VANITY OF SWIM ERS
CAUSES MANY DEATHS
Desire to Display Skill Before
Fair Admirers Often Fatal,
Director Holds.

The desire Of single men between
the ages of Is and SO years to show
their Sweethearts what good swim
mers they are is the cause Of the
greatest number of drownings, says
w. E. Longfellow, field director of
first-aid work for the American Red
Cross
Speaking on first aid at luncheon
of the Lions Club in the Mayfiower
Hotel yesterday, Mr.. Longfellow said
that men between those ages like to
show their sweethearts that they can
swim great distances. with the result
that many get tired and drown.
Others, he added, in an endeavor to
show their holiness, dive off high
places without stopping to see how
deep the water is they are diving int,
with the result that they get killed.
The speaker gave an illustration of
artificial respiration and described
first-aid methods which he stated
would often save lives. There are
% 900 deaths a year in this country
from drowning, suffocation, gas and
e1ectrocution, he said. He added
there are an additional $4,000 deaths
year resulting from accidents in the
home, such as falling off Of ladders
and others.
He spoke of the importance of as
many persons as possible learning how
to rescue drowning person, telling
of course of instruction in that work
being conducted each day in the swim
ming pool of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association Building, Eighteenth
and G. streets.
He advised persons desiring to go
canoeing to learn swimming first. DIR.

No Changes Planned
in Whippet Design

A statement Just issued by WHY'S
Overland, Inc, makers of the Whip
pet and Willys-Knight, says that no
changes are being anticipated IN
Whipped design or construction and
that the success achieved by this car
has been such as to indicate the
adoption of Whippet features by
other cars in the near future.
New design introduced into the
light car market by the Whippet, SO
the statement says, include four
wheel brakes, low swung bodies
higher compression ratio in the mo-
tor. higher rate of piston travel and
greater power development from the
dimensions of the motor than have
hitherto been obtained in the power
plants used in light cars built as
standard production.
1t is cited by WHY'S Overland that
the most recent announcement in the
four cylinder field dwells upon in
creased power Development, lower
distribution Of weight and greater
compactness in body dimensions
without decrease in the amount OF
disable room in the bodies.
Rumors regarding forthcoming de-
yelopments in light car manufacture
dwell heavily upon four-wheel brakes
and it is generally anticipated that
this typ Of braking equipment will
be in general use among all cars
within the next several months. The
Whippet is the only light car at the
present time on which fouf-wheel
brakes are standard national equip
ment.
It is generally anticipated by mo-
tor car authorities that the next light
car production will show power de.
veiopm rents similar to those which
were. established in the Whippet mo.
tor which today develops greater
horsepower per cubic inch Of pas,
ton displacement than any other light
car power plant.

South Africa Sends
Praise for Chryslel

South Africa is the latest country
to send it's tribute Of praise for re-
markable Chrysler exhibitions. One
of these, about which newspaper ac-
counts have just reached the Chrysler
offices in Detroit, revealed hill
climbing ability that made a power
full impressi ion on the sport loving
British people in the southern COM
monwealth.

The Natal Motorist. which printed
a similar account Of the climb, closes
its story with even stronger praise
by saying:
This proves that the Chrysler has
an abundance of both speed and pow
er to spare, as it can take extraor'

Spanish Film Stars.
Get Meager Salaries

Madrid, Aug. 29.-tP,-Even an
ordinary movie actor from Holly
wood would 20 hungry working In
Spanish films. Five hundred pesetas,
equal to 500, is the highest sum ever
yet paid to the leading artist for his
or her part in film, while the
.auxiliaries,'' or extras, receive the
equivalent of one to two dollars for
a full days work, ranging from eight
to twelve hours.
There are no real producers Of
films in Spain. Several firms with
high sounding titles have studios for
hire to anybody who wishes to reel
off a film. These studios are just
glass rooted sheds erected on vacant
lots. The biggest Of them is s. feet
long, with fifteen arc lamp and big
reflector.
The directors usually are the
owners Of the studios, most of whom
have very limited acquaintance
with acting or screen work, and the
capitalist who backs picture thinks
from the beginning about his profits
.and continually suggests economies
in production.
The Spanish film which has pro-
duced most profits in this country
is "Nobieza Baturra," which cost
about $500 to shoot and advertise
Other films have cost more, but
probably the sum Of $4,000 has never
been passed.
The maximum salary ever received
by a film "star" was 5000 pesetas
! for q months contract, about $1,000
and the artist was called on to per.
form in a dozen films.
