Northwestern College Men
Save Many From Drowning
Chicago. Aug. 19.—Mora than 3,000
lives have been saved by students of
Northwestern university in the last
10 years as the result of swimming
and lifesaving instruction, according
to an estimate given out by Coach
Tonf Robinson. Fifty members of the
university’s life-saving classes made
more than 500 rescues last summer.
roach Robinson declared. Most of
these took place in the Great Rakes
region. ,
Ninety pet cent of last summer's
rescues were made within 20 yards
of the shore, and in most cases only'
it few yards were separating the
drowning persons from shallow water.
Very few of those rescued were col
lege people, because moA colleges and
universities require students to be
able to swim at least 25 yards before
being graduated, the coach said.
One student’s feat was especially
noteworthy. He dived to an auto
mobile covered by six feet of water
and rescued a boy who had been se
curely caught. __

The Young Chuck Scares and la
Scared.
When the young Chuck looked out
from the bushes at the head of the
Long I.ane over to Farmer Brown's
barnyard and saw' the hens running
about there. tiieS' had not looked so
very big. That is because they were
so far away. But when, having,
against Old Mr. Toads advice, ven
tured up to that barnyard, the^nung
t’huck poked his head out of the long
grass he was quite unprepared for the
size of those birds. You see, they
were Just birds to him, not hens. He
knew nothing about liens.
Jt happened that he poked his head
out of the grass right in front of
a hen, and not more than a foot from
her. Biddy was startled. She was
more than startled—she was fright
ened." You see, she didn’t take a good
look at the young Chuck, and she
mistook him for some one else. She
mistook him for Robber the Rat. She
gave a frightened squawk, and ran.
Now hens are sometimes rather
silly. All the other hens right near
began to squawk and run. They didn't
know what they were squawking for,
• nd they didn’t know why they were
running. It was Just because that
first hen had done these things. So
the hens were scared and made a

didn't know what to make of it.
"When he had first seen that hen

>:tu as soon as he saw that she was
afraid of him. he lost all fear. To him
those hens were just great, big fool
ish birds, and so he didn't run lack
into the grass to get out of their
sight. Instead, he began to move
toward them.
Those silly hens crowded together
and began to make a great racket. If
Hther tickled the young Chuck and
made him feel very big. It would
give him something to boast about.
He longed to tell his brothers and
sisters how he had made these great
birds afraid of him. He wanted to
frighten them some more, and so
ne k*pt on toward them.
And then from around the corner
"f the liam came a bird bigger than

hut he didn't run away. No, sir, no
I didn't. He tin straight toward that
young Chuck! Of course, you know,
who it was. It was Farmei Brown's

He was as badly scared as the hens
had been. After him ran that big

The young Chuck ran straight for

dark in there, and he wanted to pet

at his heels, and he didn't get under
that barn any too soon. My, such
