The first step in learning how to swim is to overcome fear of the water.
 The best way to do this. of course. is to grow used to the water while still young. Mother used to take us in swimming when we were tiny babies. But We never were afraid of the water. It is a mistake to take any child into the water who is afraid.
 Give him a sand pail and shovel and let him dig around on the beach and before he knows it he will be wading. It is only a step more clear into the water.
 Our advice is not for babies, however. We want to try to help boys and girls and adults make up their minds to learn swimming.
 Don't Use Floats
 If starting in a pool, stick to the shallow end until you really can swim under your own power. Never use water wings. Try to duck and play ball or tag in the

The interior of the hospital was wrecked.
 The trouble arose when the phy- slcians ordered the transfer of one of the women to the psychopathic ward, an order to which her fellow patients objected.
 Ignoring threats to put them into strait jackets all 40 women at tackled the doctors, nurses and at- tendants demolished the furniture and bedding, smashed the window panes and threw the whole hospital into uproar. One woman in the midst of the excitement jumped from an upper window and was killed
 Police and soldiers were called ard firemen were ordered to turn water on the revolters, who there- upon barricaded themselves in the operating room, where they spent the night.
 When morning came bedlam broke out anew and several women attempted to Jump from the win dows because they were refused permission to attend the funeral of the patient who was killed the pre- vious day. Finally the rioters were overpowered one by one by armed soldiers who lodged them in padded cells

A Buoyant Feeling


 Stretch out your arms as you take a deep breath and push yours self from the side. If you hold your body out taut. you will find that you float across the wateE easily. You will have to try it many times before you can push more than halfway across tho tank. But this gives you . feel- ing of buoyancy that is essential to anyone who wants to swim.
 Try this dead mans float" foE only a few seconds the first time. Just to get the position. Then re- peat, trying to get | deeper breath and stay afloat longer. Never strain yourself trying to stay afloat longer than you can easily. That will come later.
 But the minute you accomplish a good dead mans float" you have learned several yaluabls things needed in swimming, buoy- ancy. the feel of water on the face. the ability to hold the breath without getting scared. and a sense of easy motion through the water.

If you do this easily. slowly, and try to en- joy it. you can easily grow u:ed to water without being afraid. And you should learn to keep your eyes open. too. Many per- sons fear to open their eyes.

 Stretch out upon the top of the water, face downwards. hands out in front, face under water, with breath held. The easiest way to do 1t is to start from the side of the tank and kick off with your feet.

Do Not Worry
 About Infant
Some Babies Learn to
 Talk Later.

Parents are often worried if eaby doesn't learn to talk as early as his older brother or sister. Per haps he is nearly two years old and beyond certain incoherent tab- berings makes little effort to say words
 Before long he will surprise you by seeming to learn all at once. But in the meantime his brain has not been idle - nor his voice. All the unintelligible bab- blings he makes are his attempts to put vowel sounds and con- sonant sounds together. A baby learns his vowel sounds very early. Even in crying he makes the vari- ous sounds of "a." His little noises of excitement are sounds of o, u, or e.
 Talking Ages Differ
 Probably the first consonant and vowel he puts together will be n and a. or m and a.
 Babies differ considerably in the age at which they begin to make sounds into words. Some times illness retards them or sometimes they are just slow without heing mentally deficient. But 1t is not unusual for q baby particularly if he is much alone, or has an untAlkative mother. to wait until he is P or 24 months.
 A baby understands many things long before he will begin to talk himself. At~7 or months he is usually able to distinguish the names of his sisters and brothers or recognize the name of . pet. But He Understands
 At | year. he is supposed to be able to understand between 7t

Whitey, Peter Rabbits white coated little son, left the Wood chuck's hole in which he had been hiding and at once started for the dear Old Briar-patch as soon as he had heard his mother thump. It was long run, but he wasted no time. What was happening to his mother, and why she didn't come with him. he, didn't know.

He hadn't the least idea that his mother was running for her life. so that he might get in safety to the dear Old Briar-patch.
 At last Whitey reached the dear Old r-patch, and with a sigh of relief and thankfulness dived into one of Peter Rabbits private little paths. He was safe now; he knew it. He turned to see if Mrs Peter was coming. but there was no sign of his mother He wasn't anxious however. His mother knew all about tho ways of the Great World. and he was sure that she was able to take care of herself.
 Whitey heard footsteps behind him. It was Peter Rabbit Where is your mother?" asked Peter.
