The Importance of learning to swim

ing the learn-to

Washington ana ne&rDy Virginia ana
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 Jhose of
other public officials who are support
ing the campaign, Commodore Long
fellow said:
“I cannot stress too strongly the
importance of teaching every boy to
swim. It is an ability that every one
should acquire as early in life as
passible. 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 a
safeguard against loss of life by
drowning, but affords a 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 instruc ion dozens can learn to
swim^in the time it formerly took to
teach a single individual. It is quite
possible to leam 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 saiety in Wash
ington.”
ARGENTINA DEFERS
REFUNDING OFFER
Market Conditions Held Un
favorable Despite Registry
With S. E. C.
Br the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 25—The Ar
gentine government ha$ decided to
defer offering of $42,000,000 in re
funding bonds recently registered
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission because market condi
tions at present do not appear favor
able, Dr. C. Alonso Irigoyen. finan
cial attache of the Argentine Embassy,
announced yesterday.
The refunding operation necessary
to the retirement of two 6 per cent
Issues by October 1 will be made
from cash resources of the treasury,
built up largely for the purpose of
an issue of internal bonds, he said.
"Operations in the (American)
market in the near future will there
fore be limited to the refunding of
about $33,000,000 of $ per cent dollar
bonds,” the announcement said.
Cats Rule the Weather. '
It was an old North of England
•uperstitlon 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
caused 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.”
Tire Easily?
That dragged-out feeling is fro
quently the result of a consti
pated condition of the bowels.
Headaches, sleeplessness and
skin trouble may also in many
cases be traced to the same
source.
Constipation is dangerous for
anybody. Nujol is safe for every
body. It does not affect the
stomach, and is not absorbed
by the body. Medical authori
ties approve Nujol because it is
so safe, so gentle and so natural
in its action.
Nujol makes ep for a defi
ciency of natural lubricant in the
intestines. It softens the waste
matter and thus permits thor
ough and regular bowel move
menu without griping.
Just try Nejol regularly foe
the next month and see if you
don’t feel better than you ever
suspected you could.
Ask your druggist for Nujol
and insist on the genuine.

NEW HAZARDS PERIL
TRUCE IN SHIPPING
Employers Reiterate Threat of
Lockout as Longshoremen
Press Demands.
BT 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 reiterated 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
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
through such picket line, relations
with the International Longshore
men's Association will be suspended.”
FLEET WAR GAMES
MOST SECRET VET
Less Known About Tactics
Next Month in Pacific
Than Any Since War.
Br 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.
Information percolating from naval
sources discloses that the scene of
action will be in the area designated
u the Eastern Pacific. It is 5,000,000
square miles of oceanic triangle, the
points being Southern California, the
Aleutian Islands in the Far North
and the Aleutian Islands to the west.
50,000 Men to Participate.
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. He took his command up
the coast to the Aleutians and thence
southerly to Midway Island, near
which the climactic battle was staged
between two fleets, Admiral Harris
Lanlng commanding the battle fleet.
Block and Tarrant Chiefs.
This year Admiral C. C. Block
commands the battle force and Vice
Admiral W. T. Tarrant the scouting
force.
It is expected that the new de
stroyer leaders, known as vest pocket
cruisers, will function at least as a
division, If not as two divisions.
Fourteen battleships are ready for
the maneuvers and at least as many
heavy cruisers, including the newest
member of the scouting force, the
Quincy, due next month from the
East Coast.
Basic plans for the war games were
reported to have been worked out a
year ago by the Navy General Board.
