TELLS VOCATION BY
APPEARANCE AND BY
RACE OF APPLICANT
Expert Employment Agent Says He
Decides Immediately by Studying
Person His Fitness for the
Position Sought

Yes" said an East First street en-
ployment agent, Il have many classes
of people with which to deal and l
meet persons of all nationalities, dis
positions and grades of intelligence.
From my long experience, in this busl-
ness 1 usually can tell by the appear
ance of a man the business in which
he has been engaged, regardless of the
position for which he applies.
From long association with the down
and out the man temporarily f1nan-
cially embarrassed and the person who
has dropped from affiuence to poverty,
l have become skilled at reading char
acter, and my knowledge of human
nature is thorough. When man comes
into my place and registers for a po-
sition, 1 scrutinize him carefully and
decide at once whether he is fit for
it, Not only do I judge from a mans
appearance his ability in certain pro-
LESSONS. but his nationality has much
influence on me.
ITO tell you how I judge a mans
fitness for a certain position by my in
depreciation of his character would
take too much time, so I will tell you
how I size a man up by the country
in which he was reared.
"Take a Scotchman, for instance;
they are the best engineers III the
world, and there is hardly a boat
afloat that has not native of the
land of the Thistle in its engine room.
"And find if you can a person who
can prepare a better meal that
French chef. The most proficient and
highest salaried cooks of the present
time are French. France also is noted
for its expert chauffeurs.
where are the sailors that excel the
Scandinavians? Danes, Norwegians
and Swedes are the best sailors, and
persons of these nationalities number
the most aboard nearly every ship.
Swiss watchmakers always can Sc
cure employment, because artisans of
that country are noted as the best.
1t Is no trouble to secure a position
for a person of this nationality and
profession, but there are few who ever
have visited my place in search of
work,
brewers prefer Germans as brew
cry hands Probably it is because they
come from land where there is plenty
of beer. At any rate they are consid-
cred the best class of people for such
work.
"As plaster workers the natives of
sunny italy cannot be eXcelled, and
they are the most artistic of any ma
ton.
There are several trades in which
| the English are proficient, but, judg-
! ing by those with whom have come
in contact I find persons hailing from
| the British isles have no peers as
coachmen. 1t is not difficult to get
places for them.
Japanese are good servants, but I
| have few applications from persons of
this race. probably because of the many
Japanese employment agencies in Los
| Angeles.
what, going so soon? Well, come
around again and I will tell you how
1 read the characters of the various
applicants"

FIRE HANDLED WELL
BY LIMITED FORCE
CHIEFS ARGUMENTS RECEIVE
APT ILLUSTRATION
Commission Finds Department Was
Severely Handicapped and Mayor
Comments on Good Patrol
Might Have Done

Argument made recently by Fire
Chief Lips in favor of a salvage corps
and to the effect that the fire depart
ment is working short-handed were
given a decided boost yesterday when
the fire commission inspected the
apartment building at Seventh and kip
streets, the roof of which was burned
off Tuesday noon. The members OF
the commission, with the exception or
M J. McGarry, went out In CHER Lips
automobile in response to complaint
that the department had bungled ana
allowed unnecessary damage.
Mayor Harper and the other mem
bers of the fire commission were salts
fled that instead of making botch JOB
of 1t the firemen had worked remark
ably well. The alarm telephoned TO
engine company No IL, on West sew
enth street, contained only the informa-
ton that smoke was noticed coming
out of an upper window, and that a
man ought to come down to invesu-
gate. Capt, Mcdonald had but three
men on hand, as two others with the
company were at lunch, but he re-
sponded with the force available ana
took the hose into the house himself.
BY the time regular alarm was
Nurned in and other companies had re-
sponded the fire was practically out.
The fire commission found that an
odor of smoke had been noticed In the
building at 9 o'clock, indicating that 1t
had been smouldering In the attic sew
eral hours, as the department. was not
notified until noon. Capt. MCDONALD
told them that the entire front of the
roof was on fire when his company
reached the place.
One Window Broken
In spite of the fact that the fire was
confined to the upper part of the house,
and although the Brownsberger build
ing adjoining is so close that it might
be touched by a person in the other
building, only one of its windows was
broken. A large fan palm which al
most touches the damaged building
was not even scorched. Considering
the handicap of there being only -FOUR
men, the fire commission felt that the
department should be praised rather
than censured.
sHere's a strong argument to show
that we haven't men enough" Chief
Iips told the commission. There are
no eastern cities where a company In
an important district would have so
few men on duty. We run on an aver
age four to six men fewer to com
pany than Is the case in any other city
'of equal population, and such cltles
have less territory to cover
Chief Lips has also frequently made
thes contention that a salvage corps
might be of great value in fires at
apartment houses and family hotels not
in the business section, and the COM
mission was impressed with the prac-
ticaI Illustrations of this on it's in
snection Yesterday. Mayor Harper
called attention to a fine piano, un-
scorched by the. fire, but so damaged
bv water that the keys and interior
win he a total loss. "a fire patrol
might have saved that" he said,

 Professor Seymour had been i'll for several weeks but until the last few days his condition was not considered likely to prove fatal Death was due to pneumonia which followed an attack of bronchitis.

 With Prof B. L. Gildersleeve of Baltimore and Prof. William w. Goo.- win of Harvard. with whom he was intimately acquainted, Professor Sey- moGr headed the classical scholarship of the country. His acquaintance with the classical scholars of this country, England and Germany was Un5qualle1.
 Professor Seymour probably knew more than anyone else about the rising classical scholars of the country, and carried the interests of those young men with him constantly.
 His Life in the Homeric Age" is a monumental work, and it is the Ho- merle field that his reputation will largely rest, although his scholarsh D was almost universal.
 There was no man in the country who was so constantly appealed to for the recommendation of men for places, and his recommendations were almost invariably wise.
