TT1E WEEKLT TRIBUNE AND CAPE COUNTY IIERALD, XnfRSDAY MORNING FEIJRrART22, 1917. THE GAPE WEEKLY TRIBUNE! AND THE CAPE COUNTY HERALD , S Ererj Friday by THE CAPE' GIRARDEAU PUBLISHING COMPANY. JAMES P. WHITESIDE, Editor. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR IN ADVANCE ; CAPE GIRARDEAU AND THE FRISCO. ; When the Frisco Railroad entered into an agreement with Louis Kouck and then attempted to forget it, he twisted the railroad's tail. This city t-euld well afford to adopt the Houck idea. The City Council's protests at the Frisco's impositions heretofore have been as mild as a grass widow's indigna tion over a stolen kiss. THE MUNICIPAL SWIMMING POOL. The municipal swimming pool, which now seems a certainty through the efforts of the Civic Improvement Association and the donation of $3000 by the city, is an advanced idea, but to be useful, i must be given close attention. Public swimming pools have proved very beneficial to grown-ups as well a.- to children in the large cities, and the Cape Girardeau lake will no doubt serve a great purpose. But it is necessary that proper precautions are taken to prevent drownings, v.hich occur even in the pools of St. Louis. Expert swimmers should be re quired to be in constant attendance at the pool during the hours when children Tisit it. To prevent the spread of disease, the water must be changed at least once in every forty-eight hours, and to keep the poo! absolutely free from germs, the water should be kept running in and out of the tank. Typhoid fever linds no field more fertile for jts germs than in stagnant and unclean water. This is a disease that is most dreaded during the summer months, and every precaution should be taken to avoid it. . Under proper conditions, the swimming pool would become immensely popular. There is no more wholesome sport than swimming, for men and women as well as for the young. It is one of the best forms of exercise. Ly charging all adults admission the city should be able to obtain suffi cient revenue to properly take care of the lake. Bat men arid women will not iind enjoyment unless the water is kept pure and those who visit it are Vmpe; ''. to conduct themselves properly. -V.
