Tomorrow brings among many other delightful summer recreations the formal opening for the season of 1922 of the swimming pool of the Bir- mingham Railway. Light and Power company at Powell and Railroad ave- hue, Nineteenth and Twentieth streets.
 This very worth while and whole- some bit of welfare work which was inaugurated eight years ago by this big institution, has probably afforded more pleasure to more people in Bir mingham who are fond of swimming than any other one thing Birmi ngham has ever enjoyed.
 That swimming should be included
 In the list of accomplishments of every boy and girl who Is growing dpNtoday, just as much as music and art and "readln' an writin' an 'rith- metic" Is no longer a subject for an arRument-for besides being an ac- oompllshment it Is almost a necessity, a demand. that everybody should know how to swim.
 Whenever I think of this somehow the story comes back to me of several years ago when on board the ill-fated Empress of Ireland was a young New Ltdtd Hu WpHldHs | lHt pJ name After being in the water an hcur, Miss Townshend was picked up alive by a lifeboat crew, She was the only exception to the grim salv- age the crew collected.
 Miss Townshend had learned to swim when a girl and her experi- ence. supplemented with pluck, rob bed the death toll of the Empress. The moral Is obvious. Learn to swim and learn now. It is duty to your companions. to whom you are menace unless you can do your part in case of an accident.
 The B. R. l.. < F. Co. last season issued over 2,000 free passes to Bir- mingham people to enjoy the delights of the swimming pool besides the thousand white employees of the com pany who also frequented the waters.
 This season it has been deemed wise to restrict the patronage of the pool to the employees only, the thou sand registering under this head being quite sufficient number, with their families.
 A swimming pool committee has been composed of Miss Ethel Bil- brey, MT. Bart Jordan and MT. J. Marion Naff to take charge of the arrangements which will have their continuation tomorrow when the sea- son will open and those who enjoy swimming will bask in the delightful waters of the pool.
 In talking with Miss Bilbrey about the plans for this season she said among other things yesterday;
 The swimming pool of the B. R. l. X P Co. was instigated by MT. w. E. Murphy eight years ago. The plant was originally intended as the power house for the company ana when the company decided to get their power from the Alabama Power

OLD DossIN HAS HIS DAY

From the Boston Transcript
Boston's annual work horse parade
has become an institution. This year
it is to be held May 80. At least
fifteen hundred horses are expected
to be in the line. The "old horse"
class composed of horses at least 10
years old and sometimes as old as
40, is certain to prove as popular and
interesting as formerly.
If the Indians be right and there
exists a heaven for horses, that hea-
ven is certainly grateful to Boston
and to the Boston Work Horse Re-
lief Association. In 1903 Boston wit
messed the first work horse parade
in America.
No little attention is paid by the
judges to the veteran horses in the
parade. An old horse. Henry c. Mer-
win. president of the association,
says is like an old man. His gums
receed hollows form above his eyes
and many of his hairs turn white.
Needless to say. he deserves greater
care, and IL he is given the proper
attention he will still render good
services. Merwin recalls one of these
veterans who had seen in the har-
ness thirty five years and who was
so frisky that he threw his driver.
1t is difficult 10 estimate the exact
age of an old horse. One year there
Were sixty horses IN this class but
last year the number was cut down
to thirty, largely due to the automo-
bile.
Among the prizes given to the old
horses are a gold medal from the So
eiety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals and silver medals from the
Red Acre farm and the Animal Res
cue League. while the relief associa-
tion also offers a number of awards.
And allied to the veteran horses,

tion. are the veteran drivers. They

GERMAN CASUALTIES 6,12t,2

SPORTS LURE EURoPE'S KINGS
The reigning monarchs of Europe,
who were not shaken from their
thrones by the World war now seek
to display democratic tendencies in
various ways. The easiest way, and
the most enjoyable, is to go in for
sports. This let's them appear in an
unconventional role which would
have shocked their ancestors, but it
gives them opportunity to associate
with 'commoners" and to win their
friendship. After all, man may be
good fellow despite the fact that
he inherited a crown.
The king of Sweden has shown
democratic tendencies by playing
lawn tennis on the Riviera. In one
! match his partner was Mile. Suzanne
Lenglen. the French woman cham
pion. Opposed to the king of Sweden
and his French partner were Sir
! Arthur Balfour and Mrs. Beamish.
The match was won by the king and
Mile, Lenglen. although Sir Arthur,
| despite his gray hairs and ripe age,
| still is a lawn tennis player of no
mean repute. while Mrs. Beamish is
one of the best women players in
England.
King George good sport but a
man more advanced in years than
the King Of Sweden. contents himself
with rifle shooting and the mainten-
ance of stable of fine race horses
which have done well lately at race
meets in England The king and
queen were present recently at New
bury to see two of the kings horses
win i'm one afternoon while in the
same week he won the first prize in
show of Shire horses.
The kings sons are horsemen of
considerable skill like their father.
The best of them is Prince Henry,
who, however, dislocated his knee in
a. recent steeplechase.
The king OF Spain is one of the
keenest royal sportsmen in the Old
World today: he has become a fine
polo player and has long been for
midable on the la Wn tennis courts.
King Albert of Belgium. perhaps
the most democratic Of all Old World
monarchs is fond of horses and
shooting and probably would do more
flying were it not for the fears of
his ministers.
OF the monarchsi who have lost
their thrones, former King Manuel
of Portugal is the best known figure
at big sporting events in England
and on the continent His hobby is
lawn tennis, although he is an adept
horseman.-Ne York World.

A Simple Way To
Remove Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed TO remove dandruff at
once, aad that is to dissolve it,
then YOU destroy it entirely. To do
this, just get about four ounces of
plain. common liquid arvon from
any drug store (this is all you will
need), apply it at night when re-
tlring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning. most II not all, of
Your dandruff viii be gone. and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of It. no matter how
much dansruff you may have.
You viii find all itching and
digging OF the scalp will stop in
stantly. and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.
