San Diego Steno Breaks
Channel Swim Record,
Tries Make Return Trip
WISSANT, France, OP) — Flor
ence Chadwick, San Diego steno
grapher, swam across the English
Channel from Dover, England, in
the record time of 14 hours, 42
minues Friday and then immedi
ately started her return swim.
She hopes to be the first ever
to make a non - stop roundtrip
swim of the channel.
Actually Miss Chadwick did
come ashore briefly in France —
just long enough to eat an orange
and take some sugar. Then she
waded back into the water “to
see how much further I can
swim.”
Although she said she was not
tired she expressed little hope of
completing the return to Dover.
The successful attempt against
the official record of 15 hours 31
minutes held by England’s Tom
Blower came after about 25 post
ponements and one unsuccessful
attempt this summer.
Seattle C of C Chairman
Seeks to Aid Alaska Steam
Keep Passenger Business
JUNEAU, GP) — A1 Shyman,
chairman of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce’s Alaska division,
was here Wednesday trying to
find ways and means for the Al
aska Steamship Co. to continue
passenger business.
“The only possible source of ad
ditional revenue, I believe, would
be for the Alaska Steamship Co.
to get part of the transportation
of military dependents to and
from Alaska,” Shyman said in an
interview. “This business now is
being carried by the Military Sea
Transportation Service.”
“However, MSTS has refused to'
discuss the matter with the com
pany and the problem of water
transportation to the territory is
more serious than generally rec
ognized.”

DO YOU KNOW
THE LAW?
Ignorance No Excuse
DID YOU KNOW?
That a person who attempts to
induce a challenge to fight a duel
is guilty of a misdemeanor or that
you can be guilty of assault, even
if you do not actually strike an
other person. The least illegal
touching constitutes an assault!
DID YOU KNOW?
That it is a crime to wrongfully
obtain or divulge contents of tele
graphic or telephonic messages —
and also to tap the telephone or
telegraphic lines.
DO YOU KNOW? '
In computing federal income
tax, if an unemancipated minor
child’s $500 wages were received
by the parents, would this money
be taxable?
ANSWER—The $500 is nontax
able because the child is uneman
cipated.
DO YOU KNOW;
If a husband and wife hold real
property jointly (as tenants by
the entirety) and the husband dies,
does the wife have to go to court
to obtain possession of the prop
erty?
ANSWER—Where a husband and
wife hold real property together
as joint tenants or tenants by the
entirety (either or survivor) and
one dies, the survivor becomes the
owner without going through pro
bate court or surrogate court. The
property must be included in in
heritance tax proceedings, how
ever. This same principle holds
true in regard to bank accounts,
stocks and bonds and other per
sonal property.
DID YOU KNOW?
That a child under 16 years
(some jurisdictions 18 years) of
age cannot consent to coition?
The law refuses for the child!
Any person committing this crime
is guilty of “Statutory Rape.”
THE LAW IS A COMPLICATED THING!
THIS IS THE LAW in many areas or
jurisdictions. These items are not inten
ded to give you a complete answer to
your legal problems. Every case must
stand alone. CONSULT YOUR OWN AT
TORNEY for the answers to any ques
tions you may have.
