French Wonan's Plan to Use Motorized
Suit Is Last BLOW to Channel Swimming.
BY JOHN LARDNER-

This letter couldn't have con-
tanned anything more important
than "X marks my Office, wish you
were here" or else the mayor OF
Dover would have sent IL by the
conventional postal routes.
He first intrusted it to couple OF
inferior swimmers, who failed to get
it across. Figuring that the mayor OF
Boulogne must be getting impatient,
he finally handed it to Miss Duncan.
Miss Duncan set out for France, ac-
companied, despite the protests Of the
C. S. A., by a male tenor who stood
in the stern of tugboat and sang
Mother Machree" and When Irish
Eyes Are Smiling" all night long.
Miss Duncan delivered the letter,
and the ancient, dignified tradi-
tons OF Channel swimming received
a blow from which they never re-
rOvered.

A SIMILAR example of frivolity

the Giants in position where,

have to capture 20 out of 20 to tie
them at the finish.
Fred Fitzsimmons continued to be
poison" to the Dodgers by beating
them for the fifth time this season.
He granted only five hits, and a wild
throw by Gus Mancuso played a big
part in depriving him of shutout.
Dean was practically the whole
show for st. Louis as he completely
shattered a LINK" that had beset
him for over a year. He had not
beaten the Cubs since July 80, 1888,
when he famed II of them for a mod
ern major league record; but he did
a thorough job of it yesterday, giving
only six hits, striking out six and
losing a shutout when Gabby Hartnett
belted a homer in the fifth.

THE Yankees picked up a half

Makes Great Comeback.

TINE selection of Rainbow is the
result of one of those miracles
of sport where a seemingly
hopelessly beaten craft came from
behind to win out coming down the
home stretch. Built this past Winter
from the designs of w. Startling Bur-
CESS by the Herreshoff Manufactur-
ing Co. at Bristol, R. l., where all of
Americas cup defenders have been
constructed since 1893, Rainbow was
an odds-end favorite for the selection
when the preliminary racing began
In June.
However. in the last race of this
series, Yankee took the measure of the
Vanderbilt boat by So seconds, al
though she was later disqualified for
a foul occurring at the start. From
that day on until the Aston Cup race
of Newport on August Is the Yankee
won every official meeting of the two
boats.
All the time Vanderbilt and his or
ganization were experimenting with
the new boat. First they added nearly
200 feet of canvas to her sail spread,
then before the New York cruise a
flexible boom built on new principles
was swung for the first time and,
finally, the night before the Aston Cup
race Skipper Vanderbilt was per-
suaded to put five tons of ballast in
the sloop.

II Camera had been willing to go
through with the fight" they prob
ably would have had to shed Lasky
out on his ear, because Art couldn't
purposely miss, instead of actually hit
his "foe" as the director insisted.
Finally they agreed to let Lasky pull
his punches and hit the ight-heavy
on the shoulder. He pulled his
very first shot so poorly that he near
ly cracked the other fellows collar
bone. with the result filming had to
be suspended for a day.
Nor could he dive realistically
without actually being hit, and it
finally wound up with Lasky sticking
out his jaw and letting the other
fellow smack it in order to give Art,
as he put it, momentum to fall
over"
Nope. There's no acting about this
Lasky. He loves fighting and they're
the kind of boys you usually find

CONSTIPATION With
DELICIOUS CEREAL
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Brings
Relief

Look out for headaches, loss OF
appetite and energy, sallow COM
plexions, sleeplessness. Frequently,
these are warning signs of common
constipation. If neglected, your
health may be impaired.
Today, you can rid yourself Of
common constipation by eating a
tempting cereal. Laboratory tests
show that Kellogg's ALL-BRAN fur
nishes "bulk" and vitamin B to aid
regular habits. ALL-BRAN is also
rich in iron for the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL BRAN is much
like that found in leafy vegetables.
Within the body, it forms soft
mass. Gently, this clears out the
intestinal wastes. How much bet
ter this is than taking patent
medicines!
Two tablespoonfuls Of kLL-BRAN
daily will usually overcome most
types of common constipation.
Chronic cases, with each meal. II
seriously ill, see your doctor. ALL
BRAN makes no claim to be "cure-

Serve ALL-BRAN as a cereal, or
use in cooking. At all grocers. In

After Uncle Wiggily had made a

brella for a sail, his little bunny
rabbit children, and other animal
girls and boys at the seashore,
learned to take trips on the ocean
in another way. Buster, Custer and
Muster, with the help of Duster,
made a large raft on which they
floated about in the little bay, or
cove, near the rabbit gentleman's
seashore cottage.
"Will you give us a ride on the
raft" asked Baby Bunty one NOR
ming when Buster and his brothers
were getting ready TO start off.
Come along" invited Muster.
Off on Raft
So Baby Bunty, with Jingle and
Jangle, and many other animal
boys and girls climbed on the raft.
With long poles Buster and Custer
pushed il out from shore.
A raft is a sort Of flat boat, you
know, only it has no engine, motor,
or sails, so the only way it can move
is TO be pushed. Though, Of course,
a raft river will move along with
the current, going as fast as the ri

Soon the raft Of happy animal
children was far out from shore,
bobbing up and down on the waves
The waves in the bay, or cove
were not as large as the waves in
the open ocean farther out. If the

PARIS, July 26. U.P)-Americans

The age of "Whoopee" is as
dead as the "Flapper", the Char

whether there is just no longer

Cafes and restaurants find that
the changed attitude of tourists
is for the better because Ameri-
cans on their first visit to France
are showing more interest in
French wines.
The head man" in any local
restaurant will tell you that there
are more inquiries about different
wines than ever before. Tourists
evidently are checking up on the
wines now obtainable at home and
also looking for pointers on what
to buy when they return to the
United States.
Reflective drinking" now seems
to be the keynote. There also is
practical business reason for the
satisfaction expressed over the
1884 tourist. BY refraining from
too much strong liquor he has a
