Damp Distinction : NEW YORK; Aug. 2—-1t is fine and refreshing to these bleary eves to see the commotion starting again over a. husky young doll's chances of swimming the patient old English Channel. I notice also that miniature golf: is springing up again, #70. and all may not yet be lost in a world

sitting may be just around the corner, Miss Shirley May France is the newest candidate for damp distinction, and much fuss is being - made oyer her: I understand she is a homeloving girl,’ who wants neither fame nor fortune ‘for herself, that she i§ kind to her mother and delights in wearing blue’ jeans and loafers. This is completely in the tradition of Miss Gertrude Ederle, now middle-aged, ill and deaf. f I. do not believe that even Lindbergh's Atiantic crossing stirred up more fuss than Miss Ederle’s two shots at the channel. When she failed in the first: ome, -it was a national. catastrophe, subject to more frenzied bulletins ~'than a royal romance. We ‘covered Miss Ederle “ke we covered World War H,.
