O NOT attempt these breathing exerolses until you have a fairly easy action with your arms and legs, Keeping the leg kick fast and the arm movement slow. To start the breathing exercise, geot fn the water, take a deep breath of air, put your head under the water, and blow bubbles, forcing the air out of the mouth and nose. Do this antil it does not cause any particular - effort—three or four times will prob- ably be enough to get the hang of it. Now comes the real test. Start the dead man’s float, legs and arms, blow Hubbles under water. Here Is the way to get a new breath, after the old air nas been blown from the lungs. Just the right arm is finishing its stroke and is alongside and parallel to the body and the left arm is just begin- ,jng its stroke, turn the head @rply to the right and grab a breath of air, through your mouth, not through the nose. The only way to keep from ship- ping water in the first several at- tempts at breathing is to have a powerful leg kick and a smooth arm movement while you turn your head. When you get your breath turn the head back to its normal position and blow bubbles again. Every time the right arm gets in the position just described the head should turn and got & new breath of air through the mouth. 1f the arms are moving too fast it will be impossible fo breathe on every stroke, so keep the arm action slow and the leg movement fast. Don't get discouraged if you ship a few mouthfuls of water. .

Just read below and you will see How base ball bats have come to be. HAT bat which you are so proud of took a great deal of trouble and labor to make. Before it ever thought of being a bat, it was part of an ash tree and might have grown in one of twenty different states. Finding good, straightgrained ash to make base ball bats is a problem nowadays, because ash is also used for wheel spokes, and there is a limited supply. The best ash for making base ball bats is what is called “second growth white ash.” This second growth ash is the part of the tree which grows after a tree has first been cut down. Second growth is tougher and straigher grained than the virgin ash. Logging the trees to a lumber mill after they are cut is the first thing which must be done to make your base ball bat. At the lumber mill the tree is barked, sawed, and cut into handy lengths. Buyers from the great sporting goods manufacturers inspect this wood at the lumber mills, buy up a lot of it, and have it sent to their factories. The bat is then finished off, the ends being smoothed up and trimmed. Next, it is oiled and waxed. Then a coat of a special sort of shellac is put on it and set on fire. This gives the finished product the nice, burnt, smooth finish. Cartoon Magic—The Hidden Frog. which she makes with the loveliest of tiny stitches.

Before the crude leather can be used at all it must go through a number of processes to soften and preserve it. The leather goes from chemical vat to chemical vat and is finally ready for its start in being made into a base ball glove. Skilled men cut the good portions of the hide into convenlent sized pieces and the pleces are then cut according to a pattern. There are twenty-five separate pieces of leather in the mitt used by one famous big lloague first baseman, and each of these pleces must be cut with great accuracy and sewed together just so. Padding a glove successtully also calls for expert work, and special de- signers are kept busy inventing new and better types of pads to be used in gloves.
