Many Prizes
BUENOS AIRES. Feb. 16.—liliss
Lilli'an G. Harrison. the 20 year old
Anglo-Argentine girl who swam
across the River Plate December
22. the first person to accomplish
the feat. hopes to set another rc-
cord by being the first of her sex to
swim the English Channelr She is
planning, with the backing of the
Argentine Athletic Federation, to
leave for England in May and at-
tempt the crossing during the En-
glish summer.
Enrique Tiraboschl. the Italian-
Argentine swimmer who swam the
channel last summer and who ac-
companied Miss Harrison 9. part. of
the distance acrossthc Plate, be-
lieves she will succeed in her new
venture. The distance she had to
Swim across the big_,South Amer-
ican river was 26 1-2 miles in a di-
rect line, somewhat less than the
channel swim, and1 according to
Tiraboschi. the channel currents are
no more difficult to muster than the
Plate currents, though somewhat
colder. Tiraboschi himself, in an
unsuccessful attempt to traverse the
Plate about two years ago. was
failed by them.
Miss Harrison won cash prizes of
7,000 pesos. two cups and a. gold
medal for her feat. She accom-
plished the distance in 24 hours
1:: 1-: minutes. which is claimed
to be the world's record for per-
manence in the water by a. woman
swimmer. as well as for distance.
She started in the morning from
Colonia, on the Uruguayan side.
and landed the next morning near
La. Plata. east of Bueuos Aires. Her
father accompanied her in a launch,
while relays ‘of men swimmers cs-
corted her in the water. She kept
a. pace of 27 strokes a minute. cx~
ccpt whcn stronger currents com-
pelled her to increase it to 30. and
her course was approximately di-
rect.
For food Miss Harrison took
black coffee. orange Juice and a.
vegetable concentrate. tossed to her
from ime to time in nursing bot-
wnen she touched bottom in
the broad shallows on the Argen-
tiuo side she fulfilled. without any
seeming difticulty. a condition that
that to win her prizes she must
wade until she reached entirely dry
land.
The young woman scarcely even
rested after her exploit. going the
same afternoon to attend a girl's
athletic meet as blithc and vicacious
as if she had only returned from
an ordinary swim. She did not
seek sleep until her usual bed-time
hour.
“I did not train for this event by
swimming much.” Miss Harrison
told an interviewer. "I trained for
it by taking Swedish drill three
times a. week for several months.
What I wanted was endurance, for
I know how to swim. But I did not
let my muscles get too_ hard. I left
off the drill a. month before the
date for crossing the river. A year
ago I swam 21 hours downstream,

nothing like a piping hot biscuit
with melting butter to “hit the
spot" when you come home cold and
hungry for dinner. So far as that
goes. biscuits that are light and fluf-
fy and tender. with a rich. golden
brown crust. don't need to so beg-
ging at any time of day.
Making good biscuits is one of
those things that seem the easiest
thing in the world to (lo—When you
know how. You can throw them to-
gether in no time and hardly give
them a thought. ‘
The main points to be remember-
ed that the ingredients should be
cold. the dough should be handled
as little as poslsiblc and the oven
should be hot.
it is better to cut the fat into the
flour rather than to rub it iu.wltli
the fingers. because the hands end
it) warm up the fat. One of the
quickest and most conveni‘ t ways
of cutting it in E to use a b scuit or
cookie cutter. Of course; it is Just
a. trifle quicker to use the fingers,
especially when a. large quantity is
being made. If you cool off your
hands in cold water 'and take care
to use only the tips of your fingers
you can bet very'good results. it
is mainly a matter of keeping the
materials cold until they go into
the oven.
Mixing the dough is very impor-
tant. Enough milk should be used
to make dough that is cool)“ rolled
out but not sticky. The quantity of
milk depends on the kind of flour:
some kinds absorb more than others
Some people prefer to pat the dough
out with the hands rather than to
use a rolling pin. This methou
makes a rougher crust.
The kind of biscuit that is so
popular in the South. With the very
smooth. even crust. can be made by
using enough milk to make a very
soft dough and then rolling out on
a well floured board. A very small
cutter is usually used with this kind
The smaller biscuits. of course. bake
more quickly.
