SULLIYAN-HUDDLESTON
 SWIMMING FEUD IS ON
Man and Woman May Race for 25,000, and Mrs. Sullivan
 Also May Enter

Long Beach, Cal, Feb. P - Swimming the channel between Santa Catalina Island and the main land today promised to become an event for family parties owing to challenges tossed back and forth be- tween the rival Long Beach camps of Mrs. Myrtle Huddleston and Henry Sullivan, both of whom have accomplished the ocean swim.
 Mrs. Huddleston, 30-year-old mother, offered to race the veteran Lowell, Mass, distance swimmer across the channel for a S25.000 side bet. Sullivan met her proposal in part and issued two challenges. He said she could race against him in his next channel attempt and also that he would back his wife financially Ito the limit" in |. swim against the Long Beach woman. To round out the family party he de- cared his seven-year-old daughter, Marion, could win against Mrs. Hud- dleston's 11-year- r-old son. Everet, in a shorter race-up to five miles.
 Mrs. Sullivan's longest time in the water is twelve hours but she is capable of longer swims \and is faster than her husband, Sullivan said. His next try at the channel will be in an attempt to break George Young's record of slightly less than 16 hours and thereby jus tify use of the breast stroke, with which Sullivan has crossed both the Catalina and English chapIels.

HENRY FORD CLAIMS YEARS FARM
 WORK CAN BE DONE IN 15-20 DAYS

the blowing and narrowing that must
 be done before planting, one day for the planting itself, five days for culti-
 vation during growth and two days
 for harvesting and threshing, which can now be done simultaneously by
 @ machine which cuts, threshes and bags the wheat as it is drawn through the field by tractor The total of time thus allocated would be ten days, which is only half of Mr. Fords estimate, and would leave
 another ten days for ditching. fenc- ing, distribution of fertilizer and do- ing any other work fairly chargeable
 to the cost of producing a particular crop.
 Work Analyzed
 "When thus analysed, the claim
 that 20 days is all the time that
 need be spent in raising and harvest
 ing most of our staple crops does not seem preposterous but as I pointed out to MT. Ford, 1t presup- poses the use of much machinery and the labor of many hands that might
 not be obtainable if they were only to be employed for q few days at a time and not more than 20 days al- together.
 Tn answer he said that those who
 were willing to pay good wages cas-
 fly could be so organized that con- tinuous employment for the labor engaged in it would be provided"
