.HELMY'S ARRIVAL
PLEASES EDERLE
Egyptian Swimmer, Late as
Usual, She CabIes--AIso
Rather Fat.
BY GERTRUDE EDERLE.

CAPE GRIS-NEZ, France, June 10.
There has been great excitement to-
night as a result of the arrival of
Shak Helmy. He came a day late,
which did not surprise me, as / know
him we'll from yesteryear. Helmy is
at least an hour late for all his ap-
pointments and even was late in his
channel attempts. Perhaps he
thought the tide would wait for him.
Helmy is to try to swim the channel
again. He is so fat he possibly will
be able to float across
He is like a big happy boy, laugh
ing constantly and never troubled by
anything. He speaks perfect Eng
lish. French and Egyptian and Is a
good interpreter for us when we re-
quire French, especially at meal times.

Aoring village of Audignon today, re-
turning to Cape GrisNez, met Elijah,
an adorable boy of S, who visits us
nightly at the hotel. Elijah smiles
cherubically and his smiles get him
many centimes. Upon meeting the

He spread the word TO the other
pupils and thereafter we were fol.
lowed to Cape Girls Nez, a distance
of two miles. by a crowd Of school
children. We felt like a couple of
proteges OF the pied piper.
The children here are dressed in
dark colors and are pitifully thin
They wear heavy solid black shoes
and aprons of blue gingham. looking
all alike. They are most friendly
toward US.
The children attend school from s

They start to school when they are

their force, were unable to bulge the
craft from the sandy bottom holding
it in it's grip 1t worked without any
well-conceived plans. That was be-
cause the Navy was never confronted
with such job before.
The raising Of the submarine F-4,
sunk 305 feet off Honolulu in March,
1915, during marine maneuvers. has
been pointed to as n problem similar
to the raising of the S-51, but Navy
officials now agree this is not so. The
IA was successfully dragged by der
ricks to q spot where il rested only
40 feet below the surface and then
was brought to the top. But this plan
was not feasible In the case of the
S-51, and the Navy found 1t necessary
to cali on science.
The Navy resorted chiefly this time
to the use Of pontoons. Eight pom
toons were placed. six of them near
the bow and only two at the stern
This was because 1t was the bow that
was runctured by the City of Rome
and therefore, being filled with water,
had to have more buoyancy. The
stern compartments are all closed
and believed to be practically water
tight.
Water to BE Forced Out.
When the Navy is ready to lift, air
lines will be inserted into each pom

free of water and will be fed com

Client.
The air will have to be forced into
the pontoons gradually and slowly for
We're they to reach their maximum
buOyancy quickly the submarine
might be dragged to the surface with
such force that serious damage prob
ably would result
Salvage workers have satisfied
themselves 1t will not be necessary to
have derricks to drag the submarine
from its sandy bottom During the
past few days tests were made to
determine how solidly she is sunk in
the sand. At first the submarine was
listing to port about Is degrees. The
port ballast tanks and two after
pontoons were blown.
The result was clear indication to
the Navy officials that when the
pontoons are filed with compressed
air and are ready to drag the sub
marine upward there will not be diff
ficulty in forcing it out of the sandy
bottom.

Whole Year of Idleness.

Because 1926 is Sabbath year"
mentioned in the Bible. members of a
religious sect in Arkansas, known as
the Incoming Kingdom" are resting
this year, says the Capper's Weekly
Magazine. They base their belief on
this passage in the 25th chapter of
Leviticus:
six years thou shalt SOW thy field
and six years thou shalt prune thy
vineyard, and gather in the fruit
thereof: but in the seventh year shall
be a Sabbath Of rest unto the land.
a Sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt
neither SOW thy field nor prune thy
vineyards"
In 1925, according to their interpre-
tation of the Scriptures, they should
have raised a double harvest to tide
them over their year of rest, but only
ordinary crops were produced. so the
colony has been buying up the sur
plus of its neighbors to carry it
through to 1927.

Tribe of Giants Found.

A new tribe of giant negroes, who
are ruled by 7-foot king, has been
found in Central Africa, according to
William J. w. Room, secretary of the
British Foreign Bible Society, recently
returned from Africa. The tribe COM
prises 100000 persons, whose aver
age height, he states. is between 6
and feet. The men are fond of
athletic sports. With their height
and strength they easily surpass our
best sport records. and would have
no difficulty in carrying off the honors
in the worlds Olympic games. The
ruling caste appears to have descended
from ancient Egyptians who came to
Central Africa by way of Abyssinia.
In striking contrast to these giants,
Mr. Room found in the northwest
Congo a race of pigmies about 4 feet
high.

tions and the civic federatiOns of
Montgomery County. Md. and Ar

organizations.
Those who attended the conference
were Jesse G. Suter, president of the

tives of the three organizations as
