looked at them severely.

FL Comancho s Stories

A CANOE is a fine boat if you understand II.
but very dangerous craft If YOU don't
know what it can and will do and Why it
does it. All boats, canoes included, float with
a part above the water line and part below it,
This water line is the pivotal point about
which you should be well informed.
The weight in boat, no matter what 1t is,
is never dangerous as long as it Is below the
water line, but any weight above this line is
always dangerous. This means that canoe
will not overturn if you sit on the bottom, but
it viii upset if you sit on high seat or on
one Of the braces (the cross pieces near either
end).
Now, why is this so? Because when YOU sit
on the bottom, the weight is below the pivotal
point (Which Is the water Nne) and to unset
the canoe you would have to raise the weight
to point above the water line, which would
thus make the canoe topheavy This TSAns
that the weight would try to get below the
water line Of its own accord, and to do this it
would have to tip the canoe over.
You will soon learn this II you handle
canoe, because the boat will teach Won It's
tricks by tipping you out when you sit high
above the bottom, while it viii be as steady as
wagon If you keep your weight down in the
bottom where it belongs. When in a canoe or
other small boat, always remember that Won
should never put your hands on the sides of
the craft. why?
The reason is quite simple When won sit
on the bottom of floating canoe your weight
will force it down into the water, but it win
float because your weight is not enough to push
it down to where the water would run in over
the sides. Thus your weight makes the boat
stable and safe by holding it down where it
cannot tip over. But as soon as you place your
hands up on both sides of the canoe. trying
to lift yourself to your feet you lift your weight
on the floor, which was below the water line
and transfer it to the top of che sides, danger
ously far above the water line And any weight
above this pivotal point viii tip the canoe over.
SO just remember this: When you get into
a canoe, sit on cushion in the bottom 0lnless
you are an old and experienced canoeis0 and
see that every one else sits or kneels ON the
moor rather than on a high seat. Also make
sure that nobody in the boat puts his hands

again he had to stand, clinging to strap. He
could not Danish feeling of intense disap-
pointment because MIR. Jones had refused to
give him chance at reporting, but he tried
to cheer himself with the thought that he
might get his opportunity later on.
Leaving the train at his station, he started
on the short walk home. Just as he crossed
the street, that was main auto route through
this section Of the city, he was startled by a
loud report. Passersby gazed about anxiously,
for this was neighborhood where shooting was
not uncommon, but Jimmy soon saw that the
noise had been tire blowing out. He saw
large, shining limousine pull to the curb,
while q uniformed chauffeur got out and
gazed ruefully at the fattened tire. Then he
spoke a moment to some one in the rear of
the pretentious car, got back behind the
wheel and pulled the car off this main street
into the side street where Jimmy lived. When
Jimmy reached the front of his home, the
car was parked there, and the perspiring chauf-
feur, with coat cap and collar removed was
struggling with his jack to raise the front
wheel.
Fine cars were a rare sight in this part of
the city, and crowd of boys and girls with
dirty faces and shabby clothes was soon gath
cred along the curb. Jimmy paused moment
to watch the chauffeur then went into the
