TO AVOID ACCIDENTS
Precautions That Should Be
Taken BY Swimmers

ldhcn by OWImmCAS
Because of the large number
of drownings that have oc-
Cured recently in the State,
Mr.. w. Perry Bradley, Secre-
taryand Executive of the local
organization of Boy Scouts, has
outlined, at the request of DR..
R. H. Riley, Director Of the
State Department Of Health,
precautions which should be
taken by all swimmers and
bathers. Mr.. Bradley's recon-
mendations follow:
"From the standpoint of
health, there is probably no
exercise better calculated to
keep the body in good condi-
ton than swimming. But
certain necessary rules should
be observed: First of all, have
an examination made by an
experienced physician to be
sure you have no heart condi-
ton or organic defect that
would make indulgence in the
sport dangerous. If your ply
stefan says that it is safe for
you go into the water, lose
no time in learning to swim.
"But: Don't swim right after
eating. Wait about two hours.
Don't swim while over
heated. Wait until you have
cooled off.
Don't swim until you are
completely exhausted. Stop be-
fore yoru are all tired out.
Don't dive unless you are
sure the water is deep enough.
Serious injury or death is
likely to result from foolhard-
mess in this respect.
Don't go into the water if
ecu are not we'll. Think of
the other fellow as we'll as
yourself. Colds, pink eye, eye,
ear, nose and throat infections
and other communicable dis
eases are spread through
swimming pools and bathing
beaches.
''Last year there were 152
deaths from drowning in Mary
land. This year in the month
of June alone, "a persons lost
their lives unnecessarily in this
way. Each week end as the
crowds throng to the shores,
we hear of risks foolishly taken
and of lives lost as a con-
sequence.
observance of the precau-
tons mentioned above will
help greatly to reduce the dan
ger of accidents.
''In addition, there ara GER
tain hazards that should be
avoided. Underwater SWIM
ming has proved decidedly
dangerous and is known to
nave Deen the cause or many
deaths. 1t is of little prac-
tical value and should be dis
couraged.
Long distance swimming,
overtaxing ones strength and
endurance is often a direct
cause of trouble. A properly
manned boat should always
accompany the swimmer.
''The danger from diving in
to unknown water cannot be
over emphasized.
"Ring buoys should be con-
spicuously displayed wherever
people assemble for the pur-
pose of bathing and swimming.
Docks, floats, piers and life
boats should all be equipped
with this valuable piece of life
saving apparatus.
Qualified guards should be
in charge of every public
swimming pool. Inexperienced
bathers or swimmer should not
be permitted to enter the pools
when the guards are not on
duty.

BISMARCK BURGLAR
REVEALED BOY OF 10
Breaks Into little and Food
Market, but Betrayed by
Glass Cutting Hand

A Bismarck boy burglar, 10 years of
age, has concluded a brief career Of
two jobs in one week. Ftngerprints
made possible . termination Of his
activities.
When Judge Fred Jansonius gets
back, the lad will relate the story Of
his criminal venture in juvenile court.
He already has confessed his misdeeds
to Chris y. M~artineson, chief of police.
ssssyElac A1y broke !r..u TEtlcts meat
market Friday night q week ago.
There he stole SO In cash from the
till. While the police were ipvesti-
eating this burglary, he. was erhbold-
ened by the success Of his first adj
venture to try another and broke into
the Bismarck Food Market back OF
Enney's drug store. There he got
nothing.
Both entrances were made BY rear
windows. At the Food Market the
boy removed a glass from q window
in a door, but he broke the pane In
doing so and cut a hand. It was the
bloody f~ingerprints on the broken
glass and the small-sized footprints
in the snow that indicated the ado
lescence of the treSpasSer.
The cut hand soon led Chief Mar
tineson to ferret out the boy. When
grilled by the chief. he readily adj
mitted his guilt and described the
operation, which at the Food Market
included the piling up Of boxes to
crawl out on leaving.

When m airplane circled low last

two riots, 60 troopers manned the

and directed fire skyward. The plane
carried no lights. On edge since the

or to signal to some prisoner.
Aroused by the firing. national
guardsmen went through an Inn

Several hours later, Cy Bittner, air
mail pilot. at his home In Buffalo,
said he had flown low over Auburn
prison on his way west. He said he
was flying at an altitude Of about
1000 feet and that curiosity tempted
him to take . closer look ct the prison

He said he was not aware he had
been fired on or that shots had been
