Young and Old Splash About in
Y. w. C. A. Pool.
and Interest Great
est on Record This Year.
THERE is A "STOUT" GLASS
Pool Overflows Sides When
They Plunge In.
Small Girls Are More Daring
Than Small Boys.

If interest in Tearing to swim con-
unues at its present rate few persons
large or small-in Topeka will be
helpless If they fall overheard into the
briny-or muddy-deep, according 10
swimming instructors at the Y. W.
IC. A.
At no time since the establishment
Of the Y. W. c. A. pool have there
been as many plungers into the pool s
depths and splashers in the pools
shadows. Nearly everyone who goes
into the pool can swim or is anxious
to learn Many are convinced that
everyone should learn to swim and
consider it a pleasant duty to learn;
others arc swimming because doctors
have prescribed such activity and
others are anxious to master tie
aquatic pastime in order to demon
strate and enjoy the ability during
their coming vacations at various wa
ter resorts.
Many Gray Haired Women.
Among those lin the swim at the
Y. W. C. A. are gray-haired women
as well as children of four or five.
Girls and women of all ages are eligi-
BILE to cool off in the pool, and On
Tuesdays and Fridays boys under 10
years are allowed the privilege of the
pool.
TITS hard to tell which group takes
the most joy in swimming" an IN
squeaks and squawks-just as loud
from the grown-ups as from the chill
dren-I think they all have lots Of
fun from it. Ore of the noisiest AMI
liveliest groups we have is composed
of about a dozen middle aged women.
It's a funny coincidence that all the
members of this class are stout women
and they are always joking about the
pool overlooking its banks when they
plunge in
It's queer how women dread tc
| get their heads and faces under water
If they weren't so afraid of being en-
. tirely wet they could learn to swim
more rapidly" the instructor said.
Small Girls Most Daring
Contrary to what one might expect
small girls are more daring in the
water in learning to swim than are
the small boys who come to the pool
| in the experiences of an instructor
| Girls interest in swimming is splen
did" the instructor said. 'HigI
school girls with much leisure time are
spending several hours weekly il
learning to swim. while business girl
are members of classes conducted aftel
working hours. Young and middl,
aged married women are nearly a.
numerous as the younger pupils

tor at the Y. w. c. A. pool.

methods that have so far produced
nothing but strife and loss. But in any
case this is the eternal truth. If
your hearts are filled with bitterness
and iH-wiII toward one another, all the
man-made laws in existence will not
bring relief from strife. First must
the heart be right, for out of it come
all the evils that afflict the industrial
world You are all of one Father, all
of you of the different races in these
camps Why spend the precious days
on earth in hate when love is the one
thing after all that makes the whole
life worth having. For what is the
money, or the power, by the side of
love to one another as you learn the
beauty of working together for the
common good!"

be moved to this place. The Green
