'y the inducted men will be given

required to resume payments.
Some of these debts will carry a

While the talk in Congress has
largely been centered on conBscription
and preparedness taxes,
the lawmakers have devoted some
time to other matters. It seems
that the Senate Labor Com. is
just going through the motions
of considering the amendments
to to the National Labor Relations
Board, which were overwhelminges
ly passed by the House several
weeks ago. The story is told that
it is a parliamentary gesture to
er block revision of the controvers;n
ial Labor Board at this time. The
effort to pass the Walter's bill

powers of government agencies
seems destined for defeat at this
e" session.

New York, has introduced a bill
to extend the benefits of the Sofe

Despite the several heavy rainJJ

indicate that the water level

In some of these lakes the water
stage was eight or ten feet below
normal before the rains
came.
These lakes have neither outlets
or inlets and their banks are
almost as porous as the sands
on the ocean beaches; the springs
in their bottoms and the rain
that falls directly on their surface
are the only source of supply.

day in his attempt to swim Lake

but on account of his trainer being
detained in Southport, he was
unable to start until 6:30.
It required 2 hours and 46 minutes
to make the swim which for
a youngster is considered excellent
time. He swam the Trudgeon
crawl the whole way and at no
time during the swim did he appear
tired. A light breeze sprung
up when he was about half way

ties of the swim, this breeze
I causing small waves which he
had to swim directly against. At
I the finish he appeared in good
condition and according to Lee
Greer, his trainer, could have
swam another mile or so.
Crowell has been in training
for three weeks and was in the
best of condition for the swim.
He is the youngest swimmer to
ever make the five mile swim,
and his time was better than
some of the older boys who have
made the swim.
