Taken by and for, this channel

supreme tests Of human cour-
age, strength and durability.
Add to those qualities the ele-
ment necessary to overcome the
mental hazards which accom-

salt spray stings the eyes and
blinds the swimmer; the rush Of

have liked to be on the Dover

walk 200 yards unaided up the

world series will bring any
greater thrill to so large a
number of people as has this
simple young German-American
girl-Gertrude Ederle.
