TWO women SWIM GOLDEN GATE
WATCHED BY Admitting CROWDS

It is said that Walter Pomeroy Is
the only person besides Miss Meyer
and Mrs. Wright who successfully
swan the Golden Gate during ebb
tide. The other swimmers, including
the holder of the record for time,
started just at the beginning Of flood
tide, when the water has buoyant
tendency and 1t is easy for the swim
mer to keep afloat. Miss Smith, who
swan the channel recently, also did
so during flood tide.
Pomeroy did the long swim during
ebb tide. making the total distance Of
enc and an eighth miles In fifty-nine
minutes, or one and one-half minutes
better time than that of Mrs. Wright
yesterday. The record for speed in
swimming the channel is forty-two
minutes.
VIII Compete for Record.
Mrs. Wright has been popular in
local aquatic circles for a number Of
years and was one of the principal
swimmers IN the race at Oakland last
Fourth Of July. She has also taken
part in a number Of other events and
is known as one of the cleverest anna
teur woman swimmers on the Pacific
Coast.
Her companion in yesterdays race.
Miss Meyer, Is practically unknown
as swimmer, but she has shown skill
in other athletic events. Her previ-
Gus long-distance swim was at Berke-
ley and was only a quarter OF a mile.
On account Of her remarkable endur-
ance she was given an ovation by her
friends yesterday when she completed
her task. Miss Meyer says she ex-
poets to increase her experience and
If she finds her speed increased, she
will compete against Miss Smith for
the women's speed record in crossing
the Golden Gate.
Yesierday's swimming event was
held under the supervision of Captain
Z. Clark Of the Fort Point u. s. Life
Station, but the two women were I'M

HONOLULU SCIENTIST MAKES
some IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES

led to closer observations and the dis
eoyery that they were carrying the
eggs and newly hatched larvae of the
houseflies. The egg or young maggot
was held by one end and elevated
above the head OF the ant while ii
was making its way over the uneven
surface of the manure. II will be
easy to understand why this discov-
cry was not made before when we
recognize that the egg OF the fly is
only about f-25 of an inch In length.
and the newly Matched maggot Only
Slightly larger.
Further observations revealed the
fact that ants destroy larger maggots
of the house-fly In great numbers; in
some cases even when they have
reached full size. The rapid heating
of the manure, or the myriads of
mites, which are to be found in the
manure, irritate the maggots so that
they come to the surface from time
to time. II they appear among the
ants, which are swarming over the
surface, they are at once pounced up
on, and after a rough-and- tumble the
superior numbers OF the ants win the
day and the maggot is dragged off to
their nest.
In one experiment. five fullgrown
maggots were dropped down among
the ants at one time; within twenty
minutes the maggots were conquered
and in ten minutes more were being
drawn into the nests of ants.
The wonderful reproductive ability
of the house-fly. even in cold coun-
tries, where they are killed Off by the
winter, suggests the unthinkable
hordes that would plague US in a
warm country like Fiji. If they were
not held in check
DR.. L. o. Howard. in his volume on
the house-fly, estimates that one fe-a
male fly that escapes the winter. lay
Ing 40 eggs in April, would result in
5 ,59S, 100, 000, 900 adult flies by Sep
TENDER 10. II conditions were perfect
for reproduction The number Is I'M
thfnkable, much less can we imagine
what the increase would be In a trop-
ical country where breeding goes on
ell the year round.
The Indications are that the little
brown ants are the principal factor in
the destruction Of the great majority
Of house-flies in warm countries.

SAN FRANCISCO.-Defy the
dangerous currents of ebb tide, Mrs.
Myrtle Wright and Miss Dollie Meyer
yesterday afternoon, in sight of hum
dreds of spectators, swan the Golden
Gate from Fort Point to Lime Point,
on the opposite shore in Marin county.
It was the first time in history that
woman had successfully navigated the
treacherous currents with the tide at
ebb.
Mrs. Wright, the older of tho two
women, apparently had no difficulty in
negotiating the distance travelled, but
Miss Meyer, who is only 20 years
o,d, had steady battle with the tide
and waves. She reached the shore al
most exhausted
The swimming event was held UNI
der the auspices Of the California
swimming and Life Saving Club, OF
which both women are members. Miss
Nellie Smith, who holds the record
for swimming the Gate, refused to
participate in yesterdays swim be-
cause Mrs Wright and Miss Meyer
are amateurs.
Mrs. Wright completed the siren
ucus ordeal in / hour and 81 seconds,
but her companion was not so for
tunate, and was in the water a trifie
more than hour and rs minutes. Mrs.
Wright made the swim almost in a
direct line, while Miss Meyer was
FORCED to vary her course, on account
of her brief experience with open wa
ter swimming. 1t is estimated that
she swan about one and half miles
IN travelling between the points. Mrs.
Wright covered it in about one. and
one-eighth miles.
Both Start Together.
The start was made simultaneously
at 12:24:54 from the rocks below the
breakwater at Fort Point The bay
was rough, but when the tide began
to come in more steadily, the women
found the going more easy until the
center of the strait was reached, and
the more difficult currents encounter
ed. Neither swimmer was, however,
in danger at any time.
Though Mrs. Wright is an exper-
fenced swimmer and well known for
her cleEerness in the water her friends
and fellow club members expressed
fear when the start was made. Conf
dent of her success, Mrs. Wright pre-
6icted making the swim in an hour.
It took her half a minute longer than
she predicted.
The friends of Miss Meyer urged
the young woman not to make the dan
serous attempt, but she could not be
Much fear was felt for
her on account of her unfamiliarity
with open water swimming In the
middle of the long swim Miss Meyer
faltered and seemed about to give up,
but then apparently regained her
strength, and urged on by encourage
ment from friends who surrounded the
pair in boats and launches, she never

Mrs. Wright used the "tantalizerY

AVOID THE CHEAP AND "BIG
CAN" BAKING POWDERS

The cheap baking powders have
but one recommendation; they GER
tainlN give the purchaser plenty of
powder for his money, but it's not
all baking POWDER; the bulk is
made up of cheap materials that
have no leaNening power. These
powders are so carelessly made
from inferior materials that they
will not always make light, whole
some food. Further, these cheap
baking powders have a very small
percentage of leavening gas; there
fore it takes from two to three
times as much of such powder to
raise the cake or biscuit as it does
OF Calumet Baking Powder. There
fore, in the long run, the actual
cost to the consumer of the cheap
powder is more than Calumet would
be. Cheap baking powders leave
the bread sometimes bleach,ed and
acid, sometimes yellow and aka
line, and often unpalatable. They
are never of uniform strength and
quality. Why not buy a perfectly
wholesome baking powder like Calu
met, that is at the same time mod
crate in price and one which can
be relied upon. Calumet is always
the same, keeps indefinitely and
gives the cook the least trouble. Re-
