it feet first to ascertain its depth
and whether it is free from wreck
age. For diving, water should be at
least six feet deep.
Do not enter the water until two
hours after eating-and thus avoid
stomach cramps.
When you try to beat your last
summers long distance record, be
professional. Have a boat accompa-
ny you. This is the practice OF ex-
perts.
Train for long swim. Don't eX-
pect to swim a mile at the beginning
of the season. Test your powers
carefully, adding little distance
each day and when you begin to feel
tired always come out Of the water.
If you are caught in an undertow
do not lose your head, even If you
do lose your balance. The force OF
the water will bring you safely to
the surface if you do not struggle
against it.
When your canoe tips over, hang
on to it until someone comes to help
you, or you can paddle with it to
shore. Remember that canoe never
sinks. 1t is the amateur canoeist
who leaves the overturned craft and
strikes out for shore. The good ca
noeist hangs on because he knows
that it will keep him afloat or that
he can swim with it to a safe land

Here is the expert method OF res
cuing the drowning: Row a boat,
throw a buoy, or go yourself and

EOUR members of the Du Point
L family, Pierre, Irenee, Felix and
Lammot, appeared before the senate
munitions inquiry committee and told
OF the huge business the Du Pont
corporation has done in supplying war
material. Between 1914 and 1918 the
company, which was founded In 1902
to manufacture black powder, filed
$1,245, 100000 worth of war orders. In
that time it did about 35 times the
business it had in the year just be-
fore the World war, when its sales
amounted to $36,OOO,OOO.
Irenee du Point testified that the
corporation subscribed to preferred
stock in the German dye patents seized
during the war by the United States.
He said these patents had resulted in
a great service" to America. The
corporation entered the dye business
after the war as licensee Of the
Chemical foundation, Du Point said.
There did not seem to be anything
very sensational or scandalous in the
facts ELECTED from the Du Points, but
previous witnesses had told lot about
the deals of airplane companies and
other corporations with foreign ma
lions in which it was alleged they had
been aided by United States diplo-
mats and army and navy officers. There
was lot, too, about graft on the
part of South American government
officials. One of the stories told
brought in the name of King George
Of England, and this resulted In of
fetal protests by British diplomats
both in washington and in London.
Just what Senator Nye and his COM
mittee expect to do with the informa-
ton they are gathering is not certain.
There are suggestions Of government
ownership or at least government con-
troll of all war munition manufactur-
ing and selling. Plenty of evidence was
brought out to prove that the makers
of these wares sell to both sides in
warfare.

The ships master, Capt. Robert Will
mott, had died Of heart disease only
few hours before the tragedy, and
william F. Warns, chief officer, was
IN command. With II other officers
and members of the crew he stood by
the blazing ship until the hulk was
toyed to Asbury Park and beached.
Several of the surviving passengers
testified before the federal steamboat
inspection board that no alarm was
sounded and little or no aid was given
nanic-stricken passengers by the mem
hers Of the crew. Then George w. Rog-
ers chief radio operator, and his first
assistant, George I. Alagna, told of
the delay in sending out the sos call,
asserting they could not obtain an or
der for it from the bridge. This, of
course was explained by the usual re-
luctance Of steamship officers to call
for help because the salvage charges
are heavy. Alagna was put under ar
rest as material witness after he had
told his story to a federal grand jury.
The value of his testimony was some
what lessened by Rogers admission to
both the board and the grand jury that
Alagna had been distrusted by Captain
Wilmott as radical and an agitator,
and that Alagna some months ago tried
to instigate a riot on the ship as a pro-
test against the food served the crew.
The first actual evidence indicating
that the fire was Of incendiary origin
was furnished by Quartermaster Gus
Harmon. "& ~

been gasoline because it travelled much
faster. It might have been some sort
Of chemical, all of which would light

Of the fash"
Other officers of the ship testified
that they believed the fire was OF
incendiary origin and was fed by
gasoline or chemicals, but they could
suggest no motive for such a horrible
crime. Actlng captain warns Salu Ne
based his opinion that the blaze was
incendiary on two facts: First, be-
cause on August 81, on previous voy-
age to Havana, there was suspicious
blaze In the No. 8 hold; second, be-
cause reports to him indicated that
the writing room locker, in which the
fatal fire started, exploded. The flames,
he explained further, acted like gaso-
line or kerosene" and fire extinguish-
ers had no effect on them.
The chief Of the secret police in

by members of a secret international
maritime association that takes Its
