HAWAIIAN TINY FISH
EXTERMlNATE MOSQUITOES

Paris,-(P1-The Departments Of
Southern France have decided to
bring a few million "gambusia pat
ruclis," tiny fish, from Hawaii in
an effort to exterrlinate the mosque
toes. An attempt to breed these
small fishes in France will be made,
and if the venture proves successful
they will be placed in all the ponds
and water pools on the Riviera.
They eat the mosquito larvae with
avidity.
Two barrels Of the fishes would be
enough to kill all the mosquitoes in
Southern France, the officials esti :

after reading an American Health
Department report in which 1t was
claimed that the "gambusia," taken

Good Luck-Always On Hand

Some people seem to have better luck than
others. They "run into" more opportunities.
They find more chances to 'pck up" things
they want. They manage to save money here
and there 'just by luck"
The fact that they use good judgment in
their spending that they are wde-awake
buyers, that they make opportunities come
their way-isn't always appreciated.
But good management-rather than good
luck-is the secret of most good fortune
And good management, in filling many of
the needs of everyday life, depends largely on
keeping in touch with the time and money

dence and assurance by teaching
himself that dog paddle. he can't be
gin too soon to learn strokes. A few
are really all a man needs; I'm going
to describe the crawl, the side stroke
and a back stroke.
Learn the Right Rhythm.
was speaking of leg rhythm -
That means the number of beats or
kicks your legs make to accompany
each arm stroke. Swimmers develop
a natural rhythm. usually of four or
six beats to the stroke. The leg
stroke Is a whip of the whole leg
from the hip down, with almost no
bend of the knee and with a pointed
toe. The idea, Of course, is to force
the water away from you by the
drive of the leg, and to make this
drive continuous; that is why the beat
must be fairly rapid and why the legs
must alternate, one always on the up
stroke, one on the down.
Trunk muscles are used in the leg
stroke. particularly those in the alb
domen. Proper use of them will
bring your body naturally into, d
curved position, back in a concaVe
arch. That is the proper swimming
position. Every swimmer has a
natural tendency to accent a particu-
lar beat Of his leg stroke; it's "a ten
dency that should be overcome as
much as possible, however. In the
straight crawl stroke there is no ac-
cent. In the "trudgeon crawl there
may be a single beat as the arm
which brings the face out of water
to inhale RECEIVERS, or a double beat,
one with the recovery of each arm.
Now the arms. Every chap knows
that the crawl is characterized by the
long, easy sweep of one arm after
the other above the water, ahead of
the body, down through the water to
the side of the body. out and up again.
1t sounds and looks simple; but there
are a dozen possible faults.
How to Use Arms.
Let's start with the arm in its posi-
ton at the completion of a stroke.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-06-29
Euer One Can and Should o, Says Noted Coach

trailing in the water beside the body,
palm in. The first movement after a
stroke is finished is quick bend of
| the elbow which brings the arm out
| of water, elbow up and out to the
side just little. shoulder barely out
| Of water, finger tips trailing along the
surface. Extend the arm slowly until
1t reaches a position straight ahead
of the shoulder-it should be timed to
do so just as the other arm completes
it's stroke. Be mighty sure that the
hand doesn't cross the 'median line"
of your body-that is, that it doesn't
extend over in front of your head.
1t should go almost exactly ahead Of
the shoulder, neither out nor in.
Dig your hand into the water first
for the "catch" Of the stroke, and
make the catch hard. Follow it up
with the whole arm, sweeping in a
long, powerful stroke down through
the water and to the position from
which it started, at the side of your
body.
That's the arm stroke. Tied closely
with it is proper breathing-you've
already become accustomed to breath
ing out under water. You'll fall into
d habit of always inhaling ON one
side or the other-that is, always with
the right arm out of water or always
with the left. II you inhale as the
right arm RECEIVERS, you1l do so by
turning your head to the right and
gulping in through your mouth; then
you IL exhale as the left arm RECEIVERS,
blowing the air forcibly from your
lungs with your face submerged.

scissors kick-a forceful snap of the
legs from an extended position to a
closed position, much in the manner
of pair of scissors. 1t is not made
so rapidly as the crawl kick, and 1t
does not supply a steady forward i'm
pulse like the other.
A third stroke that every swimmer
ought to know is the back stroke
the stroke in which Warren Kealoha
Hawaiian boy, is so proficient In
rhythm, principle and execution it
is much like the crawl stroke, but it
is easier in many ways.
Remember this, first of all-always
keep your body straight in the back
stroke. If you find that, with your
body straight, your knees are splash
ing through the surface, you can
Jack" or bend at your hips. That
will keep your legs just below the
surface, which is the proper place for
them. The kick is the crawl leg
stroke, with the same rhythm you
have learned to use.
Secrets of Back Stroke.
The arm stroke is the same over
head swing also. At the completion
of the stroke your arm is at the side
of your body. palm turned away from
it, little finger up. Bend your elbow
high. bringing the arm completely out
of water; let your elbow lead as you
sweep your arm backward on Il line
with your shoulder. Catch the water
straight ahead of your shoulder, just
as in the crawl; don't let your hand
cross the median line of your body.
Then execute the backward pull by
bringing your arm around to the side
~ MA
than s inches under water; if you do
you'll lose power. And remember. as
it approaches your side, that you must
rotate your palm so that it will end
in that position with the little finger
up.
When you learn those three strokes
YOU will have equipment that will do
for YOU just about anything you'll
need as a swimmer. The crawl stroke
is the fastest in the world-aS you'll
realize II you ever see Johnny Wels-
muller or Bronson, the Yale man,
who holds the intercollegiate 100yard
title. doing it--and it's excellent for
long swims as well. The side stroke is
q carrying stroke, and both 1t and
the back stroke are good as rests"
from long grind at the crawl.
Breast Stroke Not Good.
Most fellows | advise not to bother
much with the breast stroke. It's not
of much use except as a kind of trick
stroke for a special kind of race, and
is hardly worth much time.
A thing that is worth a lot of a
swimmer time, though. is the right
kind of out of water exercise. Long
supple trunk and arm and leg muscles
are vital to the success OF a swim
mer: he can do a lot to improve his
work in the water if he'll set out to
develop them.
The kind of exercise he should seek
Is the thing that will build up chest,

of this opportunity.
The club is supplying everything
but the willingness. Jim Mcnamara

class. If you can't swim, there never
has been a better time or chance to

like to take dip you are welcome
also.
The classes will be held twice a

and would like to take part are once
more informed that this affair and
those coming are closed to outsiders,
but that any boy can join by filling in
the club pledge. Whether you are
interested In this swimming venture

There are affairs coming in which you
will want to be active and may miss
