Questions AnstUered
Under Water Before Drowning

To the Editor Of the Erenino Public Ledger:
Sir--How long is II possible for body ~
person to remain under water and then
be resusCltated? Some sa" not over four
minutes, while others say II Is possible for
even 40 long time as twenty to thirty
minutes W. 8. G.
Philadelphia, April 2s. 1921.
II depends somewhat on tho methods used
and the intelligence with which they arc
applied The main object Is to cxpel the
water from the lungs and start artificial
breathing and the time OF accomplishing
this varies. Experts say that efforts TO re-
susctate are justified unless body has been
under water at least forty minutes, but not
all efforts within that pcriod are auccesstul.
one authority says: The reported time Is
50 remarkably long In some cases AZ to
justify efforts for resuScltation for at least
an hour

To make the swing a graceful thing,
The man would slug with all his

Day after day he would return
Unto the teacher. sad and sore,
Ank ask Of him in manner grim
To tell him what he'd told before.
And though he knew what he would
say,
And knew the way his wrists must
turn,
Once more in vain the prod explain,
Once more the man would fail to
learn.
