GIRL WILL START TRAINING NEXT WEEKFOR SWIM Tides Worst Foe in Crossing Treacherous French Waters. EDITORS NOTE: Lillian Cannon of Baltimore, sponsored by The Indianaoolis Times and other Seripps-Howard newspapers, is in training for an attempt, to swim the English Channel this summer. llu .Y KA Service BALTIMORE, Met, May 19.—Lillian Canrron is on her way to France now, charged with the ambition to be the first woman in history 'to swim the English Channel. A week more will see her training haily in French water for the most arduous leat of swimming known to man. Just why the Channel swim should be such a tough proposition is hard to understand if one is not familiar with its amazing tides. It is only twenty-two miles from Dover, England, to Calais, France, and alittle more than twenty from Dover to Cape Gris-Nez. But the tides are strong—there is iio bucking them —and the water is cold, never above 60 degrees, mostly colder. And when you stop to consider that the fastest time ever made by,a channel swimmer was 16 hours and 33 minutes, you gather some idea of the punishment that Is absorbed by those who try it. Captain Matthew Webb, an Englishman, who subsequently lost his life braving the Niagara rapids, was tho first to conquer the channel. He made it in 1875, in 21 hours and 45 minutes*- and amazed the entire swimming florid by accomplishing that supposedly impossible feat. Thirty-six years elapsed before another man was able to emulate Webb's achievement. William Burgess, another Englishman, who is now In charge of Lillian Cannon's training, crossed it in 1911. Trials have taken place each summer since then, except for a period during the war, but not until twelve years after Burgess turned the trick did anyone else succeed. Then strangely .enough three candidates accomplished it in quick succession in the summer of 1923. Henry P. Sullivan of Lowell, Mass., was the first of the trio. He reached his goal after a hitter struggle of 28 hours. Next came Enrico Tiraboschi, an Argentinean of Italian descent, who set the world record. He was followed by Charles Toth, a

PRINCE ALBERT has been such a revelation to men who thought that they were pipe-happy that three pipes are smoked today where one was smoked before. That’s a fact, Men, just as sure as little bees buzz and polliwogs have tails. And you don’t need a degree from Oxford to figure out the reason: The Prince Albert process cuts bite and parch pos-i-tive-ly and Prince Albert quality makes it the National Joy Smoke. That means you can cram this fine old favorite into the bowl of your jimmypipe and turn on all five tubes ~. go to

by two sharp promontories. Swift tidea sweep the course laterally, running eastward and westward, back and forth, for periods of nearly six hours in each direction. Asa consequence the swimmer does not proceed in a straight line, though he aims for a definite point. The flood and ebb tides force him one way and another so that he dscribes a huge zigzag.

It’s Rhubarb Season

Remember! . . . those sweet-tart rhubarb pies . . . and delicate, rosy-hued sauces . . you always enjoy along in the early spring ? Well, rhubarb season is here again, and housewifely lingers are doing all sorts of interesting things with the firm slim stalks. Try this splendid recipe: Rhubarb Raisin Pie (a big favorite with husbands) One pound rhubarb, one cup seedless raisins, three-fourths cup sugar, one tablespoon flour, one-eighth teaspoon salt. Wash and dry rhubarb but do not peel. Cut Into small pieces; mix with raisins and sift over all the sugar, salt and flour; stir well. Trrn into pie tin lined with pastry and strip \r. top with pastry cut about one inch wide Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees.) Pic baking is one of the chief arts of an oven heat control gas range. You never give the baking a thought—not even to glance in at the oven door! When you buy anew range, of course you’ll get one with this accurate-cooking feature.

He must approach the opposite coast inside a narrow lane and on a favorable tide, else he will be car ried irresistibly outside the landing area. Tiraboschi had luck with him. Had he been 30 minutes slower he would have got within a thousand yards of his goal and then been carried away from the shore by adverse tide, as he was on his attempt the summer before.
