Hundreds are downed every . year
from leek of knowledge of the art of
' swimming. Every person is liable to
be tf. the water some time, and In case
of an accident, it is important to be
able to swim. Man has to learn the
art. - , It is not natural with him as
with the lower animals. All artificial
aids like water wings, corks, and air
belts should be avoided. ,
Keep Mouth Out of Water.
The "first rule is to keep the mouth
above the water and the- legs close to
the surface. Confidence in the float
ing Jjijwer, of the body has to be ac
quired. Iff Order to get this confi
dence, the learner may walk out in the
water waist deep, then stoop down and
try to pick up an egg or some similar
object from the bottom. Repeat sev
eral times and you will' find that the
.riM.f f l not verv enav tn TArnver snil
that very little exertion will keep the ' aga,nst Baker tmw
. body afloat. , 'iT;T ' .
" Floating; nn Easy: Art.
Then walk out in the water to arm
pits, turn towards shore and commence
with the breast stroke,, which 'is the
ground work of tbe art. Any swimmer
can show his stroke. In floating on
the water, you.Ue with your head well
back, the body slightly bent, and arms
and legs extended. In case of
emergency by keeping your presence
of mind, you can float five or ten min
utes or half an hour if necessary until
help arrives, po not hurry or get
excited and you will quickly learn the
art of swimming. : '
La Grande fans Will be Given Best
Accommodation on Trip. ' .
With the very best sort of hours and
prices possible obtaining, there should
be a big crowd joining the baseball
team tomorrow. The train, a epecial,
leaves La Grande about 8:30, and will
leave Baker on the return trip after th
ball game, so that all who go can re
turn before midnight as he regular
service provides for.- This special
train is to be run at a big guarantee
by the ba:ball management, a,nd the
fans are needed. Then La Grande
needs the suport of every fan possible
because It wll lbe a game of games.
La Grande has recovered from Its
disjointed condition of a week ago at
Union and with a slightly new lineup
and the bid mainstays back in the game
things look very bright for a winning
combination tomorrow. ' Childers will
