RESTAURANT MANAGERS
DISCOURAGE PARIS STYLES
New York Firm Issues Orders to
Mattresses Forbdding Extreme
Modishness in Dress

NEW YORK, March 31.-The Childs
Restaurant company, in which several
prominent members of the Standard
Oil company own stock, has issued a
new set of rules for it's mattresses I'm
PEELED perhaps by the same spirit OF
modernism that made the Standard
Oil company employ a press agent and
take the public into its confidence, the
Childs company made these rules pub
lie.
1t appears that the directors of the
Childs company have had an eye on the
startling Partisan styles that have
taken possession of femininity, and
were not wholly pleased with the effect
on it's mattresses. The pounds of hair
piled upon the head, the stilt-like
French heels and long corsets of the
up-to-date woman seemed unbecoming.
Samuel S. Childs, vice president and
general manager of the restaurants,
said to a reporter:
1--WE want all our mattresses to be
models of ladylike appearance and de-
pertinent. We don't go so far as to
limit the exaggerations of the present
styles to an exact size of coiffure OF
height of French heel We have only
asked our young women not to array
themselves in a manner to startle the
beholder and attract undue attention.
1--WE do not expect any difficulty in
carrying out our plans, because our
mattresses come from a superior class.
We accept only ladylike young women.
1t has been said that we go SO far as
to require ouH mattresses to manicure
their nails in a certain way. That's
all nonsense, of course. The young
women we employ are all cleanly,
wholesome lassies. They have good
positions with us. They receive a
salary of $40 a week and three good

LAST SIGN OF AMERICAS
HOLD ON CUBA REMOVED
Stars and Stripes on Garrison Give
Way to Lone Star on
Red

HAVANA, March 31.-The last en-
blem of American domination over
Cuba disappeared at noon today when
the garrison flag at Camp Columbia
futtered down the pole and was re-
placed q moment later by the lone star
red banner of the Cuban republic.
The ceremonies attending the trans
fer of authority took place in the
presence of the garrison of Camp Co
lumbia, consisting of two battalions Of
the Twenty-seventh infantry and three
companies of engineers and one batta-
lion of Cuban infantry.
At the direction of Maj. Gen. Thomas
H. Barry commanding, Lieut.. Bayard
Sneed, Twenty-seventh infantry, ad-
vanced to the flagstaff and hauled down
the colors.
The troops presented arms and the
Cuban and American bands played the
star Spangled Banner" A cuban
lieutenant then raised the Cuban cUlors.
The troops again saluted and the bands
played the "Hymno de Bayamo."
The transfer of the camp being thus
completed, the Cuban troops lined the
roadside and presented arms, while the
Americans, numbering about 800 in
heavy marching order, marched past.

CLASSY MEET
IS PREDICTED
TRACK AND FIELD CONTESTS
WILL BE CLOSE
LOS ANGELES EXPECTED TO
HOLD CHAMPIONSHIP
st. Vincent, with Its Star Point VIM
ner, Captain James Donahue,
Looked Upon as Close
Contender

What is predicted to be one of the
classiest field and track meets ever
held in Southern California is sched-
uled for next Saturday afternoon be-
tween Los Angeles high school and
ST. Vincent's college. 1t will take
place on the Bovard field.
Los Angeles high is the champion or
the interscholastic league and is look
ed upon as the likely winner Satur-
day. The Saints have as many field
men to win honor for them as the hill
top institution.
Captain James Donahue of the St.
Vincent team will be practically the
handspring of the college team as his
athletic prowess, shown against Poly
technic when he won twenty-three
points, demonstrates that he will be
a strong contender in the 1OO-yard
dash, the 220 dash, the 120-yard hur-
dies and the broad jump.
Captain Harrigan of the l.. A. team
no doubt will be a point winner in
the 120 low hurdles, if his past form
is any criterion of his ability. "Chick"
Dawson in the broad jump has been
doing we'll in practice, jumping 10 feet
inches
The closest race. of the day is pre-
dicted to be the 100-yard dash between
Giesler and Rubio for the hilltop
NAAC
Saints, if all toe the scratch line.
The 440-yard run will furnish inter-
est, as mickey" Mcclure, winner of
the interscholastic event, will run his
head off" to uphold his prestige in this
event.
The pole vault should go to st. Vim
cent, as Donahue cleared the bar in
the Poly meet at II feet inches, while
in the interscholastic meet l.. A. highs
representative was unable to better 10
feet 6 inches.
The $50 run will be between Dona-
hue, Stoney and Shute for the Saints
and Mcclure and other dark horses for
the high school.
The broad jump will lie between Dom
ahue and Dawson, while Geisler may
also be a contender for the school
boys, as he did % feet inches in the
interscholastic meet, winning a place,
but being beaten by a small margin
by Morrison Of Long Beach high.
For the relay the Saints will enter
Stoney, Shute. Carol and Donahue,
while Mcclure, Harrigan. Geisler and
Rubio will try to annex the points for
the high school boys.
The meet will be called promptly at
2:30 o'clock and a big following of each
institution is expected to cheer it's ia
vorites.

WANTS TO KNOW WHERE
EXPRESS MONEY WENT
United States Company Reports $34,-
900 Profit with $17,0o0,0o0
Worth of Business

ALBANY, N. Y, March 31.-Efforts
to secure an election of a new direc-
torate of the United States Express
company, Of which former Senator
Thomas C. Plat is president, were con-
tinued today by representatives of the
minority stockholders, who appeared
before the judiciary committees of the
senate and assembly in support of a
bill to compel joint stock associations
to hold a meeting and elect officials
annually.
William J. Roach of Troy declared
that the United States Express compa-
ny took care of $17,000,000 worth of bus
mess in one year and that it's net
profit were only $4,000. He wanted to
know where the money went.
Eugene Kramer of New York said
the Adams and the American Express
companies held the stock of the United
States Express company and controlled
it. This was denied by Carl de Gero-
ders, counsel for the United States Ex-
press company.

MEANS BIG FUTURE
FOR WATER SPORTS
INTEREST IN AoUATlCS IS
SPREADING
Special Fancy Swimming and High
Diving Features Added to Water
Polo Program at Bimini
Baths
BY RED PERKINS

In addition to the water polo con-
tests scheduled at Bimini baths TO-
morrow evening between the Bimlni
club and the Redondo swimming six,
special fancy and high-diving FEATURES
that should appeal to the lovers or
aquatic sports have been added to the
program.
Prof. ]. Cox will be the center at
traction and will be assisted by sew
eral other members of the Venice
Aquatic club. An exhibition race be-
tween Holborow, champion of Southern
California in Nthe fifty and 100 yard
events, and possibly Aberg, the fast
Swiss swimmer, who surprised ms
many admirers in the championship
meet held at Venice last summer, Will
be pulled off. These athletes are both
In good condition now and are work
ing with the expectation of swimming
in the national championships at Seat
tie in August.
Other events will be arranged for
Friday night If possible, and close con-
tests are expected in all of them. Thls
is the first of q series of water polo
games and swimming events that VIII
be held. at the Bimini baths FRIDAY
nights of the coming season.
President Les Henry Of the Southern
California Swimming association has
taken up the movement fostered by
The Herald in arranging competitive
matches among the interscholastic cir
cles and in the near future there VIII
in all probability be contests alrssiS-.:
between the Los Angeles and the Po.y-
technic high schools and the Harvard
military academy swimming teams. =.
There is promising material in all
of these institutions and Henry pre-
diets that within a few years Los An
geles will be represented by champions
in more than one event. steps nave
already been taken by the school au-
thorities to interest scholars in gram
mar school circles and before many
moons this line of sport will be given
as much attention as track, baseball
and football events.
Pimini baths are assisting in the
promotion of school aquatics and every
afternoon five or six teams can De
seen practicing their first lessons under
instructive coaches.
The beginners are fast picking up
new strokes and will soon have mas
tered the Australian crawl and other
difficult movements, known only to the
speed swimmers who have participated
in auuatics for many years.
There is a possibility of the colleges
of the south taking up water sports
later in the year, and st. Vincent S
college faculty has already encouraged
this line of athletics by fitting up a
large tank in the gymnasium, in which
many of the students practice this
sport daily, to develop themselves into
water rats in the near future.

NORTH CAROLINkN LEARNS
NEW TRICKS AT POKER
Discovers That "ke-ards All Signals"
When His Fo' Aces Lose a
Whopplng Big Pot

NEW YORK, March 31.-Why the
Savannah line suddenly withdrew from
sale last week the playing cards which
had been placed on the various steam
ships of the company when the City of
Savannah was put in service, and sub
stituted an altogether different design,
became known yesterday. The old
style of cards, it was found, permitted
sengers who accepted invitations from
strangers to take a hand in a friendly
little game of draw.
This possibility was brought to the
attention of j. G. Horton, passenger
traffic manager of the line, through a
game in which two of the participants
were a South Carolina colonel and a
friend from Georgia, and from which
they withdrew after the colonel had be-
come convinced that the other two
players were in collision.
On the backs of the cards is a pic
ture of the steamship City of Savan-
nah, with an advertising inscription.
The latter was so displayed, however,
that at the top Savannah line" and at
the bottom a blue oval stood out with
great distinctness.
This particular game had run along
for several hours, and the two strang-
ers had had such great run of luck
that the colonels suspicious were
aroused. He began to study the backs
of the cards held by the strangers, and
the blue oval attracted his attention.
After one deal the colonel noticed that
one of the strangers held two of his
cards upside down, while the other held
three inverted. On a showdown the
former displayed a pair and the latter
three of a kind. The colonel began to
perspire from excitement. Soon after
ward one of the strangers held hand
in which the backs of four were upside
down. He took the trick with four of
a kind. The colonel gripped his chair
and made a note of the next hands.
This time one of the strangers held all
his cards inverted, and the coloners
hair rose. The five inverted cards
proved to be a straight.
During the next few deals the strang-
ers' cards went through a similar per-
Torrance and the colonel bet lightly.
Finally he was dealt what was so good
a hand that his spirits rose. He peeped
cautiously at the cards of the strang-
ers. One was holding two inverted and
the other only one.
aha! this is where I give these gen.
tlemen a dose of their own medicine"
said the colonel to himself, and the bet
ting became exciting. Finally the
colonel showed four aces.
TITS your money, I guess" said one
of the strangers
"Wait a minute" said the other, and
he spread out a straight flush.

weeks ago.
These swimmers are known to be
