M. C. A. to increase Safety for Capital Boys. Spring is here, and Summer is just ahead, with its lure of water sports and attendant hazards for those who cannot swim—so The Evening Star and the Young =~ Men’s Christian Association have joined in a campaign to tcach the boys of Washington how to take care of themselves in the water. Nearly any one can learn to swim with proper instruction, and the per- son who acquires this knowledge is benefiting not only himself, but the community. Instead of being a liability in time of emergency he may find him- self a hero. City Opportunities Fewer. In the days of the old swimming hole most boys knew how to swim, but city life affords youngsters fewer opportu- nitles to become proficient in water sports. The rivers and streams near the big cities have claimed an alarming toll of young lives each Summer, due to the inexperience of city boys as swimmers, accdrding to police statistics. ‘Washington has had more than its share of these water fatalities in past years. With a view to reducing the needless loss of life resulting from in- abllity to swim, The Star and the Boys’ Department of the Y. M. C. A. will hold a “Learn-to-Swim” campaign from April 6 to 11, during which free swim- ming lessons will be given by competent instructors in the boys' pool of the Y. M. C. A. at 1732 G street. Eligibles 10 to 18. All boys between the ages of 10 and 18 years who are unable to swim at least 50 feet are eligible to receive these | swimming 1:ssons. They will be given | six lessons during the course. |- Arrangements for the swimming classes are in charge of J. C. Ingram, director of the * Boys' Department. Mr. Ingram is preparing to enroll 500 or more boys this year. During last | year's campaign 400 boys entered the “gchool” and 50 per cent learned to swim. ‘This is considered a good aver- age, in view of the brevity of the course. Boys may register for the course by | fAilling in the application blank printed herewith and mailing to the Boys' De- partment, Y. M. C. A, 1732 G street. WARNING AGEIHST FAKE CHARITY GROUPS ISSUED Unreliable Societies Reported Using Approach of Easter in Solicit- ing Contributions. | ‘The Indorsement Committee on Wel- | fare Organizations in the District yes- terday warned Washington citizens against soliciting by unreliable organi- zations purporting to be in charitable work. The committee was appointed by the District Commissioners as a sort of better business bureau of social work. It was explained that contributions to various unworthy organizations have been -sought of Washington business men on account of the approach of Easter. Committee members said such societies refused to permit examinations of their books because they were divert- ing most of the funds obtained to un: desirable chanpels. | |§ COPLEY COURTS 1514 17th St. N.W.

Assistant District ‘Attorney Wilbur Baughman prosecuted he case.
