11 was in Ontario that the practice of putting on
gravel or crushed atone in thin layers was first
proven to be more economical as well as more
safe to traffic. "Feeding the road" it is called.
The practice has spread beyond Canada and now
is followed in many of the United States.
Ontario Highway Department engineers devel-
oped the asphaltic nixed maeadam which is a
hot asphalt mixed with gravel or crushed stone.

"Mother, may I go out to swim?
Yes, my' darling daughter.
Hang your clothes. on a hickory Limb
But, don't go near the watery
The above ditty is very familial• to
the present mothers and groindnioth-
ers of growing daughters and, what-
ever may be the attitude of present
day mothers, .the above portrayed
very accurately the attitude of the av-
erage Canadian mother in the eighties
and early nineties, It was not sup-
posed that girls ought to learn to
swim, I well remember a girl a few
years older than myself who was
termed a "regular tomboy" because
she dunned an old print dress and
learned to swim'in -her father's milk
race. I can remember with what
ex-
quisite thrills of delight and I n „ing
I watched her strong, litho young
body boldly make the length of that
mill race, her old print dress swish-
ing about her bare legs. How I wish-
ed I might also learn to swim. But
no. It was' not allowed, only such a
tomboy' as S--- would want to learn
such a boy's sliort as swimming, Be-
sides the mill race was deep, one
might easily drown. Sometimes I've
been a bitsorryI was such an obed-
ient child, for . I have always been
sorry that I couldn't swim. And even
if I had been drowned in the old znbbl
race—? •
Times have changed a good deal in
the last thirty-five years, however,
and naWadays girls learn to swim just
as readily' and as quickly as boys.
And, in this country, full of lakes and
streams„I think it is the duty of par -
eats to see that their ,children leatn
to swim„ early, before they begin to
'be afraid of the water.
"But” wails the timid mother, "I'm
so afraid they will get drowned. I
can't bear: to have my children do any
inure than wade." I can see the dan-
ger, and often there is cause for fear.
But. very few young people in Can-
ada are going to get through their
lives without coming in contact with
danger from drowning and one of the
ways to prevent accident is to fam-
iliarize every child with the water. Get
them so accustomed to it that instin
tively, if :upset -front a canoe or boat,
they will commence to swim and thus
keep themselves afloat until rescued,
.Many a drowning accident might be
avoided if everyone -waw familiar en-
ough with the water to know what to
do when thrown into it suddenly.
"But, the very familiarity often
breeds foolhardiness," some one ob-
jects. "You often hear of the drown-
i
- ing of a good swimmer." ; Sometimes
this happens. But usually it is caused,
by cramps or some untoward accident.
But the way to guard, against fool=
hardiness, to which youth is as prone
as "the sparks to fly upward," is for
the parent or guardian to superintend
the swimming lessons of the child,
Begin early, teach the child the dam
ger of the water as well 'as the ineth
ods of mastering it. Teach . it the
foolishness of taking unnecessary
risks and show it that you are desir-
ous that it should learn the art -of car-
ing for' itself in water, In this way
you win the confidence of the child
and your lesson will sink in. If your
boy or girl grows to gfiite a size -with-
out learning this useful accomplish-
ment he or she may learn, it under less
favorable auspices, map never learn
it so thoroughly and certainly .not un-
der such careful and loving supervis-
ion as if under your own eyes.
I do not wish to give the impressioi}
that the dangers which parents fear
with regard to water sports do not ex-
ist, I: can see them as plain as a pike-
staff every'. time I see people in the
water. This is the very reason I ad-
vocate the `teaching .of swimming. It
is usually the young person who was
forbidden to go -into the'water in early
youth who is the mostventuresome
later on. Teach caution early,• with
the art of swimming, andthe lessons
will not be forgotten.
Here are a few seasonable cautious,
for those looking forward to 'water-
side holidays; .
1. Don't bathe within two hours
after a heavy meal.
2. Don't go into water deeper
than your hips if you can't swim.
3. Don't dive into water of which
you do not know the depth.
4. Don't take -a prolonged swim
when fatigued.
5. Don't bathe alone, or in un-
frequented places if ,subject to faint-
ness.
0. Don't dive from a boat in high
wind or`strong. current. You may not
be able to overtake the boat.
7.' Don't get into a panie if you get
a cramp. Cramps are more painful
than dangerous. Swim ashore with
the unaffected limb.
8. Swilii down stream if in weeds.
Among water lilies do not swine at all
but turn on your back and paddle
gently with your hands.
0. If in difficulties do not clutch
the person who approaches you.,
Keep cool and do what he tells you.
