The SPORTING WORLD

Annette Kellerman, a Phenomenon. The wonderful young woman athlete and swimmer from Australia, Miss Annette Kellerman, has beaten all records for distance in a trial on the Danube river at Vienna, swimming a distance of twenty-three miles in about 13 hours, aided partly by the river’s current All previous records for women swimmers In no way approach the feat of Miss Kellerman, ajid she now rightly claims the title of champion long distance woman swimmer of the world. She Is now twenty years old, five feet

ANNETTE KELLERMAN DIVIN[?].

seven inches in height and weighs 140 pounds and is a splendid example of physical development in a woman without destroying the finer feminine lines. Still, her muscular development is such that she shows wonderful strength and endurance. The young woman has been swimming from childhood. At fifteen she won the amateur mile in Australia and after winning all the other amateur championships there became a professional. Last year she made an attempt to swim the English channel in emulation of Captain Webb’s feat In 1875, but the severe buffeting of the waves forced her to give up after covering six miles. Barney Olddeld's Retirement. In speaking about bls future plans Barney Oldfield, the famous auto racer, said recently: “I do not like to be quoted as retiring from the game, but I find that after a long lay off I lose my eye, and it takes considerable training to get In shape again. My contract with an auto company expires late In the summer, and I have already signed a contract to go out on the road with the ‘Vanderbilt Cup’ theatrical show, which has had such a successful season In Ootham. "I don’t mean to say that I intend to retire altogether from the automobile M*jne, but only from the circular track racing feature. I shall continue in the automobile business in some line or other and may be seen In an occasional road race. I eannot say at present whether I shall drive a car in the Vanderbilt cup race or not. The company with which I am under contract at present has not as yet entered a car, and as 1 have received no word from them Ido not expect that they will. If they conclude to do so, I suppose, of course, that I will be seen at tbe wheel. “My chief reason for getting out of tbe racing feature of tbe game is because of the enforced training that it takes after a long lay off to get back my eye and nerve. I feel as though I am gradually losing my nerve, although I sm.at present in as good form as I ever was and expect to break the record for one mile at either Indianapolis or Chicago. "I was very much disappointed at not being able to secure a place in which to hold a meet in Cincinnati, as

TV' -• V. *-V ■>, «•. ' ! I Mbs' tits town andThave many pl«a£ ant recollections of It from my old bicycle days.” ’"S' "" ' '' ColMtbi«*a Trainer. Columbia university has yet to choose her track athletic trainer for next season, but the almost unanimous opinion is that Josh Crooks should be re-en-gaged and have a fair chance to show what he can do with the team. Everything considered, evea the big scores rolled up by Princeton and Pennsylvania in the dual meets, were not such terrific defeats. Few trainers have had the disadvantages that Crooks struggled under, and that he developed such good men as Zink, Sanders, Greene, Brodlx and a few others or got the rest into shape was a remarkable feature. Reward For Heckbelmer. Cornell has presented to H. Heckhelmer, ’O6, captain of the fencing team, the privilege of wearing the university “C” for the good work he has done in fencing at Cornell for the last four years. Heckbelmer has been a member of the team since his freshman year and has done all he could to establish the foil sport as a prominent feature of varsity sport. The award Is popular. Dempsey In Demand. Several rowing clubs are endeavoring to secure the services of Pat Dempsey as coach after his time expires with Georgetown university this year. The principal club that wants him Is the Ravenswood of Long Island, which desires Dempsey to put the finishing touches on Fred Shepherd, their champion sculler.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

To Wart Has Carpet*. Take the carpet from the floor and beat it thoroughly to remove the dust, then take the widths apart and wash one at a time. A good washing machine and wringer are great aids In this. Heat a boilerful of soft water and add enough good washing powder to It to make a strong suds. Put one width of the carpet In the washing machine, pour the suds over It and wash until the water Is dirty. Pass the carpet through the wringer, wash in the second suds prepared In the same way as the first, then rinse through two clear waters. Each strip of carpet should be treated In the same way. Ingrain carpet can be washed in the same way. White Counterpanes. Wash In plenty of hot soapsuds, rinse thoroughly and blue. Hang In the sunshine, pinning evenly on the line until almost dry. While still slightly damp fold evenly twice or more and lay on the ironing board or kitchen table, covered with a sheet, then smooth out with the hands until perfectly free from wrinkles. Place over it now a heavy board with a clean cloth between board and counterpane, then weight it with several Irons and leave for twelve or thirteen hours. Take off the weights and if not perfectly dry hang over the clotbeshorse or line until It is. Five Gruel Recipe*. Cornmeal gruel: Mix a tablespoonful cornmeal, half a teaspoonful salt and two tablespoonfuls cold water. Add a pint boiling water, simmer slowly one hour, strain, add milk and sugar to taste. Stir well and serve. Arrowroot gruel is made the same way, but cooked only ten minutes. Oatmeal gruel: 801 l one hour and strain. Farina gruel: Use half milk instead of all water and boil for one hour. All gruels are best boiled In double boilers. Flour gruel made same as cornmeal, only boiled tan minutes.

Paint Pot Attachment. When painting It comes natural to wipe off the paint brush on the top edge of the can, from where the paint gradually runs down the sides to the floor. By introducing a circular wire rim of smaller diameter than that of the pall and elevating it slightly above the outer edges of the can the painter Is provided with an attachment for re-

BBUBH CLEANER. moving the paint from hie brash with no danger of It eventually trlnkllng down to the floor. Instead it drops directly Into the paint can. The wire is supported on four small uprights which fit over the top of the can and are held In place by clamping screws. The uprights swing freely on the rim, so that one. attachment will fit on many different sizes of cane. Salad Dressin*. One teaspoonful of mustard, one teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfulfl of flour, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of powdered sugar, a few grains of cayenne, one teaspoonful of melted butter, the yolk of an egg, one-third cup of hot vinegar and one-half cup of thick cream. Mix the dry Ingredients and Kdd tbe butter, egg and'vinegar slowly.

Cook over boiling water, stirring eon-' stantly until the mixture thickens. Cool and add to heavy cream, beaten until stiff, B*r*x Stnreb. One of the simplest forms of starching In a case of sudden need Is the nee of borax water. A quarter of a teaspoonful of borax In half a teacupful of cold water will give a dressing like new to embroidered cuffs and cottars, or even those made of linen. Dip the article you wish to starch in the dissolved borax, wring and roll in a dry cloth for a few moments, then Iron. Superfluous Hair. Get an ordinary five cent cake of pumice stone—not pumice soap, but the regular old fashioned pumice stone. To remove the hair, rub the skin afflicted with the superfluous growth and the pumice stone will wear the hair off. Be careful not to rub too bard, which Irritates the skin. In case the skin Is made red by the treatment use a little cold cream. Good Way to Give Castor Oil. Put a tablespoonful of orange juice into a small tumbler, pour in the requlred amount of oil and more orange Juice on top. The oil forms a ball In the middle of the juice and is swallowed without coming In contact with the tongue. Baked Milk. Milk put Into a stone jar, tied down and put Into an oven and baked for several hours Is very nourishing for Invalids and delicate children, and tastes almost equal to cream.
