BY HARRY G. STEVENS

Swimming Instructor and Exam
ining 0nlcer for the American Red
Cross Life Saving Society,"
81 believe the explanation OF Mrs.
Vetter's remarkable buoyancy rests
in her abnormal lung capacity and
the high location Of the center Of
gravity Of her body Mrs. Vetter. in
some ways. has the most remarkable
lungs ] have ever known in wom-
an. One reason for this is that she
has never laced and her internal or
gans have never been displaced as Is
the case with women who wear
tight corsets.
Her normal chest measurement is
80 inches. very unusual in a woman
OF her size, and her chest expansion
is far above the average. Her waist
measurement is 30 inches.
'The abnormal DEVELOPMENT Of the
chest and Diaphragm cavity causes
the center OF gravity OF the body to
be raised, with corresponding great
er buoyancy."
