NEW YORK, March 27.-The Eng

however. and not American English"

as reason for his belief the fact that
a large number of English actors are
being engaged for the talkies at Holly

Brown said that the English are crit

reason for his frequent appearance in
print becomes apparent.
The eyes of two continents were
focused on Capt. Adams in 1920, when
he sailed the American Cup contender.
Resolllte, over the finish line ahead OF
Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock ~ to
capture the international yacht races
off Sandy Hook, Those races will be
remembered as among the most bitterly
contested of all Upton cup competi-
tons Capt. Adams was beset with
difficulties at the outset, not the least
of these being broken halyard, that
forced his withdrawal from the first
race. but his uncanny seamanship in
the succeeding races carried him safely
through all hazards to glorious VIC
tory.
Again, only last year. Europe and
America watched with interest as he
donned his old yachting cap and
clothes once more and took the helm
OF the schooner Atlantic in the trans
oceanic race for the King of SPANS
Cup. He brought the trim craft into
Santander harbor second after long
contention with breezes that wouldn t
blow.
Anyway he remarked the other
day, sit was pleasant little trip
Yacht Decision Surprising.
In view of his love OF yachts and
yachting, nothing could have caused
more surprise than Secretary Adams
decision to dispense with the Sylph,
official yacht of the Secretary of the
Navy. Maybe one of the reasons for
retirement of the Sylph was her lack
of anything resembling sail Mr..
Adams is not fair-weather, steamer
chair skipper. When he puts to sea he
likes to get into salty toys and take
his turn at the wheel or the canvas.
In this respect he Is like Postmaster
General Brown, who, too, has gained
renown as racing skipper Mr.
Brown has confined his activities to the
tiny catboat, however.
In gaining a sea-going Secretary of
the Navy America has not lost its out
standing yacht racer. Secretary Adams
declares that his action in taking the
Sylph out Of commission does not mean
that his seafaring days are over.
Quit the ssa? Certainly not" he
said. II still have q yacht Of my own
at Quincy. Her name Is Sally the

SECRETARY OF NAVY ADAMS
SFRINKS FROM PUBLICITY
Believes Press Should Tell OF
Work Performed by
Officials.
Decision of Yachtsmen to
Dispense With SyIph
Caused Surprise.
BY REX COLLIER.

Charles Francis Adams, the new
Secretary of the Navy, shrinks from
personal publicity because he adlleres
T. to the possibly old-fashioned belief that
the public would rather learn about the
Office than the man.
He has granted very few interviews
to the press since becoming head OF
the naval establishment, and has
capitulated to the camera army with
the greatest reluctance.
He explained his ideas on publicity
in one of the aforesaid few interviews.
Il don't see why the newspapers pay
SO much attention to the human side
of public officials" he said leaning back
in the big chair but recently vacated
by the brother of fellow cabinet men,
ber He moved his hand toward pile
of letters and other documents on his
desk.
1t seems to me the papers could use
their space more advantageously by
telling their readers about the work
which those officials are called on to
perform he added
He was thinking perhaps of the COL
umnS which have been printed about
him in the past few weeks, Of the fea-
lures which have been written about
his distinguished ancestry, his spec
tacular career as amateur yachtsman
and his various other human interest"
attachments.

Whether true or not. the story pub

ers is indicative of his aversion to the

when Secretary Adams was requested
by the cameramen to write some
thing" so as to provide little action"
he scrubbed on piece Of paper the
epigram:

Garner Sees Problem Solved

Congressman John N. Garner sees hope OF solution
Of the Valleys farm labor problem In the Johnston
bill recently passed by the Texas legislature.
The bill In question sets a license fee on labor agents
so high they will be unable to operate in the state
and the congressman believes this will do more than
conserve the supply Of labor now on hand.
Labor agents will be required. under the new Texas
law. to pay a state license fee of $1,000 and a county
license fee of s25oO for each county in which they
operate.
Being unable to pay this prohibitive Zee, LABOR
agents vii be unable to enter the Valley and entice
workers now here away to compete with skilled LABOR
in other sections OF the United States.
Th,s will cause labor organizations TO modify their
onnosition 10 laborers entering the United States, Con-
gresham Garner believes. lie foresees that ~ may

II now Is possible TO import skilled laborers wnen

Garner argues the same rule should apply 20 farm

The reason he thinks this may be permitted with
the Johnston bill In operation Is that farm labor so I'M
norted never would come in competition with laoorers
further north. There would be no labor agents ~
this section 10 entice them away.
Garner also thinks the farm relief measure may

Two Texans on Deck

Sen. Tom Connally and Minority Leader John ".
Garner are In the headlines OF the press OF North
America Texas appears to be coming into its own.
Connally says the tariff is a bounty. This is admitted
on all sides. If the manufacturer is entitled to a
bounty why not the farmer2 II the lumber king is
entitled to a bounty. why not the farmer? If the
railroad kings are entitled TO bounties. why not the
farmer If the financial interests are entitled to
boumties. then why not the farmer?
Champions Of a high tariff or a bounty system Of
government insist that all Americans should be treat
ed alike. Then why denounce the export debenture
plan as unsound and uneconomic and at the same
time hand fat bounties to the makers Of things under
the skies OF America. AS for the minority leader with
IS years splendid service behind him, he agrees with
the junior senator from Texas that the farmer Is en-
titled to real protection and not fake protection.
TO be exact. that II a bounty is the thing, then the
farmer should be given his share Of the rich picking.
