Fulcher not only wo the most popular member of to him, however, to realize that he had been able to do without food long er than any of his friends. For years we had ambitions people risking their lives snd their health In an attempt to swlra the English chan nel. Finally aome super human Indi vidual succeeded, snd now It Is no feat st all to swim across thl rather turbulent water way. Why anyone should wsnt to do It and what virtue or good of any aort there la In the feat when It has been accomplished. I cannot see. Just recently a fellow townswoman of mine won s rocking contest For sn Impossible number of days and nights with only brief Intervals for rest she sat In a rocking chair keep ing up a constsnt motion while neigh bors snd curious onlookers bet on the outcome, or psld to see how long she could keep np the sgttstlon. And now I am told she Is staging rocking marathons. Of what value such s contest can be to society or to the human race I fall to aee. There may be some value In seeing how long sa airplane can remain In the air without fueling, or how fast a horse or an automobile can get over tbe ground, but how many hours or days two people can dance, for In stance, without food or sleep, seems to me of no value or real Interest to anyone.
