A. “Learn-to- Swim” course this week was expanded terday to accommodate the overflow of applicants for the free swimming Jesson: 5. Nine classes of 30 men each had been arranged under origipal plans, but the steady stream of non-swimmers to the registration desk in the lobby of the Central Y. M. C. A. necessitated or- ganization of two additional classes. First Classes Tomorrow. The first class, long since filled, will be given the primary lesson in ducking and floating in the men’s pool of the ¥. M. C. A. at Eighteenth and G streets tomorrow at 10 am. The second class will enter the pool at 10:45 am., the third at 12:15 p.m., the fourth at 1 pm., the fifth at 4:45 p.m, and the Temainder at 45-minute intervals until m. m'l'l;m'ty minutes of intensive instruc- tion by Kenneth Clayton and Dallas Shirley, Y.

Drive to Reduce Accidents. The Star joined with the Y, M. O. A. in this campaign in the belief that loss of life, due to accidents in the water, can be reduced materially by education in the art of swimming. A great ma- jority of people find it very easy earn how to swim under expert instruc- tion. Five or six lessons usually are sufficient. With hot weather in the offing, The Star and the Y. M. C. A. urges every man_ over 18 who is unable to swim to sign up for the free course which starts tomorrow. It is not too late to enroll.
