SWIMMING HlNlS
Swimmers who try to brighten
beach citizens by staying under
water will offend no one by failing
to come up.
Swimmers who can't swim will
gain nothing by going out in water
over their heads There Is
enough rubbish at bottom Of lake
without adding to it.
Swimmers who wear gaudy jewel
ry on all occasions will find heavy
iron anchors attached to neck both
fashionable and appropriate.
Swimmers who dive from lofty
heights should always pick out
shallow places In this way
science may soon find out what
really happens when irresistible
force meets immovable object.
Swimmers who play practical
jokes on lifeguards by screaming
for help should never be ignored. Ii
lifeguard hasn't a gun handy he
should throw 16-pound hammer,
respecting all A. A. U. regulations,
OF course.
Swimmers of simple sex who
spend their time on beach getting
coat of tan should remember that
it takes more than one garment to
make full suit of clothes.
Swimmers of simp sex who 60 to
beach to ogle sweet young things
in one-pieces should know this prac.
tice is highly offensive. Especially
to sweet young things whom you fail
to ogie.)
Swimmers who use beach for
dining table should at least be
thoughtful enough to break pickle
bottles into sharp-pointed fragments
and arrange them on sand in neat
decorative designs A naive pleas
antry might be worked out in letters
to say, "Walk on me and be little
cut up!"
Swimmers who imagine beach was
made for baseball games, horseshoe
pitching tournaments, community
picnics and debris-scattering con-
tests are correct on all ballots.
Swimmers who 60 to beach for
simple purpose of swimming and en-
joying themselves in quiet manner
should have heads examined.
