THE TRAGIC REASON
FOR SWIMMING KNOWLEDGE

Since the beginning of warm weather
in Imperial Valley, two young men have
died in Out-of-the-Way canals and ponds
because they did not know how to swim.
In neither case was there cramps nor
any other contributing cause which
sometimes causes expert swimmers to
drown The two deaths point a dual
lesson.
First The desirability of learning to
swim.
Second: Do not swim in places not
often frequented.
The safety factor in learning TO
swim is compounded by the enjoyment
and comfort the sport offers to 1mpe-
rial Valley residents in the summer
months
The advisability of swimming only
in the more frequented places is appar-
ent to those who can swim eXpertly,
and should be clear to those without
great knowledge of how to handle them
selves in the water The man who knows
how to swim knows the danger of
cramps or other physical accidents.
Knowing the water and its ways, he
has great respect for it as well as
great liking. The man who knows little
is apt to find himself in error in clrcum-
stances which may prove fatal.
Every person should learn to swim,
but those who do not know how to swim,
especially, should avoid places where
there is no expert swimmer about.

Comes now, the report that German news
papers in their stories and editorial comments
regarding the outstanding record of THE Hin
denhurg' in its trip from Germany TO America
and return made no mention of DR.. Eckener the
man who made the trip possible. DR.. Eckener
has refused to kow-tow to Dictator Hitler, and
Hitler controls the press of Maitland
That's what we in America call rotten
craftsmanship. Wen wager that gentlemen of
the press" in Germany deep down in their
hearts are giving DR.. Eckener all the credit due
him.
And judging by the reception accorded the
distinguished German here, he would be welcome
in this country if he cannot get along across the
Atlantic. We need somebody over here who
knows the ways of dirigibles.

NEW YORK
DAY by DAY
By O. O. Mcintyre

NEW YORK, June %. - Critics
sometimes hail a flop play with
merry essays and audiences often
90 out chuckling. But to me such
failure is heart rending. To see
play, stricken by ineptitude, fail
and fail. and linger on, dying
through a slow last act. There is
a damp chill to the audience.
And the glazed eyes of the actors
are like starving shipwrecked
Wretches on a raft. Almost always
there is one dauntleSs old timer
forcing her points, fighting to the
last with strident voice. hopeless but
shouting on while the others sink
into the death apathy.
Heart-rending such a spectacle
because one knows no matter how
bad, how silly, how incredible the
play and vapid the talk, some au-
thor has spent on it days and nights
of hard thinking, the best he knew
was put into it, and actors have
tried for weeks to animate his poor
thing with palestine gestures and
smiles.
In the background. too, fairly
wringing his hands is some poor
fool of a manager who has been
hypnotized out of thousands of dol
lars. He has been flattered, lied to,
cajoled to ruin. And an audience
of hypocrites rejoice at the calamity
while actors sneak to unpaid for
hotel rooms to forget.

Here are some sample charges: Landons
message to the Cleveland convention called for
state minimum wage laws even if a ConStitu-
tional amendment proved necessary. But in
four years as governor he has failed even to
suggest a minimum wage law for Kansas.
Landon came out at Cleveland for sound
currency and the gold standard. But during the
Farm Holiday hySteria of 1888 he joined with
other western governors in urging payoff of
the Fourth Liberty Loan in greenbacks.
Landon also told the convention he stood
for a drastic federal civil service law But Kan
sas also has civil service law, passed when
Senator Capper was governor, and it is now
defunct because Landon hasn't asked fir ap-
preparations for it or tried to carry it out.
