Alex Jany’s record-breaking efforts on the French Riviera last September, when he set up a world's 100 metres record of 55.8 seconds, and a world's record of 55.85ec., and a world's 400 metres record of 4min. 35.25ec. mark the 18-year-old Frenchman as the best Olympic swimming prospect. W. J. Howcraft, writing m Vvorld’s Sport, has the following: “. . . I believe Jany is today the greatest all-round swimmer the world has seen. Before he hangs up his racing suit in retirement, he will set up a string of records over Ml distances which will make Johnny Weismuller's performances appear third rate.” CUT HIS THROAT! He was shaving—and his throat was sore. It was while swallowing that the razor slightly cut him. "I must get another tin of BANTS,” he muttered. '‘They’ll ease my swallow!” BANTS wonderfully relieve coughs, colds and huskiness—only 9d a tin everywhere. Manufactured by Stacey Bros., Ltd., 385 Khvber Pass Road. Auckland.
