FLOATING TANK WOULD SAVE BOYS GEORGE ZINSERLING SUGGEST8 THAT CITY PROVIDE ' . ' NATATORIUM. PLAIi WOULD ELIMINATE ALL DANGER Builder Had Experience at Old Home In German and Would Aid In Construction of Big Tank. George Zinserllng, tbe builder, on Thursday started a movement for the erection of a nataiorlum In the river where Ralph Burd, twelve years old, waa drowned Wednesday. Mr. Zlnser ling ha hud much experience with bathing arrangementa. and declarea that the beach In West Oregon City would make a splendid place for the natatorium. Ilia plan la for the city to build and own the floating tank. Mr. Zlnserllng la a native of Kriurt, Germany, where members of his fam ily have been In charge of a municipal bathing bench since 1851. His father managed the place until hla death in 18S1. and- then hla brother became manager. The same system la used aa that by the Russian army In Its bathing regulations. Children Could be Watched. "The nurd accident never could have happened If there had been a natator ium In the river," said Mr. Zlnserllng. "Tbe. boy's death was due to the un evlness of the river bottom. In case the city took charge .these places would be filled, and competent men would be In charge to watch the chil dren... Bathing would be restricted to certain hours without the slightest fear on the part of tbe bathers of dan ger. I have spoken to several prom inent citizens about the plan, and all of them are In favor of the city con structing a flouting tank and have competent men In charge." Because of hi experience In Ger many, and his knowledge of building Mr. Zlnserllng feels that he could be of assistance In the conatructlon of the tank and supervising Its regula tion. Offer HI Service. He say that he would be willing to take charge in case his services are desired, and promises that much pleas ure could be had from the sport with out the slightest danger. Mr. Zlnserllng la an expert swimmer and diver. He. says that In all the time his relatives have had charge of the tank at Erfurt there ha not been an accident.

Postmaster Randall, In a few days will make another appeal to the residents of the city to supply boxes at their homes for letters and mall packages. The postmen left cards at the various homes sometime ago which contained a request that the boxes be provided. "The lack of the receptlcles Is one of tbe most serious things we have to contend with," said the postmaster. "If the people only realized what It meant to us I am sure they would provide the boxes. It would be much better for them, too, for we could make quicker and more frequent de liveries. Carrier, Have to Wait ' "The whole city la not covered twice dally by postmen now simply for the reason that the carriers hare to watt no long at the front doors of some of the homea before they can deliver the letters. It Is Impossible under present conditions for tbe three carriers to make two deliveries in 'he entlie city daily." Another inconvenience the postmas ter called attention to Is the failure of many persona to place numbers on their residences. . There Is a city or dinance which provides that this shall be done, hut It is nor strictly enforced. Mr. Randall said that he was confi dent It would be only a matter of time before the department at Washington gave notice that mall would not be delivered at homes where mall boxes are not supplied and th houses not numbered In the cities. Carriers' Quiz Tomorrow. Mr. Randall will hold an examina tion for rural mall carriers at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. It Is thought that all the substitutes will take the examination, which will be necessary to put them In line for trav csncles. Thoae taking the examination will be given the preference. The salaries of the rural carrlera. under a bill which becomes effective on August 1. will be $1,000.

JUDGE CAMPBELL TO HER RESCd Husband Fights for Musical Instru ment, But Court Gives It to Un fortunate Woman Playing ' Hr Only Comfort. A divorce ult that probably has caused more comment than any filed ' In Clackamas county for years, waa compromised late Thursday afternoon In Judge Campbell court when Arthur Schneider, a prominent farmer, agreed to give Anna U Schneider $t,60o and support their two children consid eration of his being awarded the de cree. Each parent Is to alternate In having the custody of the two chll- lyn, three years old, for periods of three months. A pathetic feature of the compro mise came when Schneider Insisted upon being allowed to keep the piano which he had purchased for hi wlf) aoon after their marriage. She loat her sight about a year ago, and sine then her only pleasure haa bevn In the company of her children and playing npon the piano. JuOge Gives Her Piano. Judge Campbell, before whom th evidence had been submitted, had taken no part In the negotiations for the compromise, leaving them to the lawyers and principals, but Schnei der's Insistency upon having tbe piano was more than he could stand. "Mrs. Schneider must have tbe pia no," said the court. "Being blind she needs It more than ever. It Is one of the few comforts left ber." Schneider relented and the case was closed. The suit waa brought some time ago by the husband. He charged his wife with having gone "to a dance with neighbors without his knowledge, and said she left him several times. Upon cross-examination he admitted that his principal grievance was that she associated with neighbor whom he did not like. He admitted that she did the cooking for the family At or six months after her eyes became affected. Women Crowd Courtroom. Mrs. Schneider contended that her bushand'dld not provide for ber prop erly' and was unpleasant to her. She said he objected to her visiting cer tain neighbors.
