"I can da it," he said, and expressed the opinion that it would take him at most 75 hours to accomplish the feat.
Elaborate preparations have been made for the attempt. Zimmy ex- plaining that he had expended about $25,000 all told.

Zimmy has many achievements to his credit and claims at least two world records. By remaining in the water for 100 hours and 15 secs, ho bent the previous endurance record hell by Mrs. Myrtle iludderston by nearly 14 hours.

Men allow their wives to choose their clothes, drive them in cars (a horrid. sight, this. The inac- tive male crouched like milk churn beside his wife ut the wheel). They let them continue their careers to the neglect of their homes.
Men do not know how helpless women love to be. How they adore the strong man who will say with loving firmness, "Darling. this isn't your job. It's mine!" and how happy they are when kept in their place. Men are too lazy nowadays to be master. The henpecked husband is rare, he- cause he takes care to 'do nothing to cause a peck. The henpecked Victorian husband was leas wise. He felt he ought to be master, and tried to he, and became the victim of the female contempt for the man who can't boss.
