DROWNING ACCIDENTS

Early summer fills the newspapers
with many reports of drowning acct
dents. Many families are thrown
into mourning, and trail of sorrow
is marked across the land. Young
people can not be kept from the wa
ter, and they must learn how to use
it safely. But the carelessness, in
experience, or foolhardiness Of many
Of them create tragic events.
Drowning accidents occur largely
in three classes of cases: Boys who
do not know how to swim, who go
into the water without supervision.
2 Expert swimmers who go into
deep water and are attacked with
cramps. 8. Boating accidents.
Parents should see that their chill
dren learn swimming under some
competent instructor, or in charge
of some good swimmer. The boat is
no place for petting parties, and
people who act in it as they would
in fat bottomed boat are not fitted
to have the use of one.

The wife should have gone to Vas

hands and feet, all due to physical
culture.

ANGEL BUYS VILLAGE
Swedish Fed Cross Nurse Seeks
to Rehabilitate War Wrecks.
Arlstocratic Girl Gathers German Ret.
u0ees From Wastes Of Siberia-Has
Already Rspatriated Thousands
Of War Prisoners.

Stockholm,-A refuge Of rest and
physical rehabilitation where the hui
man wrecks Of German war prisoners
from Russia and Siberia may be treat
ed and salvaged Is being purchased
by Miss Elsa Brandstrom, known
throughout central Europe and Russia
as the angel Of Siberia"
Miss Brandstrom is negotiating for
q village In southern Germany which
she proposes to turn into human
reclamation camp for the derelicts
that once marched proudly under Hin
denburg and other Teutonic military
leaders against the Russians and were
captured and sent to Siberian concen-
tration camps.
They remained In Siberia till long
after the world war was over, and
there are still thousands of them left,
free to return home if they could.
But they have neither the means nor
the physical strength to do so.
Miss BrandstrOm is young Swed-
ish Red Cross nurse, the daughter Of
the late Gen. Edward Brandstrom, for
many years Swedish minister to Rus
STA under the cars regime. Leaving
her comfortable home in Stockholm
and the aristocratic social set in
which she had been brought up, she
led small Red Cross expedition into
western Siberia and has succeeded
in repatriating thousands of German
and Austrian war prisoners.
But she found that when the former
soldiers reached their homes they
were unable to assume their former
places in society. They were wrecks.
So she has collected a considerable
fund and hopes to purchase village
and have it ready for occupancy this
autumn.
+ AS to the war prisoners still wan
dering about Russia and Siberia,
many Of them never will be found,
and none of them will ever be able
to get back without outside aid. Miss
Brandstrom proposes to continue
rounding up these waits and bringing
them to her haven of rest.

REpoRroRrAL HONOR

Judge Willis vickory. a veteran

The Hearst boom for Governor was
rolled fatter than a pancake by the
Democratic state machine yesterday.
William J. Corners, the chief Hearst
boomer, and his associates had to
watch the fattening out process in
silence. They had no voice in the pro-
ceed!ngs, their failure to obtain prox-
les forcing them to attend as mere
spectators.
Even sdre humiliating to the Hearst
force adVIs the fact that the home
county ~ q Mr.. Conners-Erie-sent
complete delegation to the state COM
mittee meeting, eight of whom shouted
for cap Smith, The ninth, William II.
Fitzpatrick, kept silent.
The Hearst faction had pleaded with
the leaders that the state committee re-
pudiate the action Of the Syracuse con-
vention Of upstate leaders two weeks
ago which condemned the editor-poli-
tician and Endorsed Mr. Smith for Gov
ernor.

said:
!f Hearst is nominated we may as
well go out of business. Upstate is
solidly for Smith"
When the State Committee ad
journed without rebuke to the up-
state leaders for their anti-Hearst SEN
timents, the Hearst boomers privately
admitted that they must take a new
tack and make a drive for control of
the Democratic members of the next
Legislature, thus paving the way for
mastery of the New York state dele
cation to the 1924 convention. when
Mr.. Hearst will make bid for the
Democratic nomination for President
All the committee did was to carry
out the routine mapped out for it by
the party leaders, who included former
State Chairmen William Church Os-
born, of Putnam County; Mr.. Hup-
puch, of Washington, and w. w. Far
ley, of Broome; William H. Kelley, the
Onondaga County leader; William H.

Machine Smooth and Swift
These men, who control the sstate
machine, decided at informal confer
ences which preceded the meeting, that
the State Committee would adopt only
such resolutions as were needed to le-
galize the holding of the Democratic
State Convention at Syracuse on Sep
tember 20, 20 and 80, to provide for
temporary organization for the conyen-
tion and to set the master minds of the
party at work on declaration of prin-
