Houses built for a family Of
four or five persons should have

Adjustable Shelves

When planning bookshelves in a
new home, it may be well to have
them adjustable, so they will con-

Ck1PPERs from the Old Domin-

~ Yacht Clubs, who have taken
advantage of Spring weather
and have their sailboats in trim
week earlier than usual will meet off
Halns Point this afternoon for the
Warm-up regatta which the Potomac
River Sailing Association has organ
lied as previeW of the regular series
that begins next Sunday.
Not content with working the slide
rule at the end of each race for the
last two years and devising handicap
systems that will arouse a minimum
of squawks, Paul Tomalin, a member
of the Race Committee, has been busy
designing trophies to be presented to
first and second place winners in each
class.
Trophies for the last boat to finish
in the various classes have been PROM
ised, but just what they might be was
not announced. Another prize to be
called the Bottoms-Up Trophy will be
placed in competition. It's to be
awarded to the first boat that capsizes
on the course.
How many boats will be on hand
when the 10-minute warning gun is
fired at 2:05 from Adrian Sizer's
Adonis is problematic. However, last
minute activity around the crane at
Capital indicates that a good number
will represent the comet class, the
class A and B handicaps and the
20-foot open class.
The latter group will start the race,
beginning at 2:15 o'clock. The comets
cross the line five minutes later with
class B following at 2:25 and class A
at 2:30.

Sail Boats to WASHINGTON.

THE following April a small group
OF the Corinthian lads sailed two
OF these boats to Washington and
after full season of hard work
cleaning, painting, sewing canvas and
many other nautical chores-were
ready for launching them. At that
time they were christened the Bob
cat and the Wildcat.
Since then, every Summer they
have cruised to the lower Chesa-
peake Bay, sailed into every Potomac
harbor and raced in every contest
sponsored by the Potomac River Sail
Ing Association and the President s

= Tip, however, it is doubtful if any
sailors in the vicinity receive the
nautical training that these sea scouts
receive during the season. Prelimin-
ary land training includes marlinspike
seamanshlp, nautical history, pilot
ing, compass work, signaling, first
aid, cooking and study of maritime
law. The first water training comes
with instruction of rowing in their
l8-foot whale boat, which six oars
men stroke. Every scout must row
properly before he is taken on cruises.
The real kick, for old-timers as we'll
as beginners, though, comes on the
Summer cruises, when they sail into
