This story about Miss Lorna Whittelsey, the young yachtswoman, is the last of six articles by Earl Sparling on women who have had interesting experiences under unusual circumstances. Previously Mr. Sparling has interviewed Mrs. James L. Clark, Miss Gloria Hollister, Miss Jean Kenyon Mackenzie, Miss Caroline Singer, and a group of airplane hostesses.

Skimming before Ihc breeze —a typical yachting picture. Above, Miss Lorna Whittelsey after she’d won a race on Long Island sound.

BY EARL SPARLING Times Special Writer VTEW YORK, June 22.—Back sixty years ago the young gallants of the New York Yacht Club decided to hold a ‘Ladies’ day.” This, it seems, was quite a dare-devil innovation and required much preDaration. What with getting the boats tuned up, new uniforms measured and all that, they had a busy time__, of it. The day dawned brisk and fine. The fleet, polished to perfection, was ready to go down the bay.The only thing that kept the innovation from being a charming success was that the ladies were lacking. *Not a belle could be found who would risk her life and her complexion to the wild waves below Staten island. Times have changed. There ore girls today who, given half a chance and a couple of the breaks every helmsman needs, can outsail any man in the eastern waters. There is, for example. Miss Lorna Whittelsey of GreenwichConn., who at T 9 has been cailed ‘‘the best woman sailor this country has ever produced.” Should you ever hear Miss Whittelsey aboard a boat in Long Island sound with a crew of men jumping to her orders—men much older than she —you would believe it. “Ready, about.” she sings. “On that backstay.” “Get that jib in.” And the Corinthians she bosses jump. If they don’t jump, she is likely to say something a bit more salty. To those on shore she seems scarcely feminine. The racing craft sweep by under skyscraping canvas. The shore crowd gasps as a tenmeter boat jibs at the last moment, fairly leaping away from a collision. Suddenly there is a little cry from some spectator: “Why, that’s a girl sailing that boat.”

TT TAKES observation to dis- -*• cern that. For the “best woman sailor” goes to sea in no feminine outfit. She wears a soft man’s shirt and a pair of rumpled jumpers. She acts like a man, and at a hundred yards she looks like one. Her overalls are even trimmed tight at the bottoms to add to efficiency. One must scrutinize her face, her flowing blond hair, her blue eyes, to know that a mere slip of a girl is at the wheel. : Lorna Whittelsey started sailing when she was 6. Her father, H. Newton Whittelsey, took her sailing in an Indian Harbor one-de-sign boat. She and her brother Souther, were the crew. They both had to wear lifebelts. It was two years before the father would let either one try “skipping.” Later the father got an Arrow class boat, slightly smaller than the customary six meters, and the children tried their hands at that. And Souther, better known as Chick, got to be such a sailor that he was chosen as one of the crew of the ketch Lismore when the Lismore sailed in the last transAtlantic race. And Lorna got to be such a sailor that she was able to beat the best of the men at their own game. It is claimed along the sound that no one knows wind and tide and the rule of a boat better than this slip of a girl. No one can set the pole of a spinnaker more properly, and when the canvas must be yanked out of stops, she knows when. She can fit a sail to a boat as most young things would choose a dress. And after is all over she can change to a dancing dress and dance with the men she has defeated. When she has changed from sneakers and jumpers to highheeled slippers her vanquished opponents have to look twice to be sure they know her.'

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

\ SWEET young thing, still in school, but for two winters now she has sailed in the frostbite fleet—that queer armada of eleven-foot dinghies that puts out to race every week-end in the icy waters of November through February The “dink” racers sail when most skippers are glad to have ( their craft safe in drydock and themselves beside a warming fire. There is an inner society called “The Loons.” To be a “Loon” one must capsize in the middle of winter in Long Island sound. Miss Whittelsey belongs. NoP 1 only has she capsized in the dead of winter, but in March, 1932, she took her “dink” out at Manhasset bay when only two other skippers would brave the weather. In a near gale she drove on top of a mooring spile. There was no motor launch at hand. She sat calmly in her settling boat until a rowboat could be found and hurried to the rescue. And when they had taken her off they had to convince her it was more important to get her to a fire than to save her lost dinghy. She has sailed in Long Island sound when the “dinks” had to be chopped free from the ice. Four years out of five she won the Mrs. Charles Francis Adams cup. That cup, given by the wife of the former secretary of the navy, is emblematic specifically of the Massachusetts women’s sailing championship, but in reality is the highest trophy any woman sailing against women can obtain in America. In the 1931 race her crew consisted of her younger sister Myrtle. 12, and another Greenwich girl. Miss Edith Wills. Then in 1932, just when another victory would have given the cup to her permanently, she lost to Clara Dinsmore of the Edgartown Yacht Club, Vineyard Haven, who had been runner-up the year before. a a a MEANWHILE, however, she had been taking other honors. During the 1931 New York Yacht Club cruise she was in charge of George G. Milne's 58-foot sloop Branta. And in 1932 she proved that she needed no odds. That year, skippering Lucius Eastman's 30-foot Axon and bossing a threeman crew, she won the interclub championship of the sound. There were some two dozen men skippers against her, all of them just a bit doubtful about having women in a race that for years was a man's race. She beat the lot of them, and they included some of the best men sailors on Long Island sound. Times have changed incredibly since that gentle period in the 70s, when the New York Yacht Club tried to hold a “Ladies’ Day.” Almost every yacht club along the Atlantic coast now sets aside certain days exclusively for women and girls. Back in the 70s a girl braved the waves at Long Branch for only a few moments at a time, and she braved them shrouded in a flannel bathing suit, ankle-tied bloomers and sun bonnet. The feminine sailors of 1933 "are garbed usually in overalls, but often in the briefest pants, held up by a couple of crossed handkerchiefs. There are hundreds of these feminine tars. Edith and Helen Wills also have graduated into the interclub class in the sound and their Shorty 11 can be seen out in any kind of weather. Marie Iselin learned sailing as deckhand fQr her brothers, and now she sails her own Ariel and defeats them in an even race.

Cupid Is Money Saver Marriages of Teachers Bring Dismissals and Thereby Conserve School City’s Meager Funds. CUPID’S darts can accomplish economies for the Indianapolis school city that budget pruning can not. And school officials gladly would welcome a little more aid from Cupid in these times of budget worry.

Policy of the school board against renewal cf contracts of women teachers who marry, already has affected ten teachers, according to Paul C. Stetson, superintendent of schools. Every matrimonial venture is a direct saving to schools, because the board is not authorizing any replacements in teaching staffs in the coming year. Resignations of the ten to get married this summer will save the schools approximately $20,000. This calculation is based on assertion of A. B. Good, business manager, that a reduction of fifty teachers from the pay roll will slice SIOO,OOO from the 1933-34 budget. The board recently ordered a reduction of fifty in the teaching force, including those coming under the marriage clause. ‘ Cupid does not seem to be doing hia best this year,” Stetson explained. ‘‘Resignations, because of marriages, are fewer than in previous years.” ROBS PAL, IS CHARGE Missing Man Accused of Attack on Lifelong Friend. By United Press CHICAGO, June 22.—Sidney Johnson, 68, of Indiana Harbor, was sought today on a charge of slugging his lifelong companion, William E. Fitzgerald, an engineer, to obtain $l5O. Fitzgerald .taken to a hospital, told authorities that he and Johnson had decided to enter the soap business. He withdrew $l5O from a bank and he and Johnson were on their way to a man’s home between Hammond and Gary to purchase a truck, he said, when Johnson pulled a hammer and struck him on the head. Fitzgerald was found along the roadside. His condition was said to be serious.

NEW BANK MAY MAKESAVING American National Expected to Gain SIB,OOO on R. F. C. Action. Saving of SIB,OOO a year by the proposed American National Bank is expected through the contemplated reduction in the interest rate paid on preferred stock held by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Although not confirmed officially, it is understood that the finance corporation will accept 5 per cent, instead of 6 per cent, on stock which it will hold in newly organized banks, according to Elmer Stout, president of the Fletcher American National Sank. The American National now is being organized to take over assets of the Fletcher American, with the finance corporation holding $1,800,000 in preferred stock. Reason for the interest reduction is given as a decrease to 3 per cent from 3 1 : per cent in the interest paid to the government for funds used by the finance corporation.
