Men and women take infinite
pains to learn how to drive off in
golf. They will spend days learning
Just how the different clubs should
be held and swung and what the
game is all about.
Learn the Rules
The same is true in tennis. The
rules are learned first. Each stroke
means something. Children are
taught how to serve, when to use
backhand or overland and so on.
This holds for dancing also. No
one is expected to dance Just be-
cause he is standing on dance
floor. He learns the steps before he
starts out.
But swimming Is a sport that
really is not given fair chance.
Folks put on pretty bathing suits,
expect to swim Immediately and
grow discouraged when they don't.
That is the wrong attack. There
ere certain rules, much simpler
than the rules of other enjoyable
sports or games.
Learn these first. Then you can
swim. You will be surprised how
easy it is.
Health Is Sure
Aside from the pleasure. which is
what we both think of first when
swimming is mentioned, there is the
health that is derived from constant
swimming.
Swimming can do more for per-
son than any other single sport.
If you are thin, swimming will
fit you out. Especially if your neck
is scrawny, you will be surprised
how it rounds out from swimming.
On the other hand, if you are
overweight, swimming makes The
pounds roll off.
Ailments are Cured
Recently much work has been
done to show how beneficial SWIM
ming is as a corrective for cGrva-
ture of the spine, for legs left use
less from infantile paralysis ana for
other crippled conditions.
Add to the physical good that
swimming brings one the lit OF
spirit that good swim induces, and
you will agree with us when we
advocate swimming for everyone.
Our advice is, however, Learn
how. Then swim, for health and
happiness,

Two Hours Required for

Executions.

BIZ United Press
WESTERN KENTUCKY PENN
TERTIARY, EDDYVILLE, KY, July
1S.-Four white men and three
Negroes were executed in the cleo
trio chair here early today. The
record executions required an hour
and 81 minutes.
Only one of the seven maintained
his Innocence, while three OF The
white men made confessions Just
before the current was sent into
their bodies.
A last-minute effort was MADE to
save the life of Orlando Seymour,
20, of Louisville, known as the "Gime
bandit" He was convicted for kill
ing a Louisville coal dealer in a
small holdup.
Attorneys had obtained writ of
habeaS corpus against Seymour's
execution and this was dismissed.
Then they attempted to obtain a
stay of execution, pending a hear
ing on Seymour's sanity. That ike
wise was refused, and the youthful
bandit was led to the death
chamber.
Six Others Die
The other six executed were:
Milford Lawson, 35, Corbin, KY
who killed a man in a feud.
Rascue Dockery, 27, a young noun
taineer convicted of killing two
women and a man in Harlan County
Kentucky.

Ger in a holdup.
