ROTARY SENDS
BOYS TO GAMP
It looked for awhile Thursday noon
t the club's weekly luncheon at the
Hotel Sheldon that El Paso Rotary
was going to change Its tslod about
appropriating $125 to send a Mexican
boy scout troop to the camp at Cloud
croft Vot that Rotary had any desire to
dery the scouts an outing or was
opposed to spending the money, tor
Kciary is backing the Boy Scout
movement here. It was explained, and
Mrtually every member is a heavy
annual contributor. But, according to
Juhu. Lorentsen, who moved to re
consider the action of the club two
weeni ago when it voted to recom
mend to the boart of directors that
125 be voted to the scout outing and
that the members be assessed $1 each
to pay it, there was a matter of prin
ciple inoled.
Urges Caution.
That was that Rotary should not
vote money too hastily for anything
until stock had been taken of the
treasury's contents and that further
more it was not in the board's power
to assess members. Dr. XL L. Ramey
supported Mr Lorentsen, but Jack
Sheehan. Ed. Lachman, G. A. Martin,
Dr. Fuller Swift and several others
declared in favor of digging down
after the money.
Claiborne Adams moved that every
thing up to now be forgotten and
that everybody pay the dollar and
forget it. With a whoop and a stand
ing ote Mr. Adams's motion went
over Rabbi Martin Zielonfca, made
the suggestion that it was a good
idea for the board of directors of
any club, more especially Rotary, to
let the members know how much
money the treasury had in it from
time to time.
Bequest Accepted
Most of the meeting was given to
business. The bequest of 10 a year
made to Rotary by the will of the
late Robert Krakauer, -one time pres
ident of the club, was accepted by
unanimous vote and his name goes
on the roster permanently without
Uassification.
Charles Andrews, secretary, read
unmunicatiOM, one of them from
district president Lutcher Stark,
prodding up the locals.
G A. Martin had charge of the
stunts. He called on James A. Bor
ders, cashier of the American Trust
rnd Savings bank, to introduce Al-
irea r. Kerr, vice president of the
El Paso Bank and Trust company.
Mr. Kerr has recently joined.
Explained Car Troubles.
Aires Dixon, superintendent of the
street railway company, was given
a few minutes to teU some of the in
side troubles of his company and he
did it interestingly.
Five members paid vlrthday fines
at the rate of S cents a year for each
-vcar ct their lives. They were:
Charles Andrews, $1.80; -E. C. Davis,
JIT., Julius Lorentzen, 32; H. I.

Guards, In Month, Save 42 Persons
From Drowning In Swimming Pool
XT WAS a warm, still afternoon and
X omy tne snouts or a score or mors
of bathers disturbed the calm at

different from the other cries In its
note of distress. A whistle shrilled
its warning and four husky life
Boards hurled themselves through
the water at top speed.
It was a woman. Unable to swim,
she had nevertheless walked delib
erately beyond her depth. Presently
she rested her head above water, on
the shonlders of a big: life guard
Then she was taken out. assisted to
the dressing rooms and soon was as
happy a spectator on the bathhouse
veranda as any.
Thus far 42 oersons wttn 11.01.. In
danger of drowning have been taken
from the water by the life troard
crew at the pool while 23 others

have been given assistance or were 1
rescued after thev hart irin th.
alarm aS & Hake." Th.K. fimraa in- !
dude the time from the pool's open
ing, July u to August 1. Just a
month.
Eight men and one woman con
stitute the regular staff of life sav
ers, while several "extras" work oc
casionally, when the crowd is targe.
Grady Weeks is the chief life guard.
His crew consists of Wagner Dawson.
William Race. Joe Davis. Hal Bnetell,
Slim" Din, Mack Goldman and Leo
Wren, with Mrs. Eleanor Bailey as
the woman guard.
Picked for Ability and Strength.
The guards are picked for their
ability and strength primarily, and 1
are armed In handling the drowning
persons. To aualifv as a mard th.
applicant must bring from the center
of the pool to the ropes in shallow 1
water, a man who gives him no as
sistance. A cool head, watchful eve
and courteous manner are the other
qualifications.
Four of the guards are constantly
on duty. Two are stationed an life
guard stations in the center of the
pool and two constantly patrol the
sides on the watch for tired or dis
tressed swimmers. Ail the men em- 1
ploy the simple overhand stroke in
their rescue work. '
With the soundlnir of the whistle
alarm by the guard' who has located
a distressed swimmer, all the guards
start toward the spot. The guard who
rlrst located the swimmer goes at
once to the rescue, while a second
stands ready with a "doughnut" life
buoy, for use if the swimmer fights
so as to endanger the guards. Thus
far, in the 75 taken from the water,
no need has been found for the buor.
While the nearest guard is rescuing
we swimmer ail tne others, except
one, go to his assistance. The re
maining guard has his attention
directed continually at other swim
mers lest the excitement cause them
to become distressed is the water.
Majority Cannot Swim.
"Nine out of 10 whom we have
taken out of the deep water cannot
swim," said Weeks. They will abso
lutely disregard their own safety and
the deeper water has a fascination
for their venturesomeness. Disregard
of safety is f ne big cause of distress
among the swimmers and non-
swimmers, although cramps and other
things have caund us some work. A
favorite stunt of young .girls is to
Dersuade their escorts to carrv them
across the pool on their backs. Only
the best swimmers can do this. The
man Is confronted with admitting
that he is not a good enough swimmer
or of taking a big chance in carrying
a woman who cannot swim into the
deeper water"
Thus far two rescued persons were
unconscious and were resuscitated by
the "barrel method" that Is, rolling
them so that the water Is expelled
from the stomach and lungs. The
guards, however, are trained In
various other resuscitation methods

'There's a Reason
Gi-OttGIA is wonderful state, in
te opinion of Miss Grace 'Wal
lace, D on jayxwe avenue, ine
fact that she was born there may be
her reason for thinking so. But Miss
Wallace disagrees flatly with the
Georgia legislature in Its attitude
toward bathing suits.
"Georgia thinks a woman's bath
ing suit should consist of a rain coat,
a ehawl and a pair of boots," Miss
Wallace said Saturday. "I think It
should be the simplest and most ab
breviated garment imaginable and
still be in keeping with the moral
coae.
Inasmuch as Miss Wallace Is a
swimming expert she can't see much
advantage In staying in Georgia.
She is in El Paso where there is a
little more liberality in the matter
of sea going garb.

the sn&rds except in their line of
duty. Neither are they permitted to

hours. At all times each guard most
continually keep his attention on the
swimmers.
"There Is not a chance for a person
to drown If we know they are In
distress," Weeks said. "Oar emards
are all powerful swimmers and all
that is necessary for them Is to see
the person in danger. One coold not
possibly drown In the time it wonld
take a snard to reach them. Of
couae. If a man went under the water
without a sound or without anyone
knowing he was in danger we wonld
be helpless."
SIjuit "Women Rescued.
The majority of those rescued thus
far have been women. One woman.
who prides herself on her ability, has
been rescued twice from the pool.
Bach time she pave the guard who
rescued her & thorough scolding; de
clarinc she "didn't need his halo."
but the slightest evidence of distress
on her part will bring the guard
whether or not she so desires.
Another case reported by the
guards was that of two women who
deliberately walked into deep water.
Neither could swim, they admitted
after their rescue. One life guard
took both women to the shallow
water.
Another interesting rescue was
when the "biggest woman at the
pool" thoncht she was drownine.
screamed for help and was rescued
by the smallest life guard employed
there.
Most of the rescues have occurred
during the rush hours, from 2 p. m.
to 9 p. m.
One thing which the guards have
to contend with Is the giving of fake
alarms by good swimmers. Bach
time a person is found to have given
a fake distress cry to summon the
guards, that person la ordered out of
the pool
Fake Alarms Drop Off.
Becently the guards heard a
scream and all rushed to the center
of the pooL where a woman appeared
to be In a dangerous situation. Just
before the guards reached her she
bobbed her head up in the water and
smiled.
"Nice swimming hoys," she said, "I
Just wanted to enjoy watching you
fellows make your best speed."
