Perhaps the best illustration of what swim

by the group Of Americas fair competitive
champions. They are a remarkably attractive
lot on the whole, unquestionably better formed
and better looking, as a class, than the girls and
women holding top rank in any other branch OF
sport fostered in this country. And the illustrs-
ton is the more convincing in that quite few
of these aquatic stars are remembered as rather
unprepossessing lassies at the time they entered
the field Of water sports
II deserves mention while on the subject that
competition may be advocated for all members
of the sex because it offers the best incentive to
practice frequently and painstakingly Nor does
this mean, necessarily, competing in public. For

Of the New York Womens S. A., during the past
five or six years. With several hundred girls
and women Of all ages passing through the or
ganizaton's classes annually, my opportunities
for study and observation have been rather ex-
ceptional And throughout the period l have
noted quite general and steady improvement in
the health and appearance Of those who frequent
ed the pool regularly. Indeed, il has been a
source of surprise 70 me TO see how rapid and
marked was the Improvement in many instances
particularly among the children and younger
women Little lasses who started as frai, white

into robust red-cheeked youngsters, full OF life

To all who would follow swimming Tor Physi-

adontion Of a modern stroke of the crawl or
trudgeon-crawl variety. The strokes Of this type
are not only easier TO master than others for
they conform more closely with natural lnclins-

casion may require, and this means greater salts
faction in swimming for exercise or recreation
and better chances when swimming from neces-

contestants, except in competition. The work

The result Is that t tends always to establish the
standard body proportions called for by the par
ticular frame and makeup Of each individual
OF course, swimming cannot be expected to
work miracles. No need hope that an occa-
sonal paddle in the natatorium will suddenly
transform any girl or woman into a physical
paragon. On the other hand, those who have the
ambition and perseverance to practice often and
with application may rest assured they will de-
rive from swimming very material benefit IN we'll
being and appearance.
One of the great advantages Of swimming, In
60 far as the gentle is concerned, is that il
constructs in time the most pleasing type Of fem
mime figure. Every part of the body is brought
into action and assumes its share of the effort
that the development is all embracing and thor
oughly symmetrical. At the same time the mus
cles produced are long, clean and supple, quite
free from knottiness, thus making for a shapely
and rounded contour. Then, too, the position pre-
scribed for the modern Observation-Disclosures back,
head erect-insures correct, upright carriage, and
teaches ease and grace Of department.
Moreover, the exercise involved activates all
the functional organs. The digestive apparatus
is placed and kept in good working order and
blood circulation increased. This means better
assimilation Of food and more complete elimina-
tion Of poisonous substances from the system, re-
sulting in the eventual acquisition of the clear
skin and the healthy complexion women go to
such pains to simulate artihcially when nature
fails them.

CWIMMING as q means Of securing great
beauty to the form Of women is evidenced
on every lake shore and sea beach through
put the United States. The girl with the best
form IS the girl with the wet suit. Not the poser
on the land whose beauty is the thickness of her
cosmetics, but the girl who punges in and stems
the tide and comes forth with shining eyes and
red cheeks and feeling full of pep. And swim
ming goes even further than identifying. This
is what one of Americas leading sports writers
recently said in an article swmmingi
IF swimming could do for all girls and women
Just one-quarter Of what it has done for Miss
Etheda Bleibtrey of the New York Women's

real fountain Of youth Less than two years ago

correct, IL possible, a slight curvature Of the
spine. Today she is robust, strong, the picture
of rudy health and as straight as an arrow
Furthermore, she is just about the best woman
swimmer I'm the history Of the sport"
Doubtless Miss Bleibtrey's is unusual case,
given wide notice because Of her prominence in
national and Olympic competition yet there is no
question that swimming has done wonders for
others also and will be found pleasant means Of
improving IN health and looks by all who are
willing to devote the necessary time to it.
Particularly during the warm months, when
outdoor activities are not at all curtailed, there
IL no better sport than swimming to afford a
combination Of beneficial exercise and recreation

RATS INVADE IDAHO

There are Adj, 900 rats in Idaho
Each OF these rats does 50 worth of
damage per year. Idaho is losing
$4,000 annually as a result, ac-
cording to government statistics.
This information was brought be-
fore Governor D. w. Davis Tuesday
in a letter from Wendell Walker of
Chicago, who is asking the co-opera-
ton of the various governors, health
departments, etc., in putting on a
campaign which will have for it's
motto No rats in America by 1880"
The letter stated that such cam
paign was being successfully waged
in England at the present time. 1t
also asked for an expression of the
governors idea in the matter.
1t is possible that the governor will
indorse the movement, for he stopped
the affairs of state long enough to
say TO members of the press: THE
loss of life and property attributed
to rats is simply appalling and it is
question to which the people of the
United States have given very little
thought.-Boise Statesman.

that criminal or unwise?
