These objections are eliminated under the "performance" rules, the regulations that will govern the races this year. Handicaps are determined by the actual performance of the boat made- at a trial run over the' course just before the race. Every boat has an equal chance to win one of the handsome prises to be awarded. There will be classes for cruisers and open boats of varying lengths,: sail boats, etc., and prises will be : awarded to the winners in each class. We rineerely trust that you win ' give your assistance in making this event a success. Information as to the conditions governing the race may be had from the members of the , Regatta Committee or from the undersigned. If you intend to enter your boat, please advise at once. Boats participating should report at the club house at tl a. m., on August 28, to make their trial runs over the course secure racing numbers and copy of rules. ' Yours very truly, HOWARD DENN, Secretary. secretary.

Boaters and Swimmers « It is a little late in the seasdh but », 1 a little advice from one who knows jj ; better late than never. Because of carelessness, or lack of u of how to swim or direct B '■ ; a canoe or boat properly often results 1 ! disastrously and too frequently fatali ly, the following list of "Don Is" has prepares! by an expert for canoe- ^ I and swimmers. First of ail ilon't try to swim across " I I the ocean, it can't be done. For Canoeists — Oont try canoeing , | without some instructions in paddlfng. s, Don't stand up or change seats un- ^ j prepared to swim. Many deaths | result in this way. Don't try to frighten a companion w 1 1 by rocking the canoe. It is danger- n and has caused many deaths. u For swimmers — Don't swim on a full stomach. Wait at least two hours n I after eating before going into the ' j water. Don't swim if overheated. . w Don't swim if exhausted. ■ Don't swim if you have heart .. ' trouble. Don't dive without accurate knowl- ji • edge of the depth of the" Water. ^ I Don't struggle if caught in a swift T ' ; current .or umlertow. The force of ■ j the current will bring you to the : surface. — Don't wade into the water with * . arms above the head. You will not be ' . prepared to strike out if you should * , step into a deep hole. a; Don't lean backward when wailing into the water. Always be ready to. fall forward. Don't fight or struggle to swim if / ) you swallow water. Clear the wind | pipe of water first 1 Don't fail to learn life-saving and t rescusdatlon methods. Be capable of saving yourself and your companion. Don't cry for help in fun. You may sometime need Help and not get Don't go in swimming alone. And above all, if in the water at » the shore, heeil the warnings of the I' guards. They are more acquainted 1 with the ways of the tricky deean.

It , require* no immagiuulinn to appre- , ciate. what this means by the way of | and slowing down the Pos- ( tal Service. Great armies of postal i clerks, who might otherwise Tie en- | gaged in facilitating the general ser- • rice, are thus tied down to the prob- c of rectifying the mistakes an<i ( supplying the ommissions that are chargeable to careless correspon- i dents.- We Americans sort of take r Postal Service for granted. .We ' like steers when one letter out I of the millions handled daily goes , 1 astray or is delayed a few hours; yet are so neglectful of our own re- ' sponsibilities in this connection that pile thousands of pieces of mis- 1 directed mail into the post office and ' expect that the postal machinery can and must in some way Surmount our ' own negligence. \ The New York situation is merely j typical at the situation in every "other city in the land. Take Grand ^ Rapids, for example. Post-master says that, as nearly as ' can be estimated, the local post office handles 5,000 pieces of misdirected . mail every 24 hours; and, in addition ^ thereto, about 20,000 piece* of mail " are received without *treet addresses. It requires the full time of five clerks . in Grand Rapids alone to correct addiAgses on misdirected mail. The mail without complete addresses loss of time to distributors w ho 1 could otherwise have been employed 1 in handling properly the fully ail- ' dressed mail, thereby making it possible in many Instances to give an early delivery. We who constantly • yell for "greater economy" and great- I er efficiency" in the public service well pause and ask ourselves whether it wouldn't be a good thing,a consistent thing, if we took a little more care in making "economy" and "effifiency" in the public service posSome of the more common mistakes, locally observed, in addressing mail are noted as follows: /tddresse* are written hastily and illegibly, of- , ten in lead pencil; pencil addresses become obliterated in the course of handling. Abbreviations in the names "of firms, post offices, and States are confusing and invite trouble; for instance, contemplate the similarity in the abbreviations of "Pa." for Pennsylvania, "La." for Louisiana and" la." . for Iowa: also "Col." for Colorado and "CaL" for California. Unless all the letters in these abbreviations are . written very plane! y, there is danger | of mistakes. Street addresses are of- ^ omitted (also the regional direc- .» tion — NE., SE., NW„ SW„ on city mail); and obsolete mailing lists are the bane of postal existence. All things considered, it is really a wonder that the post office makes as few mistakes as it does. When one of the 5,000 misdirected pieces of nudl in Grami Rapids daily — and E 350,000 pieces in New Y'ork — and when one iflultipiics an average figure by the number of post offices in the 1 country, it is necessary to confess that the people do not do their whole part in the matter of postal efficiency. If we are going to throw stones muRn't live in glass houses. We all demanding of the Post Office
