conclusvely to such an indication. Too many n~on-swimmers
or beginners venture into water that is too deep. a good
rule worthy Of consideration being that non-swimmers and
beginners should never wade in water deeper than the
middle of the chest, unless the condition Of the bottom is
known well.
MANY drowninss each year are due to ignorance Of
the elementary principles of swimming and of proper
methods Of resauscitation. One authority on deaths
by drowning has said that an inventory. OF persons taking
excursions on steamers. those who hi. wilderness waterways
in canoes. or who go rowing on lakes out from summer
resorts. reveals the surprising fact that not more than one
in 50 could take care Of himself if the boat capsized. Ihi.
same authority believes that at least Is per cent OF all
young men and boys more than u years OF age do not
know how to swim.
Loss Of wind accounts for the drowning of many per-
sons, even Of good swimmers. A warning is to Be sounded
against swimming in deep water If the person has not passed
a test of endurance, which IN some countries requires 80
minutes of continuous swimming. Many persons. because
of their evident pleasure in getting away from q chys heat
to the comparative GOODNESS Of the shore and lake, remain

Persons suffering from cramps in the water become
seized with an almost insane fear. and start thrashing the

the Navy Department, the following picture
may be drawn with some hope that 1t would be
an accurate one:
Out into the Atlantic, sailing in neat forma-
ton, a feet of war vessels is proceeding in
quest of the enemy.
In the great dock at Lakehurst the Nays
new airship the Akron, looming mass OF
65OO0OO cubic feet overhead, Is being made
ready to accompany the feet and act as scout
against the enemy approaching the coast.
The veteran crew of IL officers and As men
has been strengthened by others to man the
16 5O-caliber rapid-fire guns, to prepare and
fly the five pursuit or observation planes in its
hull, to attack with bombs and fulfill other
duties that might become necessary In the
naval campaign to come.
Sixty tons of fuel, calculated for flight OF
nearly II 900 miles, have been taken aboard.
Water ballast has been added, engine oil, kero-
sene for cleaning, drinking water and food
stores brought up.
PREPARATORY to leaving, the captain has
received weather and temperature reports
covering flying conditions over the ocean. On
the basis of this information, and his knowledge
that he might have to climb to extreme alti-
tudes he calculates the maximum amount OF
helium he can carry as lifting gas for the safe
flight and maneuvering of the Akron. The gas
Is purged of impurities through special puri-
fcation plant, and the cells are inIateo 10 the
required fullness.
On either side of the huge airship the sand
bags have been replaced by train Of trolleys
which, firmly secured to the ship by means Of
zig tagging cables, act as anchorages and kesp
the Akron steady against any possible cross
drafts when it is moved out of the dock.
Secured to the nose, a movable stub mast Is
ready to draw the ship out into the open ar.
Moving an airship like the Akron out Of its
hangar is a slow and ticklish process, similar
in many ways to moving a large ocean-going
surface ship out Of drydock. Everything
aboard must be in ship-shape, the great mass
of gas, metal and fabric must be "statically
balanced" and put in TRIM before it can be
moved an inch.
Sometimes the captain waits for an hour or
more until lull comes along and the huge
mass can be taken out without fear Of being
slapped dangerously against the side Of the
dock by o sudden gust. 1t Is when the ship Is
halfway out Of the dock that the most critical
