 When Mrs. Schoemmei climbed out of the Deauville pool here yes- terday afternoon at 5:2a o'clock she had shattered the American record Of 90 hourh formerly held by Bill Erickson. Of New York. and the worlds record of 3l hours made by Miss Edith Johnson in ~Blackpool. England--a mark that had stood for l7 years.
 At the end of her long effort, Mrs Schocmnel averred she could have remained in the water still longer.
 She had entered the water at o;2s Saturday morning. She was clad at the end of tho swim in a white wool bathing suit which she had been compelled to substitute for a coating of grease which melted away in the water that was warm when she began her swim.
 The last gesture Of the swimmer before leaving the waster was a brisk sprint around the pool. the smooth failing of her crawl stroke denoting that her energy was not impaired.
 Coffee, tea and bouillin, fed to her he nthor suy1y,, vs>rr pYovided her sustenance while in the water.
