EERE 4 The story of the Odyssey was pre- sented Friday afternoon, May 11, by the seventh and eighth grades of Girton I.ower school, under the di- rection of Miss Holmes. It consist- ed of three acts each one of which was written by one or two members of the grades, the best being selected to compose the play. The costumes were designed by the children after having studied different forms of costumes from the prints and they 'were also made by the children. Collegiate Arrangements have been made with Chauncey A. Hyatt, Coach of New Trier Swimming team, to write a series of illustrated articles on swimming in which he plans to take up the various strokes and explain how each is correctly performed. Other matters pertaining to swim- ming and bathing will also be treatel. The crawl, the breast stroke, the back stroke, the side stroke, elemen- tary diving, floating, life-saving methods, and fancy swiming, will be taken up in turn and each illustrat- ed by actual photographs of champ- ion swimmers who have coached by Mr. Hyatt. Mr. Hyatt has had a wonderful re- cord as coach and instructor in aquat- ics. While instructor at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin he turned out the only swimming team of that in- stitution that ever made a respect- able showing in Westeren Conferen- ce aquatics. Herbert Taylor, who still holds the National Collegiate record in the breast stroke, and who has the dis- tinction of being the only swimmer to ever beat "Mike" McDermott, Olympic swimmer and header of all the world's records in the breast stroke, at the Century event, was a product of Hyatt's coaching. In the short time that he has been at New Trier, Mr. Hyatt has turned out a been CHOUNCEY A. HYATT Coach New Trier H. S. Swimming Team (H. S.

SWIMMING BULLETIN University of Wisconsin 12 larger number of young swimmers of exceptional ability than any coach in the Middle West. Mr. Hyatt has never borrowed swimmers from neighboring schools to make a champion team, but has developed them out of the material at hand. His success has not been limited to champion teams, .for during the past eight years he has instructed hund- reds of men, women and children, and he insists that he has never found a person whom he was unable to teach to swim, who has given him any where near a fair opportunity. The growth of interest in swim- ming the last few years has been re- markable. Bathing beaches and na- atoriums have become necessities, and swimming and bathing as a sport probably attract more enthusiasts than any other athletic activity. The lake front from Glencoe to Evanston has been opened up to the community by the removel of sewers, and a healthy public interest has been aroused. It is hoped that this series of artic- les will be helpful in furnishing in- information regarding the various strokes and aquatic matters to the general public who are not able to ob- tain special instruction by an expert. The first of the series will begin May 17 and additional installments will be published from week to week. REV. F. C.

OFFICIALS URGE LOCAL CANNING CLUBS Shortage of Cans and Jars Threat- ened According to National Specialists. SAVE OLD BOTTLES. Jellies Juices in Them This Season. Preserves, Jams, and Fruit ss The home canning specialists of the United States Department of Ag- riculture urge every housekeeper to save bottles--especially wide-necked ones--for putting up fruits, pre- serves, jellies, jams and fruit juices. Saving of bottles is highly impor- tant, they say, as there threatens to be a serious shortage of regular jars and preserving cans this season. The fruit products named, if sealed with corks and paraffin, can be kept perfectly in these makeshift contain- ers. Jellies, jams, and preserves can be kept even in ordinary drinking glasses, by the use of paper and paraffin. Fruit juices should be packed in ordinary small-necked bottles. Vegetables, soup, and meats, on the other hand, to keep must be sealed by the usual fruit jar. or tin-can packing methods. Reserve regular containers for foods that can not be packed in bottles. Urge Canning Clubs. The specialists are also urging all members of canning clubs and others not only to can products, but to dry and evaporate all such products a} apples, pumpkins, and squash. They advise strongly that if containers are scarce locally, those in stock should be used to preserve perishable prod- ucts which have the highest nutritive value. Nothing should be packed in jars or tins which can be conserved effectively in other ways. Candy containers or other glass jars with screw tops or glass stop- pers, and in fact any receptacle of glass, crockery, or porcelain, can be sealed with cork or paper and par- affin. 4 $Y GF QF LY LY UNCLAIMED LETTERS {34 Winnetka, Ill, May 1, 1917.
