LEARN RHYTHM
Regularity of Stroke and Breathing Should Be
Swimmers Aim, Twins Say.

BY THE Z1TENFIELD TWINS
For NEA Service
Stroke and breathe. These are
two things you must learn stimuli
taneously if you are serious about
this learning how to swim.
Some folks breathe more easily
on their right sides. Others on
their left. Some can breathe on
both sides with the same ease.
Your breathing has a lot to do
with your physical condition, This
is where the person wins who does
not smoke or eat candy or other
things that tend to create gas. Gas
shortens the breath, of course, and
binders the swimmer.
Breathe Through Mouth
Breathe in through your mouth
easily, fully. Turn your head to
one side to do it. Hold it as you
stroke
Take a full deep breath for every
full stroke.
The crawl stroke is six beat
stroke. Kick feet three times to
each arm stroke. It has about it
the rhythm of a windmill and I'M
less you can become as regular in
your strokes as the turn of wind
mill wheel. you cannot hope to dc
long distance swimming or sprint
swimming either
Coordination is one thing you
is a lot like dancing, In fact, the
crawl stroke could be done perfectly
to dance music. You dance in the
water. but with both your arms and
legs.

Beginning with your left arm. say
shoot your arm out easily, as far
ahead of you as possible. Keep il
slightly curved. Turn your head to
one side and breathe in deeply as
your hand cuts the water. When
your left arm extends its farthest.
your right arm is just as far behind
your head as your left is In front of
it, Your arms must stand equi-
distant
Strive for Rhythm
When you bring your forward
hand back, you get your speed.
Keep fingers tight together. Use
them as a paddle and push the
water easily but strongly. The more
YOU cut the water, the faster your
stroke. Your speed and your
strength both depend on the way
you scoop the water as your hands
drive downward and back
You must practice until your
muscles get strong enough to get all
the strength possible on this stroke.

ceptlbly showing It is a. matter OF
practice and getting just the right
rhythm and force
The good swimmer ha. equal
strength in both arms. But most
beginners can make much faster
strides with one arm than with the
other. Concentrate on making
your weak arm rival your strong
one And above all, try to feel the
flow of rhythm through your body.

Restitution from Samuel Brix-

The words, almost whispered by
Lillian, seemed to ring through the

amazement and a touch of the su-
perstitious terror which the first
sight OF the letter she just had re-

Now there was a very great differ

Browns Boy and Bowser the Hound
undertook to ind out who was in the
dear Old Briar-patch. Farmer
Browns Boy would stand still for a
minute or more at time listening
and peering in through the briars.
He was looking for Peter Rabbit, or
Mrs. Peter and for glimpse of some
OF their children. if they had any.
Wherever there was an opening in
the briars or the bushes he would
stop and peer in. Bowser, on the
other hand, didn't bother to listen or
look. He went along the edge of
the dear Old Briar-patch with his
nose to the ground. shifting and sniff
fling. Whenever he found a little
opening where he could poke his
head in. he would do this and sniff
louder.
At the entrance to one OF Peter
Rabbits little paths he would spend
considerable time shifting.

The Jackson Day dinner arranged by the Democratic National Committee is now past his tory It was an elaborate function, fruitful with promise prophecy and hope It's keynote, preservation of representative free government. is beyond all cavil the most important issue in America today.
 As is usual at this historic function, fervent pleas flor party harmony ware made by those nstrusted with party present leadership. Could this ha rmony be achieved, and could the party in truth and fact return to the principles of Jackson and Jefferson, with courage to proclaim and battle for obvious issues vital to the we'll being cf this nation there is possibility that the Democratic standard would lead the van of tri- umphant victory in the ensuing campaign for the Presidency and control of the Government.
 A rededcation to the principles of democracy should be meaningful and uncompromisng. The country has heard the disciples of the Democratic faith Tradition awaits the fulfllment of reiter- ated party vows. Circumstances may be nodded to the will of an aroused. enthused, enlightened party leadership The ideas of fateful Novem- Der will witness whether democracy again can as sume the prestige and power, the patriotic use fulnegs SO essential to the progressive unfold ing of bright national destiny
 Harmony there must be- and recognition of the full rights of the States under the guar antees of the Federal Constitution.
 As Senator Reed proclaimed: We shall sue ceed if we proceed in wisdom' As Governor Smith advised the party dares not rely alone upon the mistakes of its adversaries As Gov ernor Ritchie declared. all semblance of bigotry and intolerance must be abjured, repudiated.
 Will the great Democratic Party be able to present a united front in the coming campaign; be able to win to condition of invncible har- mony? If so, the way of the party to victory will be fairly cleared
 The hope of this Government depends upon the coherence, character and patriotism of the Republican and Democratic Parties.

This, in relation to the proposed local shelter harbor for small sea-going craft with the approval of proposals yesterday, by Army Engineers. for the development of refuge harbor in Resurrection Bay and with the initial expenditure, just half of the estimate for the completion of the project comes additional assur- ance that Seward and this immediate region is on the threshold of natural development which even the most far-seeng of citizens hesitate to boast of

 The halibut fishermen and others who pioneer the waters of the North Pacific have asked little but have been willing to chance many hazards in the pride of their dangerous calling
 A safe haven for these little deep-sea craft and sturdy crews, in Resurrection Bay is now almost a certainty; and in behalf of fishermen and citizens of Seward, thanks are hereby extend ed to the l. s. Army Engineers for visioning the needs of this practical project and for theii desire for quick action in instituting the work.
