Although the news has not yet reached the majority of American interior decorators, a change is coming over the fashion in parior keepsakes. The chip from the base of the Sphinx, the vial of water from the Red Sea, the bag of dust from the Catacombs; they are all doomed to go. The thing to supplement the pictures taken at the beach is now the family collection of "priceless and cherished symbols of American sport achievement," as the New York store sponsoring the idea calls them.

He had enough to think about, for placid though the waters looked, they were full of treacherous tide-rips and cold eddies which dragged him about like a chip. It was the rips and eddies, not the idle shark, that made John Radowich signal to be lifted out, after three hours of strenuous swimming had taken him only six miles. . . . Other aspirants to Mr. Wrigley's money followed Sailor Radowich by boat, including one Bodie Blewett, svelte bobbed...
