Carole Lombard has started
her fall wardrobe plans. Travis
Banton is, of course. the au-
thority on all the sketches, and
one outfit will combine two of
the most important fabrics in
the fall plan, sheer wool and
corduroy. Incidentally, this
corduroy fad is spreading from
hats. frocks, shoes, bags, and
various types of wraps to furni-
ture, for it makes the "smarteSt
sort" of slip covers, according
to Carole.

Gloves Essential
In MovIeIond

In Mary Boland's late summer
wardrobe gloves play an i'm
portant part. Gradually they
have increased in Importance
and are now an essential even
to the most informal Hollywood
costume. The smarteSt colors
for gloves are black, navy blue,
or white, and from these three
colorS each costume should be
"gloved."
There is absolutely no doubt
that the most intriguing hats
for fall and winter will be berets
or adaptations thereof. Evelyn
Venable has had a striking toque
designed along these lines and
the fabric is dark green Lyons
velvet. The hat gives a very
Rembrandt effect, which is espe-
cially becoming to Evelyn, what
with her classic type of beauty.

lowing year, but lacked financial backing
Alexander Cuthbert, who had designed
the Countess Of Dufferin, challenged
with his sloop Atalanta.
Atalanta, manned by amateurs, was
no match for the iron sloop Mischief,
which had paid crew OF Scandinavians
who had been on her several years.
Cuthbert also tried to challenge imme-
diately, planning to refit his boat, but
the defending club changed the rules
so a beaten challenger couldn't keep
coming back. The deed of gift Of the
trophy then was changed to eliminate
Canada and barring losing vessels for
two years.
In 1884 the Royal Yacht Squadron Of
the Isle of Wight challenged again, but
this time they offered two vessels. In
event Sir Richard Sutton's Genestra was
beaten, another challenger was to be
ready in Lieut.. william Henn's Galatea.
Oddly enough, the Americans accepted
the double-barreled challenge. The de-
fender chosen was the Puritan owned
by Gen. Charles Paine and designed by
a young and unknown naval architect,
Edward Burgess, who since then has
won fame as the designer of the fastest
sailing vessels the world has known.
The Genestra lost her part of the
race and the Galatea could not be put
in condition in time to compete, but it
was only through the sportsmanship of
Sir Richard Sutton that the cup re-
manned here. In the first run, the
Puritan tried to bluff the GeneStra by
cutting across he's bow in an effort to
make her put about and get off to a
delayed start. But the Briton refused
mainmast in the crash that resulted.
The Race Committee signaled the
Genestra to go ahead, cover the course
alone and take the contest through the
disqualification of the defender, but
Sir Richard wanted race or no cup.
He went back to England without the
Americas cup, but he took along a
dozen or 50 others, having lost only
that one contest In a long season
spent in American waters.
THE following year Lieut.. Henn came
back with his Galatea, which was
fitted out as a permanent home for him
and his wife. Gen. Paine built the
Maydower as an Improvement over the
Puritan and again won.
The next year, 1887, James Bell, owner
Of the Thistle, challenged through the
Royal Clyde Yacht Club Of Scotland
and Gen. Paine went for the third time
to Burgess for defender, this time the
result being steel sloop called the
Volunteer. Bells Thistle lost and was
sold on her return TO Europe to Kaiser

sent an informal letter, neglecting to
forward it through a club, and outlining
his own terms. He wanted the defender
limited to the size of his own schooner
and to be sailed to England for the
season at Cowes and Ryde, then race
the Cambria back across the Atlantic
and three times around Long Island.
He offered to bet cup just like the
Americas trophy on the result. For
five years correspondence was carried
on which grew more bitter with each
letter and finally the Cambria came,
unlimited, to New York in 1870. At last
the New York Yacht Club agreed to a
race under conditions which almost
duplicated those under which the
America captured the cup. Ashbury had
Of q boats around New York Bay. The
old America was there, sailed by crew
of midshipmen and carrying Navy rig
instead of one of yacht type. Cambria
finished tenth and America was fourth.
Ashbury went home embittered, and
threatened, while building new boat,
the Livonia, to get every yacht club in
England to challenge for her, victory
in any race giving him the cup. The
New Workers retaliated by agreeing to
enter only one defender, but choosing
four of the fastest boats of four distinct
types, selecting the one on the day of
the race which was best suited to the
weather.
The contest was held in October, 1871,
and the Livonia won the first race and
was leading in the second when the
Columbia, defender for the day, luffed
instead Of jibed at the turn, thereby cut
ting in ahead and winning by 10 minutes.
Ashbury protested that he had made
the turn in accordance with recognized
racing practice, but the defenders
calmly announced they cared nothing
for recognized practice, they had laid
down no rules and were in the race
merely to win. They said it was his own
fault If he wanted to be sporting and
lose. Ashbury won the next race and
lost the last two, but he claimed the
disputed one should be run over. When
the defenders laughed at him, he sailed
the course alone and claimed the cup
by default. The row became so bitter
that the New York club gave him back
three cups he had put up on his pre-
vious visit. It was IS years before the
British again tried to lift the cup.
However, Canada challenged twice in
the meantime. The first was In 1876
when Maj. Charles Clifford brought his
Countess of Dufferin to New York and
lost two races being beaten in the
second not only by the defender,
Madeline, but by the old America, which
carried q full racing crew. Maj. Clifford
tried to challenge at once for the fol-

Wilhelm II who raced her under the
name of Comet until the World War.
The first families of Wall Street en-
tered the field in 1893 when the Royal
Yacht Squadron Of Cowes challenged for
Lord Dunraven's valkyrie. A syndicate
which included the elder J. p. Morgan
and w. X. and +. w. Vanderbilt, built
a tremendous keel boat, but it lost
out in the trials and vigilante, owned
by c. o. Iselin Of New York, was chosen
defender. Lord Dunraven lost in three
races and protested because of the
swarm of excursion boats. But the pro-
test was ignored.
In two years he was back with q
new Valkyrie to meet the Defender,
built by Iselin and the Vanderbilts.
Lord Dunraven accused the Americans
Of underhanded work in taking on
secret supply Of ballast just before the
first race, but the protest, although
argued for a year or more, was thrown
out by the committee of the New York
Club. valkyrie won the second race
after collision, and Iselin's protest was
upheld this time. Dunraven, enraged,
refused to run the third race, turning
back at the starting line and allowing
the Defender to win by default.
Then Sir Thomas Upton entered the
lists. His first challenge came from the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club of Belfast. He
sent over the Shamrock ], which was
a mere shell of boat. Her hold was
so braced for the trip across the Atlantic
that man could not crawl below decks.
Again J. P. Morgan and Iselin were the
owners of the defender, the Columbia.
For the first time the races were held
without bad feeling and Upton went
home an honorary member Of the New
York club, and with an invitation to
challenge again as soon as possible.
This he did two years later when his
Shamrock II met the Columbia, which
was found better than large number
Of boats built to try for the defense.
Then he returned in 1908 with Shamrock
III and met the Reliance, owned by q
syndicate which included Cornelius VAN
derbilt, Ebert II. Gary, James J. Hill,
p. A. b. Widener, William Rockefeller,
w. B. Leeds and Henry Walters. The
Shamrock not only lost the races, but
lost herself In fog in the last run
and came in hours later.
THEN came Iull Of II years, partly
due to a lack Of interest by the
great mass Of the sailing gentry because
Of the extreme specialization which re-
suited IN challengers and defenders at

nothing below deck except bracing an
ballast.
The America sailed for England on
June 21, 1851, with a complement Of
13 men to defy superstition. Capt. Dick
Brown, Sandy Hook pilot was in COM
mand George Steers, the designer. also
was on board.
Three weeks later they reached
Havre, where they were met by Com
modore Stevens, the managing director,
who had her refitted and her stem
altered.
On the night of July 81 she started
for Cowes. She was forced to spend
the night riding. at anchor in the Solent,
six miles from their destination. and
when the morning breeze dispelled the
fog the English cutter Laverock was
waiting for race back to port. Com
modore Stevens accepted at once and
beat the Laverock so decisively that
within a few hours the America had
the popular reputation Of being able to
beat anything Britain had in the
water.
THIS first little informal victory spelled
defeat for the Americas syndicate's
plans for financing their expedition by
the rewards Of competition. The Eng
lish respected her speed, but they were
distinctly unimpressed by her looks.
They didn't like the rake Of her masts
nor her hull lines.
But their respect for her speed was
too great to please the Americans. For
three weeks Stevens was unable to find
. competitor willing to race the
America. Then he posted a notice that
he would race any schooner In Europe.
But no schooners in Europe cared to
race. After time sufhcient to prove the
reticence of schooners had passed, he
broadened the offer to include cutters
also. But none nibbled at the bait.
Finally, he announced that he would
meet any boat in Britain, of any type
or classification for an even-money bet
Of anything from $500 to $4,000. When
no one accepted in three weeks, this
offer was withdrawn. Finally, however,
Stevens got race with Robert
Stephenson's schooner Titania for $500
even money. They raced 20 miles to
windward and return. The America
lost her fore gaf and had to stop for
repairs, but she crossed the finish line
with So minutes to spare.
The British press and public by this
time were clamoring in denunciation of
their country's yachtsmen, calling them
unsportsmanlike in fearing to meet the
phantom" from across the seas. The
yachtsmen replied that the America was
mere shell, and an utterly impractical
boat. But the answer to their defense
was that she was practical enough to
cross the Atlantic, and had won her
first race in Europe fully loaded with
stores and supplies.
Thoroughly disappointed by their
failure to get races, the Americans en-
tered their boat in the regular regatta
Of the squadron which was to be run
around the Isle of Wight. The British
had every advantage, since the course,
for more than half its distance, was
marked by peculiar tides, currents and
land winds. But the America found the
winds to her liking and came in winner
over the II other contestants by dis
tance of 2 miles. The British protested
on a technicality, but a committee
upheld the Americas victory.
The trophy was the comparatively
Insignificant Hundred Guinea Cup" and
it came into the possession of the owners
OF the America on August %, 1851.
Three years later the owners presented

Western Union
Cuts MESSENGERS
Pay by DismiSSaIS
BY a Telegraph Worker
Correspondent

NEW YORK.-Western Union is
again cutting our wages.
In my Office they have laid off
all the motormen, whom they hired
in the winter, when we bicycle mes
sengers were unable to make the
scheduled speed-up on deliveries Of
kilograms. These men were given
promises of permanent jobs with
the company. AS result many
bought new cars, with the inten-
lions of paying for them on the in
stallment plan, but were forced to
give them up after paying half the
price. Many of them have wives
and children. They have no place
to turn to.
The Western Union now offers
promotion to its new messengers.
They hire new boys and paw them
two schedules lower than us. and
also give them 10 per cent less on
errand services. They tell these
boys that after they have worked
IN the company a half-year they
will get an increase in schedule and
aCtan tne starvation wages which
we receive now.
Nor are we the only victims. The
company is making the same at
tacks on the living standards of
the clerks by cutting their hours.
No longer does seniority count. What
does count is their membership in
the company union. Many clerks
have been laid off. They did not
belong to the company union. There
is much transferring from one
place to another, many clerks be-
ing dropped in the process.
Among the messengers there is a
terrific turnover, the older mes
sengers leaving and younger ones
replacing them at lower wages.
MESSENGERS unite in the
Telegraph Messengers Union and
prevent the worsening Of our al
ready miserable working conditions.
