"A veteran pool swimmer may get

THE best advice for any beach, ,"

Tips on How Not to Dro,un
Given by Red Cross Expert

Overenthusiasm for rescue work was
criticized by Longfellow. If there's
life guard, let him do IT," he sug-
gested.
The inland swimmer entering the
surf for the first time, he said, should
know that ''it's useless to fight the
water"
Go with the water if it's catching
you. Work to the edge OF the current,
where its force Is less and it is pos
sible to take diagonal course toward
shore. If caught in an undertow, go
with the current and slant to the sur
face on a diagonal.
The surf -bather going inland should
remember that every little pond has
its own dangers. the veteran life saver
warned.
Advice about holes and snags is
important" Longfellow said. THE
water is warmer and not as buoyant
A swimmer must work harder to stay
up. A swimmer must know more sus-
tanning strokes, since he can't doat
around and rest"

TREES VS.. ROADS
ARGUMENT FLARES
Maryland Forester Angered
at Cutting of III to Clear
Highway.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WALDORF, Nd, June 19.-Only five
trees remained today in the row OF 1l6
which had lined the Waldorf Hughes
ville road for nearly 80 years. The
other Ill were cut down several weeks
ago to make way for widening the
highway.
F. w. Besley, State forester, after
inspecting the strip cut through the
woods for a 105-foot right-of for
road work and power lines, asserted
there was no need for the destruction
Of the row Of trees.
He saved the five trees from the ak
by swearing out six warrants against
employees of the State Roads Commis-
sion and Of the construction company
which is doing the road work. He
later withdrew the charges.
Starts Open Controversy.
The cutting Of the trees resulted in
an open controversy between the
Forestry Department and the Roads
Commission over the rights Of each to
decide when it was necessary to re-
move trees and what trees should be
retained along roadsides.
The roads body refused to accept an
agreement proposed by Besley and
adopted resolution this week to in
form the forester of its policy in respect
to clearing right-o
Besley said the row Of trees was
planted along the Waldorf -Hughesville
road about 80 years ago by a property
owner named Brant. He asserted that
If the new road had been moved or
feet to the other side, the trees could
have been saved.
Interested in Safety.
DR.. Homer E. Tabler, chairman of
the Roads Commission, said the body
was primarily interested in the safety
OF the travelling public. He added that
when 1t Is a question of a human Life
Or tree, we will save the human life" ."
Modern traffic requirements de-
mand that roads be built in a way
which should avoid dangerous curves
and other hazards" the commission
resolution read If 1t should happen
that any trees prove hazardous along
such lines, then manifestly such trees
should be removed"
The agreement proposed by Besley
asked the commission to allow a
representative Of his department to
inspect the right-of-ways of new
roads to determine what trees should
be saved. He argued that the State
law gave the department supervision
over the roadside trees.
Besley Sees Barrier.
After the commission had rejected
the proposed agreement, Besley wrote
DR.. Tabler that the action "constitut-
ing a fiat refusal without any reason
or explanation, seems to raise a bar
rier that has not hitherto existed and
says in effect you can go your way
and We will go ours"
He pointed out that previously there
had been cooperation between the
two departments. He made public a
statement showing that the roads
body received 63 permits from the
forester during the year ended June
for cutting 1920 trees and trimming
13 others.
Thomas NJ. Jenifer. special assistant
attorney general attached to the Roads
Commission, had informed its men,
bers that its right to remove trees
along the roadsides probably came
under an exception to State law giving
the Forestry Department supervision
over these trees.

OF INTEREST TO
THE HOUSEWIFE

To clean windows and mirrors
rub them with cold starch, let it
dry and then wipe off with soft
cloth. This will clean as well as
give brilliant polish.
Boiled rice, well seasoned and
served with creamed salmon, or
shrimp makes a good luncheon
dish.
In removing basting threads cut
them every few inches and do not
pull a very long thread out at one
time, as you are very apt to leave
holes in the goods.
Chamois leather gloves should
be mended with fine wool instead
of cotton. This does not tear the
leather so easily.
Sauce will sometimes go lumpy,
however carefully you make it. If
it does, pour it through a strainer
to get out all the Jumps. The
strainer should first be heated
with boiling water so that the
sauce will run through more cas-
lily and also keep hot while it is
being done.
To wash net curtains success
fully, soak in cold water to get rid
of smoke and dust before putting
them into warm soapy water. Do
not rub; squeeze and knead the
net, then rinse well in warm wa
ter, fold and put through the
wringer. Iron lightly the way of
the selvedge and on the wrong
side.
A half tablespoonful or half tea
spoonful of any dry ingredient,
or solid fat, is always measured
as follows: Fill the spoon full. If
it is a dry ingredient, level it off
then measure it lengthwise of the
spoon into halves, scraping off the
unused half. If a solid fat is be-
ing measured, first pack it down
into the spoon, then level it off,
and proceed as directed.
For a fourth teaspoonful or ia
blespoonful, first measure a half,
then divide it into quarters.

wv HERE, oh where is the
w feminine wardrobe tn a t
wouldn't take on momentum
through the addition of just these
three simple, wearable frocks?
Surely like the Model T, it would
be hard to find. And the thrilling
thing - the important feature -
is that these frocks are planned
and patterned exclusively for the
modern woman who sews-for you,
member of The Sewing Circle.
Pattern 1914 is house dress
with a future. 1t is young and
practical. The new notched col
lar, ending as it does in twin
scallops below the yoke line,
gives the waist front balance and
brightness. The bodice is slightly
fulled to make this comfortable
style to work in as well as one
that is attractive to look at. The
skirt is slim lined and simple
as you would have it. Use dimity,
dotted swiss or gingham for this
number. Designed for sizes: "a,
SO, 38, 40, AZ, A, 46 and 48. Size
SO requires 37s yards of 35 inch
material.
Pattern 1889 is the polite young
model caught with its back this
way, perhaps the better to show
off the beautiful shoulders and
chicest- of chic descending lines.
You'll run-up this frock in short
order but you'll wear it endlessly
and with that happy confidence
which only a style with distinc-
ton can give. Make it of rasp-
berry wool crepe and trim the
collar, cuffs and hem with royal
blue. Pattern 1889 comes in sizes
IA, Is, Is and 20 (32 to AZ bust).
Size 16 requires yards of "a inch
material with yards of braid
fol trimming.
Pattern 1906 is most attractive
newcomer to the blouse m skirt
category. An alliance of this sort
brings glamour and romance to
the gay wearer. Gold or silver

mering satin for the blouse with
a skirt of velvet will make a mil

a couple of hours. 1t is available
in sizes IA, 16, Is and 20 (32 to AZ
bust). Size 16 requires 21s yards
of 80 inch material for the blouse
and 21s yards for the skirt. The
blouse with long sleeves requires
23s yards 80 inches wide.
