide their blossoms and
fruit and finally, that carry on court
ships and actually marry.
In other words, plants are like hui
man beings. They live. They obey
the laws of nature just as men and wo
men and children do. They are par
of life.

Applause in New Jersey.

A certain theatrical troupe, after a
dreary and unsuccessful tour, finally
arrived in small New Jersey town.
That night, though there was no fur
or or general uprising of the audience,
there was enough handclapping to
arouse the troupe's detected spirits.
The leading man stepped to the foot
lights after the first act and bowed
profoundly. Still the clappng con-
tinued. When he went behind the
scenes he saw an Irish stagehand
laughing heartily.
"Well, what do you think OF that ?''
asked the actor, throwing out his chest.
"What dye name ?" replied the
lrishman.
"Why, the handclapping out there
was the reply.
"Handclapping ?"
YES" replied the Thespian; "they
are giving me enough applause to show

"D'ye call that applause ?" inquired
the old fellow. "Why, that's not ap-

PRESENT CRISIS
PROVIDES TEST
THE NEW TRANSPORTATION ACT
GETS. A CHANCE TO PROVE
ITS EFFECTIVENESS
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, May 17.-Members OF
the newly formed commission under
thh terms OF the transportation act
are recognizing the fact that the pres
.ent crisis brought about because of
the serious freight congestion that
grips the country provides the first
real test of effectiveness of the act,
and they are devOting their utmost eff
forts and energies in an attempt to
only the problems that threaten to
overwhelm the transportation lines.
The commission will probably deal
with local situations in various cities,
through individual roads, until a gen
.eral schhme can be worked out by
which priorities and embargoes can
be employed to restrain the on-rush-
ing stream of commodities, now wait
ing at every station.
The fuel situation has reached a
critical point, representatives of rail
roads and shippers said today.
STATE COMMISSIONS ARE
ASKED FOR AID -.
