What a Swimmer Is.

Some swimming pupils might
be satisfied with negotiating
sixty or hundred feet in the
water. Others would not be
pleased until they could swim
like Johnny Weissmuller.
My idea Of a person who has
accomplished something i'll learn
ing to swim is one who can go
200 feet with ease and comfort.
with mind and muscle relaxed.
That is what | would have in
mind in giving an intelligent
answer.
Some people take longer than
others. One might learn i'll six
or ten lessons, another might
take forty. As a rule, the Older
they are the more tenacious is
their fear and the longer it takes
10 work it out OF them.

ARTICLE ".

"FOW long will it take me to
Alearn to SWIM"
That is one of the questions
beginners most frequently ask
me. so believe | am safe in as
Stunning that most of the readers
of this series who don't know
how to swim have the question
uppermost in their minds.
In reply | usually state:
IF you want an honest answer,
| cannot give it to you in few
words 1t would require an ex-
PLANTATION"
That is like walking up to a
man and asking him point blank,
Have you stopped beating your
wife," If he answers. Eyes"
you exclaim in triumph. $50, you
were beating your wife," Then
the man explains that he never
beat his wife, and besides, he
never had a wife.
In the first place, what do you
mean by swimming? A majority
of people who say they can swim
when you ask how far they can
go. tell you:
"Oh. from here over to there"
indicating a distance OF four to
eight yards. That means that
they can keep their arms and
legs thrashing wildly about as
long as they can hold their
breath
Obviously they do not know
the art any more than a fish
knows how to fly just because
he can jump out of the water
long enough to catch a bug.

weeks ago, but when slightly below
this depth, second rich pay saES
was encountered that produced oil by
large heads. Oil men estimated the
well to be making about 1000 barrels
of oil soon after it came in Friday
afternoon at 5 o'clock. 1t is flowing
into steel storage tanks and into
field line here owned by the National
Pipe Line Company. The drill stem
is in the hole and owners have an
nounced that the well will be deep
ened.
Seven More Wells.
Counting the No. Fields as n COM
pletion and adding the No. . Merri-
wether of NJ. Lebow's to the list, a
total of seven wells were brought in
in the Luling field during the last
seven days, all of them coming in with
initial production of 700 to 1000 BAR
rels of oil daily.
The United North and South Oil
Company registered the largest num-
Der of compilations during the week.
This company brought in its No. 1
Chester Byrd, No. 4 Rios, No. ) Lee
Byrd. and the No. 3 Han deman. The
Royal Oil Company brought in its
second Tabor well.
This is the best week in the his
tory of the Luling fie'd. Several more
wells are setting casing and nearing
the pay sand and it is expected that
the next several days will see con-
siderable more activity here.
Pinching In It's Wells.
Although the United North and
South Oil Company has been forced
to pinch in several of its big producers
for lack of shipping facilities, the field
is shipping more than 5000 barrels
of oil daily. Oil is shipped as fast
as cars are emptied and returned TO
the field. Loading racks of the two
pipe line companies in the field are
kept busy day and night caring for
the increased production of the field.
