BEAUTY GIVEN BY SWIMMING New Course Designed to Interest Women and Girls The swimming and life saving campaign to be held here by the Red Cross from July 6 to 12 should be of more than usual interest to women and girls, in the opinion of F. C. Van Buren, who is at work upon preparations for the event. “Swimming is one of the finest beauty aids known,” he said today. “The successful performance of the various strokes gives symmetry to the arms and legs and grace and poise to the whole body. The broad strokes and deep breathing develop the chest and lungs. This brings about better circulation, which means clearer skin and brighter eyes.” The over-weight and the under-weight both profit by swimming, according to Mr. Van Buren. That is because the exercise, while it burns up superfluous fat cells for the person who needs to reduce, builds muscle for the thin and undernourished. “In this age of high-pressure living, women will find swimming a great eraser of wrinkles, too,” Mr. Van Buren declared. “One can’t swim and worry. Swimming relaxes tensenerves as well as tense muscles. “Enroll in the Red Cross classes and swim for beauty, is my advice to the feminine population of Ogden.” Those interested may make application at the Weber gymnasium, 550 Twenty-fifth street. CLASS DATED FOR THURSDAY Red Cross First Aid Wo Free; Public Urged To Be Present Not enough people appeared for the Red Cross first aid class Tuesday night to warrant its organization, so another meeting will be held Thursday night to give persons who wish to take the work another opportunity.

The meeting will be held at seven-thirty p.m. in room 10 of the city hall. Miss Helen Shaw will be in charge as instructor. The class will be free. The instruction will consist of first aid methods of treating injured persons, equipping those who complete the courses with sufficient training to render valuable aid in emergencies. Organization of a first aid class for student nurses at the Dee hospital will take place at a meeting tonight at seven-thirty, with Dr. R. L. Draper and Mrs. L. R. Packer in charge.
