1t Is high time for America, to
adopt similar policy as a safeguard
against drownings, which are taking,
heavy toll Of life each Spring and
Summer in every casual swimming
hole, as well as the rivers, creeks
and bays. We are told that IL lives
were lost in one day from drowning
in this section of the country alone.
That's pretty high percentage when
we consider the fact that two-thirds
of these deaths were avoidable had
the people been able to swim.
Swimming courses In schools and
colleges should be made part of the
regular curriculum instead of an
elective subject. Every ablebodied
student should be required to take
swimming just as she or he takes
English or mathematics. Girls In
particular should be impressed with
the Importance of acquiring a knoWl-
edge of this sport. Boys are apt to
learn swimming as matter Of
course, but girls are prone to con-
slider 1t unnecessary, and IL they
happen to be at all Water-shy they
dismiss the matter of learning to
swim by saying. II simply cant do
it. If / ever get spill in the water,
Jimmie or Johnnie or some other
companion viii pull me out And

Every one can swim. The girl who
thinks she can't do It simply has
not tried hard enough. You may
never be able to play tennis accurate

eyesight. You may never get the

you can swim.

because they may lack that perfect
coordination Of muscles necessary 10
produce speed and grace In the water.
But 1t is safe to say that any able
bodied person, man or woman. who
follows the simple instructions for be-
ginners can master the ordinary side
orerarIn and breast strokes.
There is Just one thing to remen-
Der. You probably will not make the
grade the first time you try, nor
even the second or third. So do not
attempt to teach yourself to swim
unless some experienced swimmer Is
along to give you a boost when YOU
go under those first few times. Be.
cause your eyes are going to get full

too, without a doubt, and unless some
one is there to tell YOU to stand up
and clear out your nose and eyes, you
may be the victim Of panic-the swim

attempt to learn in deep water. Il
is foolhardy.
Girls in Washington have q golden
opportunity to learn swimming this
Summer in the municipal pool at the
Monument grounds. where classes are
being held three times a week for be-
ginners from $50 until 8. Monday.

he shall throw his eight into that

has been going In recent years this
has not been such tall order.
Were Callow to go to Harvard he
might well complicate Leaders New
Haven job. But why should he go?
He Is happy in Seattle; his home is
there and there are his friends. The
rowing material that comes to his
hands is altogether exceptional.
Those who care for him personally
would hate to see him exchange all
this for handful of silver and all the
irksome and annoying things that
would follow.

Governor Sorlie said he discussed
the situation with attorneys for Duis

These were recalled when it became
known that their validity would be

Mike Bray returned this morning
from Garrison where he battled with
Johnny Compton of Mmot last night.
Compton won from Brady in the fifth
round of an eight-round 60 after the
latter had been Knocked down seven
times.
Brady, who weighs l26 pounds, sub-
stituted on short notice and was out
weighed Is pounds, Compton weigh
ing in at lag. The smaller man won
the admiration Of the fans by his
gameness and willingness to stand up
and take abuse in order that the fans
might not be disappointed.
Brady fights at Linton next We'd
nesday night with some one not yet
named. Indications are that he may
face Tommy Short, the hard hitting
Indian of Linton. Short makes about
1876 pounds, so Brady will have to
give about nine pounds if the match
is arranged.
When this veteran featherweight
meets some. one his size he should

night and his gameness is unques-

SCOUT CApNIVAL |
IS MUCH ENJOYED

Whether the spectators or the per-

Scout carnival last evening at the
Presbyterian church is debated
question but both spent very en-
joyable evening.
Curt Remfry as the Wild Man put
fright in the hearts of many. A box
ing match of four ~one-minute rounds
between Louis McCrory and Archie
Welliver was managed by J. J. NJ.
Macleod and Hans Gran. Mrs. A.
M. Newton coached the short play,
"Here She Goes, There She Goes"
The leading parts were taken by Ger
aid vettel, Bob Olgierson and Har-
vey ErlersSeyer. Two readings by
Mrs. Newton were also enjoyed.
The trip through Hades proved
thrilling entertainment for many
and the fish pond was also very pop
ular. Ten dozen "hot dogs" were
sold during the evening.
The carnival was put on by the
Presbyterian troop of Boy Scouts
with the assistance Of Scoutmastel
F. ]. Grady. It was financially very
successful.

INSURANCE LAW
MAY BE TESTED
IN HIGH COURT
Barnes County Commission
ers Refuse to Insure Fire
proof Building

A new test Of the state fire insur-
ance law, under which all public
buildings are insured by the state.
Is in prospect as the result of the re-
fusal of the Barnes COUNT board of
commissioners to pay premiums on n
building at Valley City, it was said
at the state insurance department
office today.
In letter to Harold Hopton. man
ager of the fire and tornado insur-
ance fund, G. W. Nelson, Barnes
county auditor, said that the county
commissioners had repeatedly re-
fused to honor bill for Sl6960 as
premium on $4,000 insurance on the
county Jail and sheriff's residence.
The reason, he said, is that they do
not feel they should be obliged to
carry insurance on building which
is freproof. Nelson suggested that
the case be taken to the supreme
court in an effort to determine the
question Of whether or not counties
or other political subdivisions are re.
quircd by law to insure with the
state fund buildings which they CON
slider fireproof. If the supreme court
holds against them. Nelson said,
Barnes county citizens will make an
effort to have the law changed. At
present the statutes requige that all
public. buildings shall be Insured by
the state. Fircproof and semi-fre-
proof buildings carry lower prem
ium rate, but are not exempt from
insurance.
Will Start Suit
Hopton has referred the case to
the Attorney Generals office which
has notified the Barnes county offic.
ials that unless the premium is paid
slit will be instituted

The solicitation, for the most part,
will be confined to members of the
younger generation who get the most
benefit from the rink, although dona-
tions from anyone interested in sup
plying the youth of the city with a
means for healthy recreation will be
gratefully received. Parents whose
children benefit by the rink and who

OIL COMPANY
TO WORK NORTH
OF BISMARCK

The Cat Greek Oil company Of
Roundup, Mont. has taken oil leases
on about 1000 acres of land between
Wilton and Baldwin and will move in
complete drilling equipment early in
the spring. according to Fred Christ
enot Of Roundup. geologist. who has
been working in the vicinity between
Wilton and Robinson during the past
two months. Mr.. Christenot has COM
pleted his work for the Cat Creek
company. and is now doing. similar
work for several Bismarck men,
maintaining his headquarters at the
Grand Pacific hotel.
Mr.. Christenot claims to have locat-
ed an oil bearing structure between
Wilton and Baldwin and it was on
the basis Of his reports that the Cat
Creek Company made its leases. The
leases are practically all taken on
royalty basis. Mr.. Christcnot says
and active drilling operations must be
commenced before next fall or the
leases expire.
