Children should not be encouraged to begin before the age of five, since before that age Lhe mind is not sufficiently schooled to follow directions with accuracy. Other things being equal I regard the age of five or six Children should always be allowed to start with the old familiar "dog paddle". This stroke comes quite naturally to the child and gives a feeling of confidence in remaining in the water with the feet off the ground, As soon as the child is at home under these con- ditions the various strokes may be taught exactly as described for With adults the use of the 'dog paddle" when learning fis actuaiiy harmful to their future correct stroking, as it is apt to get them into slovenly habits of propulsipn, learn. Children being more adaptablé"are not handicapped by the chaiige over. The adult should start with the side stroke and pro- gress through this stroke to the single overarm, the trudgton, the crawl; hence to back stroke and breast stroke. As the older school of instrpetors regarded the breast stroke as the foundation stroke f all swimming this procedure may seem revolutionary.

Anyway, that is the way Flip felt 'when he had regained his self-respect which he had lost in Lis fear of Speedfoot the (loyote and his inability not to show that fear whenever Speedfoot came around. And Flip did regain his self respect and with it the re- spect of his friends, the three dogs at the ranch where he was staying, It came about in this way: All the people at the ranch but the cook had gone off for the day. It was a warm day and in the afternoon the four dogs had gone to the corral for a nap in a shady corner. Somehow Flip wasn't sleepy, and after a while he got up and went to the gate. He stood there looking out, try- ing to make up his mind wheth- er to stay there or go up to the farmhouse and visit the cook. He had about decided to do the lat- ter for he was a favorite with the cook and received many a tidbit from him, when he heard a nofse among the hens out back of the stables, just such a moise as he had heard hens at home make when frightened. "I wonder what is the matter with them," thought Flip. "I'll 80 see." ' He trotted swiftly along close to the nearest building and poked hie head around the corner, just in time to see Speedfoot the Coy- ote spring on a plump hen, Speed- foot must have seen the people leave the ranch that morning and known that there was little to fear from a terrible gun. Then he had waited until the dogs were nowhere to be seen and stolen up on those hens, It was a bold thing to do, but a Coyote can be when he knows the chances are in his favor. OMPSQ 1? DRUG STORE PHONE 22 WE DELIVERS 10 Simcoe St, 8. We Deliver Ee he By Thornton Ww. Burgess Flip didnt stop to think that this was Speedfoot the Coyote. It was a thief stealing that which he, Flip, should protect. With- out a sound he rushed at the thief. It was all so sudden that Speedfoot barely had time to drop {é hen when Flip was on him. The mext instant they were roll- 10g over and over, snarling, yel- ping snapping, each trying to get at the throat of the other. Gone from Tlip was all fear. The fury of fighting ancestors filled him, He didn't even feel the slashing teeth of the Coyote. Ovar and over they rolled, each trying fer that grip on the throat, Now, Speedfoot was no coward. Forced to fight he was ready and willing for the battle. Being a Weclf, he had sharp teeth and strong jaws and a wicked way of slashing with them. The ghort hair of Flip's coat offered little protection from those teeth, ani Flip: was soon bleeding from many wounds. The little dog had met more than his match, but if ke knew it he didn't admit it, even to himself. There is no doubt that in the end Speedfoot would have killed him had not the three other dogs with yelps cf excitement come tearing around the corner of the stable to see what was going on, For an Instant they stopped to watch. They saw that Flip was not trying to get away, but was fighting withthe courage of a fighting heart. They saw too, that despite his courage, he was losing the fight. Then they rush- ed to his aid. But Speedfoot did not wait for them, Left alone with Flip, he would have fought to a finish, but four to one meant too great odds. Before they could reach him he tore himself Joose and sped away. They chased him a short distance, but knowing the Lopelessness of such a chase, soon returned to gather about Flip, who was lying down, licking his wounds, You should have seen the friendly way in which those three tails wagged and you should have heard the nice things they sald to him, Flip was a sorry sight. He was torn and bleeding in many places and when he walked he limped. But he held his head high. Yes, sity he held bis head high... He had re 'his & respect. Best of Poslie an oy. rever again would that Coyote chase him ignominiously to the protection 'of his friends. He was no longer afraid. So Flip held his head high. . (Copyright, 1931, by T. W.

(By The Canadian Press) Edmonton, Alta., July 31 -- Commenting on the death of Mrs Louise McKinney, first woman to he elected to a legislative body in the Empire, The Edmonton JOURNAL said editorially: "It was a great distinction that came to Mrs McKinney, the announcement of whose death caused widespread regret. She was not only the first woman to occupy a seat in the Alberta house but the first in any British legislative body. For public af- fairs she had great aptitude and the impression that she made on the life of this province was a strong one, Both before and af- ter her election as memper for Claresholm, to which constitu- oncy she came with her husband nearly 30 years ago, her activi- ties were 'many' and varied. There has been no more earnest and able advocate of the cause of a. in Canada. She re- 1 became acting president of | the dominion O.0.T.U. and was vice-president of the world organ- ization. "The steps that were recently taken tp, have Mrs. McKinney's portrait painted and placed in the legislative buildings met with a large response. While it is most unfortunate that the work wee not undertaken soon enough to allow it to be completed be- fore her death, there should be no doubt ahout the portraits be- ing included among those that re. call the outstanding figures in the proyince's political history." WATER LEVEL HAS STRANGE FEATURE Harbor Engineer Says No Reason For Alarm This Season Montreal, Aug. 1.--While the drop in the level of water in the certral harbor is to some extent serious, there is mo occasion for alarm, Paul Leclaire, harbor en- gineer, stated in an interview. The unusual feature of the pres. ent situation, he pointed out, is that the depth has fallen so early in the year. On a number of o¢- casions in the past it has been lower later in the navigation sea- son, 'The harbor guage shows a reading of 29 feet 2inches for this morning which means that there has been a drop of an inch each of the last four days. Dut this is not the lowest figure re- corded this month for on July 6 statistics show that the level stood at exactly 29 feet while on the other hand during part of the present month it has risen to 29 feet 7 inches. Having regard to the law of averages insofar as they concern rainfall, Mr. Leclaire expressed the opinion that the water is not likely to go much lower in view of the likelihood of rain to make up for the slight precipitation for the first half of the year. 1915 Comparison Statistics show that conditions in the year 1915 approximated most closely to those which ob- Keep Cool and Smile Over the Holiday How much better our dis- position is when we are cool-----how much more often we smile!

Phone 68 tain today, for in July of that year while the reading started with 30 feet 4 inches there was a fall to today's level! of 29 feet 2 inches and then it went below 29 feet and by August had drop- ped to 28 feet 10 inches. It came up from that point and the average for August was 30 feet, while there were fluctuations during the remainder of the year. In August 1926, it fell to 28 feet 5 inches, A noteworthy point about the situation as it exists this year is that never before has the water been lower in the month of June. Taking the figures for autumn in rast years, however, it is not qifficult to find several instances when the height has been very much below the level of 1931. For example, in October, 1923, the level was only 27 feet 11 inches. A mild winter with light snow falls is no doubt partly respon- sible for the present position. Mr. Leclaire observed, and what is reeded now, is considerable pre- cipitation in the West after which Montreal Harbor would immedi. ately feel the benefit, It should be borne in mind, Mr. Leclaire said, that while to- day the water level in the cen- tra) harbor is 29 feet 2 inches, it is a foot deeper in the ship chan- nel and in any case no harm has heen occasioned so far by the lieight in the harbor because in 2 poor trading year, vessels are net coming or going with very heavy cargoes, RUSSIANS STUDY, SAYS PROFESSOR Big Percentage of Univer- sity Students of Peasant Origin « pr Montreal, Aug. 1. + "If I wanted to describe our educa- tional situation in a single een- tence, I ghould say tliat every- bedy in Soviet Russia is learning, learning, learning," said Profes- sor I. BE, Tamm of Moscow Uni- versity recently in his address to the Society for Cultural Rela- tions with Russia on "Higher Ed. ucation in Soviet Russia." Speaking of the bad ' inheri- tance of illiterates from the old Russia---64% per cent of the pop- ulation in 1817--he gave some statistics of the means now being employed to cope with this situ tion, and went on to say that the serious lack in Soviet Russia is of skilled labour, in every sense from agricultural workers np to university professor, so that all efucational reform is being sha- ped toward meeting this shortage. High school students, who are ot university standing as in Ger- many, go up from the secondary schools or the workers class star- ted ten years ago to give a four years course to workpeople and peasants and so qualify them for a university career afterwards. About 84 per cent of the students io the universities were found fo bo of peasant and working-class origin three years ago. Professcr Tamm drew a com- parison between university edu- cation in the old Russia and the new. Formerly the enrriculum was entirely theoretic, and an engineering student Lad to get Is professional training yhen he left college. Today in addition he had to give considerable time to experimental and practical work, not only in college but also out- side in workshops and publid boratories; he was kept in to with practical life all the tin PRAISES CLASSICS Lohdon--The Lord Mayor London, Sir Phene Neal, praisé the classics in an address to ti boys of Christ Hospital Schoo Horsham, recently.
