Swimming is wholesome and
popular sport" DR.. Ballou said today,
in approving the swim drive. 1T is
splendid exercise and healthful
means of real fun for the sgrowing
youth when forethought and caution
are brought into play to avoid dangers
into which a needless child sometimes
takes himself.
Il am, therefore, glad to encourage
the program by which boys of school

it will prepare scores of youths to take
care Of themselves while enjoying
various sports on water"

boy must be a bona fde non.swimmer

modern methods of mass instruction.
These methods, Endorsed by Commo-
dore W. E. Longfellow, life saving di-

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, october Ia
"Paurs liable to have a bridal suite
and no BRIDE" Miss Betty Holt said
here yesterday when informed that
Paul (Daffy) Dean, star hurler OF
the st. Louis Cardinals, had tenta-
lively reserved Cleveland hotel suite
for the latter part of next week.
About two weeks ago Dean an
nounced his desire to wed Miss Holt.
She promptly demurred. Told that
the prospective groom had reserved
the bridal suite, she said: Il don't
know anything about 1t"
Miss Holt returned yesterday from.
st. Louis, after watching Paul defeat
the Tigers in two world series con-
tests. She returned to Columbus
when Paul and Dizzy" his older
brother, boarded plane for Okla
homa, where they appeared in an
exhibition base ball game.
But she said today that the re-
ported romance had progressed not
a bit.
Our engagement hasn't been an
nounced and when I get ready to
announce it I'll call you," Miss Holt
said.
She made 1t plain. however, that
it is up to her, not to Paul, whether
they are married.
When asked, on the record, now,
are you going to marry Paul?" she
answered, "I haven't made up my
mind"
why write story about 1t any,
way?" she queried. why not Just
skip it?"

Ciydebanlk, Scotland. = Final preparations have been completed for the launching of Great Brit aims mammoth ship, No. 534, al Clydebank, (scotland, on Septein- bsr 2eth. She will slide down the ways at 2:50 D. m. (Greenwich tfnae) or 9:50 8. m. Eastern Day. light Saving time in New York.
 National interest in the launch- ing of the giant Cunard White Star liner has been keyed up to a fever pitch, particularly since the secret of its name has been carefully guarded and still remains a mys- tery. Rumors to the contrary, the world will not know the name oi the new ship until 1t is pronounced by Queen Mary and radiOed to all parts of the globe.
 Their Majesties King George and Queen Mary are expected to ar- rive by motor at Ciydebank short ly before the ceremony, accom- panied by the lord provost of Glas- gov and other officials.
 Prior to the launching ceres mony, their majesties will be greeted by officials from the John Brown Shipyard and Cunard White Star Line, and presented with an illuminated scroll by Sir Percy Bates, chairman of Cunard White Star Limited. This event will take place in one of the buildings Oi the shipyard, which has been com pletely remodelled and trans formed into sumptuous dining room for their majesties and will accommodate 1000 special guests seated at long tables.
 After this ceremony, known as the loyal address of welcome, the king and queen will be escorted about 150 yards along special ramp to the launching platform or dais which is about So feet above the ground for the actual launching ceremony.
 Every country in the world has been linked up with the British Broadcasting System which will broadcast the launching ceremony of the giant vessel at the John Brown, Shipyard. The event will take place from 2:50 to 3:30 p. m in Clydebank, that is 9:50 to 10:30 a, m. EDST in the United States American listeners will be able tc hear a vivid description of the event through the facilities of the National Broadcasting company and Columbia networks.

 As soon as the great ship is launched, it's stern fwlI head part
 way up the River Cart, tributary of the Clyde, whose banks have
 been widened but will still be only twenty feet from either side of .he mammoth vessel. A score of tugs
 will then tow her out of the River
 Cart into the Clyde and to the
 John Brown s'fitting out" basin, where on account of her huge
 length she will protrude 100 feet
 into the river.
 As it has been estimated that
 the launching of No. 5S4 will pro-
 duce q wave of about 3 feet, the
 roadway for one-fOurth mile along the banks of the Clyde and the Cart will be closed to the public. Two grandstands which will seat over 16,000 persons have been CT6CLeQ On LuS OPPO5ltS UdHh OI LIlG Clyde by enterprising promoters and tickets are being sold into the thousands. The Anchor liner Tus- cania will be specially berthed at the adjacent Rothesay dock and used as a floating grandstand to accommodate 1000 invited guests of the Anchor Line. Two steam CTS have been chartered to carry
 some of the guests of the Cunard White Star Line and John Brown Shipyards. The two Clyde steam CTS, the Queen Mary, which accom-.
 modates 400 guests and the King George which will accommodate 700, twill sail from Glasgow down
 the Clyde to the shipyards.
 Over 100000 visitors are expect ed to witness the ceremony. Bus,
 steamship and railway concerns
 have arranged special conveyances to Clydebank. Every available agency-newspape motion pie lures, radio-will cover the event.
 and photographs of the ceremony
 will be rushed to London by plane.
 As the launching date coincides with the weekly half-holiday for
 shopkeepers in. hundreds of Scot. tish towns and villages, Clydebank
 and Renfrewshire are likely to ex- perience the greatest invasion of
 visitors in their history.
