While this made a tremendous impression upon me, I realized the advantages of this new develop ment in science, particularly as it referred to myself and other sea- farers. The radio was first used in saving lives in January, 1909, when the steamer Florida and the Republic crashed during a fog off Nantucket Lightship. You will probably recall that the. radio oper- ator, Jack Binns of the Republic, was the outstanding hero and when the rescued crew returned to New York, happened to be in port and made every effort to get a glimpse of Jack to find out what a hero really looked like.
 The wireless has been used to great advantage in giving first aid to the injured and sick on various ships that did not carry doctors. Every ship carries a medicine lock- CT as part of it's equipment When man is injured or is i'll, the cap tain of the ship frequently com municates by radio with the near est vessel carrying physician. The symptoms or description of the in- jury are given in detail and the doctor prescribes accordingly. In this way the pain of the sufferer is relieved and cures are many times effected.
 Another thrill experienced with radio occurred when I was chief of ficer of the America in 1921. Ex- periments were being conducted in wireless telephony between tn America and shore stations. The America was 450 miles off the coast approaching New York when Capt William Rind and and sev- eral others talked to a number of persons ashore.
 This was really a thrill. The America was in heavy sea. The men with whom I spoke, some of whose voices I easily recognized, swere sitting in offices or in tteir living rooms at home and told us how comfortable they were and how pleasing the weather was.
 At sea it was terribly cold and the ship was making only light hcadway because the sea was heavy. Conversations were conduct ed from the radio room of the America into ordinary telephcaes and were transmitted by air to Deal, N. J., where there was re- ceiving station. The voice wos carried by land wire to the nome of the receiver.
 This scheme proved practical but I have since been informed that be- cause of the heavy expense involved it could not be further developed so as to reduce the cost of conver- sations. However, this will come after while as a matter of COL, ;; so that it will be possible for you to sit in the stateroom of your ship, pick up the receiver and call your home or friends in almost any part of the world.

(As far back as 1905 wireless gave Fried thrill. Then it was personal messages. A few years later it was in connection with a rescue when he sought a view of radio operator hero under circumstances similar to those in which he years af- forwards was to be the central figure. His first ship to shore , audible communication is de- scribed as a real thrill.")

that idleness, lack of ambition, and
dissipation cannot go with thrift.
Those who are thrifty will always be
found in the march of progress. Some
will be more successful than others
the factors of circumstance and ability
will tell-but where there is thrift
there always will be progress. Where
there is lack of thrift there always
will be retrogression either present or
potential.
Those who are at this time leaving
our schools and colleges no doubt find
themselves the recipients of ample

prosperity, and happiness are the re-

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFTY
(By S. w. Strauss

This season of the year marks a
new epoch in the lives of large por-
tion of our population. 1t is the time
when thousands of our young people
are leaving institutions of learning
and going into the world of practical
affairs. 1t is in keeping with the
spirit of the day, therefore, that
thought be given to some of the prob
lens that will confront these young
people as they move forward in the
journey of life.
If it were possible to lay down a
general rule for the benefit of every
one, such a rule would be along the
lines of encouraging thrift practice
We all have different ambitions and
points of view. The philosophy of life
with each of us necessarily varies
somewhat. 1t is these differences in
sentiment and thought that underlie
the great drama of life. But we all
may be sure that there is no one
whose interests cannot be served
through thrift.
No matter what may be our en-
vironment, we can hope for no pro-
gress in life if we are wasteful of our
time, energies, health, and material
possessions. Thrift habits are safe
guard against practices that lead only
to failure.
We may differ on questions of

said. "But ] hadn't sized Bentley up
just that way. It's hard to tell. If
Carp shows up here again we'll make
him a visit in the middle of the night
and he won't trouble us much after
that"
"We'd better pay Slade night visit,
too," she said. Her feelings toward
Slade had undergone a complete re-
vulsion She knew beyond a doubt
that he had been responsible for the
raid on Three Bar bulls. The wild
bunch would have had no object In
such a foray. Figuring it from any
angle Slade was the only one man who
could possibly derive any benefit from
that. She had come to see that Slade
was fighting with his back to the
wall-that he had run his course and

st. Paul, Minnesota. = The "Old
Swimming Hole" as a time-hon-
ored place for play and recreation,
has found a defender. Neglected be-
cause of it's murky waters, condemned
because it might be breeding spot
of bacteria, the educational commit
tee of the Minnesota State Medical
association this week announces that
il the place is fed by constant waters
it is probably as good place to battle
in as some of the modern cement
pools.
THE things which make any swim
ming place a source from which dis
ease is spread, are the stagnation of
water in which many human bodies
have bathed, the unrestricted use of
the bathing place by sick and well
sewage" declares the bulletin of the
State Medical association.
Bacteria are dangerous if they are
disease producing, and disease pro-
ducing bacteria are most likely to be
shed from the bodies Of people, and
is, therefore important that all swim
ming pool water be as free from bac-
terra of human source as possible and
that all pools be so governed that
people who are obviously sick are ex-
cluded from bathing in them. The
old swimming hole was not dangerous
because it was usually off the trail

constantly purified by the flow of the
stream.
Because of the necessity of organ
lied play and partly because of mod
ern prejudice to bathing in natural
waters, many types of artificial out
door pools have been constructed as
well as indoor pools. These places
when not properly operated become
stagnant water filled with the bac-
terra washed from the bodies of hun
dreds of bathers. They are far more
dangerous than the creek or lake.
Swimming in natural waters is
safe, provided they are not polluted
artificial pools, either outdoor or in
door, is safe provided they are operated
according to present day sanitary
rules. 1t is possible to have, and all
well regulated pools do have, the
water in swimming pool as pure as
drinking water. Before you go in,
look at the water. Is it clear, and can
you see the bottom of the pool? Ask
the keeper at what temperature the
water is kept. 1t should be very
close to ~ degrees Fahrenheit, and
the room in which the pool is located
should be about two degrees warmer
than the water.
IF the water is not kept clear and
clean by constant refiltration, it is
not sanitary pool. The water should
be refiltered at such rate as to pro-
vide one thousand gallons of fresh,
refiltered and disinfected water for
every twenty people who battle in the
pool during the day. Does the man.
agement require all bathers to take
a soap shower before going into the
pool, and does it exclude from the
pool room all people except the bath
ers? When these conditions are full
filed, the modern artificial pool wins,
but if they are not, take your chance

Billie rode Papoose away from the
ranch, intending to make { long-de-
terred visi; to the Brandons.
After covering two-thirds of the dis
lance along the foot of the hills to
the V L she saw rider dip over
ridge two miles away. She unslung
Harris glasses and dismounted to
watch for his temperance. When he
came again into her field Of view an
other man was with him and they
were driving q few head of cows be-
fore them.
She mounted Papoose and angled
across to intersect their course.
As Papoose topped a low no, lac
that flanked the valley she saw the
men riding toward her down the bot.
toms, driving twenty or more head of
cows. One of the horses threw up his
head, his ears pricked sharply toward
her, and the swift upward tilt of the
riders ha+, as swiftly lowered, in
formed her that she had been sighted.
The other man did not look up. They
lifted thei- horses from a walk to
stiff trot and leered past the cows,
then looked up as just aware of her
approach, and waited for her. The men
were Bentley and Carp.
Bentley greeted her cheerily. Carp
nodded without word.
"What are you two doing up here?"
she demanded without parley.
II repped with the Three Bar wag-
on and Carp worked with you for a
spell, so we sort of know the range"
Bentley explained. "Slads sent us to
drift any strays back south"
"ThOse you were driving are Three
Bar stuff-every hoof," she said "All
twO-year-old she-stock."
Bentley turned and regarded the lit
tie herd they had just passed.
"Thell? Shove wasn't driving
Them" Bentley denied easily. 'They
just drifted ahead Of us as we rode
down thu bottoms. A COW critter will
always move on ahead of a man. We
rode on past 'em as soon as we de-
cided to amble along"
She knew that they were on safe
ground. Any COW would drift on be-
fore horseman.
'"The only way to convict ian on
a case like this is to shoot him out of
the saddle before he has chance to
pass the cows" she said. That's
what will happen to the next Slade
rider that gets noticed with any Three
Bar cows moving out In front of him
and headed south. You can carry that
word to Slade."
