this often, and you will soon find that
it will not be as hard to do the second
time as 1t was the first; and soon you
will be doing it unconsciously.
Floating for some people seems to
be impossible, but this is due to the
mistaken idea that the head, arms and
toes must be on the surface of the
water. When floating correctly only
the nose and the mouth are out of the
water. OF course, folks whose bodies
are covered with large amount of ex-
cess fat and are very buoyant will find
themselves able to raise the toes and
hands out of the water but this is not
necessary. One thing to remember Is
that the lower the body is in the
water the more buoyant it becomes.
To test yourself for floating ability,
get into eThe water, submerge your
face and grasp the ankles, bringing
the knees up, with the face forward,
and then let go of your grip on the
bottom. If you float your back will
come to the surface and you will have
no trouble learning to swim.
The two positions in which the body
will float are the horizontal and the
vertical. TO float in the horizontal po.
sition. spread the arms either out at
the side or above your head, with the
legs spread out and the knees bent
and with the feet together, Keep the
head back. Remember one very inn

These braided rugs are easily made
and wear well. Both are made from
braided rag strips of various colors
and fabrics.
Tear the old cloth into strips one
inch wide and sew them together. The
actual braiding can be done in one
long strand-enough for q whole rug.
Get large paper elliptic pincer
type. and hook it over a nail. Put
three strips in this and commence the
braiding. When a few feet have been
completed open the jaws of the clip
and run the braided portion through.
To make the work easier, you can sew
the strips together as they give out.
This prevents tangling.
Commencing at the center, now be-
gin to sew the braided strip in an ever
larger spiral. Take care TO keep the
braid fiat upon the floor or table. Use
thread which does not show, sewing
the strands together at the sides. The
last round is made. then the end care
fully cut and sewed to the edge. No
fringe Is necessary on this rug.
The rectangular rug is also made of
the braided strands, but these run
parallel and double sharply back at
the ends. A fringe made either of
yarn, heavy cloth, cut with shears, or
the fringe from an old window cur
tain, should be sewed to each end to
complete this rug.
Careful choice Of colors will help
to make these rugs more attractive,

portant point-the farther back you
keep your head the higher your feet
will be. You will find after consider
able practice that the body will float
in one position. Keep this position, II
possible.
The most important factor in float
ing is the breathing. This is done by
quickly eXhaling and quickly inhaling
the air. Hold the air in the lungs as
long as possible. Breathe deeply and
fully, for II you just take in little
air the body will sink. Floating is
very important, as it is a means Of
resting and relaxing, and it helps you
in swimming more easily.
There are five really important quail
tiles you will need to develop so that
you can learn to swim well. Some of
these will come easily and others will
require much hard work. However,
with some hard work upon the more
difficult ones there is no reason why
you cannot learn them all and become
a proficient swimmer.
The first quality is the most i'm
portant one. This is confidence in the
water. AS long as you fear the water
you cannot develop this quality. The
water must be your friend, and the
better friend you make it the more
confidence you will get. There Is
nothing to be afraid Of in the water.

The loss of life is heaviest among

aster could have been averted il some

swimming and life-saving. Today not

To the average person swimming is
an art shrouded in mystery, and to
him it appears that the accomplished
swimmer is endowed with special gifts
and talents denied the ordinary per.

The big bugaboo that you, as a pro.
spective swimmer, must overcome Is
fear of the water. This fear that you
have Is probably caused by your hav-
ing heard of some drowning accident,
or perhaps some time in your life some
foolish person threw you in and gave
you an awful scare. Maybe there was

This fear in some cases is subcon.

There are various causes for the

breathing, and If syou practice this
faithfully. the breathing ought to
come easily. If one can breathe while
in the water there is no reason for
drowning. 1t is merely a matter of
holding the breath when the face is
submerged and renewing this supply
when the face is out. Remember, you
