Channel Crossed
In Various Ways
LONDON (IP) There's more
than one way to cross the English
Channel. 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.
The mihrab, or niche Indicat
