Swimming by Science
Lillian Cannon Turns to Experts for Advice on Tides
 Weather and Temperature of Channel
By Lillian Cannon

Copyright. 1926, by NEA Service)
 Gris neg, France. June 21.-Since my physical condition seems well attended to, my chief interest now is 10 study an appropriate date for the channel swim.
 The latter part of July has been generally agreed upon as the best time for undertaking the feat, but soon we must arrive at an approxi- mate date, at least.
 With this m mind I have called upon the assistance of number of cXperts in matters of tides, currents md possible water temperatures on given dates. l hope to have reports. or perhaps they should be called theories, within a short time. Chan mel weather always is uncertai", so the best advice l can get will be none too much.
 The experiences Of others who have made the attempt in past years figure more than little in our planning. Certainly We expect to gain much from avoiding mistakes others have made. Sun and lunar conditions at given dates are also being studied, for in such m effort the most ideal conditions must be sought.
 At the moment the arrival Of American swimmers is the occasion for considerable social activity and hundreds of tourists are coming out of their way to watch our training. The American consul has motored over from Calais and given Us the glad hand" He wished me success and We chatted about my feats in the Chesapeake. The flag will be raised on the consulate during the time the swim is on.

He insisted that he had seen his wife's alleged lover enter the tenement a short time previous.
