However. in yacht racing a student

most lines of sport because scientific
deductions of known qualities can be
drawn and the deductions are general

unknown quantities-weather condi-

staged and the handicap of time

Fewer than 10000 will see the

to a decrease of interest in the classic
of the ocean but is the result of the
scarcity OF sightseeing vessels and the
smaller capacity to which the available
cnes are limited by the new safety
laws
Private yachts by the score, excur-
sion boats. steamers and all kinds of

| To refute the general impression. II
1 might be said that the sail area does
not determine the handicap. In every
line of sport an attempt Is made to
have the opponents as nearly match
ed az possible: for example, the
weight divisions among boxers.
For the same primary purpose,
yacht racing rules fix a maximum for
breadth and draught and the length
of the water line. When those speci-
fications are exceeded penalty is i'm
posed in the nature OF a handicap
figured mathematically in ratio to the
excessive measurements.
Comparing one with another in dis
placement. Shamrocks sail area isl
greater. But while her sail area of
10000 square feet does seem to be
excessively lofty. the effect of the i'm
mense centerboards now fitted on her
offsets any possibility that she may
not stand up and be a very saft boat
This leads to the fact that when you |
have reached this size craft you can |
have a very fast light weather boat |
and with a centerboard she will be J
able to stand up in the strongest |
breeze.

Advantages for Defender

BY her peculiar construction tho
Ia teral resistance of the challenger is
greater than Resolute's. This will
give the defender the advantage on an

After all it resolves itself into a

SHELBYCOUNTY MAN SAYS JEFFERSON HAS HER OWN TROUBLES
Sheriff Jackson Does Not Relish Referring to Stills as of Shelby County
 Type"

To the Editor of The Age-HeraId {;
 I notice quite often in the papers of Birmingham and especially is this true of The Birmingham News. thatswhen a still is captured in Jefferson county. they are referred to by the writer of tSese articles as being of the Shelby county type
 Now as sheriff of Shelby county I am frank to say we have enough sins 10 atone for without having piled upon us the antiquities of Jefferson.
 Why does not the writer of these ar- ticles refer to them as of the type of some found in his own county, for ins- tance as the type found beneath or in the new postoffice building, right in the heart of the city of Birmingham, or perhaps the type found in the Colias building right in the center of the ac- fivities of the city, or the type of a great many others found in jay bird $ call of the courthouse in Birmingham.
 If Jefferson was without sin she might then be able to sit upon her lofty pinnacle and with some degree of consistency point finger of scorn at her sister county of Shelby, but being as she is the fountain head of illicit distilleries we do not feel that she should try to de- tract from her own unsavory record along this line by referring to her mum erous plants captured 'as of the shelby county type"
 If the newspapers of Jefferson dn- cluding some of the officers would take time to sweep around their own doors they would not have quite so much time to spend looking after the morals and interests of dear old Shelby.
 It might be of help to some of these parties so grieved or interested in Shelby county to read the little reminder ir the Bible, where the fellow is com manded to remove the beam from his owr eye so that he might see more clearly to pluck the mote from his brothers eye.
 So the next time let the writer refer to the stills captured in big blustery Jefferson as the Birmingham postoffice type, or the Colias type, or some of the many other types originating in Jeffer- son county.

 Annual Meeting

Considerable interest among the col ored teachers is being shown in the ap- preaching session of the Alabama State Teachers Association, which is to be featured by two novel programmes.
 An educational, industrial and voca- tional exhibit that will represent the best effort of the schools for Legro education has been encouraged by prominent white and negro educators. The exhibit will be placed where the white educators and the white people interested in negro educa- tion can, with convenience, inspect it.
 State Rural Agent J. $. Lambert has directed all the rural supervisors of in dustrial education and the fourteen negro county training schools of the state to prepare the best exhibit rosslble.
 Spright Dowell, Superintendent of edu-
 cation of the state, has sent request
 to all county and city boards of educa-
 tion requesting that the cclored teachers
 be given leave with usual pay to attena the demonstration work and the exhibit of the association
 This is to be the largest effort yet made to present the work of negro education
 in the state of Alabama.
 Dr. J. II. Phillips, superintendent ol Birmingham city schools; Dr- N. R. Ba- ker, superintendent of Jefferson county schools; Prof G. W. Trenholm, super visor of negro county training schools,
 have encouraged the exhibit/ More than twenty-five counties, the fourteen traiing
 schools and several demon national ansi independent institutions will take part in the exhibit
