Many persons, sinking in deep
water. have dragged others to
their death because the would-be
rescuers were unable to handle
them.
Remember this primary rule:
Never let a drowning person main
tain a hold on you,
One who is sinking often will
seize your wrist with both hands.
If it is your left wrist that is be
ing clutched. you must grip his
opposite wrist with your free
hand; then lift your left foot.

wrist is being held. push with
your right foot.
The push will break the drown

WASHINGTON, July 10.-This is
the true story of the first steamed
oyster.
The summer of 1924 is witnessing
a renaissance in American history
and among its important revelations
is the account of the events which
gave to America and to the wcrld
the justly famous delicacy of the
steamed oyster.
Back in 1858, Thomas and George
Harvey of Washington. D. c.. tired
of the blacksmith business and de-
cieed to convert their blacksmith
shop on Pennsylvania Ave. into an
eating house Their first move was
TO secure a monopoly on all oysters
for the city of Washington.
Army Had Oysters
BY 1852, when the Civil War was
: in progress, this oyster monopoly
8 had become so well established that
the armyjs commissary department
vas forced to order from the
Harveys its entire supply of oysters.
History omits to state why the
army had to have oystersl.
p At any rate, the orders from the
Army ran up as high as 500 gallons
at a time. The Harveys were hard
put TO boil such large quantities at
once. They experimental. And 10.
the steamed oyster was achieved.
So rapidly did the fame Of the new
delicacy grow that a few months
after its origination President and
Mrs. Lincoln and Secretary of State
Seward and his wife visited the old
blacksmith shop to partake OF
steamed oysters. They approved.
and thereafter a host of celebrities
began to haunt the place.
Grant a Customer
General Grant had an alcove spe-
cially reserved for him. Stephen
Douglas and James G. Blaine be-
came frequenters.
In 1866 the blacksmith shop was
replaced with new building with
second and third-fioor dining rooms
as well as that on the ground floor.
And there the same building stands
today. still famous for its oysters
and still visited by celebrities. It's
the oldest of the fashionable restaur-
ants in Washington and one of the
most famous in the entire country.

Bobby Coon Awakened.
When you're in place that's tight
Grit your teeth; resolve to fight.


Just about daybreak Bobby Coon
went to sleep under the big pile of
brush where he had hidden. Even
those who are in great pain sometimes
can sleep. Bobby was so used up
that, in spite of his aching leg, he
went to sleep. Not far away Peter
Rabbit also was taking nap. Peter
had hidden in u hollow log. 1t was
log that was open at both ends. Peter
learned long ago that it isn't safe to
hide in hollow log unless it is open
at both ends. He hadn't intended to
SO to sleep. He had hidden there so
as to watch that pile of brush. Some
one had given him a dreadful fright
there and he wanted to know who it
was.
Peter was awakened by a familiar
sound. His eyes flew open. 1t was
broad daylight. 1t was a beautiful
October morning. He pricked UP his
long ears. He heard that sound
again.
"Bowser the Hound. exclaimed
Peter. Il wonder what he is doing
over here. l wonder who he is fol-
lowing. They are not my tracks he
is following. l can tell by the way
he barks. 1 guess the wisest thing
Tor me to do is to stay right here.
Even If he should find me in this
old log he couldn't get at me-"
Now at just about this same time
Bobby Coon under the brush pile
awoke. He had heard Bowsers voice.
He listened anXiously. There it was
again, little nearer and a little
louder. Bobby knew whose trail
Bowser was following with that won
derful nose of his.
1t is my trail" thought Bobby, and
fear once more filled his heart 1T
is my trail. He'll find mo under this
pile Of brush. l can't run. I've got
to stay here. l can't climb a tree
with this dreadful trap on my foot.
And l can't run with it. 1 can't even
tight very well. Perhaps he won't
try to get in under here. Oh. dear,
Oh, dear! If he does get under here
he will make an end of me. Ouch!'
Bobby had moved that paw on which
the little can held fast, and it had
hurt.
Nearer and nearer sounded Bowsers
great voice. There was no doubt
about it now, he was following Bobby
Coon's trail. Bow, WOW, WOW, wow!'
rang Bowsers great voice through
the Green Forest. Now and then he
would lose the trail, and have to hunt
and hunt for 1t. But always he found
it again and drew nearer and nearer
to Bobby Coon's hiding place.
At last he reached the little open

der the brush. His nosetold him that
Bobby was under there. Ny, how ex-
cited Bowser became! His voice
changed. When he had been follow
ing the trail he had barked in a way
that is called baying. Those bark s
were long, deep, rather musical barks.
Now his barks were short, sharp and
fast. He was greatly excited. He
began to dig at that little opening
under the brush to make it bigger.
He would try to crawl in, then he
would back out and dig a little more.
