 C0NQUERS CHANNEL
Is First Woman to Swim
 Catalina Waters

Long Beach, Cal. Feb. 1.-tP- "A pot of gold" the means of giving her II year old son an education, to- day appeared within the reach of Mrs. Myrtle Huddleston. because Of her courageous and successful swim ming of the Catalina channel.
 She was the first woman natator to negotiate the twenty odd mile wide passage which separates santa Catalina island from California $ mainland
 Mrs. Huddleston, 30, former resi- dent of Mattoon, H.. competed for 1o prize in her swim, but she eN- poets to realize large revenue from motion picture, vaudeville and ad- vertising contracts as q result Of her conquest. The fruits of her victory, she says, will be used to send her boy. Everett, through school.
 A tentative offer 10 go on the vaudeville stage already has been made to Mrs. Huddleston, who at present is the proprietor of beauty parlor here.

Even the at lacks of a savage Barravuda fish failed 10 stop her and at ll:l4 n ha l. cd bottom at Point Nincente. Her attempt started at o:02 p. m. S2tur- day from the isthmus on the island,
 As the goal hove in sight, Mrs, Huddleston in near-delirum. was spurred on by her son who called to her from a conveying rowboat, Come on, mamma: come on. ma ma. don't give up
 Left side ParalyLcd
 When she was helped out of the water after finishing the final quar- fer mile she was in q state of semi coma. She collapsed when lifted into the boat. Her left side was para lyzed.
 About her arms and body were bites and bruises received in her bat tie with the barracuda which had at tackled her when she was midway across the channel.
 Mrs. Huddlestons conquest cul- minated her third attempt to ne- gotiate the channel. Last month she participated in the Wrigley marathon swim in which a S15,0O0 prize was offered for the first woman to cross the channel. She was taken from the water after she had cover cd about two-thirds of the distance.
 Mrs. Huddleston was the only one Of four starters to reach the main- land. Peter Meyer of Cincinnati who put off from the island isthmus at 4:05 D. m. Saturday, gave up eX- hausted at 6:22 p. m. Sunday when he was two and a half miles from the goal. Mrs. Charlotte Schoem- mell. of New York. who started at 6:29 yesterday morning, abandoned the swim shortly bufore noon after covering approximately six miles. The third unsuccessful swimmer was Miss Martha Stager of Portland. Oregon, who gave up at 7:5S Sunday morning after covering 10 1-2 miles. Miss Stager who swam farther than any other woman entrant in the Wrigley marathon, started from the island at 9:21 Saturday night.
 Surrounded by flowers sent by admirers Mrs. Huddleston was rest ing last night in her apartment un- der the care of nurse. She was visibly nervous but said she felt no iIl-effects from her strenuous swim. She said she lost seventeen pounds during the ordeal.

T H A N K s :!

MATTER how great it grows IN every industry is ultimately made Of unmade by public opinion. Witness the raising of Chrysler by public approval in three years time from 27th place to 4th place among exhibitors in the National Automo- bile Shows.
 T'wenty-three long-established motor cars suPplan,ed because the public found in Chysler evidences of pro- gressiveness which spelled greater value.
 By the spontaneous action of public opinion old standards were over- turned, old ideas of engine efficiency, artistic appearance and general per formance discarded and the newer

tained brilliant performance and long life everywhere under any and all motoring conditions. At first the attempted competitive explanation of Chrysler was that it was new and probably one-year car.
 Now the wish to give the public cars that look like Chrysler and perform like Chrysler has become almost a rout and panic of emu lation and imitation.
 Mir. Chrysler and his organization appreciate the leadership that has been awarded to them and realize it's responsibilities. They will keep faith with the public which has shown faith in them. ,7sa

Rural Electrifcation Demands Cooperation

use of electricity to lighting.
1T is up to agricultural colleges,
manufacturers of both electrical equip
ment and farm implements, and last,
but most important of all, the farmers
themselves, to cooperate with the
power companies in bringing about
rural identification" he said
Experimental lines in 20 states
built by power companies have shown
that there are more than a hundred
practical ways for use of electricity
on the farm.
"Nine-tenths Of the cost of bringing
electricity to the farm is in distr1bu-
ton, and farmers should not be fooled
by those who talk about developing
water power as an aid to bringing
electricity to the farm. If electricity
could be produced for nothing 1t would
have little effect on the cost of serv-
ice to the.farmer, for the costs of dis
tribution greatly outweigh those in
Cured by generation of electric en-
ergy."

Forestry Department
AT W. S. C.. Enlarges

During the past year the nursery of
the forestry department of the Wash
ington State College has been consid
erably enlarged as consequence Of
federal money received under the
Clark-McNary Forest law, according
to Charles M. Genaux, assistant in
structor in forestry.
1.-THE bulk of the trees now being
grown in this nursery are particularly
chosen for farm planting in the form
Of windbreaks. shelter belts and wood
lots, according to the intent and sub
stance of the federal law" Mr.. Genaux
explained Demand for this stock has
been increasing rapidly during the
past few years and 1t is expected a
much larger increase will result from
the impetus furnished by the Clark
McNary legislation.
1.-THE expenditure of federal appro-
priations has decreased the produc-
ton costs of the trees to the state and
consequently lowers the price for
which the trees can be sold to the
farmers. Among the common varie-
ties ready for distribution are: black
locust, Norway maple, silver maple,
red oak, English oak, honey locust,
Austrian pine, western yellow pine
and Douglas fir.

Some people seem to feel that it is
difficult to put chains on their auto
tires. Many motorists buy these acct
dent prevention devices and then fail
to use them. According to Charles E.
Hill, vice-president of the National
Safety Council, even children can put
on chains almost in less time than it
takes to describe the process. Some
girl members of the headquarters staff
Of the safety institution recently dem
onstrated how comparatively simple it
is to drape the chains. over the tire,
so that the hooks just about touch
the ground at the rear; move the car
forward until the connecting hooks
are about foot above the road, con-
meet first the inside and then the outer
hook as tightly as possible by hand
and when the automobile starts roll
ing, the chains loosen up bit which
allows them to creep on the tire.

"THE Pacific Northwest produces
foodstuffs which Germany must
have" said Fayette Airport recently
in Seattle, "and Germany is in bet
ter position today to buy them than at
any time since the war" This is the
opinion of the American Commercial
Attache who came here from Berlin.
About their only handicap to trade
now is high interest rates. If suitable
credits can be arranged in this coun-
try, there exist reliable firms in Ger
many who can do larger volume Of
business While statistics on our
trade with Germany last year do not
altogether bear this out, since they
show heavy decrease over the pre-
vious year, the fact remains that Ger
many took most of the apples we ex-
ported. Out of 1,338,000 boxes e1-
ported from Washington, three hun
dred nineteen thousand went to- Ger
many and four hundred Thousand to
the Netherlands, many of which were
destined for Germany. England took
three hundred twenty-four thousand.
leaving comparatively few for the
rest of the world.
Germany is cited here as being
more or less typical among the coun-
tries of Europe when considered as
markets for our products. England
is of even greater Importance to US.
Last year England took 100000
pounds or half our exports of canned
salmon; 100000 bushels OF wheat,
being about two-ffths Of our exports
of that item; 11,500.000 pounds Of
canned pears or practically all we
exported. England Is also our princi-
pal market for doors. Important as
the Orient is to US, and even though
our greatest value of trade is with the
Orient, Europe is a potential market
of the greatest magnitude.
Last year Washington shipped d.
rect by water to Europe thirty.nine
and a half million dollars worth Of
goods, an increase of one million eight
hundred thousand, and this in spite Of
the great decrease in Germany's trade.
Exports to Great Britain were almost
twenty-one millions, an increase Of
four hundred thousand dollars; to the
Netherlands three million six hundred
thousand, which is the double of what
it was last year. France and Belgium
both showed remarkable percentage

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE,

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE,
Pullman.-Fertility of western soils
cannot be maintained unless plans are
made by the farmer to return as much
nitrogen to the soil as is absorbed by
the plants in the growing process, de-
clares DR.. S. G. Vandecaveye, bac-
teriologist at the State College expert
ment station. Seeding and harvesting
the same crop has Slapped the nitro
gen supply and yields are growing less
yearly, he says.
"There are both natural and artifi-
cial means by which this nitrogen can
be made available. The simplest is
the natural method or through the use
of 1egume plants. Included in this list
are the alfalfas, clovers, sweet clovers,
peas, vetches and beans. The roots
Of these plants are covered with no.
dulles which contain bacteria capable
of taking nitrogen from the air and
starting on natural process which
makes it available for the use of other
plants.
"Legumes are a good cash crop.
They make an excellent feed and are
also we'll adapted to pasture. They
are not difficult to grow provided
they have plenty of nodule bacteria on
their roots. Without these they can
not use the atmospheric nitrogen and
are no more adapted than cereals to
soil building.
"Legume bacteria are not present in
many soils but can be introduced with
out difficulty. The best means of in
trocution is to use laboratory cultures
of the bacteria. This may be mixed
with the seed at planting time and in
this manner is sure to be we'll distrib-
uted over the field. To encourage the
growing of legume crops and for the
convenience of farmers of Washing

Faulty equipment is direct cause
Of many automobile accidents, states
the National Safety Council, which
urges motorists to have their machines
inspected and overhauled regularly.
Brakes should be kept in efficient
condition all Of the time. Tests should
be made at frequent intervals
Chains are especially essential dur
ing winter weather. Number plates
should be kept clean.
Motorists driving cars with noisy
mufflers are violating the law in most
communities.
While bumpers will not prevent acct
dents, they will lessen the damage due
to collisions.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1927-03-11

r F.. Pack, president of the National
Electric Light Association, emphasized
the fact that in order to bring about
rural identification on any appreciate
scale, both the power companies and
the farmer will have to look on the
farm as factory, and apply electricity
in a multiplicity of ways to increase
output and cut labor costs the same
as 1t has been done in the city fac
tories.
He pointed out that it is an eco
nomic impossibility to deliver small
amounts of electric energy to scat
tered farms at reasonable price, and
that failure of most rural lines in the
past has been due to farmers limiting

other countries.
1t was pointed out just recently by
DR.. julius Klein, director of the Blu
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, that forty.eight per cent of
United States exports in 1926 went
across the North Atlantic as COM
pared to only twelve per cent that
went across the North Pacific, and
nine per cent to Latin America. Eu-
rope still is the United States most
important overseas market For
many years to come the Pacific North

export of raw products and foodstuffs.
and for these products Europe is the
most logical market.
In view of our intimate trade rela-
tions, Seattle merchants are going
more and more frequently to Europe.
sonal contact is all but necessary to
develop trade. Next summer there
will take place several events which
promise to be of outstanding import
ance to us. Ono is the international
Economic Conference to be held in
Geneva in May, to which all nations
have been invited. and where there
will be discussed such topics a. re-
strictions and regulations OF. COM
MERGE, international combinations or
cartels and methods of reducing costs
of production. There Is little doubt
that this will reduce to some extent
at least the friction which now slows
down the wheels of commerce, and
will thus stimulate larger volume Of
international business.
Another event will be the meeting
in the early summer of the Interna-
tional Chamber of Commerce 1T Stock
holm. The Pacific Northwest has been
represented at these meetings prac-
tically every year. and one or two
delegates have already signitsd their
intention of going this year. An ado
quate participation by the Pacific
Northwest in these meetings will
have far-reaching effect on our trade.
While the effect cannot be counted
in dollars and cents, our presence
there will help to make this distant
corner Of the world better known in
Europe, while our participation in the
! discussions will increase our prestige.
