October


Five Of the twelve months that make up the year
have succeeded more than the other seven In win
ming the attention Of the poets. Stormy March,
"with ugly looks and thIsats"S tickle April, when
every tear ID answered BY blossom; and merry
May. when those who love must love and wed.
During the first half Of the year these are the months
az which the muse sesms 70 b most enamored. VI
the last six only Two have ingratiated themselves
into her affections October and November.
But it is agreed by common consent that MOI
much is to be looked for from November except
bleak winds and bare woods and dark hurs, while
in October's tinted days find a never-failing
charm It matters not how lavishy nature may have
spent her energies, nor with what magic charm she
may have worked during the spring and summer
months for October she has left still . goody sup
ply of her bounties. For some who love the garlsh
days of August and July, October's sunshine may be
trifle wan and pale but it is in just this softened
light that the tnts Of wood and field appear to their
best advantage.
Whether the dim gray clouds are scurrying on
their endless journey, or whether the skies are SO
blue that they flash and "hold the sun mmeasur-
ably far" it matters not Turn where you will, the
magic Of color is there-purple and gold. yellow and
brown and green and red, and all the Intervening
hues and shades mingled with such infinite skill and
cunning the mystery of which no man may UNDER
stand.
October days are not melancholy. They invite re-
Election and pensiveness to be sure but they invite
also participation and enjoyment in all the won
derful things nature has created in the months pre-
ceding. Much though we may sound the praises OF
April and May as the days Of planning and promise,
it is not until October days that the full meaning 0.
the hope Of spring is borne upon u.s. October Il
the rugged manhood Of the year in all its glorious
strength; it is symbolic Of tasks begun and carried
through to the end; it is synonym for achieve
nent.

Gertrude Ederle bounced out of bed
at 1880 o'clock this morning. de-
claring she was ready for another
swim
She showed no traces Of the ter
rihle strain of yesterdays ordeal,
when she battled the treacherous
currents Of the English channel for
fourteen hours. and thirty-one min
utes. crossing from France To Eng
land in record time and becoming
the first Of her sex to perform the
feat.
The New York girl was full Of pep
and in great humor when she arose.
and proceeded Immediately to get
ready to catch the afternoon boat
from Folkestone to Boulogne. where
training quarters were established.
Miss Ederle was in the water
again off Dover beach n short time
after arising. She explained that
she never could face a day without
a swim, and was sure she could
swim back to Boulogne today il she
tried.
THE great point in my swimming
at ALL she said, was 20 show that

WOMAN MAKES
CHANNEL SWIM
New York Girl First
to Accomplish Oft
Tried Feat

DOVER, England, Aug. T.--tR,-
The English channel has been de-
feated By Gertrude Ederle. the 49,
year-old American girl swimmer.
Old Neptune. after numerous pre-
vious refusals. including Miss Ederle
herself. at last lifted his three
pronged spear and permitted a wom-
ar to swim across the turbulent
waterway, dividing England from
France.
And. AS If in a most deferential
mood. he accorded the former Ameri-
can and Olympic champion such
generally favorable conditions that
she accomplished il in shorter time
than any Of the five men who were
able 70 make the arduous journey,
from 1872 to 1928.
Starting from Cape Gris-Nez.
France. at 1909 o'clock Friday morn
ing under splendid weather and
tidal conditions. the New York girl
churned the waters Of the channel
almost continuously with her strong
overland stroke ana the crAWl-klck
that brought her fame as an amateur
natator, until GAS o'clock Friday
evening.
Then she touched bottom at Kings
down, between Dover and Deal, and
walked happily ashore under the
glare of huge bonfires built along the
beach to guide her toward the chalk
cliffs. amid the acclaim Of crowds Of
spectators.
She had brought ashore with her a
new record Of II hours, 81 minutes
for the swim and was pleased with
her achievement. II am a proud wom-
an" she declared simply.
Notwithstanding the long time she
had been in The water. Miss Ederle
required no assistance when she
landed.

NEW CONGRESS
icer
IN MEXICOMA
SOLUTION
Legislation on Reli-
gious Subject Ex-
pected Immediately
After Convening

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 7.-6-The
impasse in the struggle between the
government and the Catholic church
in Mexico may possibly be solved
through the enactment by the new
congress. which convenes September
1. Of religious regulations less dras-
tic than those which went into ef-
feet week ago-at least that is the
hope held at present in some circles.
Legislation on the religious sub
ject is expected to be one of the
first things taken up by the new
congress. 1t may result in con-
gressional reaffirmation of Presi-
dent Gales regulations, in a con-
test between the president and con-
gress on the subject, or in the pass
age of milder regulations.
Hope of congressional modifica-
tion is based upon an announcement
by the department Of the interior
that il is studying and preparing a
draft law regulating article 130 OF
the constitution, which is the re-
ligious section. The department will
submit this bill to congress.
President Gales promulgation
regulated the religious clauses Of
the constitution. but included
amendments to the penal code. Con-
gress itself has not passed law
enacting the religious section of the
constitution and can still do so.
This law. If approved BY the presi-
dent. would supplement the present
regulations.

No Change In
Situation

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 7.-(Pp-The
end of the first week in the break
between the Roman Catholic church
authorities and the Mexican govern
ment over the governments recently
imposed regulations governing the
enactment of the religious clauses
of the constitution, found the oppos-
ing groups in unchanged positions.
There apparently are no prospects
of settlement Of the controversy
- an early date. The priests con-
t.nue TO absent themselves from the
churches, but the doors of many Of
the edifices are open for worship
pers to enter, mediate and pray.
Business circles continue to take
a gloomy view of the situation, fear
full that the economic boycott insti-
tuted by the National League for De-
fense Of Religious Freedom as pro-
test against the religious regula-
tions. may assume more serious pro-
portions in the capitol.
The belief prevails here that the
movement calling for no expendi-
tures by the people except for abb
solute necessities, is being obeyed
'much more in other parts of the
country than in Mexico City, but
there are evidences of its affects
here. particularly in the small pur-
chases Of luxurieS.
Little news regarding conditions
in other parts of the republic is be-
ing made available in Mexico City,
but apparently, with the exception
of occasionally purely local dis
turbances, the situation growing out
of the religious controversy seem
ingly is being calmly accepted by the
mass of the people.
Reports from Cacapu, state of
Michoacan. say that there have been
serious disorders between the popu-
lace and police and soldiers growing
+. out oft he religious situation. The
reports said that the troops are in
control of the situation. but that
there were several casualties dur
