LEARN-TO-SWIM
CAMPAIGN OPENS
24 Pupils Put Through Series
of Exercises in Poo! at
Y. M. C. A.
The “Learn To Swim” campaign of
The Star and the Y M. C. A. opened
' Vjth a big splash this morning In the
pool of the boys' "Y.** at 1732 O street.
The first group of non-swimmers,
numbering 24 boys from 10 to 18 years
of age. plunged into the warm waters
of the pool at 9:30 o’clock, and for the
next 45 minutes they were put through
a series of exercises that left them
panting for breath.
The exercises, which ranged from
breathing to threshing around in the
water, were the preliminaries of a
course of instruction designed to fit
every boy to take care of himself in
the water and to help others in times
of distress
Several Hundred to Learn.
Several hundred boys will have learn
ed to swim bv next Thursday, it was
predicted by those in charge of the
drive. By thus decreasing the number
of bins in the District of Columbia
and nearby Maryland and Vir
ginia who are unable to swim The
Star and the Y. M. C A hope to re
duce the rate of drownings in Wash
ington. Mai. Edwin B. Hesse, superin
tendent of police, points out that eight
boys under 18 years of age drowned in
nearby waters last Summer, and he is
lending hearty support to the "learn to
swim” campaign. Commissioner Proc
tor L. Dougherty. Dr. Prank W. Ballou,
superintendent of schools, and other
city officials are deeply interested.
Three classes were put through their
paces in the bovs' department pool this
morning and six more groups were to
be instructed this afternoon. Leland
W Chandler, boys' swimming instructor s
at the "Y.” was in personal charge of
the instruction.
Four Elements Taught
The beginners were taught the four
elements of swimming this morning—
breathing, floating, kicking and strok
ing. Chandler gave demonstrations of
each exercise, and then the whole class
was told to follow the example set.
Thoroughly drilled in breathing with
out inhaling water into the lungs and
warmed up by the strenuous exercises
with the arms and feet, the boys were
then told to combine the floating and
kicking exercises into the "steamboat'’
and to join the breathing and stroking
tests into the ‘'windmill.” The final
test was a combination of the "steam
boat” and “windmill” exercises into the
**crawl.”
Each class -will repeat these exercises
daily during the drive, until they have
mastered them. Complete mastery of
all the tests means that the novice is
beginning to swim. When he has
reached this point he will be given a
special test, during which he must swim
a distance of 50 feet. Those who are
successful in this test will be awarded
official Red Cross beginners' buttons.
The classes were marshaled this morn
ing by Nelson M. Blake, director of tha
boys’ department. He was almost over
whelmed by the rush of applicants.

INSURANCE BENEFICIARY
FILES SUIT FOR $25,000
Eugene C. Oott, Colorado Building,
business associate of the late Sidney
West, today filed suit in the District
Supreme Court to recover $25,000 from
the Northwestern Mutual Life Insur
ance Co. on the life of Mr. West, who
died August 9. Mr. West took out the
policy February 9, 1927, and paid the
term rate for the interval between Its
date and January 1. 1928. The policy
provided that the name of the bene
ficiary could be changed and February
25, 1927. Mr West substituted the name
of Mr. Oott as the person entitled to
receive the proceeds of the insurance.
Mr. Gott tells the court that follow
ing the death of Mr. West he submitted
to the company proofs of death, but
the company has refused and neglected
to carry out its part of the agreement
by paying over the money. He is repre
sented by Attorneys Tobriner St Gra
