'Showing Off' Is Blamed for Drowning Accidents

Mr Alphin and McCusan, who is a field representative of the life saving profession, were interviewed by Professor Eldwin F Elabell on the subject of life saving.
"A strong corsack kick with the legs is the one factor that helps some persons to be life savers," said Mr. Allphm. He attributed poor health and malnutrition to the reasons for many individuals having difficulty in learning life saving.
Eight Hour Rescue Made
Mr McCue considered the successful rescue of 13,000 volts of electricity as his most interesting rescue experiment. He worked more than eight hours on the injured man before he resurried natural resources.
"In 1914 there were over 10,000 drowning's," he stated, "but in 1930 this fatality list had been cut to 7,200. This was because of the Red Cross in the life saving field."
Mr. McCue made the statement that commercial swimming pools survived a 1973 fire and priced last summer and the volume of business was greater than that reported for 1930. In explaining the purpose of the fire, Mr. McCue explained in ducting in Lawrence at the present time, Mr. McCue said that the development of leadership through training and experience
He said that the candidates must qualify in practical work and must show ability to teach the fundamental stroke and life saving technique.
Qualifications Given

The later interview will be with Northwest High School, Kansas City Mo., and Harley Selvidge, of Pace High School, on Feb. 20.

Mob Mutters Threats Against Dole Supervisor
Born as lowly as the Son of God, reared in penny and squalor, with no gleam of light nor fair surroundings, it was reserved for this strange being, late in life, without name or fame, or seeming preparation, to be snatched from obscurity, raised to supreme command at a supreme moment, and intrusted with the destiny of a nation. Where did Shakespeare get his genius? Where did Mozart get his music? Whose hand smote the lyre of the Scottish plowman? God, alone; and as surely as these were raised by God, inspired of God, was Abraham Lincoln, and a thousand years hence no story, no tragedy, no epic poem will be filled with greater wonder than that which tells of his life and death. If Lincoln were not inspired of God, then there is no such thing on earth as special providence or the interposition of divine powers in the affairs of men.

E. H. Roper appointed by the supreme court to near and submit findings, sitting on the case.

Better Home Training Aid
Dr. Sherwold was asked what in his opinion was the reason that the fraternity average was higher than that for non-fraternity men.

Misa Agnes Husband, dean of women, was the next witness called to the stand by the defense. She was interrupted as she listened to rules concerning authorized rooming houses, authorized parties, quiet hours, and general facilities of houses other than theirs.

Mr. Gorrell then asked Dean Lawson, "Assuming that fraternity scholarship rankings rank higher than your own rankings, state from your experience, what in your opinion is the reason for this?"
Dean Lawson replied, "I cannot give one reason. There are a variety of reasons but, I believe that since fraternity men come from homes of fraternity men come from homes of fraternity men they have greater opportunity at home and also at college."
When asked for further reasons, Dean Lawson said that fraternitys *do unfortunate things* to freshmen in order that the men will be initiated and that perhaps non-fraternity men had more outside work because of their expited out, was merely a personal opinion.
Mr. Gorrill then asked Dean Lawson just what the figures used in scholarship rankings met. When told Mr. Lawson that he was 180 and 1.58 was very insignificant, Dean Lawson said that it was not in an individual case but when considered as a "normal person," he was
