ARTICLE VI T the risk of repeating, I want again to emphasize the im- portance to beginners of this section of the series having to do with breath control and getting acquainted with this strange ele- meng, the water, You had your head under water in the last lesson, if you are ex- ecuting the exercises, more times, probably, than ever before. You did not swallow a drop of water, choke or gag. Your fear of the water is greatly reduced and you have started to get some mental relaxation. Now you are in a ‘mood to learn something more about swimming. The next step in learning to swim is not to take up a stroke. The stroke is only a mechanical means of propelling yourself through the water. The thing to do now is to learn to become at heme in the water. After your face is in the water open your eyes. This is a new sensation for your eyes,.and at first it may seem irritating. Re- member. you are not in a bath- tub, there is no soap in the water, and clean, clear water will not hurt your eyes. If the water does seem to irri- tate your eyes, keep it up, and, after a number of times, you will find that the water is quite agrece- able to the eyes. You might then take one hand from the railing, place it under the water and bring it toward or away from your eyes, whichever is necessary to focus it till you can plainly see your hand. A Matter of Discipline. OW that you have learned to keep your cyes open in the water a always keep them open while your face is in the water, unless the water is not clear and clean. The néxt step is to place your face in the water (lcaning a little from the waist to accomplish this), open your eyes and hold your breath. Let your body set- tle a little in_the water so that it will be partially floating. Then fet vour feet leave the bottom and float out behind you. All this time you are holdi the railing to keep from floating away. Now try to relax your muscles and really give yourself over to the water. It makes no difference whether your legs float high or low, just so long as your to GOLF EVENT DELAYED.

HOW TO GAIN IN THE WATER EXPLAINED legs float off of the bottom. Don’t make any effort to bring the legs high. Now you want to ket up. The proper way to get up is to bring the legs down to the starting position by bending at the waist, a little at the knee, and very, very slowly bring the legs forward un- til they are directly beneath you at right angles to your upper body. Then, and only then, lift your head out of the water and expel the air from your lungs, blow and relax. The value in this particular stunt lies in the fact that the slower you bring the legs for- ward the more mental discipline you arc acquiring. The natural tendency of the beginner is to bring the legs forward as rapidly as possible to shorten the time that the face is under the water. You are not improving until you bring your legs forward very, very slowly. You see, you cannot get up in the water unless you bring your legs down to the bot- tom. € THE BEACH AT WAIKIKI” Surfriding Race in Hawaii BOATS IN LONG RACE.

CONFIDENCE This cannot be accomplished violently when you are not hold- ing on to something. All ‘move- ments in the water must be made slowly. It even takes time for a stone to sink in the water. Still, beginners expect to get their legs down instantly. Concentrate in Relaxing. XT time you try the stunt i vou must concentrate your attention upon relaxing in the water and upon accentuating the slowness with ‘which you brihg the legs down under you to re- gain your standing position. After that loosen® up the hold of your hands on the railing so that the fingers are only touching it and are being used only as an anchor and not to support the body. Let the water support the body. Remember, you must bring your legs forward slowly and get up slowly. The next article will end the section devoted to breath control | and getting confidence. | (Cuprrigne, 192 the Bell Syndiea Johnny Weissmuller at Extreme Left. I cannot answer’ E nearest I can come to explaining the ability to select tobacco is to say that it is a certain ability to tell by sight, or touch, or smell, what is fine tobacco and what is not. When I was a youth, em- ployed in a cigar factory, I had this Fecu]inr ability. And when I became a-cigar manufacturer it proved to be of inestimable value in se- curing the finest tobaceofor La Palina. . The methods employed in making La Palina are equally important. Men who have served this company for years train each cigar- maker. Each one must know exactly how to combine the tobaceos that produce the La Palina flavor and how to arrange the leaf tips so that this flavor lasts as long as you smoke the cigar. If you will smoke one La Palina you ‘will join the zanks of these who have made it the leading high- de cigar in the United tates. ik ~ President CONGRESS CIGAR COMPANY :hilldelpiil Excellentes Benator - - Blunts - = = = Magnilla - - - - - - Pertecto Graude - Also mumerous other ‘popular whapes wnd sizes. .
