Swim just as you did in your orig
inal backstroke except that you do
not use your hands. Keep them lying
loosely at your sides at first. Later
you can practice swimming with your
hands pointed back of your head, and
also with them folded over your chest
or under your head. This method
of swimming on the back with the
foot movement only is the basis of

three Of the five standard methods of
life saving. 1t is splendid for develop
ing strength in YOUR legs and alb
domen.
Practice long, smooth strokes, al
lowing yourself to glide as far as pos
sible on each stroke before begin
ming the next one. Ride as convenient
when you are towing another person.
This method is very restful as well
as useful. When making long swims
turn on your back frequently and
swim with your feet in order to rest
yourself. Try swimming down the
pool on your breast or side stroke
turn and come back on back stroke
swimming just with your feet and
resting your arms. Take 1t SLOWLY
and easily but put plenty of force
into your leg movement and be sure
to glide on each stroke before be-
ginning next. Never hurry. Breathe
naturally.

The measure will give the Presi.
dent complete authority to put

he approves into effect.
He would have the power Of an
absolute veto over recommends
lions OF the board which did not

under the proposed bill. would have

While the bill would give the

Senator Norris Warns Of
Party Disaster # Dis
cipIining' Continues

Republicans who seek to throw
out Of the party those who do
not agree with them were warned
today by Senator George w. Nor
ris (Rep.) Of Nebraska, spokesman
for the Insurgent bloc, that their
discipline would be step toward
provoking . political revolution
which could end only in driving
the G. o. P. from power.
Further punishment Of Sena-
tors who disagree with the Presi-
dent, Norris declared, would
make mockery Of the Constitu-
ton and destroy the constitutional
prerogatives Of Congress-" to act
as Z check upon the Chief Execu-
tive. He denounced the proposed
chastisement of Senator Bob La
Toilette a. an effort on the part
Of few self-c0nstituted leaders,
IN dominate the American Cow
ernments and named President
Coolidge Is one Of those respon-
sible.
Bob Doesn't Care
The youthful La Toilette, Norris
added, wouldn't cross the street tc
get any Senatorial committee assign.
ment and doesn't care what the Re
pubIicans do to him."
Administration leaders meanwhile
were still seeking q compromise In
the intra-party row which followed
efforts of Senators Watson Rep.l
Of Indiana. and Butler Rep.l Of
Massachusetts, TO force the expul.
sion Of La Toilette. Their cause
was considerably strengthened by
La Follette's own action in describ
ing himself as a Republican pro
gressivep in the Congressional
Directory.
A large number of conservative
Republicans, led by westermers
however, insisted young Bob he ad
mitted to the party ranks without
further ado. A party conference
undoubtedly will be called to settle
the issue by a formal vote.
Norris. however, denounced the
delay in seating young Bob.
When a man gets the Repub
lican nomination in his State and ID
elected by the Republicans Of his
State to the Senate, no one, not
even President Coolidge, Jim Wat
son or Chairman Butler, has the
right to order him excluded from
the Republican party" said Norris,
"If they are going to establish a
three.man autocratic. triuInvirate to
punish Senators who speak their
convictions, it is time for the
country to find that out.
Revolt Held Sure
These alleged Republican leaders
are demonstrating they are incom
petent to administer authority. They
are riding to ruin and q continue
ton Of such a policy OF autocratiC
power can end only in q political
revolution, which will drive them
all out Of office.
''In founding this Government
the constitution created three sepa
rate branches, distinct one from
another. The legislative branch
was created to act as a check upon
the executive branch and once the
President of the United States has
acquired an autocratic Dictatorship
| over Congress, our Republican
form of Government will be over
thrown"
Young La Toilette apparently il
not concerned with the fight over
his Republicanism. He declined tt
comment on the issue and told in
quirers he had asked no assign
ments from the Republican party.
