Reckless spirits have rowed, motored, skied, bicycled, tricycled, glided and even walked over the 21-mlle strait. In 1875 Capt. Matthew Webb was the first to swim it in 21 hours 45 minutes. A Mr. Terry peddled from Dover to Calais on a floating tricycle a few years la ter. Then a Frenchman dropped a wheel and cycled across In seven hours on a paddle-wheel bike. The world hailed Blerlot's first flight over the Channel in 1909 but paid less attention to Jacob Boulig, a German, who filled paddles to the wheels of an auto mobile and motored over in 1935. A Viennese schoolteacher walk ed across wearing six-foot canoe shaped shoes and Fredrlch Wal ther did it on water skiis, using metal drums attached to bamboo poles. An English clergyman, Sidney Swann, rowed It In three hours 10 minutes. But the Ideal lazy man's cross ing has not proved successful. A Mr. Mason of Dover tried it in 1936 but gave up after paddling 13 miles on a floating mattress. Children's Togs Selections Noted School children are finding this year's clothing selection greater and the prices lower, Roseburg clothing retailers re port. Back on the shelves after a pro longed absence during the war are boys' cords, an all-around fa vorite school apparel; jeans, and brush wool swealers. Merchants agree that the chil dren themselves are doing most of the selecting this year, rather than the parents, and slate that the girls are becoming much more conservative in their choice concerning prices. Mothers are noticed by mer chant as purchasing more piece material for making dresses for their daughters than In the past few years and the junior misses are said to be definitely styling their wardrobes on the pattern of their older sisters with slight ly longer skirts, plaid wool dress es and both slip-on and button sweaters. Skirts and sweaters are reported to be in greater demand j than blouses this year, while j those purchasing wool dresses and suits go in for vivid colors with blue and green In high fa. ! vor. Still on the "hard-to-get" list are anklet socks, much In de mand by younger boys; silk slack socks, and colored and luud patterned-T-shirts which are favor ed this year over the white shirts. Palestine is proportionately the most populated area In the Mid dle East. The Holy Land has 142 persons per square mile, as com pared to 44 for the United States, 190 for Europe and 500 for the United Kingdom.
