WASTES NO TIME.
WORLD’S SWIFTEST GIRL. The fleetest girl in the world hails from Japan. Miss Fumiko Terao exchanged her kimono for running shorts and earned her right to the title of “swiftest girl alive” when she won the 100 metres sprint in the All-Japanese Sports Carnival held recently near Tokio. Miss Terao’s time was 10.4-5 seconds. Charlie Paddock’s time for that distance is only two-fifths of a second faster, and Paddock is called “the fastest human.” Fumiko has beaten all men runners of her own country, and all the best women runners in the world.
