DEFENDER'S SKIPPER L BORN TO WATER AND BRED TO SAILOR LIFE
NEW YORK. July 15. Charles "Francis Adams, 2nd, the man at the wheel -who will try to-Bteer the Resolute to victory la her first race In 'defense of the America's cup off r Sandy Hook, today, is characterized by experts as the premier American yachtsman. He has owned more than a score of yachts and has sailed nearly 100, email "and-lrge and some of these have been the best boats of their class In-America and the world. Mr. Adams is treasurer of Harvard "university and a member of the cor"poration, a director In many companies and in personal charge of trust estates amounting to many millions. Years ago he became known to yachting associates under the nickname of " beacon," and some of them Btlll call -him by that name. . Born at Qulncy, Mass., he came of a it long line of sea-faring men and lnherlted a love of the sea. He is credited ' ' with calm Judgment and a high type .','of sportsmanship. His father used to : : take him sailing in Boston Harbor ' when ho was a child and by the time ;; he was 12 years old he was winning graces with his small boats. In those : days he learned a lot about the tricky -,;slde of races, for rufes were lax. i In later years Mr. Adams built and ( Bailed to victory many notable yachts ;,most of which bore names composed s;;of seven letters with a double o, such ; as the Papoose, Baboon, Gossoon, JIarpoon and Rooster. - Sent Brother Almost to Sea. He was at the wheel of the famous
Pilgrim when she sailed a race against ' the Vigilant and Jubilee for the honor of defending the America's cup In '1893. He sent his brother . George, C mate of the Pilgram to the leeward rail .to watchvthe jib. sheets as the yacht I drove along In a smoky southwester. '.; She heeled so hard that Geore eoon ; ptood In water up to his knees, r "Hey, there, Deacon." he yelled, "It's getting deep out here." :, "I 4on't care if It comes up to your neck, you Btay there till I tell you to come out," replied Captain Charles. But the Pilgrim was defeated. There may be a happy omen In the fact that Charles F. Adams years ago Mocked the aspirations of one little Scotch cutter, the Minerva, which came to America and defeated a number of American boats In 18ft0. Her victories were regarded as ominous -nd suggested to yachtsmen the possibility that a larger boat of her type would be sent to jcarry away the America's cup. Tne Minerva was Hailed by Charlie Barr, the lamous eklpper, who defended the cup as skipper of the Columbia In 1901 and the Reliance In 1903. But Captain Adamg with his little Gossoon Btopped the victorious career by winning two out of three races. Captain Chrlstianson, the professional skipper of the Resolute, has palled with Mr. Adams before. He was quartermaster of the Pilgrim In the race of 1893 and won Mr. Adams' approval by going out on to the gaff, a dangerous position, to fasten a sail that became loose while the race was on.

When' s A Spoon, Not A Spoon? Answer by U. 5. When is a teaspoon not a teaspoon? The Department of Agriculture's answer is; "When it is measuring baking powder or other ingredients making up the delicate concoctions of friend housewife." A series of tests Just completed by the Office of Home Economics showed a variation of from 126 to 150 teaspoons of baking powder in the same one-pound can, according to the vari
ous types of spoons used as measures. The tests further showed the differences due to individual manipulation ranged from 10 per cent to 30 per cent, a wider range of variation than those due to the different capacities of different teaspoons. To put an end to the discrimination which permits some cooks to get so many more teaspoons of ingredients out of a pound than others. Secretary Meredith appealed to the Bureau of Standards for assistance. The bureau, which decrees the standards of all weights and measures, has fixed five cubic centimeters as the theoretical quantity a teaspoon hol4s. Under this standard, the spoon should be filled "level" and not "heaping."

THEGrand'Pa88 from New York City to Canada lies up the Hudson River and Lake Champlain, where lived the dreaded Iroquois. Between the head of the river and . the foot of the lake is a Portage (as the rough paths between the lakes were called,) that has become famous in history. Its soil has been trodden by the feet of such men aa Champlain, Johnson, Abercromble, Montcalm and Burgoyne. In the wars between the French and English, it echoed with the war whoops of brutal savages and the cries of helpless pioneers and settlers. During the Revolutionary war it played an important and historic part. It wu to experienced pathfinders, the Indian guide and trappers, that our ancestors entrusted their safety, their canoes and their baggage on their perilous journeys of exploration and setdement. Especially in traversing the Portal, were keen eyqs, quick ears and sure feet needed.
