THE SWIMMING CLASS-LESSON IV

For "all around swimming, the trudgeon, or double overarm stroke, Is probably the best stroke there 1s. It has the advantage of speed, and yet Is practically untiring,' which . makes it advantageous for either sprint or distance swimming. Of course,, it

is not as fast a stroke as the

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

Is not so difficult to learn. There

fore, 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 leg.!. That is the principle ff the stroke as far as the footwork is concerned. Continue to practice it until you have thoroughly mastered it. Now begin on the arm move

ment the same movement that you practiced on dry land. Don't try to go too fast; time yourself eo that you make about one stroke a second. ' And be sure that your body is perfectly 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. YQU .can. tro.on only as

It is best not to try to breathe

until you can get the stroke down

to perfection. Many embryo swim

mers 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 -T

the nose in the water.' When the left arm comes forward again, repeat. Perhaps 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 side, however. All that remains now if practice. Remember that your body should

not roll as it goes through the water, nor should the neck be strained back. In swimming, the head should be in a position so that tho water comesjust 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 Bfrles of swimming leHHons will take up tho rrtiwl. This l thr stroke which Im used by most speed swimmorH. I

MAKE GOOD PASTIME FOR A CLEVER GIRL Button face dolls! Have you ever made them? Many are the quaint little people a girl with nimble fingers can make with a piece of cardboard, some white bone buttons, crepe paper and glue. They are fine party remembrances for the guests to take home, and as gifts for the little children next door they can't be beat. Use those white bone buttons that have but two holes in them. Cut out of heavy cardboard a suitable figure, head, arms, feet and

all, and glue a button on as a face. Through sthe two large holes daub a little black paint and you can make the most expressive eyes. The other features of the face must be painted on the button. Dress up the little figure with pieces of crepe paper, or scraps Of cloth from the sewing basket. The making of these cardboard people affords an excellent chance to show originality. Most any kind of character, clowns, old men and Women, story characters, etc., may be made. A little patience and the materials mentioned are all any girl needs. Your little girl friend next door, would be glad to have you make some match box furniture for her doll house, too. This is much simpler to do than the button-face

' dolls, but It, too, gives you some

thing to do in idle moments and is amusing. A dandy miniature bureau can bmade by gluing three or four safety match boxes together so that the sliding containers pull out liko drawers. For a mirror glue a small piece of cardboard to the back of the top box, allowing it to stick up about an inch. A girl with a little ingenuity can. furnish a doll house completely
