THE FRENCHMAN'S GREAT
 CHANNEL SWIM

Another opportunity for admir- ing pluck, perseverance, strength and stamina is given us in contem- plating the marvellous feat Of Georges Michel. the Paris baker, in swimming across the English channel in the record breaking time Of II hours and minutes.
 It was the Frenchmans tenth attempt to swim the tide-swept waters, indicating he had the kind of determination that finally con- quers all obstacles. But he also used a degree of judgment which easily might have proved wrong, this having to do with his unpre- cedented time for starting.
 By leaving the rocks at Gris- Neg an hour before low tide, or shortly after D. m., he set pre- cedent that probably will be fol- lowed by others. Virtually all the other channel swimmers suc- cessful ones and aspirants alike - have been starting four hours be- fore high tide, or around midnight. Michel had an idea there would be an advantage in an earlier start, but before he changed the time there were few experts willing to agree with him. The result tndi- cates his judgment was correct, and was probably based upon his experiences during the previous nine attempts.
 It will be noted that Michel won the international swimming mara thon in Paris on August l, when he swam 26 miles, aided by a strong current, in a little more than II hours. But swimming on the Seine, like swimming around island, Is different than swimming across the channel. While he was acclaimed the inter- national marathon swimming champion he had failed nine times in crossing the channel. Now, it is pleasing to note, this Herculean- built son of Gaul has finally added another championship to his col lection.

FUNDAMENTAL SILENCE

Upon the tooth anniversary of the Christian Advocate, a weekly journal published by the Methodist Book Concern in New York, its editor was congratulated upon his "sagacious silence during the re- cent controversies between the Modernists and the Fundamental ists.' Bishop Berry of Philadelphia said that not more than per cent of the clergymen and per cent of the laynen in the Methodist church were interested in the con- troversy. If this is true 1t might have been partly due to this golden silence" by the official publication. We may be wrong, but have no hesitancy in saying more than 2 per cent of the general pub lie, including laymen in various churches, were interested in the controversy; and are yet. Most of the discussion, however, takes place in the newspapers, where si- fence upon any vital question Is not considered golden.

LENROOT'S HARD LICK

Of all the men who weep and vail about what might have been, Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin Is the prince. Instead of being de- feated for renomination in Wiscon- sin he might have been president of the United States.
 After Harding was nominated in 1920 the first person thought of for the ice-presidential candidate was Lenroot, and he stood in high favor among the delegates. Had it not been for Mrs. Hiram Johnson, 1t is said, who in speaking with a Pennsylvania delegate mentioned the name of Calvin Coolidge, the latter may not have been placed before the convention. It was an Oregon delegate. getting wind of the quiet Coolidge boom, who placed his name before the conven- tion as the man who, with a slo- gan, had stopped the Boston po- lice strike"
 That ended Lenroot's bid for the vice presidency and the presidency. Now he Is to be retired.

The trains have been stopping so close to Main street of late that the last car frequently ex- tends over the roadway and holds up passenger and carriage traffic.

that much money, and is asking France for her feelings about sell ing. Belgium, faced with dire finan- cial difficulties, quite equalling the troubles of France, would like to possess the gold marks much more than possessing the two towns.
 The point is that Germany Is able and willing to spend that much money for the purpose after having been the most impoverished nation in Europe only three years ago. This change has been due en- tirely to the workings of the Dawes plan, which was a major operation but caused the patient to recover.
