CAPE GRIS-NEZ, France, July 16.
Frank Perks, this years first swim
mer to make the channel swim at
tempt, took off wednesday night
from the rocks below the lighthouse,
but I was not there to wish him
good luck, although / had planned
to give him a rousing send-off. The
reason was that Helmy, the giant
swimmer from the land Of the Nile,
had given a party in celebration OF his
birthday and we hadn't returned
home when Perks made his start at
1852 pm.
I Helny took pop, Mrs. Pegler. sis

Delicious meal, then returned to
Boulogne, where we visited the
Casino and watched the crowds

that I went to sleep in the auto

Having tumbled into bed, I was
sleeping soundly when Helmy called
us to say he had found a note in his
room stating that Perks was starting.
The. Blondau Hotel proprietor said
he would drive us to the lighthouse
to search for signs Of the boat accom-
panying the swimmer. We all put on
coats and sweaters over our pa1amas,
jumped into a car and went to the
rocks. Through dense fog we
thought we discerned a tiny light,
but it might have been merely
imagination.
Yesterday was most unpleasant,
with a bowling wind and the sun abb

EDERLE'S FOOD WATCHED.
Trainer to Give Same Thing i
Swim She Eats in Practice.
BY THOMAS WILLIAM BURGESS,
Trainer of Gertrude Ederle

Trainer Of Gertrude Ederle.
, CAPE GRIS-NEZ, July 16--one Of
Che most difficult problems with
which the trainer of channel SWIM
nner and the swimmer himself has
to contend is that of food.
While the swimmer is In the
water it is necessary to induce as
much bodily heat as possible to COM
bat the effects Of the water and the
cold air; and weakness is the natural
result of hours of strenuous efforts.
Although heat is most desired. it Is
unwise to give the swimmer hot
foods, because eating hot food in the
cold water win cause indigestion.
Therefore the warmest food that can
be administered is lukewarm beef
tea or cocoa, neither of which Is par
ticularly palatable when a person has
been swimming for several hours and
3 feeling the slightest gnawing OF
Hunger.
>Win Prevent Hunger.
The wise trainer win not allow his
swimmer to become conscious OF
hunger. think 1t is best to feed the
swimmer small portions Of food at
frequent intervals so that he never
becomes annoyed by hunger. The
personal preference of the swimmer

Of food he is to be fed. On every one
df my 80 attempts to swim the chan
mel ate solid food and believe that
II such food agrees with a swimmer
during trial swim, there Is no rea-
son why he should not have 1t when
He is attempting to cross the channel.
A swimmer should never expert.
1nent on food while attempting to
cross the channel He should try sew
eral different kinds of food while
making practice swims, and then, on
the great day, should eat only those
things that he has been able to digest
best during the practice swirns.
During Miss Ederle's attempt to
swim across the channel last year
she was given some preparation, the
exact nature of which I do not know,
mixed with beef tea It really was
not food and would not give her
the same stuff under any conditions.
She has suggested that she be given
chicken salad during her practice,

Have your name printed at
