Precautions Can Lessen Swimming Accidents

ly HtMRAK N. BUNDBIN, M.B. W1 huiixxu are accident-prone fit all tinwa, particularly If we are Inclined «o be careless, but the summer months seem to accent thia unhappy fact Simple precaution could do much to help this situation. Individual* who go swimming ahould do so only after sufficient time, usually an hour, has elapsed after eating, especially If the meal is heavy. Swimming should be avoided in unguarded areas, unless an exKrt awlmmer is present. Needis to say, children should not be allowed to go swimming unless they are under the supervision of an adult. Drowning Itself is due to obstruction of the respiratory tract 1 by a spasm ot the volca box or - larynx. Usually only small amounts of water enter the lungs, but the spasm caused by the water in the larynx stops the Breatliina.

The pulmotor and artificial respiration can often be lifesavers for the drowning victim. , However, the greatest protection against drowning is still its pre--1 vention by the use of adequate care. Diving Accidents Another frequent water accident occurs when swimmers dive 1 from unfamiliar piers or diving boards. Many cases of fractured ( neck occur every year because . the water may be shallow in . these places. Death or paralysis 1 from the neck down are the re--1 suits of this type of carelessness.

“The letter said he was 17?" “That’s right” The chief shrugged. “He looked like a tad, acted like one. No confidence." ■ ' "Sure," 1 aaid. “What if you found out he was 24? Could jtou believe that?” The chief said: "Uh, maybe. I guess so. Kid never said much. Just acted young and sort a scared.” I nodded slowly and felt slightly sick thinking about it "Did you really work him hard enough to make him quit because he couldn’t stand it?” “Some kids quit right off," the chief said. “It ain't rare. No, I wouldn't say it was that rough. It’s hard getting used to the hours for some of them, but the work ain’t much.” “Maybe the regular hands pushed him around a bit?” “Could be, sure. A new hand takes his lumps." “What about his luggage? Clotlies and personal things?" * "Gone," the chief said. "All he had was a little ditty bag. He musta carried it off under his coat." "He have permission to go ashore?” “Sure. He was off-duty. But Sessions wasn’t no dangerous criminal. He was just a good, clean tad, kinds scared.” "So is the man I want,” I said flatly. “But he killed a cop.” "But you don’t know that Sessions ..." "No, I don’t,” I said. “Did jrou keep that recommendation he showed you?” “Don’t remember," the chief said. "Maybe I did.” "Ordinary hotel letterhead?” I asked. "Or did it say 'Office of the Manager* or something like that?” “No, just ordinary stuff, I guess." “Paper that anyone could have picked up to write a letter,” 1 said almost to myself. “Take a room there, rent a typewriter, use the paper furnished by the hotel, and you’ve got your letter.

I held out my hand toward Grenier. “1 just found your passkey," I said. "As soon as I realized what it was, I brought it right up here. That was about 6:30 tonight, wfcsn’t it?" “Was it?" Grenier said, staring at my open palm. Do you ... I mean, what do you want, Mr. Wilde?" "I want to find your passkey for about half an hour, Mr. Grenier. I have to visit a friend. You don’t really want to know any more about it, do you ?” "No,” he said. He brought out the dull brass key from his desk drawer. “I wonder why 1 am Willing to trust you so much, Mr. Wilde?” “Tm very grateful, sir* I said sincerely. “I’ll be fast and careful And no one will see your key." Doc had bedroom six, exactly below mine and just across from Mias Pomeroy’s. 1 tapped on the door and waited, just in case. Then 1 unlocked it and stepped inside quickly. The room was dark. I didn’t like to turn on the lights, but it was lights dr open curtains. U flipped the switch. Doc’s was a twin-bed room, but except for that it was much the same as mine. A small bag was on a chair and a strange pigskin case that was almost a cube was on the foot of the bed. The case was not locked. It was a box of books, a suedeUned traveller’s library. I turned to the small bag. Very gingerly I felt through the clothes, having no idea of what I was looking for, but somehow feeling I’d know when I found iL But 1 didn't One fast look was enough for a larger bag. It was empty; obviously Doc was a man who got his clothes on hangers as soon as he could. I pulled open the closet door. Doc had a dinner jacket, a dark worsted lounge suit, a thick tweed jacket and flannels to go with it All had ready-made labels in them and all were from a store in Chicago. 1 tapped my hand against the jackets. Nothing in any of the pockets. Until I reached the flannels. Something in the right pocket cracked heavily against my knuckle. 1 could feel a hard small lump.
