BALLOU SUPPORTS SWIMMING CLASS School Superintendent Ap- proves Lessons at Y. M. C. A. Sponsored by Star. A firm believer in the value of swim- ming as a wholesome recreation and hel.lt,h(u! exercise, Dr. Frank W. Ballou, rintendent of the District public -e ools system, again this year has cmnfled his co-opernlon to the “Learn to Swim” campaign conducted by the boys’ department of the Y. M. C. A. and sponsored by The Star. Commending the program under which expert swimming instruction will be given free of charge to non-swim- mers between the ages of 10 and 18 all next week at the Y. L, Ballou has extended to the institution the privilege of placing application cards with the principals of the local elementary, junior and senior high schools. “Swimming is & wholesome and gopu]nr sport, splendid exercise and & ealthful means of real fun for the growing youth when forethought and caution are brought into play to avoid dangers into which a heedless child etimes ukes himself,” Dr. Ballou today. “I am therefare glad to urage the program by which boys of school age will be taught the ert of swimming, under expert -instruction, because it will prepare scores of youths 10 take care of themselves while en- Joying various sports on water.” Classes will be started next Monday | Dr. Jason Noble Pierce.

PARIS (#).—Recent moves by Prince Carol, who renounced the throne of the usual crop of rumors both in Bucharest and in this city, where his political foes and friends altke watch every development in the Balkan kingdom. 1t was noted, for instance, that Carol made a visit alone to Sigmarigen, cradle of the Hohenzollern family, and this was taken as first evidence that his thoughts were reverting to his family. Moreover he sounded out his former wife, Princess Helen, as to what her attitude would be if he should return to Rumania as a simple citizen, without idea of displacing their son, young King Michael, on_the throne. Princess Helen replied she would have no objection. But this, it was pointed out, was merely a personal answer and without any sort of official approval. The Rumanian political picture, how- ever, is changing and royalist circles believe there may come a time when | Carol's return would be opportune, serve as a sort of arbitrator between the ambitions of his own.
