Miss De Vry Had the Spirit.

TT was easy to see that she had
i talent, enthusiasm, strength of
body and heart, and the COM
bative spirit that makes winners.
She had plenty OF power, but
needed instruction and training
to reduce her waste OF effort
through faulty technique and
waste of energy through the sur
plus weight she was carrying.
BY regularity in training and
the conscientious performance of
a definite amount Of work she re-
duced her weight to proper pro-
portions. Thus she proved that
swimming does not. as many
women believe, necessarily add to
your weight.
Swimming can make you
thin if you want to reduce,
and fat if you want to build
up. This is accomplished by
the proper regulation of the
amount and type of work you
undertake.

Miss De Vry had to abandon
her trudgeon style of leg stroke.

pelling burden upon the legs.

Max Bowman piloted a party OF
friends to Piney Point the first OF
the week for a Fourth of July out
ing. He drove the seventy-two miles
in his auto. making the run down in
four hours and duplicated that time
on his return. Reaching the point
Monday evening, he and his party
went out in a boat and landed forty
five nice, big hardheads and King
William perch. 1t was good water
The next day, July 3, they went out
, again and were equally successful
while it is a long run to the point,
the results Invariably are compen-
sating for. the time and effort.
Mark Beck, who is one of the old
timers for bay fishing, was down to
Chesapeak Beach last week and
brought in some fine catches of hard
heads and trout. He got some very
nice ones off the long pier between
6 o'clock in the afternoon and g. at
night.
Notwithstanding there were about
twelve thousand visitors to Chesa-
peake Beach on the Fourth. and
about every attainable place was~oc-
cupied by the strollers and those
trying to fish. there were some good
catches of hardheads and trout during
the late afternoon. A great many
went after the crabs, but for some
unaccountable reason they are rather
small and scarce just at this time.
Reports come of some very fine
perch fishing in the Potomac. One
party consisting of Odie Davis, AL
fred Souder and Martin Ristig went
down to Marshall Hall and landed
more than a. hundred of nice size in
less than an hours fishing off the
end of the small pier. It furnished
some lively sport for the brief fish,
ing time.
