Ex-Swimming Queen Gives Safety Tips 1909 Queen Aids In Red Cross Campaign; NEW YORK UP -4-t The energetic little woman put down a heavy cardboard box tied 'with rope, crossed her trim ankles arid asked, “who else has a better right” to talk albout swimming safety?" The box, she said, was full of yellowed newspaper clippings she never got around to pasting in a scrap book. Her talks on swiirimireg saifety held “a little extra glamour” for students because she U'sed to be a swimming queen herself, she added. Not a 'bathing beauty, you understand. The year was 1909. .Adeline, Trapp, a 100-zpound Brooklyn schoolteacher, caused more commotion’ then in her one-piece bathing suit than ’Marilyn /Monroe would today in a Bikini. .‘‘The police wouldn’t let me come out of the water once (because somebody had stolen the long-black stockings I’d left on a rock,” she recoiled. Someliody botight her another pair. But then, as now, she regarded batning beauties with some suspicion. “I imagine a lot of them never learn how to swim,’’ said the present Mrs. Adeline Muhlenberg, 64. who isj still able to swim several miles at'a stretch. Once she reigned as queen of Hell Gate, because she was the first woman to swim the treacher ous Hell Gate Channel leading to Long Island Sound. She joined a /men's swianming group at Hasings-on-H,udson another time to swim down the Hudson River to -Manhattan. “I stopped when I got to 23rd Street, 28 miles later, because it was no fun swimming alone,” she recalled. She kept emphasizing that all the exploits were important to her now only because they help convene© youngsters that s/he knew what she was talking about when ..she lectured on safo swimming. v As a speaker for ‘the Brooklyn chapter of the Red Cross in theiF annual water safety campaign. Mrs; ! Muhlenll>erig apices familiar rules with personal history. iShe got a medal for rescuing a youngster from drowning when she was in her early teens, (but she doesn't advise jumping in to rescue a swimmer in distress “unless you know you can take care of yourself in the .water. Why (make a tragedy a double or a triple tragedy? Throw out a rbpe, gef take off your clothes and |iq them together to make a rope . . , do anything (but jump in the watet unless you’re a good swimmer.” I Women ar© safer swimmers thhn men, she believes, because they’re more cautious and less inclined to show off. ; 1 “Isut I don’t recommend a two-
