A TINY NAIAD
TWO-YEAR-OLD CHAMPION Few children will contest the claim that Marjorie Best is “the world's youngest swimming champion.” Marjorie is two years and two months old, and the daughter of a professional swimming instructor, Mr. Jack Best, of Detroit. On a voyage from America to England she swam the length of the liner's swimming pool, 45 feet, every day. She goes into the water off the diving board, preferring thqf to walking in. Her father was formerly champion of Lincoln, his native county.
