RENEW AGITATION 1.
 FOR BUS SERVICE
Residents of Overlook Sec- ton Seeking Extension
 of Present Line

Another petition by residents of the Overlook section is being cir culated for enlargement of the c. R. & L. bus lines service to pro- vide a route connecting Exchange place, Overlook and Waterville in one round trip. The company is willing, 1t was learned, to inaugurate the new arrangement but some op- position to the plan is reported and a similar petition to the state pulp lie utilities commission asking ex- tension of lines up Pennington ave- nue and down Melbourne terrace to Waterville was denied by the com- mission and strong protest by resi- dents of the section was registered to the plan.
 Opposition to the present petitions plan is expected to arise from some residents who have expressed them- selves against two bus lines serving the area, with the prospect of busses traversing the streets every few min- utes, especially unpaved streets and in sections where children may be playing. The Cooke street bus line, it is pointed out, extends to Lef- 1lngwell avenue and circle the top of the hill while the other line takes care of the lower and vest ern portion of the section.
 A petition for extension of the Cooke street lines. to connect West Main street and Mill Plain is pend- ing before the utility commission.

Steve Forsyth, famous coach of Ralph Flanagan, today starts ser- ies of IS illustrated swimming les- sons in The Waterbury Democrat.
 Forsyth has been teaching swim ming so long he feels more at home in the water than out of it. Few men know all the angles of the sport as well as he does, whether it's teaching for fun or for spirited competition.
 Forsyth has had hand in the development of the American crawl, the fastest and most efficient stroke.
 Thirteen years ago in Miami, Fla, Forsyth's fancy was caught by a little 7-year-old shaver who enjoyed splashing around in a pool. He took the youngster under his wing.
 Developed National Champion
 The little shaver that was is Ralph Flanagan, 20 now and the greatest swimmer in the world.
 He is perfect example of what careful instruction can do.
 A member of the 1886 Olympic team, and the present national champion, Flanagan holds every American free-style record from 300 yards to 1900 meters.

 She saw those same apartments badly battered, when the late Chan cellor Dollfuss in the early days of 1884 turned the guns of his army upon the defense corps of the So- cialist party. Hundreds of work men were killed. Some were cap tured and hanged. The Red Princess herself was arrested by the police. After a long interrogation, she was released. She remained anti-mon- archist.

Learn How to Swim In IS Lessons
Steve Forsyth To Conduct Series
 For The Democrat
Famous Coach of Ralph Flanagan Greatest Swimmer
 in World and National Champ, Tells How It's Done

Forsyth's knowledge of swimming is the result of many years of study and experimenting.
 His formula is one of logic as well as mechanics.
 "The basic keynote to successful swimming is relaxation" says For syth. "The average swimmer forces himself through the water by brute strength. This is incorrect. Muscles never should be strained and tense while in the water. Swimming should, and can be, as effortless as walking.
 First Lessons Essential
 To accomplish this essential re- taxation, the swimmer must first develop mental and physical poise in the water.
 Animals have no fear of the water. They swim with no difficult ty.
 But mans intelligence makes him realize that water is an un- natural element, and therefore most people are not at ease in the water until they feel confidence in their ability to take care of themselves in it."
 The first six lessons in Forsyth's course contain exercises which tend to build confidence and train the body to assume the most natural swimming position.
 The pupil shouldn't skip through them, he warns. Until they are mas- tered it is a waste of time trying to learn the American crawl, or any stroke.
 Learn to swim as the champions do with Steve Forsyth.

Nazis Blacken Future For "Red Princess"
BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent


 London, May 27-The Nazis are reported to nave arrested the Red Princess another chapter in the tragic story of the House of Hapsburg is being written
 For the Red Princess is Archduch- ess Elizabeth, only child of the one time Grown Prince Rudolf of Aus troHungary and granddaughter of emperor Franz Josef.
 Born an ArchducheSs in her own right, she has been the greatest and most consistent rebel in the Hapsburg family. But there was lit- tie in the history of the house to make her enamored of the royalty into which she was born.
 It was difficult to love her grand father, old Emperor Franz Josef dull, stubborn, proud, cold as ice. Even when his empire was certain ly crumbling to dust as a result of the World War, he went his poised way. He died calmly Nov. 21, 1916.
 Had she been old enough, it would have been possible to love her grand mother, Franz Josef's lovely, bril- liant, flashing wife, Elizabeth of Ba- yaria. But that resplendent creature by the man she mar ried-spent most of her time away from him and died a victim of an assassin in 1898
 Family Life Tragic
 In the young Elizabeth's own home, too, there was unhappiness. Her father, the dashing. handsome Crown Prince Rudolf, was rebel against the stiffness of the Viennese court. He found no happiness in his marriage with Stephanie, daugh- ter of Leopold II, King of the Bel gians. He found solace in the com- pany of the beautiful Marie Vetsera. The lovers were found shot to death in his hunting lodge at Meyerling in 1889. The true story of that double tragedy was and remains an impen- ertable mystery.
 The Archduchess Elizabeth grew up in this atmosphere of gathering gloom. When she became of age she married prince of the distin- guished Austrian house of Windisch-

Whooping Cough Dangers Cited
 By Dr. CarsWell
Epidemics of Disease Now Prevail Out Vest
 ward

As whooping cough takes it's toll of deaths throughout the Territory where epidemics of the disease now prevail to the Westward and h. terior, the Territorial Department of Health today draws attention to dangers of the disease, emphasizing need for caution lest the epidemic reach Juneau.
 pr. John A. Carswell, Territorial epidemiologist, points cut that whooping cough is extremely con- tagious and of greatest danger to children under five years of age.
 Parents should keep children away from anyone contracting whocping cough he states, and should be on guard when such an epidemic occurs in any community.
 The disease is often complicat- ed by broncho-prseumonia which is responsible for over 50 percent of the deaths attributed to whoop- ing cough"
 EmphaSl2lng the danger oI the disease, he states, For children under five years of age, whooping cough is responsible for three times as many deaths as measles, scar let fever, and diphtheria com bined"
 Ultimate suppression. of whoop- ling cough awaits further research. Dr Carswell continued, since the vaccine does not as yet afford ab- sclute protection. Tn the present state of conditions, efforts should be concentrated on good nursing care and isolation of cases. and it should be remembered that seri- ous respiratory complications are apt to develop during and imme- diately after the disease.
