Although the weather was cold
and somewhat backward this year
there were many people brave
enough to venture into the water
even In the very early spring. Most
Of these venturesome ones know
how to swim, but even among good
swimmers accidents often occur.
One may have q severe cramp In
the leg. OK other part OF the body:
q sudden sinking spell, or perhaps
an acute heart attack as q result
Of going into the water too soon
after eating. Any one Of these &C
cidents may result in tragedy, or
near tragedy. Every summer has
its quota OF accidents from drown
ing or some other water hazard.
At the first news Of drowning,
send for q doctor and a pulmotor.
You must not trust to your own
efforts, but make use Of them only
until a more experienced person ar
riveS on the scene.
As soon as q person who has
been submerged for any period OF
time is brought from the water, i'm
mediate steps should be taken to re-
store him. Perhaps these sugges-
tons will be helpful:
!. Do not waste time removing
clothing.
2. Place the victim face down.
ward on the ground, with q folded
coat r any other garment under
his chest.
3. Kneel at one side Of the pa
tents body, facing his head.
4. Place the hands on the lower
ribs and bear the weight OF your
body forward to produce pressure
on his chest.
5. Raise your body to relieve pres
sure and relief until natural res
piration has been resumed.
q. When normal breathing begins
again, turn the victim on his face.
rub briskly, always toward the
heart, give stimulantS. and as soon
as possible get him to bed. Cover
with hot blankets and surround
him with hot water bottles. BE
careful not to burn the unconscious
person.
Harsh handling must be avoided.
Rolling over q barrel is too crude
ana a rough thing to do. The gen.
tie method here described Is much
to be preferred.
Bear in mind that the purpose Of
your treatment is to get air into
the lungs. You must be sure the
mouth Is free from mud and weeds,
and that no false teeth are there
to obstruct breathing. The tongue
should be well forward.
The pressure and relief should be
SO timed as to give twelve or four
teen Dreaths per minute. Don't get
excited and overdo your move
ments.
Don't give up. Keep at your
efforts for an hour or more. There
Is no greater satisfaction than to
hear that first voluntary gasp for
air. You will be amazed at your
exultation.
There is no finer exercise than
swimming. For those who indulge.
I doubt II there is a more enjoy
able one. But every swimmer
should be well versed in r~esusciat-
ing one less fortunate than HIM
self.

$250,00O FIRE AT CAMBRIDGE
Phillips Packing Company at Cam
bridge, Md, Destroyed Sunday

Fire Of undetermined origin Sun
Gay destroyed the warehouse and
smaller building Of factory A OF
the Phillips Packing Company, on
Muir avenue, with a loss estimated
at S250,OC0. Tie warehouse was
three-story frame building, rs
by $50 feet, and was filed with
canned goods. The fire was dis
covered at 1.16 p. m, just half an
hour after the watchman had
made his rounds and found every
thing in apparently good condition.
The main building of the plant, op-
posite the burned structure, was
saved by the strenuous work of the
firemen, who also saved a dwelling
nearby occupied by Fred Murphy.
The flames at times threatened to
balk the efforts of the fire fight
ers, but each time they redouoled
their eff'.rts and succeeded in stay
ing the flames. Wien the fire was
first discovered the "a ..bridge
Fire Company was summoned and
they were compelled to work for
more than six hours before the fire
was completely 'axtinguished. De-
spite the dense smoke and the in
tense heat generated, no one was
injured. About 200 employees will
be thrown out of work temporar-
lily but it was announced by offic-
ials of the company that rebuild
ing operations will be started at
once. The blaze was spectacular
and drew thousands of persons to
the scene, many of whom remain
ed during the entire time of fire.

Sunday was a Rally Day" in

with all teachers in attendance
and large number of pupils. The
Rev. E. A. Lemoine gave fine ad-
dress on the text, "As for Me and
My House, we will serve the Lord" I"
Mr.. Lemoine spoke strongly on the
importance of a good influence in
the home and deplored the fact
that the American home had lost
much of that good influence. In the
evening at Asbury M. e. Church
there was an attractive musical
service in which Roland and Dor
othy Hudson, the well-known cor
netist and violinist, took part and
there was special music by the
choir under the direction of the
organist, Mrs. Marion Coverdale.

BRIDGE PLAN IN CONGRESS
Little Likelihood of Action Being
Taken at Present Extra Session

Action by the New Jersey State
Legislature endorsing the applica-
tion of the Delaware and New
Jersey Bridge Corporation and
others for Federal permission to
construct a bridge across the Del
aware River near PENIS Grove,
n. J., and Wilmington, is nov
formally before Congress, though
it was said last week that there is
no likelihood of action at the pres
ent extra session Vice President
Curtis laid before the Senate tie
New Jersey resolution which was
referred to the committee on COM
irerce. The resolution recites that
New Jersey deems the copstruc-
tion of the proposed bridge as
highly desirable and alludes with
apparent regret to the fact that
the State is not in financial po-
sition to cooperate with the State
of Delaware. Construction by
private interests is endorsed and
favorable action by Congress on
the pending bridge is recommend
ed.

SQUIRREL SEASON OPENED
Many SpOrtsmen Took Advantage
of Holiday TO Enjoy Sport

The squirreling season in Della
ware opaned on Monday, Septem-
ber End, and large numbers of
sportsmen Were in the woods to
enjoy the sport on that day. No
large bags of squirrels We're re-
ported on the opening day. Re
ports from different sections of
the State Indicate there are
more squirrels than for several
years. This is said to be due to
the fact that weather conditions
were extremely favorable at the
time when they were young. Dry
weather prevailed and the young
were protected. Rabbits and quail
are plentiful in many localities and
gunners this fall should have plen-
ty to shoot at, provided farmers
will permit them 70 gun on their
lands. Within ehe past few years,
farmers have lost so many chick
ems, ducks, and turkeys from what
are known as pot" hunters that
they are posting their lands warn
ing gunners to keep off.

TUNNEL INSTEAD Of BRIDGE
WILMINGTON To PENHSGROVE
SUGGESTED AS COMPROMISE
WHEN CONGRESS ACTS
Delaware Delegates VIII Renew
Bridge Fight when Congress As
sembles in December Next

The fight to get a bill thru Con-
gress for a bridge across the Del
aware from some where below
Wilmington to Pennsgrove or
Pennsville, promises to loom into a
real fight. When the Delaware
bridge controversy reopens at the
regular December session, says the
Washington correspondent to the
Every Evening: "the Pennsylvania
delegation will be found advocat-
ing a tunnel under the river as an
alternative proposition. Senator
Reed of Pennsylvania, who hence
forth must be regarded as the
leader of the opposition to the
bridge, is understood to have as
senbled data on tunnel construc-
ton which will be available to the
Pennsylvanians in the House who
are objecting to a bridge. At past
hearings on the bridge bills there
were occasional suggestions of
tunnel as a solution of the prob
lem, but no concerted, vigorous eff
fort was made to give the fight the
aspect of a contest between bridge
and tunnel. Delaware and New
Jersey are dead opposed to a tun-
mel. They figure that the cost of
construction and maintenance is
absolutely prohibitive, and main
tain that it is bridge or nothing.
They do not agree with tunnel ad-
vocates that tunnels will replace
bridge construction in and about
the large centers of population
They cite the fact that bridges
still are being built in the vicinity
of New York, the foremost harbor
and the most densely populated
city in the country. It was learn
ed Monday that the Delaware and
New Jersey delegations will renew
the fight in December with every
ounce of vigor. They are not dis
heartened by the failure of the
House at the last session to ap-
prove the bridge bill. It was lost
by the narrowest margin, the vote
being IL to 10 against reporting
the bill. Change of single vote
would have totally altered the
whole situation. Since that vote
there has been a new Congress
which has created several
vacancies on the Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee.

SWIMS DELAWARE BAY
Makes Trip of IL Miles in Two
Hours and Forty Minutes


H. D. Bryan, 35 years old, OF
Wilmington. Monday of last week
it is believed for the first time
swan across the Delaware Bay
from Mad Horse Creek, a point
FIVE miles above Bay View, N. j.,
to Woodland Beach, just east of
Smyrna. Bryan made the trip
which is over II miles, in two
hours and 40 minutes. He was
guided across the bay by Captain
Foster, a native of Woodland
Beach. Harry Blendt, of Wood
land Beach, furnished the boats
and witnessed the swim. Mr..
Blendt said that this is the first
time, as far as he knew, that the
bay has been swum at this point.
Mr.. Bryan is an enthusiastic swim
mer having crossed the Elk Riv-
er, the Bohemia River, and other
nearby waterways at their widest
points. He is an employee of the
William M. Francis Company, and
is working on the new Y. M. G. A.
building as carpenter. Mrs.
Bryan is one of her husband s
greatest supporters on his swim
ming feats and last Monday ac-
companied him in boat, en-
couraging him through the rough
waters.
