The Old Swimming Hole
(Dudley Glass, in Atlanta Georgian)
Swimming getms to have herome
the f avorite amusement of every
body we know. Instead ot a dime
for the neighborhood movie, the
kids want a quarter for the swim
mng pool foe. The grls take a
awim before breakfast, another in
the cool of the afternoon and fre
quently a third when the party
breaks up and the gang looks on
going home as something to be done
when nobdy can think of anything
more interesting.
When we were a youngster swim
ming was almost a sin, which was
perhaps the reason we enjoyed it so
much. The snake-infested pond of
the deserted mill, the deep hole in
the creek where it curved beneath
the willows, even the stagnant pond
knee deep in oozy black mud—any
of these were fine. Our bathing
suits were the ones w*e were born in.
The summr sun served as a towel.
The big boys were our swimming
teachers and the standard system of
instruction was to drag the shiver
ing and protesting pupil into deep
water and let him go. It was swim
or else. And he always swam.
Naturally, it was a masculine a
musemeilt. Girls were girls and
shrank from rude amusements in
volving Besides, there
was no place for them to swim. We
do remember one incident at a
mountain resort when our gang ap
proached a secluded swimming hole
in the creek and found it occupied
by those dadblamed girls.
Bathng suits being unknown ex
cept at beach resorts, where one
rented them, the young ladies wore
the Mother Hubbards of the period
or, brazen hussies, their undergar
ments. They wore enough under
clothes then to sink Gertrude Ed
orle. But they didn’t go out “over
their heads,” so that didn’t matter.
Of course, when these water
nymphs discovered our arrival on
the bank they modestly remained
under water except for their heads.
The water was cold. And when we
announced our intention of remain
ing all the afternoon the situation
became tense. At last one of the
biggest grils, whose two brothers
were in our party, declared her in
tention of coming right out of
there, boys or no boys, we retired
hastily, lest she makes good her
bluff. We’d probably have been
more embarrassed than the girls.
The girl who could swim in those
days was as rare as a three-legged
calf. The only time a girl ever
"went in” was at the seashore and
only the rich men’s daughters ever
got that far away from home. The
surf on a beach is fine for splashing
about, but a poor place for swim
ming, and the heavy woolen bath
ing suits, with long skirts and stock
ings would had drowned a shark if
he’d got over his depth in such an
outfit.
Nowadays it’s the girls who fill
the lakes and pools. In the parks or
at the clubs, three-fourths of the
swimmers are women. Their swim
suits are lighter every season and
cover less territory, which is good
for them and the public in general.
Man has learned to consider legs
as he does eyes and noses. Some are
more beautiful than others, and
that’s all. Which is perhaps the
reason even Flo Ziegfeld’s show
flopped this season.
So swimming, once the exclusive
sport of the seashore resorts, has
reached every inland city and most
of the small towns. Atlanta possi-
bly possesses as many acres of avail
able water as any other city of its
size which has no natural lake.
There are pools in the clubs and
parks, public pools conducted by
private interests, pools on the coun
try estates, where the owner enter
tains his friends. Swimmers, like
golfers, like a change. They flit
from pool to pool and the one which
is crowded today may be almost de
serted tomorrow.
And it’s fine! We decline to join
the old folks in the corner who
weep over the modern generation.
The girls are stronger, healthier
and, in our opinion, far better look
ing than when we sought the swim
ming hole and they stayed at home
and did fancy work. The swim
ming pool is doing for the women
what the golf course has done for
the men.
Beginning business about two
months ago with the hope of sell
ing perhaps two or three thousand
summer suits of clothes to men by
mail, a firm in Summerville, Ga., has
built up one of the largest direct
to-the-wearer mail order businesses
in the South, approximately 50,000
suits having already been sold. Ex
tra clerks are required in the post
office, and day and night forces are
packing and preparing the suits for
shipment. ,
Where To Look In The
Bible
When "things look blue,” read
Isaiah, chapter 40.
When tempted to do wrong, read
the 139th Psalm.
If you are facing a crisis, read
the 46th Psalm.

over Psalm 23.

103 and 104, or Job, chapters 38—
40.

read over Psalm 27.

To live successfully with your
fellow-men, follow Romans, chapter
12.
If you are sick or in pain, read

39.
When everything seems to be go
ing from bad to worse, try II Tim
othy 3.
The best investment is described
in St. Matthew’s Gospel, chapter 6.
Docs God figure in our national
life? Read Deut. 8.
When your friends seek to go
back on you, hold fast to I Corin

For an inward peace, consider
the 14th chapter of St. John’s Gos
pel.
Have you been placed in a posi
tion of great responsibility? Read
Joshua chapter 1.
If you have been bereaved, there
is a message for you in 1 Corin
thians 15, and Revelation 21.
For a stirring record of what
trust in God can do, turn to the
11th chapter of Hebrews.
If you are satisfied with being
“well-to-do,” read chapters 15 and
16 of St. Luke’s Gospel.
If you have experienced severe
losses, read the last paragraphs of
chapter 8 of Romans.
If you are having to put up a stiff
fight, there is a fine equipment list
ed at the end of Ephesians.
When you have sinned, read I
John 1, St. John 3:1-21, Isaiah 52

300-ACRE farm devoted
T 6 RAISING OF FLIES FOR
GEORGIA FISHERMAN
Bean, Ga.—A 300-acre farm just
to produce flies is being developed
in this eastern Georgia community.
But they’re July flies, the kind
the game fish like, and the develop
er J. M. Moseley, is selling them to
fishermen. The farm, abandoned to
dog fennel and weeds, is an insects’
paradise and Moseley leased it as a
fish bait cafeteria. ,
The fly-catching business, Mose
ley says, is pretty good these days,
but if it fails he still has some lusci
ous grasshoppers and June bugs on
hand. \
Four things a man must learn to do
If he would keep his record true:
To think, without confusion, clear
ly.
To love his fellowman sincerely;
To act from honest motives purely;
To trust in God and Heavens se
curely.”

THE BEST Oi •' *BY
THE hst kind or ;by is the baby

Kind of baby?
If more mothers knew that ba
-1 ies are almost literally what they
eat (and what their mothers eat)
there would be fewer sick babies.
The importance of the right kind
of food cannot be over-estimated,
and the right kind of food, for
both baby and mother, must con
tain plenty of vitamins.
What Every Mother Knows
Every modern mother knows
how necessary sieved vegetables
are to supplement milk in the
diet of babies. If there be any
mother who doubts this, she need
only ask her doctor. Such an
eminent authority on babies, for
example, as Dr. William McKim
Marriott, 8.5., M.D., states that
beginning with the fifth or sixth
month the breast-fed infant
should be given once a day a
purde of spinach, carrots or mixed
vegetables in amounts of one to
two tablespoonfuls.
Mary Swartz Rose, Ph.D., sug
gests a tablespoonful of sifted
spinach and carrot pulp for breast
fed babies at seven months. And,
since these suggestions have been
published, other physicians have
found that sieved vegetables are
tolerated Iby infants at two
months or even younger.

vegetables in the home kitchen is
a long, tedious and wasteful job.
A greater quantity of vegetable
than is necessary is purchased
and prepared. When brought
home from the market, that part
of the vegetable which is not good
must be thrown away, and this
may amount to 10 or 20 per cent,
of the vegetable bought. Or, per
haps the quantity prepared at
once will not keep, and the mother
decides later not to use it again.
What Every Mother Doesn’t
Know
What every mother doesn’t
know is that home preparation
usually destroys a good part of
the important vitamins, and that
she can now get sieved vegetables
in cans scientifically prepared so
that they retain more vitamins
than those prepared at home.
With these sieved vegetables
there is no picking over, no
throwing away, no long cooking,
no mashing, no sieving, no strain
ing. They come all ready to
warm and serve, and are of a con
sistency suitable for infant diges
tions.
The best brands of these con
venient baby foods have been en
dorsed by the Committee on
Foods of the American Medical
Association, and are allowed to
use its seal of acceptance on their
cans. This means thatjthe scien
tists of the American Medical
Association have independently
checked every step of their pro
cessing.
However, every producer of
these foods will tell you that no
mother should think of feeding
her baby anything which was not
recommended by her own physi
cian who prescribes his diet. So
be sure, before including any of
these new purged foods in your
baby’s diet, to ask your doctor
about quantities and his advice
about using them.
With Scientific Care
Some of these sieved vegetables
are seasoned, and some are not.
One brand, which is put up in
sanitary enamel lined cans, car
ries on its label a guarantee of the
exact amounts of vitamins A, B
and C which its sieved vegetables
contain. And the proof that this
guarantee is absolutely depend
able and means exactly what it
says lies in the fact that this is
one of the brands which has been
accepted by the Committee on
Foods of the American Medical
Association, and is allowed to use
its seal of acceptance on the cans.
Biological assays of the finished
products of this brand made by
Dr. Walter H. Eddy of Teachers
College, Columbia University,
have determined not only the
exact vitamin potency of each, but
also that each provides a gener
ous supply of proteins, calories
and mineral salts.
Safer and More Sanitary
These sieved vegetables ot
various brands offered to mothers
not merely to save them time,
trouble and expense, but to pro
vide them with a better, safer an ■
more sanitary product than they
can make at home, now include
spinach, carrots, green beans, to
matoes, green peas, prunes, vege
table soup and purges of mixe°
vegetables.*
