Hopes to Swim English Channel Some Day

Upper photo shows Jackie OFT,
famous boy swimmer, and his IA
rther and mother. MI. and Mrs.
Alexander OFT, OF Miami. Florida.
Jackie says he will swim the Eng
fish Channel some day. He is a
normal, wholesome. happy boy, and
having received good heritage Of
brain and Drawn, from his parents,
both of whom are devotees Of the
open air and physical culture, he
has built up splendid physique by
following their instructions. Jackie
lives in the sunshine. There is
never a day in the year that he
does not play outdoors.
Jackie is able to climb a sixty
foot rope overland. He can dive
with arms and feet shackled from a
height of twenty feet and free him

for the sterilization Of hotel rates
during the coming winter season
in Florida from November LIST to
May LIST. This resolution decided for
the publication of maximum. me-
dunn and minimum rates. This,
says Mr.. Mase is a tremendously
important step for the many who
visit Florida for it means that the
hotels will publish their rates and
stick to them. He has just COM
pleted trip through twenty states
and found that the hotel rates were
generally higher than those of Flor
ida.
"This will bring lots of people to
Florida" said Mr.. Mase. "And III
do my best, too" says Jackie. "If
they come they can see me diving
like an old man with a bum leg"
Jackie's father started to give
him gentle physical exercises by
moving his legs and arms slowly
up and down when ne was only
three weeks old. He started to learn
to swip when only ten months,
and when eighteen months old could
swim rapidly across a swimming
pool. Jackie's parents make a pal
of their boy. They do not order
him to do things but explain why
he should do them. This permits
him to use his own judgment and
develops a spirit of self-reliance.
He is not permitted to over exert
and goes to bed early sleeping
