The names wiil | | placed om a special tablet and | | placed in the corner-stone of the : | pool when it is dedicated. With | | support continuing tomorrow as | | it has today work will be under | | way Im ten days, the committeo | | announced. The campaign for the swimmin, pool started out well today. . Committees found the sentiment as they ex: le are heartily in favor of the pool and are willing to! make some financial sacrifice to give it to the boys and girls of the city. Reports on the campaign were made at a luncheon at 1 o’clock, at the Elks hall. Busy committeemen hardly stopped long enough to grab a’ bite to eat before resuming a task they found not unpleasant because of the manner in which they were received. The campaign will’ end tomorrow night, the Elks believe. There may be to bring every person'in the city into qe ‘campalen for the support of the pool. Generous $10, $15, $25 and $50 con- tributions were reported, many per- sons indicating a willingness to more than meet the average of $10 for each family in the city necessary to make the campaign a success. Although the protection accorded the boys of the city through having a pool where there are trained attend- | ants has been emphasized, yet the pool will be as much for the young} girls of the city as for the boys, and adults will have pleasure splashing in It ,too. : WOULD GO HUNGRY Many unusual incidents were ‘re- eon. A committee approached one home, a very modest home. The mother gave 2.0 3 “That's all I have’to live'on the rest of the week,” she ‘said, “But I've two children and I can’t watch them all day because’ I work and I want that swimming pool.” | The committee forced the woman to| take back her $2 and added a couple more, but the spirit stirred them on. A committee finished a downtown building and met the manager of an insurance agéncy outside. In talking a member ofthe committee remarked that the man already had given $25 to the boys and they didn’t solicit him. “Why, I told those boys I'd go toa hundred if necessary,” the man re- plied. Such incidenis were numerous. The; committeemen repeated any number! of similar: experiences and were great- ly encouraged by the spirit of the citi- zens. Value to Girls. “Swimming is excellent exercise for girls because it brings so many of the! muscles into play,” said Mrs. Fannie Dunn Quain, asked to. expressed her views. “It inspires courses gad con- fidence in self besides cultivating har- | mony of motion which we commonly | call ‘grace.’ Many girls’ are surprised ; to discover the endurance ‘they de- velop in the water. This knowledge of | their limitations is a fine thing for them to know before: planning their life work. The troop of Girl Scouts! are keenly interested in the prospect of a swimming pool. They, like the boys, have ;certafn water stunts to peform before they can reach the top in the organization and this will be their opportunity. The girls are help- ing and boosting and will hail the/ completion of the ‘Swimmin’ Hole’) with great joy.” BUDGET BILL TS PASSED Wasltiington, May 27.—Passage of a bill establishing a federal budget system was completed to- day, the house adopting the con- ference. - UNEMPLOYMENT BILL KILLED Madison.
