NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-Initial
trading on the New York stock ex-
change today was in fairly large
volume, prices as a whole showing
improvement over the previous close.
Trade news continued good, in
Guiding some price improvement in

Rails were among the leaders on
their wonderful showing of profits,
Atchison gaining more than a point
while New York Central was up u
Steel Common was higher as was
General Motors. Industrial Alcohol
was a feature, up more than two
points.
Case Threshing Machine which
yesterday gained 2115 points today
opened at 17015 up u points and
then jumped to ia, later dropping
off to 172 on slight profit taking.
No change took place in the
character of the market around
noon. Speculative sentiment was
extremely confident and buying ac-
tivities went ahead vigorously in
many sections of the list. With the
market displaying a, strong tone,
aggressive bullish demonstrations
were staged in various special is&hes.
Consolidated Cigar spurted 2H
points to 727s, responding to the an.
nouncement that the stock probably
would go on a 81 dividend basis at
the end of the month.
Department store stocks have been
active as indications increase that

Swimmer Heavily Creased for Chan
mel Swim.


Bv United Press
CAPE Girls NEZ, France. Aug. 6.
Gertrude Ederle today made an
other attempt to swim to the Eng
fish channel.
She stepped into the water at
Cape Girls Neg al 1909 a. m, waded
out breast deepfand began the long
swim toward the English shore.
She arrived at the shore in a taxi
cab this morning. The air was
chilly, but the young swimmer did
not seem to notice the cool of the
day as she disappeared into a ga
rage for her final greasing.
Heavily Creased
Miss Ederele was rubbed with Ia
mixture of vaseline and lanoline.
Instead of a one-pieee bathing suit
she wore slips. with the emblem Of
the Womens Swimming Association
and a small American flag on the
chest.
Adjusting heavy goggles as she
came out of the garage, Miss Ed
erie strolled confidently to the water.
Spectators and camera men await
ed her. there and they exchanged
greetings.
In Best OF Spirits
She appeared to be in the best of
spirits, joking about the grease,
which covered her in layers.
IN make it this time" she pre-
dicted.
Lillian Cannon, American girl
swimmer. shook hands with Miss
Ederle on Oaukop beach.
"In see you at Dover" she said,
good luck"
An elderly woman spectator in the
crowd watched the scene with in.
terest, particularly noting the layers
or grease on Miss Ederles body.
Poor Child
Poor childr' she exclaimed.
what a mess they have made of
her."
The Alsa<e had arrived at Cape
Girls Nez-St $50 a. M. and a row
boat which, with the tug. was to ac-
company Miss Ederle was put out
from the tug. coming ashore five
minutes later.
A hundred watchers had gathered
on the beach. A ripple OF laughter
came from the group as a dog
jumped from the deck of the tug
into the water and swan after his
master, who was in the row boat. \
Kissed on Cheek
Burgess kissed Miss Ederle on the
cheek as she started to enter the
water. Cries of farewell and shouted
good wishes came from the crowd
as Miss Ederle waded out, walking
on the bottom until the water was
up to her neck. Then she began
swimming. with Burgess accompany.
ing her. The tug moved on with
the swimmers and the row boat,
manned by two oarsmen, took up
its long course. An American and
French flag flew from the smaller
craft.
On the advice Of her trainer, Bill
Burgess, the second man to swim the
channel, Miss Ederle had retired
early last night. Burgess expressed
the opinion that she was in fine con-
dition, and was confident she would
be the first woman to swim the chan
mel.
