HELMY POSTPONES
CHANNEL ATTEMPT
Wind and Dense Fog Cause
DeIay-EderIe Joins His
Party in Outing.
BY GERTRUDE EDERLE.

BY Cable to The Star.
CAPE Girls NEZ, France, July "a.
"A dense fog, a high wind and a
rough sea combined to postpone
Ishak Helmy's attempt to swim the
English Channel scheduled for yes
terday. The giant Egyptian had eX-
pected to start inasmuch as persons,
who have studied the moods of the
channel promised fair day for the
effort.
Helmy has been training at GriZ
NeZ for more than a month. He has
made two previous attempts to swim
from France to England and last year
remained in the water for Ia hours
and 80 minutes before he gave up.
We sampled a bit of gay life yes
terddy, in view of the postponement,
which almost ended in : tragedy.
Helmy had invited several Egyptian
friends, who stopped at Boulogne and
entertained us at luncheon, at a. place
which reminds us of Atlantic City.
We had a delicious luncheon, then
walked about the narrow streets,
which all end at boardwalk, and
each of which is lined with enticing
shops.
In the party was Nine. Georgia
Privey of Paris. She complained of
FEELING badly, so we started Tor nome,
but we had not gone far when she
tainted. We took her out and laid
her on the ground and sent M.
Blondieau, the owner of our hotel. for
a doator. He drove to the nearest
village and asked a doctor to come,
but he refused.
Nine. Privey tainted three times and
it began to rain with her lying by the
roadside in a field, and crowd gath
cred around. At last NJ. Blondieau re-
turned and we managed, to get her
back into our car and went on to an
otker town, where she was finally re-
vived. | think she had been poisoned
by some Of the clans which she had
eaten. None of the rest of us had
eaten any of them.
l have received a number of en-
couraging letters from strangers who
say they believe that / will succeed
in swimming the channel this time.
One of the incest of these came from

Hard Leather Club
Organized to Punch
Members Who 'Cuss'
BY the Associated Press.


ALTON, ILL.,, July 24--One way to
curb the use of profane language is
to punch" the offender! This theory

only with the understanding that a
fellow member may take a poke at
the swearer. Reports are that tbs
theory works.
H. W. Robinson, news dealer, con-

language near his place of business.
Enlisting the aid of another man, he
organized the Hard Leather Club. On
application, others were taken in I'M
til now 81 men and their wives and
families are in the ranks against pro-
family in any form.
The punishment is simple-when
member swears and is heard by an
other member, the second is privi-
legged to take a punch at the offender.
The only restriction is that the Of
Tending person must be hit about the
shoulders. Wives are honorary men,

Sudden Cold Snap
Makes Bad Travelling

The advent of the sudden cold
snap has made the hills and side
walks unusually slippery, and both
pedestrians and autoists found ne
gotiating Church and Brunswick
hills rather difficult work. The
small markers in the center Of
Church hill at the lower end have
proven their. worth several times
over, for Thursday they were the
means of preventing serious acct
dents. Drivers coming down over
the hill at good rate of speed find
that they lose control of their ma
chimes at the. bottom, and as the car
swerves sideways these protuber-
ances prevent them from going down
onto the main street. Chief Dunn
plans to remove the silent policeman
at the foot of the hill and thus lessen
the danger of automobiles running
into this obstruction.
The cold weather precented the
coasters and skaters from enjoying
their favorite sports to the fullest,
but there were several parties on
the permitted hills Thursday even
ing.
