rrY AM going to swim the Channel
in order to demonstrate that
- woman is the physical equal
Il man. l am going to put stop
ever to all this twaddle about the
Haiier sex. Yes, l am firm be-
eve. in Woman Suffrage"
SO declares Miss Lily Smith, who
is known up and down England as
Great Britain, and who is frequently
referred to as the English Water
Lily" You may pick up your morn
ing paper on any one of the remain
ing days of this month to read a
London dispatch telling of Miss
Smiths success in swimming across
from Dover to Calais, for she intends
to try it before the first November
morn makes It's appearance.
Miss Smith is a suffragette, yet
does not advocate the throwing of
hatchets at prime ministers or the
smashing in of plate-glass windows
In order to get the vote. Other
, women may pursue the militant
course, even her two athletic sisters,
If they wish, but by demonstrating
that the sexes are physically equal
intellectual equality she takes for
sgranted-she expects to be of better
lservice toward winning the franchise
for her sex.
The distance between Dover and
Calais As twenty-eight miles, and
were it a question of distance alone
Miss Smiths task would be an easy
one, but the Channel waters are
treacherous, embracing as they do
many currents and counter currents.
Only two human beings have sue
yceeded in swimming across this bit
OF water that has made the history
OF England what it is, the first person
having succeeded having been the
samous American swimmer, Captain
Webb. He did so in 1875 just a few
years before he lost his life in an
attempt to swim the Niagara Rapids.
In 1911, thirty-six years after Cap

UMMER, that added so per cent
to your stock Of vitality that
frightened your eyes and
melted away pounds of superfluous
flesh, that gave your movements
new strength and freedom, has
robbed you, you complain, of the
beauty of your arms. Even the one
who ordinarily sees only perfection
in you has looked with disfavor on
their coarsened brown surface.
You are right. 1t is time to do
something about it, for the brown or
freckled skin that did not look amiss
protruding from short pink or blue
linen sleeves will look quite other
wise against the delicate background
Of your evening gown.
Begin by doing what would have
protected your arms and saved you
much of this modification as to their
present appearance had you but
known. The dipping of the arms
into salt water at the shore has
coarsened the texture of the skin.
This was because you did not take
the precaution of well-informed
houseworkers, who are careful to
preserve their good looks, rubbing
olive oil or mutton tallow freely
into the arms before they are ex-
posed to contact with the water. BY
doing this dish washing is robbed of
its terrors. From this time keep
your arms as moist with oil or tai
low as formerly they were with salt
water. Soon the texture will i'm
prove.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-10-26

The saline air, combined with the
salt water, may have irritated your
skin, which is naturally sensitive. In
that case use no soap, but instead
use handful of oatmeal or of al
mond meal when bathing your arms.
The sensitiveness will disappear and
the skin resume a silken texture if
you patiently apply this lotion at
morning and at night and as often
between as circumstances permit.

If your arms have been sunburned
at mountain shore or field, begin
promptly on your return from your
vacation, or before, to use good
bleach on them.
This spread freely on the arms as
a paste gives gratifying results with
a few applications.
Beat, until light, the yolk of one
egg, forty drops of benzoin poured
into the egg drop by dHop, and an
ounce of glycerine and an ounce Of
rose water. After spreading this
thickly over the arms from wrist to
elbow, wrap loosely around the
arms a long strip of cheese cloth,
fastening the bandase at elbow and
wrist with safety pins. These shpuId
be allowed to remain on the arms
all night.

than they might. If you dislike
bother" or are really too busy to
fuss" as you Americans say, with
these nightly applications, give your
arms daily baths in this easily pre-
pared arm tub;
Into two quarts of warm water
pour two heaping cupfuls of oatmeal
and add a dozen drops of benzoin.
Plunge Your arms intp this bath to
the elbows, leaving them thus to
soak for five minutes or longer.
Into this bath some English wom-
EN- who have beautiful arms pour the
juice Of lemon to whiten the arms,
but il is more effectual to rub the
arms thoroughly with slices Of lemon
after the bath.
After these baths rub cold cream
freely into the arms, or use an oil
instead. II is mere extravaganza to
use your expensive face cream for
such purpose. Olive oil or cocoanut
oil will suffice.
Have you had good look at your
elbows since you returned from your
Summer vacation? Probably those
neglected parts of your body haven't
met your eye for months. Hold them
up before the mirror and critically
inspect them. thought so; you are
Mortified. You ask how long they
have been brown and coarse and
calloused? No one knows or will
tell, but those elbows can quickly
and easily earn you the reputation
Of being neglectful of your appear

who swan in competition with her.
Not all Of Miss Smiths triumphs
were won in long-distance events,
nor were they confined to competi-
tions held in England In 1909 she
went to France, and at Rouen sue
ceeded in capturing third place In
competition involving eleven men be-
sides her, the one woman. In 1000.
metre race held over course in the
Seine during that same year she led
the way right from the start to the
finish line, and was followed by all
the other competitors in the race
eighteen of them, and all of them
men.
In all, Miss Smith, has won seventy
three medals for her prowess.
The Channel swim, which she has
tried once and which she will try
again, has been attempted many
times by Jabez Wolfe, who is fire.
quently her trainer. Wolfe once got
within three miles of the French
shore, being forced to leave the
water.
Annette Kellerman was the first
woman who ever made the attempt
and who was qualified to make it.
Seasickness brought about Miss Kel-
lermann's withdrawal after she had
been in the water over four hours
and had travelled over twenty niles.
"Seaslckness will be the greatest OBJ
stacle to all women who attempt to
swim the Channel" she announced
at that time, and she was evidently
correct, for Miss Smith was troubled
with NAL de mer when she tried it
last year. and she has never before
been so troubled in any of the long
swims she had made.
Will Miss Smith end mans suDrem-
acy in the water? She will net
be the first woman who has at
tempted to do so at least. In 1891
Nine. Isacescu, an Austrian woman,
swan forty-eight miles in the waters
OF the Danube and did it in eight
hours and ten minutes. No man has
succeeded so far in equalling that
record. Nine. Isacescu became ia

doubt, be able to swim from Dover
to Calais if she but made the at
tempt. Her friends and all those in
terested in swimming in Austria
urged her again and again to try it,
but she would not do So
Agnes Beckwith, mentioned above
estaonshed some records that have

ohe swan twenty-five miles in the
ocean and took only nine hours and
.hlrteen minutes to do it. Her record
Ior twenty miles was six hours
and twenty-eight minutes.
Another record held by a woman
is that of Miss Annie johnson an
English girl, who, in 1899, succeeded
IN remaining under water for three
minutes, eighteen and one-fifth COO
onds. 'oo-
But if Miss Smith succeeds in
crossing the Channel her record will
eclipse all others held by women
and mainly for the aid and glory of
woman suffrage.

what had been prophesied, Miss
Smith decided to do something in
the following year which would go
further than any prophesies made up
to that time-she decided to swim
the Solent from Southsea to the Isle
of Wight and return, a distance of
twelve miles each way.
She trained faithfully for this
event all during the Spring of 1911,
for the proposed feat was difficult
one, having been performed pre-
viously by only one swimmer, Horace
Davenport, who accomplished it in
1884.
Leaving Southsea on the minute
of 6 o'clock, August "a, she started
bravely on the first leg of the jour
ney, reaching Ryde Pier, which
marked the end of it, at 10:45. She
merely touched the pier, and imme-
diately started on the return journey.
When within five miles of Southsea
she received a serious cut on the
knee from submerged barrel with
which she came in contact. She did
not give up the struggle, though the
wound bled profusely, but bandaged
the limb while still in the water and
then resumed her task. She kept on
pluckily for half an hour longer, but
the injured member proved to be too
great a handicap, and so, against her
own wishes but acting on the advice
of her trainer, Walter Brickett, she
gave up the battle.
This was a remarkable perform
ance because the Solent waters are
even more dangerous and flow with
greater speed than those in the Chan
mel. 1t was her showing on this oc-
casion that won her the confidence
of her friends and the praise of her
compatriots, and from then on she
has been regarded as fit candidate
for the cross-channel swim She was
still fresh when she was forced to
leave the Solent on account of her
injury, and this in spite of the fact
that she had swan nineteen miles.
That she would have firished-and
in good time-had she not met with
the DdTTcl, CHoT0 is not Cne least
doubt
During that swim it was her lot
to pass very close to H. M. S. Thur
derer, which was in the Solent. The
officer on watch earned a little no.
toriety for himself by ordering a
boat manned and lowered and having
1t row around and around his ship
when she approached. He was under
the impression that Miss Smith was
merely swimming from shore to the
Thunderer, and he was determined
that she would not be permitted to
land" on the vessel. Hence, he had
put out boat to keep her off. When
those who were accompanying her
on a tug shouted through mega
phone and told Miss Smiths real
intention, the boat was called in and
every man on the Thunderer came
on deck to give three cheers for the
plucky English girl.
Miss Smiths next accomplishment
in the water was a swim from Worth
ing to Brighton, matter of twelve
miles, which she did in four hours
and thirty-five minutes, coming in
only six minutes after Jabez Wolfe,

sportsman, Sir John Ashley, when in

her teens. swan from London Bridge
in Greenwich, distance of five
miles, in one hour and seven min

plished by woman"

time the swimmers
could not be seen by
those on the tug.
In her seventeenth
year Miss Smith made
the fifteen-mile swim
from Richmond to
Blackfriars Bridge, in
the Thames. She was
pitted against thirty
four men at the time
and crossed the finish
line ahead of twenty
five men, having cover
ed the distance in four
hours and nine minutes.
This was in 1907, and
that marks the date OF
the first swimming COM
