"Although swimming is one of the , finest of all recreations, the safe an sensible swimmer is quick *o r recognize that u number of health hazards are associated with awimni--1 Ing which should be known and a--1 voided. Neglect in guarding against 1 these hazards may result in serious Injury to the swimmer’s health and ' may even result in endangering his life. "Few persona attempt to acquaint themselves with the sanitary environment of quality of the water in which they swim. There is a blind trust in the supervisory authority of an official supposedly on constant watch. Frequently however, such sanitary supervision is either not exercised or the supervision is so nominal or unskilled as to afford no adequate protection. Do not go into a public pool unless it ha.< been registered by the Water and Eewage Department of the Indiana State Board of Health. "Swimming places in streams should not. of course, be exposed to the discharge of raw sewage. The presence of garbage, refuse or waste is evidence of contamination sufficiently grave to warrant the exclusion of bathers. In order to be tea sonably certain as to the sanitary quality of water in swimming places the advice of the local or Indiana State Health Department should be sought and followed. “Among the many simple rules for a swimmer to follow are: 1. Do not go in tine water "hen overheated. Failure to observe this rule may cause cramps. 2. Do not swim immediately after eating. An interval of at least two hours should elapse. 3. Do not swim until over tired.

When this is done the splendid tonic effects of swimming are lost anti an undesirable reaction is substituted. 4. Do not 101 l in the water for several hours at a time. To obtain the beneficial effects of a swim one should not remain in the water longer than thirty minutes at a time. 5. Do not follow the practice of drying off’ often in a chilly atmosphere. Take a brisk rub after each wwiin and change into dry clothes nst. a I of allowing the clothing to dry 1 b n . Ire body."

Martyn United Press Staff Correspondent. Burlington N. J.. June 19 —(UP) * —The passing of the “taxi of the Orient," the jinriksha, from Hongkong. Tokio, Shanghai and other leading cities of the Far East, in favor of the natty American-made motorcycles, with their smart and practical little s de cars, has set-; iously affected one of this city’s' leading industries. So rapid in recent years has been the decrease of these one-1 man-power vehicles that soon they will become a thing of the mind and memory as that “Phantom J ’riksha” of Kipling. But here in Burlington, nestled i snugly along the banks of the Delaware River, several gaunt factory building where activity has ceased are grim reminders that it was here that practically all the ma-chine-made jinrikshas in the world wet*e built. It was James H. Birch, Jr., a banker and exporter of this city, i who showed the Mongols how to , put the taxi business on a paying ' bads. He it was who introduced factory-made ’rikshas and sold ' them bv the thousands in competition with native models manufactured by the cheapest labor in the world. The several Birch factories supplied China and Japan with ’rikshas, Korea with its strange onewheeled cabs, propelled by a man fore and aft, Madagascar with its . Pousse-pousse, Cuba with its Volatine, India with its queer, spidery rigs with the high seat up behind the driver and other odd-looking carriages in Ceylon, Australia, Borneo and the far corners of the earth. Birch, in fact, brought to. South Africa the first wheel of any kind ever seen in many sections there. He actually spread the use of the jinrikisha to the Dark Continent. Ten or 15 years ago more than 5,000 jinrikshas were turned out annually by the Birch factories, and with their output of some 100,000 buggies, for sale both in this I country and abroad, the industry was one of the strongest in the city. Today everything is closed but the office where Birch keeps un an export business with several foreign companies selling building materials. “Yes, the motorcycle ruined my rikie business just as the automo-

! bile ruined every other carriage ’ makers", Birch ruminated as he ' eat In his old office. ' The place itself is a picture of another period, a period when the handsome phaetons and victorias, i surreys and traps were the pride iof their owners as they dashed ,' down the streets behind spanking | teams of bay horses. Until 40 years ago, when Birch was not 20 years old, the company I contented itself with selling its i products in the carriage business . In this country alone. A trip to South Africa showed Birch, Jr., I the possibilities of wheeled pas- [ senger vehicles there. "1 induced my father to send a few down there for a trial, and the first native who saw it, accustomed to carrying burdens on his head, picked it up, passenger and I all and bore it away. I showed him how to pull It along on the ground and all was settled. The age of carriages started then and there in Africa." o Free Rides for Aqed Liverpool -(UP) —Old-age pen-sion-.s over 70 will be given free i rides on Liverpool tramways if a; I scheme being considered by the council is adopted. — oWanted—A Department Hoquiam.

WELLS EXPECTS PRICE RISE FOR SHAW ORIGINALS Collector Says Market Was Flooded When G.B. S. Papers Were High By Henry T. Russell, UP Staff Correspondent London. June 19- (UP) — Shaw manuscripts, the “gilt-edged secur- ■ itles of the world's manuscript mark 1 1” have slumped, but. according to Gabriel Wells, philosopher, peace-lover and Napoleon of Shaw manuscripts, “there is not the slightest doubt that Shaw will | Lack bigger than ever." Wells, famed for the huge prie s he has been known to pay for famous manuscripts and autographs, and reputed to be one of the | world's greatest experts in books, | discussed and explained the causes of the recent slump In Shaw manuscripts. He spoke in an exclusive interview to the United Press. “It is not that people think less of G. B. S. but because th re is ' too big a supply of Shaw manuscripts on the market," he said, explaining the reason for the present depreciation of value in Shaw manuscripts. "As a matter of fact, Shaw himself knew the market for his famous scribbling would collapse sooner or later and once he warned me 'Look out,’ he said, 'there will be a crash.' ’’ "But, just as when the stock ex-

change recovers front a collapse of tbs market the good securities come back, so there is not the slightest doubt that Shaw manuscripts, the gilt-edge securities of the world's manuscript market will come hack bigger than ever. ' Shaw, you see, is an International I figure. "Shaw's very fame has caused most of the trouble. There is per- ■ I hups not a single author in the ’world whose letters have been kept so preciously all over the world. As a result when high prices were announced to have been paid for his autographs the market gradually became flooded and has been ' so ev r since. Such has not been the case with a number of other LI famous authors many of whose let .' te: s were torn up by the reel- , pients." Discussing G. B. S. himself, Wells , told of how Shaw once replied to , a remark mad? about his work: " ‘Of course it's great,’ wrote the ( author, 'of course, it's great. Every- . thing I write is great.’" "After all," added Wells, "a great man knows that he is great. Some of them admit it. Some of them i deny it. Shaw simply pioclaims it. . But when he parades his genius he . really does it to pull people's legs. I It seems to be In accord with the t part the public si" ms to expect him i to play in this world. -The proof . that he does not take himself as seriously as some people are in- ■ I dined to think is contained in the ■ following anecdote: “A friend of someon > who knew Shaw once asked if it would be J possible to get a copy of Shaw's ■ Intelligent Woman's Guide to SoI ctalism.' The person who solicited I the favor was a Welfare Worker, I i Shaw was told when the book was 1 placed before him to be auto-i
