Registration Opens
for Safety Week
Swimming Tests

This is registration week at the
Augusta Y. Nj. G. A. for all those
who desire to avail themselves of
the opportunities being ohered by
the Augusta Chapter, American Red
Cross, to learn how to save people
from drowning. Captain Robert
Miller will be in Augusta next Mon
day ready to give free instruction
to anyone who knows how to swim
in the easiest methods of saving
one from drowning. 1t is the aim
of the SAFETY WEEK committee
to have as many people as possible
learn how to act in such emergcn-
cieS during the intensive drive
which will take place next week.
one can never tell when in a
state that has all forms of water
bodies, sea, river. pond and lake.
just when he will be called upon
to pull somebody out of the water.
Ii he can swim the chances are that
he will jump in and do his best to
save the drowning person. but, un
less he knows how to take holu
and prevent such person from
dragging him under there is col-
siderable risk to such action. The
Red Cross methods are not hard to
learn and the necessary practice
may be secured in the tank next
week. 1t is form of protection to
ones own life. If a person, who
can swim should hesitate to jump
in after one less fortunate he would
be called coward. yet if he does
not know the method of saving life,
he would be taking a big risk, ana
an unnecessary one, in making the
attempt
There will be classes of 20 per-
sons or less each day. The juniors
range in years from II to II. the
seniors from II up. These two
classes will meet at separate times
and there will be classes in the eve
ming as well as in the daytime. 1t
is hoped that hundreds of persons
will enroll and other hundreds will
at least attend the classes and see
the method demonstrated.
Enrolment is free gratis and any
one at the will receive your en-
rollment either in person or by tele-
phone

Daughters of Eve
and Sons of Adam
Must Give Heed

adams Rib" had it's initial show
| ings at the Colonial theatre on Mon
day. Big audiences attended at both
| the matinee and evening perform
ances and 1t isn't saying a bit too
much to remark that they enjoyed
this special Cecil De Mile picture.
Adams Rib" is just what its name
says-woman. 1t is story of wom-
an-not new story perhaps. because
it is-pretty hard to find any new an
gle to the human relationship. But
though the genera. theme is one that
ha been made more or less familiar,
It Is handled in a bright and spark :
ling way-now dcliciOusly humorous,
now strongly dramatic.
Milton Sills. Elliott Dexter. Anna
@. Nilsson and Pauline Garon por-
tray the leading roles. They are hap
PLY cast and do splendid work. Miss
Garon is a newcomer to the screen,
but she is good-bubbling over with
good nature, righteousness and a
goth century wisdom that young
women of II are supposed to have.
Presented with stunning splendor
and even prodigality, this De Mile
production is all that one might de-
sire for a picture. The scene of
primitive man and woman-it might
even be called primordial philander-
ing among the paleolithic primates-
is a striking bit Of realism, dramati-
cally beautiful and beautifully dra-
matte. 1t is, too, probably paleon-
tologically perfect, SO far as such
things can be reproduced these days.
Those who expect big things from
adams Rib" will find their expecta-
tions fulfilled. Those who want a
gripping picture will have their de-
sires gratified. There are entertain
ment, education and admonition all
together in this picture.
In addition to the nine-reel play
there is one of the best news reels
yet shown at the Colonial.-Adv.
