EDERLE IN WATER
. 3HOURS AND HALF
Longest Swim Yet Made by
Any in Group Planning
Channel Attempt.
BY JULIA HARPMAN.

CAPE Girls NEZ, France, June 80.
The longest swim yet made TINS
year by any of these intrepid persons
who are training along the northern
coast of France to cross the Engllsh
Channel under the power OF their
own arms and legs was accomplished
yesterday by Gertrude Ederle, who
remained in the choppy water three
and onehalf hours. She swan from
Girls Nez to Wimereaux, distance OF
712 miles.
During the first miles she was
bucking strong tide. The water was
very cold and near the end of the
swim a squat sprang up from the
English side of the channel and head
ed her way, but Gertrude refused to
give up, despite the fact her skin
along the edge of her bathing suit
was chafed by the raw silk which
rubbed against the sunburned flesh
on her Shoulders. She recklessly had
lain in the sun during the early
morning and when she entered the
water she did not realize she had been
burned.
Complained of Pain.
After a couple of hours in the cold
water she complained of pains in her
shoulders, but declined to enter the
boat when urged to do SO by her
father, who, with Trainer Burgess ana
three friends, was riding near her.
Ordinarily q swimmer is creased be-
fore making such q long stay in the
channel, but Gertrude was not creased.
Her courage and endurance were
amazing. While those who accom-
panied her sat huddled under their
sweaters and heavy robes shivering in
The rowboat, Trudie, hour after hour,
with her long brown arms crawling
over the water and a beautiful flame
in her eyes, led the way through the
singing salt water.
Discarded Her Goggles.
Gertrude had discarded her goggles
after few minutes trial because they
failed to keep out the water. Land
ing at WimereauX, where IA fisherman
was gathering in his shrimp nets, they
persuaded the man to go up the hill
into town to fetch an automobile.
While waiting, Trudie. SHE'D behind
little hut on the beach and changed
into a dry bathing suit and sweater.
Then all but Burgess drove to Girls
Nez. Burgess rowed the boat home.
After Trudie was given massage
by Nine. Burgess and had eaten soup,
fish, roast pork, baked beans and Gus
tard pie, she frowned and said: Il sup

LITTLE NINTH STREET
Affected BY CHANGE
Approved as One-Way Thorough
fare for Southbound
Traffic.

Little Ninth street from Pennsyl-
yania, to Louisiana avenues was made
u one.way thoroughfare for south
bound traffic in an amendment to the
traffic regulations approved yesterday
by the District Commissioners.
The amendment was recommended
as Il result of Il recent order OF the
Public Utilities Commission changing
the interstate bus terminal from
Eighth street and Louisiana avenue
to the front Of the old Bijou Theater
at Little Ninth and G streets. The
old theater building will be used as a
waiting room and comfort station for
bus passengers.

mention it's durability.
A double or single laundry tub is
usually built in. Since rinsing and
bluing may be done in the washing
machine, double tub is not really
needed. The washing machine often
is on casters so that it may be rolled
over to the tub, when in use, and
out of the way when it's period
of service is over.
Speaking of casters, one of the new
labor saving devices is low bench
en- casters to hold the wash basket.
This is to save stooping-an idea
that will commend itself to any
housewife.
The water supply is to be consid-
cred for wash day. A water softener
and water heater are two very
necessary mechanical helps, that is,
if one lives in hard water district.
Another device that lends itself to
making wash day easier is an electric
dryer. Sunshine, alas, cannot be

WANTS
TO Sell FAMOUS
Old FORTRESS.

BERLIN, Sept. "a .(AP) - The
Charleston forbidden" is a sign greet
ing devotees of the dance entering
a majority of public dance halls in
Berlin, especially those on the out
skirts. While the Dancing Masters
association recently announced that
the Charleston had at last come into
it's own, dance hall proprietors re-
belled because only few Berliners
could dance it correctly. The re-
mainder, they said, kicked. up their
heels so awkwardly that other dancers
clothes were ruined, shins were
scraped and ankles sprained Fist
fights were frequent. So the pro-
prietors hung out the well known
sign "verboten" and chased the
Charleston to the confines of hotel
bathrooms and cabarets.
The dramatic critics are wondering
what Schiller would have done had

When 1t comes to the very newest
arrangements, the very last word in
efficiency for laundry done at hons,
an ell fitted up in the kitchen with
all the necessary equipment, is ad-
.vised, because it saves running up
and down steps.
In most homes, however, the
kitchen does not lend itself easily to
this latest improvement, for various
reasons. 1t is too small, or one
would have to sacrifice the breakfast
nook, or it is an old kitchen and
all the plumbing would have to be
rearranged.

is blessing indeed
Built-in Ironing Board
Then when the wash is already
for ironing, the, matter of equipment
for ironing must be considered. When
space is restricted, a built-in ironing
board is a great help, with shelf
at the top of it's cupboard on which
to keep the electric iron. Special
plugs and switches are now available
so that one may tell at a glance
whether the electricity is on or off.
Besides the iron and a good board,
another helper is an ironing machine.
OF these there are many makes to
choose from. One has swinging
table top. This swung out to one
side when the machine is in use,
giving space on which to' place
freshly ironed clothes, or sprinkled
rolls of washing. There is no ques-
ton about the tremendous saving

serve closet is a joy to any house
wife. But the coal room-the time
to arrange for that is when the
house is being built. And if you
come into an old house, in which
the location Of the coal room is badly
planned, how very irritating it can pc!
Accessible To Furnace
Some of these are planned so that
long journey to the furnace is
necessary every time it needs fuel.
Others seem to be especially designed
to make IL difficult to fill them
That is--the outside window opens
on the lawn, or the side furthest
from the drive, or in some place
entirely inaccessible. And then, Of
course, everyone knows what it means
to have the coal room open at the
top so that the dust can fly all over
the cellar. In the newest of houses,
they are somtimes found that way.
Another workroom in the basement,
besides the laundry, is the corner
fitted up for the good mans work
Bench, with shelves and racks for
his tools. The cartoons are unmerci-
full to the "handy- -about-the-
house." perhaps because a man has
to stop and laugh at himself when
in his efforts to help he does more
damage than good.
The cartoonist finds it funny to
see a man pound a nail and hit his
thumb by mistake, and the man can
laugh, too-afterward. If efficiency

Danish King Had Best
 Meal With Poor Family

Copenhagen, Oct. 22 LP) - King Christian is very fond of boiled po- tatoes, but he can't get them at the palace as he likes them because the chey insists upon too many trim mings.
 But at the dwelling of a country vicar the king, when his autom obile broke down, enjoyed what he term ed "the most delicious potatoes l have ever tasted"
 Leaving the car near Ribe, the king, with his principal chamberlain, set out on foot to reach the nearest village. Arriving at the local manse the king told the vicar of his mishap and explained that he was exceed ingly hungry.
 The vicar and his family were just ready to start their evening meal, consisting of potatoes and onion sauce. The king insisted upon join ing them. The vicar was apologetic about the Sparton food, but the king declared it to be better than many of the royal dinners.
