NEW YORK WANTS TO GO SWIMMING; NO ROOM FOR ALL TO SPLASH IN

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The sizzling summer of 1921 has made all New York want to go a-swimming-but there isn't room enough for all to swim.
 On week ends it's strong man who can battle into bath-houses at nearby beaches and even if there were more bathhouses, it's hard to imagine how many more thousands could gain foothold on the crowded sands.
 So, from city hall down, everyone is trying to locate new swimming holes-and l goth century swimming hole in Americas largest city is a costly proposition. Mayor Hylan has urged construction of swimming pool in Central Park and it has been suggested that an unneeded reser- voir be converted to the uses of a perspiring citizenry, but at present it's all talk and talk is even more heating.

 A true story, we'll known in scien- tific circles. records the first use of radio-t telephone during the war in France Professor W of Yale uni- versity, then in the reserve corps, was asked to witness a voice-controlled flight near Romarankin. France. Standing in a hangar on the ground he placed the receiving instrument to his ear. The voice of an unseen per son from the clouds spoke message. The professor turned pale as he dropped the receiver.
 My God he exclaimed. that's Pro- lessor Peters. He died nine years ago:'
 The professor was told that the man speaking was one of the pilots of the Sixty-ninth squadron.
 Soon the pilot dove from the clouds and walked into the hangar. He proved to be Professor Peters son.

THE WHITE HOUSE OWL.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 A mother owl is raising family in a tree on the White House grounds Possibly the wise old bird had heard of the watch tower" that the women have established over against the cap itol and had determined to go the fe- male of the human species one better and esconce herself where she could keep the President constantly in her mild and magnificent eye. What Lad die Boy'' thinks of the ihterloper is not reported.
 The grounds of the White House arc famous as a resort of birds. Roose- Welt rejoiced in their numbers and va riety. There were. and still are. blue birds. robins. redbirds catbrds, flick CTS, the crow blackbirds that are so fond of the water. sparrows that haunt and many other sorts. In the purlieus Of the executive mansion the birds are safer from molestation than in some other parts of Washington. Pa triots on their way to the executive offices to hunt for soft places on the pay roll are too deeply engrossed in that quest to pay much attention to the birds.
 The owl, as the associate of Minerva, became the symbol of Athens. As an oracular pattern of dignity and solem- nity 1t sets an example to some of our excltable and unconventional lawmak- CTS. The White House owl would seem to be more needed at the other end. of Pennsylvania avenue.
