Learning to Float
BY Carroll l.. Bryant, Director
Water Safety Service
-.. American Red Cross
Learning To Float

ANoA AAAAS Az VAOds
Continued from last week.
Before learning to swim, learn
to float. It's Just as important as
swimming, and, if properly done, it
has the advantage of requiring no
effort. There is more than one way
Of floating, of course, but the most
common way is on the back.
First of all, the learner should
&c. lid of the notion that floating
is matter of maintaining his body
in horizontal position parallel to
the. surface. In pedsons Of average
bouyancy, the body, from chest to
knee, will be suspended at an an
gle of about IS degrees, and the
legs before the relaxed knees will
hang nearly perpendicular. The
floaing posture can be assumed
by placing the hands on the bottom
of the pool, behind one, until by
leaning backward the back of the
head Ito about the level of the
earsl is submerged.
If the head is allowed to rest in
the water with only the face above
the surface, and if the arms are ex-
tended gradually to the side and
then somewhat beyond the head,
the chest and torso will be bouyed
up, the back will be naturally and
comfortably arched, and the legs
if relaxed and allowed to flex at
the knee will take care of them
selves. 6e
Once the technique Of floating has
, been matered, other learning activ-
tiles will follow logically. These in
clude practice in breath-holding,
with the face buried in the water;
Rhythmic breathing, which is even
ly repeated process Of inhaling
through the mouth above the sur
face and exhaling through the nose
in the water; and practice in keep
ing the eyes open under water
This, the learenr will soon discov-
err, is not unpleasant, and is essen
tial for both convenience and safe
Ity.
When the beginner has satisfied
himself by experiment that the
body's natural bouyancy will serve
to keep him at the surface, he will
not. later, divide his stroking
movements and waste energy.

Science has moved a step forward
Three technicians have reported

the article said, lis that the noise

Moreover, it added, when three
mosquitoes were placed in a test
tube and the recording of female
mosquito in mating mood was
piped in, the antennae of the male
mosquitoes all termed in the direc-

Gas Rationinq
To Be Eased
When Nazis Quit

LOS ANGELES, March 81. tUP)
The fall of Germany will mean a
large increase, possibly so per cent,
in civilian gasoline rations in the
United States, Ralph K. Davies,
deputy petroleum administrator for
war; predicted here.
Davies said that any increases
will be nationwide, not confined to
the east coast. He explained that 1T
will be our policy to spread the bur-
den for fueling the Pacific war over
the whole country"
The oil industry's main problem
now, Davies added, is manpower He
said that unless draft exemptions
for men 1929 in the industry are
doubled "our military oil production
may be seriously hampered and
civilian drivers further pinched."
