Feature Feat of
New Channel Triumph

Dover, England, Aug. 29.-(P)-"This
Star Spangled Channel of Ours" is the
way the London Illustrated Sunday
Herald heads It's article chronicling
Mrs. Corson's crossing.
All the newspapers of the country
feature the American woman's
achievement and Also give prominence
to Miss Ederle's Congratulatory tele-
gram. as an example of the splendid
sporting spirit of the first woman con-
queror of the channel.
Dover really made more fuss over
Mrs. Corson than over Miss Ederle.
This was probably due to the fact
that Mrs. Corson is better known. as
she maintained her training quarters
here for nine weeks.
Mrs. Corson was up early after a
sound sleep and was besieged by
crowds everywhere. She repeated the
remark of yesterday: II would not at
tempt the channel swim again for a
million pounds"
There is likely to be one further
mermaid attempt to cross the channel
this season. Miss Clarabelle Barrett
and Miss Lillian Cannon are homeward
bound for the United States. but Nine.

has failed four years in succession,
