POISONING FROM. WHITE LEAD

For some time in the past a bitter struggle has been in progress in many European countries between the ern- ployers and the employers in the paint ing trade. The cause of this contention is the use of white lead, which the men say jeopardizes their lives and health and wieh the employers claim is harm less From time to ime the matter has been taken up by various labor organ izations, but there seems to have been made little or no, progress in. the right direction. Recently, at the request of the National Federation of Painters of France, M. Edouard Sataler, of the "Vie Illustrie" of Paris, investigated
 the mater, and it seems to have been proved beyond question that the pain ters have the right on their side.
 M. Sattler illustrates his article with many photographs of men who have been permanently disabled by the use of white lead in paints, one Of the pho tographs even showing the body or g painter who died from lead poisoning while M. Sattler was making his inves- tigation. The conclusion to be drawn from the facts presented is that white

A LESSON FOR SWIMMERS.

The first hot Sunday of the summer brought with it the inevitable list of drowning accidents. One of them may serve to point moral. Two young men essayed to teach a third how to swim. They preached to him the aged and time-stained theory that man should be able to swim as the beasts do, by mere instinct, and that the most direct method of melting instinct to efficient operation is to plunge over board in deep water, where swimming ] is essential to the preservation of the vital spark. | The pupil accepted the theory and dived boldly into some ten fathoms of instanteously demolished by the fact that instinct did not teach him to swim 1 He screamed for help and sank. His I preceptors bravely went to his res cue and thereupon instinct awoke and promptly taught him that he ought to 1 try to climb out of the water by way of the head of one of his friends.
 The result was that the two teach CTS had to break the grip of instinct and save themselves, leaving the un- fortunate learner to perish. The lesson taught by this narrowing incident should be taken to heart by all swim mers. The person who suddenly finds himself in deep water becomes fright ened, and no one who is frightened by water can learn to swim.
 The essential thing is learning to swim is to gain perfect confidence in the power of water to sustain the hu- man form, Some persons who have

with fine napery, shiny glass and silver. The woodwork was decorated in white and gold. There were other tables standing in the middle of the room, al- though there has been little demand for them in recent years. At her desk sat the woman cashier
 The place was like a scene in a dream. Entering from the active life of the Paris streets the stiffness of the room was more noticeable than ever. It rarely happened that more than one party was dining or lunching in the place at the same time. In spite of this limited custom, the restaurant was kept up in every detail. Rather old looking were the neat walters, and some of the gold had worn away from the wooden columns.
 But it was possible to give almost any order and have the food served. It was always as delicious as the repu- tation of the house led gusets to ex- pect. The cellars were famous, and the wines that were not sold in the restaurant got eager bidders in the pro prietors of the rival eating houses. The decay of this famous old house was due to the Palais Royals loss of prestige. The set that supports such high priced restaurants has moved to the other end of Paris now. It could not journey to such an unfashionable region even for the creations of such cordon bleu. Of while it was the fashionable center of Paris, none was so smart as the Grand Velour and the sincere flattery of its contemporaries was evinced in the es- tablishment of the Petit Velour and the Velour Jeune. Both were in the Palais Royal. .-Kansas City Journal @

FAMOUS PARIS RESTAURANT.
The Grand Velour is Gone the Way c
 the Palais Royal.

The Grand Velour is Gone the Way of
 the Palais Royal.
 Americans who know the Paris res- taurant called the Grand Velour will not be surprised to learn that it has finally closed its doors after an exist ence that began in 1769. In the golden days of the Palais Royal the Grand Ve- four flourished, and as late as the Paris Exposition of 1867 its rather narrow quarters were always crowded. It's old clientele disappeared altogether after the death of Leon Gambetta and its patronage in recent years came alto gether from foreigners who had heard of the restaurant Most of these visi- tors were Americans who piously ate sole au win blanc, the speciality of the establishment for many years, and wondered how any place with so little patronage could possibly continue to do any business.
 The grand Velour, stuck at the end of one of the corridors Of the Palais Royal, was typical, until it's closing, of the Paris restaurant at the end of the 18th century. Lace curtains hung in front of the broad windows, and above the walls ran banquette, or sofa, covered with red velvet. Opposite this sofa the tables were stretched, spread

no fear never can learn to swim. No person who is afraid can learn. The fear of sinking causes people to try to raise themselves above the water, and the attempt to do so makes them sink.

odom, Redfern and Builman seem to
have dropped out Of the competition
against the keener and more alert
younger riders, though they get mounts
occasionally.
OF the newcomers on eastern tracks
who have attracted attention from
Knapp. the most successful have been
the featherweight lad Miller, under

riding Sysonby in his most important
stakes and victories at Sheepshead
Bay, riding at 1O2 pounds and under
contract to Fred Cook, and Harry
Baird. who. with ability to ride at 81
pounds, stir Is entitled to an appren-
tice allowance and who is under con-
tract to w. II. Snyder and ]. r. Mad

riding are Joseph Kelly. a 90-pound boy,
under contract to c. r.. Henshall;

He never had on pair of gloves in his

of ring tactics than a Fitzsimmons or

But there is one redeeming feature
about this type. He cannot tell the

TozER PITCHES CLASSY BALL
AT SEATTLE
sIwASHEs CAPTURE FIRST
pouble-Heaoier Productive Of Victory
and Defeat for Both Teams
Fatal Mlseues Of Eager and
Baum
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SEATTLE, Aug. 6.-With the excep-
tion OF the sixth inning. the first OF
today's games was a beautiful exhibit
tion. Sensational fielding was shown
almost al the way and but for the
Seraphs' unlucl<y sixth inning the game
might have stretched out indefinitely
without a run. Loose work on the
part Of Baum and Eager was respon-
sible for the three runs Seattle brought
to the terminal. Aside from that fatal
period there was little to choose be-
tween the work of the two teams.
Seattle played the second game as
though the team had Crouch" of
the first order. The lone run scored
was on hits by Wall, McHale and Fitz-
patrick after two were out. That was
the only time Seattle punched safeties
on Tozer and the game was bundled up
for Los Angeles from the second inning
when the first run came home. A fast
double play started by Brashear and
the fielding of Hall, Kane and Frick
were the features of the double header
The only time Seattle looked danger
Gus in the second game was in the
fifth inning when the bases were filled
with one out. Neither Hall nor Nc
Hale could rap the sphere, though both
got hits the next time UP.

it may be the shrillest pipes but all he
says is as clearly heard as If it came
through a megaphone.
Twin Sullivan was fighting Kid Nc
Coy one night at Hazards pavilion
when the Kid landed a terrific swing
on the jaw. While Twin was appearing
trifle wobbly and it didn't look as
though he was good for much longer a
voice from the gallery chuckled:
Get your clothes, Sully. They ars
holding the grand march for you"
This is gallery wit.
Another sample from other parts: A
scrapper named McFadden was ex-
changing wallops with a young Frisco
citizen and McFadden had gone to the
floor six times in one round. Then the
comedian found himself
You're in the wrong house, Frank.
| 'McFadden's Row Of Flats" mention-
ing the name of a popular farce
comedy, sis playing at the California;"
ponent is told to pull his hair" If of
Hugo Kelly's nationality, the instruc-.
tion is to upset his apple wagon" The
boxers who don't take axes into the
ring are advised to kiss each other"
Or told that they must work in the
same shop"
| Nor does the referee escape. Once a
somewhat corpulent official did not
move about as frequently as he might,
and in consequence some spectators
could not see the boxers. After SUBJ
mitting as long as possible one of the
sufferers growled out: "Aw, git
chair, Lew; then we can look over your
head.'
Some of the familiar types do not call
for discussion. Everybody knows the
Back Number Boxer, the Tough Mug
and the Sporty Coon. One class will
repay final word of notice--the Ce-
lebrity.
The celebrity is not confined to any
one walk in life. He is often the
fighter, maybe Britt or Jeffries, who
drops in to see some big battle. When
the gallery gods call for the champ"
he finally coyly responds and straddles
over the ropes and gets off his little
speech. y
There is plenty to interest the obser-i
want at a prize fight.

CALIFORNIA JOCKEY HAS BE.
COME THE FASHION
RANKS WITH LEADING STARS
o'NeiI, Lyme, Martin, HIIdebrand, Da-
vie and NleoI Stand Well In
the Winning List Of Eastern
Season

The fashion in Jockeys changes
swiftly and it is quite in keeping with
precedent that an absolute newcomer
on the eastern turf, one willie
Knapp, from the Pacific coast, has rid
den his way from obscurity to a lead
ing place on the list of winning jock
eys, within the time covered by the
meetings of the Coney Island Jockey
club and the Brighton Beach Racing
association. Knapp's arrival was not
so sudden as the bound into fame
made by frankie" O'Neil two years
ago, or the skyrocket success of Eu-
gene Hildebrand last season. Still,
Knapp is the fashion now and COM
mands the best riding to be had and
needs only the aid of as able a mana
ger as Hildebrand had to take a Sc
cure hold of the leadership, while
o'Neil, married few days ago, and
Hildebrand, still a distance from his
majority, are termed "old timers" by
the race-going crowds.
Knapp, in the opinion of horsemen,
already TANKS WlJn Ine DeSJ OF the
eastern riders, and in point of earning
ability has shade the best of the bet
ter known boys, as he can ride at
lighter weight than can Jack" Mar
tin. William Davis, David Nicol and
Hildebrand, while in the matter of
skill and generalship he is rated as
in no way inferior to William Shaw,
Lucien Lyme. Tommy Burns and
O'Neil. Great as has been his success,
Knapp has not Jared so well as his
predecessors, for it just happened that
he made his appearance in the east
in a season when with an undimin-
ished demand for capable race riders,
there is a big shrinkage in the fees
paid to jockeys.

CHARACTERS At
A FIGHT SHOW
TYPES THAT GATHER AROUND
THE RINGSIDE
LAUGHS FOR THE oBSERvANT
Everyone Has Met the seH-Appolnted
Second, Fake crler, Nervous Man
and other Types That Attend
Local Mills

There is lots Of human nature at g
prize fight 1t is an excellent place al
which to see men as they are. 1t calls
out the primal instincts-the brute ma
ture, If you please-and the crowd about
a ringslde is a great sight.
Even the affairs pulled off in Los An
geles have this interesting aside.
though as prize fights they be poor ex-
cuses. Men will go to see fellow hu-
mans in a contest of strength with
natures weapons, and a ringside is a
panorama of absorbing fascination.
Unless a more than usually good fight
IL on, in fact, the student of human
nature will always find more entertain
ment in studying the men around the
ring than watching those in it. The
redfaced, sweater wearing, cap-sport-
ing throng that revels in it's favorite
pastime of watching two husky gentle
men endeavoring to knock one another 6
heads off affords a never-ending oppor-
tunity to get new lights on peculiar
types that are to be found at boxing
bouts and nowhere else. Here in Los
Angeles, however, lawyers, doctors and
the professional life of the city is well
represented and the "pug" class is not
the only one which patronizes 1.-The
game"
To attend few of the local amateur
mills and an occasional fight between
the big men of the ring is to get to
know them all. This brief classification
will identify to local fight goers those
whose antics always have in them a
laugh for the observant:
The nervous mantle usually has n
seat in the front row but why he should
be in the building at all has never been
discovered. He follows with twitching
muscles every movement of the boxers
and often fights harder than they do
themselves. When ever they swing he
brings his fist around. He ducks with
them to escape punishment and when
the hard blows ring out as If plank
had been ripped from the floor he as
sumes an expression of agony that
proves he suffers just as much as the
man that received the actual knock.
Why this chap wants to go to fights
and stay through the agony of being
beaten up and paying for the privilege
is a riddle. 1t is hard to see where the
fun comes in. Watch for this in
dividual the next time you go to a
fight.
Quick to Scent Fake
The suspicious man-It takes little
observation to find him. He has a
greater scent for fake than Sherlock
Holmes had for murder. Unless. the
boxers are breaking noses, draping eyes
and putting great bruises under hearts;
unless the blood is trickling in streams
from the Redeemed floor of the ring, his
cry of fake" sounds high over the
din of conflict and the applause of those
who are satisfied with manslaughter
and do not ask for murder in the first
degree.
The fake fearer always has a big
raucous voice with such love for it
that to remain silent when he has a
chance to spoil the enjoyment of others
would unsettle his reason. Everybody
