HUMOR | PLAY | WORK THE SWIMMING CLASS -- LESSON IV For ali-around swimming, the trud- geon, or double overarm stroke, is probably the best stroke there is It bas the advantage of speed, and yet is practically untiring, which makes it advantageous for either sprint or dis- tance swimming. Of course, it is not a8 fast a stroke as the crawl, but on the other hand, it is not so difficult to learn. Therefore, it is a good idea for the beginner to learn it, and take the crawl later, as we will do. If you practiced the suggestions in the preceding lessons, you will have an easy time In learning to swim the trudgeon Remember you were told to lie flat, face under the water, and kick your legs. That is thé principle of the stroke--as far as the fOotwork is concerned. Continue to practice it until you have thoroughly mastered it. Now begin on the arm movement-- the same movement that you practiced on dry land. Don't try to go too fast; time yourself so that you make about one stroke a second, And be sure that your body is per- fectly straight out in the water. Do not bend at the waist-----you will sink if you do. Of course you will not be able to go very far, because, if you are following - directions, your face will be under the water. Therefore you can go on only as long as you can hold your breath But if you can go {hat far--swimming all the time--you will be getting along fine! It is best not to try to breathe until you can get the stroke down to perfec- Many embryo swimmers have the fault of straining their bodies, when they should relax. The beauty of good swimming is its grace and ease; therefore you should practice, with your face still! under water, until you can do it easily. Now try breathing. When your right arm is coming down in the water, and your left over your head in the air, turn your head slightly to the left, so that the mouth is out of water. Take in a breath, then as you are complet- ing the stroke, exhale through the nose In the water. When the left arm comes forward again, repeat. Per- haps you will find It easier to reverse this--that is, breathe on the right side --if so, you can do it. Most good swimmers breathe on the left aide, however. All that remains now is practice Remember that your body should not roll as it goes through the water, nor should the neck be strained back. In tion. ey pl swimming, the head should be in a po- sition so that the water comes just about to the nose. It is best now to ask some good swimmer to correct the faults you are certain to have. That is sure to get you into form more quickly. * The fifth article in the series of swimming lessons will take up the crawl. This is the stroke which is used by most speed swimmers.

Price $1.00. We are under a debt of gratitude to one possessing the diplomatic ex- perience of Lord Bryce for this treatise on Canadian Government and the characteristics of the people. In one of the chapters dn interesting comparison is made between govern- ment in the United States and Can- ada. The writer is very appreciative of the dominion, but at the same time does not hesitate to point out our na- tional faults and rebuke unscrupul- ous politicians. His criticism, how- ever, is always characterized by sym- vathy and is constructive in its out- look. Lord Bryce pays a fine trib- ute to the strict application of crim- inal justice and the habit of obed- fence to the law as manifested in Canada, The closing lines of this able pro- duction are well worth quoting: -- "This much may be said: Canada is well prepared by the character of her people, by their intelligence and their law-abiding habits, to face whatever problems the future may bring, finding remedies for such de- fects as have disclosed themselves in her government, and making her ma- terial prosperity the basis of a pa- cific and enlightened civilization. British Novelists: Second Flight. "A haughty and proud generation, vigorous and free in their passions and adventures," Ford Madox Huef- fer, quoting Pushkin, calls the lead- ing group of young British novelists of today--writers such 'as Frank Swinnerton, D, H. Lawrence, Katho- rine Manefield, Wyndham Lewis, Cle- mence Dane, Dorothy Richardson and James Joyce. The gractice of the short story as an art, 'which once en- raged such men of genius as Kipling and Wells, Mr. Hueffer now finds in abeyance except for the work of Miss, Mansfield, whose collections "Bliss" ond "The Garden Party" have lately been published in this country. Al- though he traces Mr. Swinnerton's literary descent from Gissing ard Miss Dane's from Henry James, he re- gards them as assaulting the *'Mod- ern Position" from a common angle. Of Wyndham Lewis he writes: "In the discussions, Mr. Lewis shows him- self an extraordinarily great artist, not, heaven knows, in what his char- acters say, but in the rendering of their temperamental and physical re- actions one upon the other. Mr. Law- rence is a great realist. except when he is recording conversations" Of James Joyce, Mr. Hueffer has high hopes as "a writer of very beautiful composed English." Mr. Hueffer's «essay in the July Yale Review will appeal to readers who like to keep up with the best work being done by the young novelists who "are going on to the new adventures." THE RYERSON ESSAYS. The Ryerson Essays were devised for the purpose of providing precise and ready information on questions of immediate and pressing import- jance. These Essays are adequate, au- thoritative and timely. They are pre- pared to meet a definite need, and therefore possess a practical as well as a scholarly value. While they are eminently fitted for private study, INSTRUCTOR --- Sv E.R Lrwis YORK, .

This is a very delightful romance and will add to the splendid reputa- tion of Mr. McGrath. Ruth Enschede, a charming unsophisticated girl, brought up in the islands of the sea far from the artificialities of modern civilization, is on her way to Amer- ica, which to her imagination is a veritable wonderland. She arrives at Canton and has all sorts of adven- tures, picking up information from fellow-travellers regarding the un- reasonable demands of modern con- vention. Ah Cum, the sphinx-like Chinaman, acts as a guide, and ori- ental life is described with artistic skill. r The kernel of the story is wher Ruth meets Howard Spurlock, a foolish young fellow aspiring to be an author. Howard who is a fugi- tive from home, having stolen several thousand dollars 'from a stern old sunt. He becomes desperately ill and despondent, and Ruth tenderly nurses him from the ragged edge of death to life and hopefulness. The young couple get married, and How- ard's gifts as an suthor obtain recog- account of reconciliation with the stern old aunt when everything comes lout all 'right and everybody is as APPARATUS DEVICES By RALPH BROWN, RADIO ENGINEER A RADIO RECEIVER AND LIBRARY LAMP COMBINED tube detector, two stas~ ampitier and a loud speaker.
