$4,000 IN LIFE-SAVING
SERVICE OF RED CROSS
Additional $4,000 Water Safety
Experts Probable Gain of
Summer Campaign.

A boy watched an expert give
class lesson in the way to revive q
person unconscious from water i'm
mersion. The next day the boy tried
it on a bathing companion and saved
his life Such boy iustifies all the
effort and the cost of the Life-Saving
Service, American Red Cross officials
declare. The Red Cross method OF
restoring partly drowned persons is so
simple that the continual large sacri-
fee of life must decrease as an in
formed public insists upon general in
struction in prone pressure practice
to induce respiration.
The Red Cross Life-Saving Service
in every part Of the country. summer
and winter. is engaged in teaching
this method as an integral part OF
swimming and life-saving. This ser.
vice has grown from single expert
in 1914 to a corps of almost $4,000 ac-
tive life-savers. La this tenth year of
the work it is predicted that fully
$4,000 more experts will be eligible
for membership in the corps. This
large accession in single year is
confidently expected as the result OF
the campaign among $4,000 troops OF
Boy Scouts under plan to qualify
at least two life-guards in each troop.
During the past year 4,746 men,
1874 women, 1871 boys and girls sue
cessfully passed the rigid tests of the
Red Cross-an increase of 5,s31 over
1928. Intensive instruction is develop
ing hundreds OF qualified examiners
for the Red Cross Life-Saving Corps,
who supplement the teaching staff
maintained by the national organiza-
ton. The cause of water safety Is
therefore penetrating to new sections
and eventually will cover all Ame-i-
can territory.
Recognition of this Red Cross ser.
vice for humanity is growing apace.
At the request Of the War Department
every military training camp had life
saving instruction last summer. Mu-
inequalities have adopted the Red
Cross course. public and private
schools are offering it to students.

In addition SO rescue bars to medals

Ny Dear Miss Flo:

friend of mine as to whether or not a
girl should propose to a man during
Leap Year What do you think?
would like very much to have your
opinion. Thank you, Alice. :
Well, Alice, as long as you have
asked me for my opinion, I'll try to
be perfectly honest about it. First Of
all, why limit it to Leap Year? If a
girl has nerve enough to propose dur
ing Leap Year, why not do it any year
she wants to? really don't see why
an extra day in the year should make
any difference.
My opinion is that would rather
die an "old-maid" than propose to a

or not man who couldn't do his own
proposing would be of much use as a
husband. OF course, can argue with
myself and ask myself; "Why
shouldn't | propose to Jack? l know
he loves me, and I'm crazy about him
If | work-have a position almost as
good as his-if have equal rights in
citing and have to pay taxes-why
shouldn't l have equal rights in mar.
rage? Why should lose the man
love because he hasn't the nerve etc
ose to me, and because being
woman, can't propose to him. I don't
believe it's fair"
Yes, Alice that logical, but has any.
me ever been logical about love? You
can go ahead arguing trying to con
vince yourself and your friends that
you are going to propose to Jack, but
the Jacks in the world are going to GO
right ahead doing the proposing
they want to-and the Alices in the
world are going to keep on wonder
ing why they can't do some of the
proposing.
You see, Alice, where love enters

Reposed her in the barn;

Cop to Rescue; Couldn't Swim
Some few months ago it was FUND
necessary to add swimming to the ac-
complishments taught in our Police
Training School Behind the order lay
the attempt a brave lad in blue had
made to rescue woman from drown
ing in swirling Harem River. The re-
suit was he had to be rescued also
Now the reports show that that same
lad was called the other day to the
rescue OF another woman who was
caught neck down in a mixture of
mud and water far out in the same
river.
STAND back, you can't make it, .
said a comrade to this still unskillful
swimmer. "Stand back nothing" was
the answer and overheard went the

woman and the two of them could not
move her through the mud. The chap
whose inability to swim had caused

holding up her head while his comrade

these they eventually hauled her out
of rising tide 1t was all in the days
work.
These are only two of the incidents
in the great drama that is called New
Yorak. In this series | propose to in
troduce you to the back-stage secrets
show you how the play or the pageant
is kept moving; to reveal some of the
thrills that mark the task of keeping
things safe for you and your neigh

Force Of $4,000 Fighting Cops

The smooth outward management
that makes this city of six million re-
sidents so attractive to you is not
achieved without sweat of brow or
muscle. In fact, because of the mixed
character of New York's population,
the task is probably the most difficult
of it's kind the world around. So there
is a gripping story of many men work
ing to make the way safe for you, and
for the New Yorker. Some of this
work is done at risk of life-at the
pistols mouth. War never ends for
the police. 1t is of a happy snappy
force of $4,000 men that / shall write.
/ like to vision our $4,000 blue-coats
as a vast general committee welcom-
ing the general mass of visitors to
our community, safeguarding them in
street and home or hotel. They furn-
ish the first line of contact between
the municipality and the visitor, and
they make it pleasant contact. Gone
are the gruff days of old, never to re.
appear in New York.
Two reports that lie today on my
desk illustrate the present-day police
spirit. A patrolman of the Traffic
SQUAD asks for six weeks leave with
out pay. This is slightly unusual SC
his captain has investigated. He found
that this man, whose post has been in
front of the piers whence the great
ocean liners of the Cunard company
departs, has so endeared himself by
his courtesy and his good humor, that

By RICHARD e. ENRIGHT
Police Commissioner, N. Y City

Every day the seemingly impossible
happens in or to the City of New York
Perhaps the most remarkable of such
occurrences is that which happens re-
gularly every twenty-four hours and
which directly involves most of you
who read this.
Every day a city the size of Akron,
o., moves into the metropolis. There
it unloads its people on the already
crowded New York. 1t is like the ris-
ing of the morning tide Later that
same day this more than one hundred
thousand persons leaves the metrop-
oils. 1t is as daily an event as the rls-
ing of the tide along the 575 miles OF
the city's waterfront. When you your
self have visited New York you have
participated in this miracle, perhaps,
without realizing how great was the
thing of which you were a part.
Fed by this constant flow of new
corners there exists always. in New
York floating population of about
one million The city is the nation
magnetic centre, the focal point of it's
travel More persons visit it than go
to any other place on this earth. Next
to your home city or town New York
probably holds second place in your
interest.
Ninety per cent of those who read
this do join the great stream. Some
come for trade, some for social adj
vantage.
Day of Peril Now Passed
There was q time when some pictur-
ed the Metropolis as a place of peril
or possible disaster. That day, | be-
lieve, has passed. Today, Americans
generally recognize that New York is
the safest, the most sanitary and the
best guarded of cities This city stands
supreme in the safety of the streets
and of the home, in guardianship OF
the public health and in morality. |
speak with authority on this subject.
No need to quote the statistics with
their inevitable comparisons.
There are criminals and crimes in
New York. That is impressed on you
because we here live in the limelight
and you read of all metropolitan mis-
deeds. They seem numerous simply
because New York is SO huge. But,
person for person, the Individual is
safer in New York than in any other
place of large population on this CONT
nent-probably in the world.
Let me make a special point of this
since some who have not been here
for a year or two may not know how
conditions have changed. Those who
seek temptations in New York can find
it-but temptation will seek none out.
The public vice in the past associated
with the wide-open town has been
banished from the streets of this city.
The lone woman can go to and fro at
any hour of the night, unmolested, un-
perturbed, serene of mind

Dear Miss Flo: When lady, din

The lady should never go to the
gentleman's table. If she wishes to
speak to him she may have the waiter
request him to go to her table.

cautiously. For the rumor is that
Durant has only started. And Wall
Street respects his ability.
Durant has come back" three
times. He is SO and is considered a
wizard in high finance.
He was born in Boston. When he
was he moved with his parents to
Detroit, which was to become the
automobile center of the world. A
few years later he established his
home in Flint, Mich, where he be-
gan his long business career.
At II he was still a clerk. At q
his natural organizing ability be-
gan to show and he organized the
Durant-Dort Carriage Company with
a capital of 50 600. In 1904 he or
ganized the Buick Motor Company.
He built only sixteen cars the first
year.
It was not until 1908 that Wall
Street heard Of W. c. Durant. Just
before the panic had spent its
course he organized the General
Motors Company, putting into it the
oulCh &OUl kdligs IlAC A'1N4AAelC AACA
which he paid S5,O00.00O CASH. the
Oldsmobile, Oakland and several
others.
Wall Street saw his company de-
yeloping fast. 1t was luscious
melon and they longed to sink their
teeth into it. They did.
Within TWO years he lost control
of General Motors when he was
forced TO sell five.year notes in the
Street. His company had expanded
so fast he needed additional cap
ital AMI needed it badly. There was
only one place TO get 1t.
But he maintained his stock IN
terest and when the notes were pa:5
off he had himself reelected chief
executive OF the company.
His fortune accumulated. He was
riding on the crest of the wave.
Then the smash and four years OF
silence.
Now Durant is back-for the third
time-fighting harder than ever.
And Wall Street IS afraid.
