Medical Direc
tor Warns of
Swimming Dangers
4th of July Approaching Brings a
Warning of Dangers for the
Holiday Swimmers.
Predicting that there will probably
be more swimmers in the water on
the Fourth of July than on any other
day of the summer, Dr. Robert A.
Fraser, chief medical director of the
New York Life Insurance company
offers three simple rules which should
go far in preventing the large num
ber of swimming accident which oc
cur every year during the summer
months.
Dr. Fraser has been making a spec
ial study of hot weather accidents
and disablements. "If everyone," he
says, "will remember the following
three rules many lives will be spared
and much sorrow avoided: First,
never go swimming alone; second,
keep out of the water for at least one
full hour after a meal; third, never
dive into water until you are sure
of its depth.
"They are just 'common sense
rules," Dr. Fraser said, "yet failure
to observe them probably accounted
for the great majority of the 5,500
swimming fatalities estimated by the
National Safety Council for the year
1935 the latest figures that are avail
able. "Many people are drowned every
year because they insist on going
swimming alone and are powerless to
help themselves when seized with a
cramp or faced with some other sud
den emergency.
"As for keeping out of the water
directly after eating, a life guard at
one of the large semi-public pools
here in the east tells me that he and
the other guards know that their
busy period will occur in the hour
between two and three o'clock every
day, when diners rush from the table
into the water and are seized with
cramps. More people get into diffi
culty during that hour than at any
other time during the day.
"And finally, the dangers of div
ing into water without first knowing
the depth are obvious to every one."
Two Common Emergencies
A large percentage of swimming
fatalities are the result of the swim
mer losing his head when faced with
an emergency. It is imperative to
keep a steady head. When suddenly
caught in a swift current. Dr. Fraser
points out that it is foolish and dan
gerous to fight the force of the wa
ter. Better, pick out a spot on shore,
well down stream, and let the water
bear you along while you slowly work
yourself to land, letting the current
carry you.
When unexpectedly caught in
rough water, do not try to ride over
the waves. Keep low in the water
and when a wave is seen coming,
hold the breath and go through it,
thus conserving strength. Work your
way slowly to shore, resting fre
quently. Lie flat, don't try to stand
on the water, and keep the chin sub
merged. Arm and Leg Cramps
Most arm and leg cramps pass off
very quickly, according to Dr. Fraser.
"Do not 'fight' such a cramp," Dr.
Fraser warns, "but turn over on your
side and swim as best you can, rest
ing the 'cramped' member. The more
you 'fight' this kind of a cramp, the
worse it becomes and you will soon
exhaust yourself and be in" serious
difficulty."
Even experienced, competent swim
mers should not attempt long dis
tances, or go far from shore, unless
accompanied by a boat, Dr. Fraser
advises. The fact that a particular
course was covered safely in the past
is no guarantee that the individual
will be so fortunate again. Wind,
current, temperature, the swimmer's
physical condition, there are many
factors beyond control that may bring
disaster unless there is a boat close
by with assistance ready.
learn How to Apply Artificial
Respiration
The "Prone," or Schafer method
of artificial respiration is advocated
by practically all life saving agencies
and medical authorities and is the
one that everyone should understand
and be able to use. "Don't roll a
drowned person over a barrel or hold
him up by the heels for the water to
run out," Dr. Fraser warns. "Such
practices are dangerous."
In administering artificial respir
ation, place the patient face down
on the ground, one arm extended for
ward, the other bent to form a cush
ion for the head which is turned on
one side. The body should lie on a
distinct pitch, the head being lower
than the feet.
Using your fingers, force the pa
tient's tongue to the front of the
mouth, assuring free passage of air
lip fir.e work s -1 'AMjmm ,
jl 3 Mpr t 7, ving features &y naivete. Lie
into the lungs. This is very import
ant and must be accomplished.
Now straddle one of the patient's
knees, facing the same direction as
the patient, placing yourself just be
hind the buttocks. Place your palms
on the small of the back with fing
ers pointing down over the two lower
ribs.
Keep the arms straight and bend
forward so that your entire weight
is gradually brought to bear on the
natient Then swine vnnrsplf smart-!
ly backward, removing all weight
from the patient's ribs quickly, while
the thorax expands and draws fresh
air into the lungs.
County While You Do It
Learn to apply artificial respiration
by "count." Place your palms in posi
tion with the count of "one"; with
the count of "two" let the weight
come forward on your stiffened arms;
with the count fo "three" remove
all weight and return to the first
position.
Repeat the cycle of movements
and keep on repeating for three or
four hours if necessary, getting in
from 12 to 15 complete cycles to the
minute. "Two hours is the minimum
period for applying artificial respir
ation," Dr. Fraser reminds those giv
ing it. "Keeping everlasting at it is
even more important than being a
highly skilled operator. Remember,
you have everything to gain and
nothing to lose."
One good way to become proficient
in the "prone" method is to work
with a friend, taking turns bein pa
tient and rescuer, until you have mas
tered the simple movements and have
the little trick of the "one, two
three" count.
ALASKA SINCE 'SO YIELDS
$722,222X00 IN WEALTH
WASHINGTON (UP). The value
of minerals produced in Alaska since
18S0 has reached $722,222,000
100 times the price paid Russia for
the country in 1867 the Geological
Survey has reported.
Mines produced $23,594,000 worth
of minerals in 1936 as against $18,
312,000 in 1935, the survey showed.
The value of the output by minerals
In 1936: gold, $18,433,000; silver,
$369,000; copper, $3,720,000; lead,
$99,500; coal, $573,700, and miscel
laneous, including platinum and tin,
$398,800. The gold output in 1935
was valued at $15,940,000.
UNIVERSITY GRADUATES
THREE SETS OF TWINS
Boulder, Col (UP). Three sets of
twins were among the graduates at
the University of Colorado this year.
They were: Elizabeth and Mar
garet Gather, of Cheyenne, Wyo.;
Jean and Jane Martin, of Denver, and
Dorothy Mae and Dorrie Fae Gar

France Sends Invitations to 1938
Strasbourg Celebration Es
tablished in 153S.
By FETER C. RHODES
United Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, July 2 (UP). Tiie Diver
sity of Strasoourg is preparing to
celebrate its 4 00th anniversary and
has sent invitations to leading uni
versity heads throughout the world
to attend the celebrations early in
1938, the Ministry of Education has
announced here.
Strasbourg University was estab
lished as a "gymnase" or German
model high school in 153S, and was
headed at its opening by the cele
brated humanist, Jacob Sturm. Al
though records of early years do not
exist, it is highly probable that John
Calvin, one of the leaders of the Re
formation, collaborated with Sturm
in the early development of the
school. Calvin lived in Strasbourg
from 153S to 1541.
Developing into an academy with
in 30 years the original gymnase had
become a full fledged university by
1621, with four faculties or colleges.
The university lias been called "a
daughter of the Reformation," al
though almost from the start it has
included a faculty of Catholic Theo
logy which still is active.
The university achieved the dis
tinction, which it still holds, of hous
ing both a Faculty of Catholic and
Protestant Theology. It is perhaps
the only university in the world
where men are trained equally for
the priesthood and the ministry.
Strasbourg University is the only
French university where Theology
remains in the curriculum, Marshal
Joffre having given a solemn promise
to this effect when PYench troops re
occupied the "lost province after the
war. As a result of the French
promise to respect the customs and
traditions of the province the union
of church and state still persists in
Alsace.
Louis Pasteur, world famous sci
entist, was perhaps the best known
among the famous professors who
have held chairs at Strasbourg. It
was while holding the chair of chem
istry there that Pasteur won recog
nition, after his discovery of iso
thermlsm. It was In there that Pas
teur carried out many of the experl-epoch-maklng
work.
VACATIONING IN WEST
From Saturday's Daily
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Soennichsen
and daughter, Mary Pillis, are leav
ing Sunday for 'a two week vacation.
They plan to visit the Yellowstone
National park.
Alvo News
Russell Bornemeier
spent Sunday with his
of Lincoln
parents and
brother.
Ellis Mickle was unfortunate last
Friday to the extent of losing a very
nice milk cow with bloat.
Large crowds have been attending
the free shows given by the Alvo
business people on Saturday evenings.
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Bright of Lin
coln were Sunday guests at the home
of Mrs. Bright's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. August Johnson.
The Busy Knot Tiers held their
fourth meeting in the church base
ment Tuesday evening. The boys are
very busy tying knots.
Marion Kellogg and Emmett Friend

hoppers in this trap.
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Hutchinson
and Francis, Mr. and Mrs. Ellis
Hutchinson, all of Cedar Hills and
relatives from western Iowa, and Mr.

The wheat, harvested with grain
binders is very nearly all in the shock
in this part of the county, while
those harvesting with combines are
just beginning. Many believe the hot
winds two weeks ago did consider
able damage to the grain crops.
Mr. S. C. Boyles' wheat field be
tween the railroad and school house
caught fire from the right-of-way-but
was soon extinguished because of
the fire burning toward a low place
where the wheat was quite green and
was soon put out. 'Hie fire crew
turned out to help.

man on the entertaining committee.
It is hoped that all the ladies will
be able to attend as the society is
about to close the reports for this
year and hope a good report can be
given. So far the attendance has
been very good.

TEXAS ORDERS GAS 0D0R-
IZED AS A SAFETY AID
Austin, Tex. (UP). Recurrence of
disasters liek the explosion at the
New London public school on March
18, will be guarded against in orders
for gas odorization drafted by the
Texas Railroad Commission's gas
utilities division.
Except for a sour gas in the Texas
Tanhandle used chiefly for manufac
turing carbon black, Texas natural
gas is odorless. It can accumulate in
large quantities without detection,
until a spark explodes it.
By Aug. 1, the commission expects
to have a malodorant in every gas
supply. Concerns will be permitted
to submit their own type for ap
proval. It must be harmless, neither
toxic nor nauseating. It must be non
corrosive for steel, iron, bronze, brass
or leather, and must be insoluble in
water. It must also be of such con
stituents that it will be retained in
the gas for a long period. Upon burn
ing, all odor must be destroyed.
There are numerous malodorants
that will meet the requirements, of
ficials said.
STRANGE NAMES LISTED
ON OLD INDIAN BALLOT
Pierre, S. D. (UP). The strange
facts of an election conducted on
the Sisseton Indian reservation have
been revealed in a search of old re
cords here.
Interest in the election of 1SS7, it
was found, centered on the legisla
tive contest.
The victor, chosen from a field of
able candidates, was Man-Who-Makes-Sneak-on-Public
- Institutions.
Apparently, his election was inspired
by the implication of his name that
he could do the most good for his
constituents. His opponents may have
been equally well qualified, but their
names were less appealing. They
were Old-Man-Who-Cusses - Without
Principle and Young-Man-With-IIigh
Up-Ambitions.
Old-Necessity was victorious in the
race for justice of peace over Man-Afraid-of-Two-Deuces
and Young
Ma n-Who-Got-Th i rt y-Days.
Young - Man - Who - Always - Gets
Licked emerged the victor in a race
for election as constable.
PLAN 'CASH BASIS' COUNTY
Gering, Neb. Scottsbluff county
commissioners completed plans Wed
nesday to put the county on a cash
basis immediately and to retire all
outstanding bond issues by July 1,
1942.
They called a special election for
August 3 to decide if the county shall
issue $S5,000 in bonds to pay olT war
rants against) the general fund' total
ing $54,557.16 with interest. The
election also will decide whether or
not bonds shall be issued to pay a
judgment of $20,351.90. awarded
Harry K. Wheeler, trustee for several
Omaha printing firms and other on-
cerns holding warrants against the
county. The judgment was granted
Wednesday by District Judge George
Irwin.
The regular bond levy of 2.4 mills
will not have to be raised to retire all
bonds by 1942, Leonard Harrison,
county clerk said. Of the original is
sues which totaled $63S,000, only
$101,000 remains outstanding.
LOUISIANA BUILDS FENCE
2C0 MILES ALONG TEXAS
New Orleans. (UP). Louisiana has
built a fence to keep the neighbors'
cattle out. The fence is 200 miles
long.
From Logausport, on the Texas
border and 40 miles south of Shreve
port, the barbed wire barrier extends
deep into the marshlands of south
ern Calcastieu Parish to prevent tick
infested Texas cattle from wading the
Sabine river when it is low in sum
mer. Dr. E. I'. Flower, secretary of the
Louisiana Livestock Sanitary Board,
said dipping was in progress on the
Texas side of the fence to stamp out
the fever- tick. But. he added, the
ticks probably won't be eradicated
for another two years and the fence
was built to protect Louisiana live
stock. PROJECT REMAINS CLOSED
Washington. Representative
Charles McLaughlin, said the works

advised him a recreational project in
Omaha will remain closed tempor
arily but that an investigator will
determine if and when it should re
open. McLaughlin's assistants also dis

Nebraska Girl
Rises Swiftly as
a Track Star
Leota Jung- Is Sprinter, Also High
and Broad Jumper Attends
Peru Teachers College.
By JOSEPH W. MILLER
United Press Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Neb. (UP), A Nebraska
farm girl may succeed Babe Didrik
son and Helen Stephens as a star in
women's track and field if she con
tinues to improve.
Her name is Leota Jung. She is
20 years old, about 5 feet 7 inches
tall and weighs 130 pounds. With
little coaching, she has cleared 4 feet,
10 inches in the high jump, leaped
15 feet, 2 V inches in the broad
jump and has clipped off 120 yards in
15.4 seconds considered praise
worthy performances.
Miss Jung completed her high
school course in 1934 at Malcolm, a
village of 125 population in Lan
caster county. She entered Peru State
Teachers College last fall.
Coaching Only Started
There she came under the eye of
Glenn Gilkesou, athletic director,
and Miss Phyllis Davidson, director
of physical education for women and
for the first time the girl athlete has
begun to take track and field ser
iously. Gilkeson arranged a training pro
gram but training is no problem for
her. She high jumped '4 feet, 10
inches in the college gymnasium with
tennis shoes and did 4 feet, S in an
exhibition at the M-I-N-K high school
track meet at Peru this spring.
"When a girl jumps like that, I
don't see any need for changing her
style in the least," Gilkeson observed.
Talents Are Versatile
Miss Jung is a versatile competitor.
She is a crack softball player and has
shown talent in basketball and vol
leyball. Her high school athletic career
reached its climax with the Lancas
ter county activities association meet
in 1934 when she high jumped '4
feet. 9 ?4 inches, rated a world's high
school record by the association, and
ran the dash and broad jumped as
noted previously. No application ever
was made for recognition of the feat.
Miss Jung, who is of German ex
traction, is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Omar Jung of Garland, Neb.
