NEW YORK, April '23.-Miss
IN Eleanor Holm, one of the
youngest but one of the greatest
of Americas women swimmers,
has landed with a considerable
splash in the new ziegfeld Follies.
But not as a diving star, to pose
and plunge, or even as a pretty
bathing girl. Eleanor is to be cast
in little girl parts, with hair rib

1t was at the national swimming
championships at Long Beach,
CAL, last summer that Florenz
ziegfeld first saw Eleanor. She
never had given a thought to a
stage career.
But when Mr.. Ziegfeld began
casting the other day, he offered
the 17-year-old maid a job. AS
Stunning that he wanted her as a
swimmer. she refused. For that
might affect her amateur stand
ing, and, Follies or no Follies,
Eleanor had no intention of CIV
ing up competitive swimming.
Then it was explained that al
though she might have to hang
most of her clothes on a hickory
limb. Miss Holm wouldn't have to
go near the water. She has, M.
Ziegfeld assured her, plenty of the
necessary requisites - looks and
personality.
Standing 5 feet 2 inches, Flea

pounds and her method of train
ing is very simple. She doesn't.

lies. Miss Holm donned a bathing
suit and won the 300-yard medley

CenterS and Attitudes of the United States and
the Several States" but don't let that formid-
able-sounding title daunt you. For in this 265-
page paper-covered book by Edward NJ Doug
las you'll find more interesting facts than in all
the history and geography books you studied
at school.
It's q big country, this United States of
America. You'll never appreciate just how big
1t is until you read the statistics given In the
last two pages of Bulletin 3D. From Green
lands icy mountain to India's coral strand is
the familiar and poetical way of expressing
the extreme ends of the earth But the distance
suggested in that expression is as nothing COM
pared to the distance between the northernmost
and southernmost points in the territory over
which the Stars and Stripes float. Point Bar
row. the extreme north point of Alaska, is near
~ 5000 miles north of the equator and Rose
inlet in the Samoan group, the farthest south
American land, is exactly 1000 miles south Of
it. Claims that may be based upon the Byrd
explorations and discoveries of 1929-30 in the
Antarctic region may put the American flag
even farther south so that we may be able to
match England's boast Of dominion over palm
and pine" with one which mentions from pole
to pole"
Few of us may ever get the chance to go
from one end Of the American possessions to
the other, but in these days Of the automobile
and improved roads any Of us can get acquaint-
ed with the extent of the mainland" Of
country. Suppose you decide to make "circle
tour of your country-follow its boundary lines
until you're back where you started from. How
far do you suppose you will have gone? Exactly
1895 miles. Driving steadily at the rate of
40 miles an hour and putting in II hours
day it would take you five weeks and two days
to make such a trip.
Here's the mileage: Start at West Quoddy
Head, near PASSPORT, Maine, (the easternmost
point on the mainland" Of the United States)
and drive west following the northern bound
airy all the way, including the water boundary
through the Great Lakes until you reach Cape
Alva, Wash. (the westernmost point. BY that
time you will have covered 1887 miles. Follow
the Pacific coastline down to the Mexican bor-
der and you will add 2,730 more miles. Turn
east along the Mexican border and it's 2,013
miles until you get to the gulf Of Mexico. Fol
low it's shorene Of 3,641 miles until you round
Florida, then head north and after 5,565 miles
along the Atlantic ocean you will be back at
West Quoddy Head with 1896 miles behind
you.
Or if you don't care for the "circle tour" and
want to make direct route from the two points
farthest apart in the United States, start at
Cape Flattery, Wash, and travel southeast until
you reach a point the Florida coast south
of Miami You will have covered 2.a25 miles

"South Sea-" that is, the Pacific ocean, called
Mar del Sur (South Sea) by Balboa in 1913,
when he first saw it at place where the shore
line runs nearly east and west In 1909 no one
knew how far away from the Atlantic the South
Sea" was and some Of the other colonies had
charters stating the same western limit
Along the Atlantic coast Virginia extended
from point 200 miles north of Point Comfort
to point the same distance south. So at one
time Virginia owned all Of what is North
Carolina Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia,
MARYLAND, and Delaware and parts of South
Carolina Georgia, Alabama Mississippi, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. But in the
next century and half she lost large part
Of that territory. The Carolina charters of 1863
1855 took away from her the land south of the
present southern boundaries. Lord Baltmore's
Maryland colony deprived her of the Chesa-
peake Pay region. After the Revolution she
ceded to the new republic in 1884 the territory
northwest Of the Ohio river. In 1892 Kentucky
was organized as separate state by her con-
sent and in 1862 when the Civil war rent the
nation what is now West Virginia sepa-
rated from the mother state.
Indiana is another state which once COM
prised a vast area, including all Of Illinois and
Wisconsin, most of Michigan and large part
of Minnesota Perhaps the largest territory once
held by present state was that of Missouri.
In 1912 the name of the territory OF Louisiana
was changed to territory of Missouri and at the
time it included all of the original Louisiana
Purchase except the present state of Louisiana.
But gradually Missouri, territory and state, was
whitfield down, losing most Of Oklahoma and
Arkansas to ehe latter in 1919 and parts of
Texas Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico to
Spain in the same year. In 1884 Missouri lost
all of Iowa. and parts of Minnesota, North and
South Dakota to Michigan and in 1854 most of
Montana, the rest of North and South Dakota
parts of Wyoming and Colorado and all of Ne
braska to the latter and to Kansas, when the
Kansas and Nebraska territories were organized
In that year.
