New York There
has just arrived from Europe or
the steamship America Of the Uni
ted States Lines a pretty American
girl who is credited with a new
transatlantic record. The young
woman is heralded by her fellow
yoyagers as having practically
rowed her way across the Atlantic.
Miss Rita Cummings, whose
home is IN Philadelphia, is the
young woman to whom the latest
sea honor belongs. She has ever
been an ardent oarsWoman and in
preparation for her summers cam
paign as the member Of a girls
camping colony on the Fulton
Chain Of Lakes in the Adirondacks
Miss Cummings did her training on
the steamship America.
The young woman did not row a
boat in the open sea. Rather she
did so without danger of splashing
her golden tresses or mourning
danger from capsizlng by rowing
her hardest In the gymnasium Of
the big United States liner. For
six hours each day during the nine
days trip from Bremen to New
York Miss Cummings worked at the
oars with all the effort of varsity
crewsman training for the big re-
gatta.
How many miles the girl rowed
during the trip can only be roughly
estimated. Passengers who watched
the young woman at her training
calculated that she rowed at the
rate of four miles an hour and
credit her with having accomp-
lished about 220 miles during the
trip.

America, among it's many devices
for exercising, Is equipped with a
