I'm freezing" Mr. Lusk told the
press through chattering teeth. We're
all freezing up here; there's no heat in
the building"
He added, furthermore, that dark
ness had descended upon the halls of
the wilkins Building, where the Cru
saders maintain headquarters. The hall

what, he was asked, ARE you 60

There is he responded, nothing

the Crusaders few days ago became
tenants OF the United States Govern
ment when Uncle Sam took over both
title and management of the wilkins
Building as part of the site, at Fif-
teenth and H streets. for the projected
new Treasury Department Annex.
And another thing; they have taken
off one of the elevator operators. leav-

A concerted cry of boyish delight, a
dive in mass formation, a big splash
and the annual Learn-to-Swim cam
paign of The Star and the Young
Mems Christian Association was off to
noisy but promising start today
With more than $50 boys enrolled
for the week of free instruction in
swimming, the decision was reached
today to extend the classes into part
Of next week for the benefit of the
overflow of students.
First Glass OFF at AM
A limitation of 45O boys had BEN
placed on the enrolment, but since the
demand for the instruction is so great,
it was felt special effort should be
made to take care of all who applied
before the end of the registration period
yesterday. The Star and the Y. M C. A.
are disinclined to deprive any boy of
the opportunity to learn to swim.
j. c. Ingram, director of the boys
department of the "Y," said the extra
students will be given instruction after
school hours next week.
The first class jumped off at o'clock
this morning in the pool of the "Y''
boys department at 1892 G street A
staff of expert swimming instructors
was in charge. The boys were kept in
the shallow end of the pool, which had
been roped off for the purpose.
Boys Taught Breathing.
The first lesson was in breathing The
boys were told how to breathe while in
swimming without swallowing water.
Later they will be instructed in arm
and leg movements, proper technique
of stroking and other essentials.
Eleven classes will be taught today
and each remaining day of the course,
which ends next Saturday, except for
the supplementary classes next week
1t is expected a large percentage of
the boys will be able to swim at least
so feet by the end of the week.

ANTHRACITE INSTITUTE
APPROVES COAL TARIFF
Says Proposed Excise Tax on I'm
ports Would Add 100000
Working Days a Year.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 28.-Brice P
Dlsque, executive director of the An
thracite Institute, issued a statement
yesterday, saying that congressional
approval of an excise tax on imported
coal would add 100000 working days
a year to employment in the hard coal
fields and at the same time obviate
any possibility of an increase in prices.
Foreign coal entering the United
States" he said, has been averaging
about 10000 tons annually. Trans
lated into domestic production, this
tonnage would mean resumption by
many mines and breakers now idle.
Moreover, the results would be felt by
the railroads, manufacturers of shoes,
clothing, explosives, steel rails and pro-
ducers of lumber"
The statement was issued in connec-
ton with the insertion of a proposed
excise tax of 10 cents a hundred
pounds on imported coal in the House
tax bill.
