- SHIN TRAIG URGED N YOUTH Life-Saving Expert Backs Y. M. C. A. Drive to Teach Boys. ‘The importance of learning to swim while young was stressed today by Commodore W. E. Longfellow, assistant national director of first aid and life savingofthe American Red Cross, in indors- ing the learn-to- swim campaign of The Star and the Washington Y.M.C. A ‘The campaign, which begins March 29 and eontinues through April 3, is open to boys _ between the ages of 10 and 18 who cannot swim at all. Boysin ‘Washington and nearby Virginia and Maryland are invited to participate. All that is necessary to enroll is to fill out the attached coupon and mail or bring it to the “Y.” There is no charge for the course and all neces- sary equipment is being furnished by the Y. M. C. A. Adding his indorsement to those of other public officials who are support- ing the campaign, Commodore Long- fellow said: “I cannot stress too strongly the {mportance of teaching every boy to swim. It is an ability that every one should acquire as early in life as possible. Nothing is more tragic than a drowning attributable to the failure of some one to learn to swim. “The ability to swim is not only & safeguard against loss of life by drowning, but affords & means of healthful exercise as well. These courses sponsored by The Star and the Y. M. C. A. are given in a safe and sanitary pool under the direction of capable instructors. “With the modern group methods of instrucion dozens can learn to swim jn the time it formerly took to teach’a single individual. It is quite possible to learn to swim a passable crawl for 20 or 30 feet in five or six lessons. This free swimming course should prove a real worthwhile con- tribution to water satety in Wash- ington.” ARGENTINA DEFERS REFUNDING OFFER Market Conditions Held TUn- favorable Despite Registry With S.

E. Longfellow. Cats Rule the Weather. - It was an old North of England superstition that cats largely ruled the weather. The cats—or witches in the form of cats—used to cause storms, and then ride on them. Also, it was believed that the great gusts of wind which whirled the rain about were ecaused by the breath of a dog be- longing to Odin. It was these old ideas that gave us the common phrase, “raining cats and dogs.” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

BY the Associated Press. SAN PEDRO, Calif, March 24— The shipping truce in Los Angeles Harbor was threatened today by new hazards. ‘While the Water Front Employers’ Association reitérated a lockout pol- icy if longshoremen fail to pass through union seamen’'s pickets, the seamen renewed demands for replace- ment of two “unfair” crews. A lock- out declared by employers yesterday halted operations of 27 cargo ships for five hours until pickets were with- drawn. Center of the dispute was the Ar- gonaut Line freighter Lancaster, with unlicensed personnel signed at Bal- |8 timore from the International Sea- men’s Union. ‘Today the Lancaster was to be joined here by the Pacific with a similar crew. The Sailors’ Union of the Pacific has asked that the “unfair” crews be replaced with West Coast men. In announcing resumption of cargo work yesterday, the employers said that “if another picket line is es- tablished at the steamer Lancaster because of any union factional dispute and if longshoremen refuse to go p—— Tire Easily?

BY the Associated Press. SAN PEDRO, Calif,, March 25— Greater secrecy than ever before shrouds the annual war games of the United States fleet, scheduled to start next month. For the past three years censor- ship of fleet activities has been drawn tighter and tighter, and less informa- tion about fleet exercises and train- ing activities has been given out this year than any time since the World War.

On April 16 the United States fleet is expected to put to sea from the San Diego-San Pedro area with all the realism and secrecy of an actual war-time operation. Units to par- ticipate have not been announced, but indications are that perhaps 158 sur= face and undersea craft, 526 air- planes and more than 50,000 men will take part. : The last week in May will find the fleet entering San Francisco Bay for ceremonies of opening the Golden Gate Bridge. The theater of war for the maneu- vers will be within the boundaries of that famous scene of action in secret problem 16, two years ago. It is known as problem 18 this year. Admiral A. J. Hepburn, new com= mander in chief of the fleet, was com= mander of the scouting force two years ago.
