the Garfield swimming pool, &C
cording 10 Don Bauermeister, head
guard
Charles. at the opening of the
pool thhiS summer. did not know
how to swim. but Bauermeister and
other guards at the swimming spot
took liking to him. after noticing
his fearleSsness Of the water, and
he received a number of lessons
from them.
A high board at Garefiled. stand
ing about fifteen feet above the
water. was about the highest Charles
ever had climbed, but he went up
with Bauermeister after two days
lessons in swimming, and was per-
suaded to dive into the water
The first dives he took he had to
be brought in by one of the guards
who always would enter the water
and bring him back to the bank.
But after a weeks diving he was
able to dive and return.
Despite his quick learning and
present swimming ability, Charles
feels that he still doesn't know all
that he needs TO know about the
swimming profession, and attends the
daily swim classes given by Bauer
meister.

'BY BRUCE CATION

GONE day we may get sense
~ enough to realize that the city
slum is the most expensive of all
the nom essentials our civilization
supports.
If you doubt that statement, you
are invited to read The Autobiog-
raphy of a Liverpool Irish Slum-
my by Pat OMara.
Here, a lad who was born and
grew up in one of the worlds
worst slums. tells what life there
was like; and his story is one of
the most horrifying and enlighten-
ing human documents you will ever
read.
What the extremes of poverty
can do to human beings is set forth
here with pitiless and llnsentimen-
tai clarity.
O'Maras father, for example, got
roaring drunk every Saturday night,
pawning the children's clothes in
order to co so. Coming home, it
was his invariable custom to beat
his wife into Inconsistencies. Yet
all of this, somehow, seems to have
been a symptom Of misery and not
a case.
This sort of thing happened be-
cause, given the conditions under
which the family lived. there was
nothing else that could happen.
Economics forced human beings to
become brutes; the exact form that
the brutality took was relatively
unimportant.
Liverpool supported a slum-as do
New York. Chicago, Cleveland, Buff
falo and every other large city-and
cultivated there a large crop of
people who could not possibly be
good citizens: people who an
nually made the streets horrible
with crime, sickness, vice and des-
titution.
Young OMara was an exception.
He escaped, came TO America, and
AS this book proves-developed
genuine talent as a writer.
Published by the Vanguard Press.
his book is priced at $3.50.

NOT ENOUGH BEER
 ANYWHERE JUNEAU I BUSINESS MAN SAYS

It will be six months before brewers will catch up with the de- mand for beer in the States, ac- cording to J. w. Gucker, well known Juneau wholesale broker who re- turned from Seattle on the Alaska yesterday.
 In spite of the fact that Den mark, Germany and the Philippines are shipping beer to this country the supply is way behind the de- mand. Brewers. incluing the An heuser- Busch Company of St. Louis, have refused to take more orders until they catch up, according 10 Mr. Gucker. 61 At .t.
 Beer has helped business in Seattle in big way" MT. Gucker said. Restaurants, hotels, cigar stores with lunch counters and other places where beer can be sold, have increased their business about 40 per cent. The only blow is that coffee sales have decreased as beer sales go up"
 At least two new breweries are planed in Seattle immediately. Hor- luck, ice cream manufacturer, is building a brewery and a new plant is being constructed by the Hem rich company, according to MT Gucker.
