Enthusiasts
BY R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU

At a recent meeting of the Automo-
bile dealers association of southern
California the matter of sanction
from the American automobile associa-
ton for the Santa Monica road race
was threshed out. When the question
was put the majority voted for no
sanction, as the fee for road race of
the magnitude of the Santa Monica
event, as demanded by the association.
would reach at least 5000. This is the
same stand that has been taken by San
Francisco automobiles.
Chief of Police Barrette of Santa
Monica is making arrangements for 200
men in uniform to patrol the eight
miles of the course during the contests

form the remainder of the patrol.

quently that it is spoken of among
commission men as the fishy belt.
THE immediate cause is generally
ascribed to the presence of tri-
methylamin in the butter" continued
the experts, SO the sleuths got on the
track Of this and found it mot guilty."
Next they tackled oidum nactis, and
this, too, proved an alibi. Then they
inoculated the butter with the third
suspect, bacterium lactis aerogenes,
and it, too, was proved innocent. The
bulletin finally concludes that the
cause is as about as follows, to-wit:
'Fishy flavor is caused by a slow,
spontaneous chemical change, to
which acid is essential, and which is
favored by the presence of small
amounts of oxygen. Its immediate
cause is particular substance pro-
duced by the oxidation of one of the
combinations of the acid developed in
the ripening of the cream. The sub.
stance oxidized may be the result of
hydrolysis of the cream"
And here is the climax:
The remedy: Fishy flavor may be
prevented with certainty by making
butter from pasteurized sweet cream.

N EW YORK.-Robert P. Vandevelde.
~ a tall young man, has come to
America with the idea of acting as
gentleman courier" to wealthy Ameri.
cans who want to see Europe, to meet
nobility and royalty, and obtain an
entrance into the inner circle of Eng.

Vandevelde came here fresh from
plotting the bobsled Quo Vadis to VIC
tory, winning the coasting derby at
st. Moritz. Incidentally, he says, he is
IN the habit of associating with prin-
cesses, dukes, counts. and others of
high degree.
In telling his plans the other day he
declared that on the sled on which he
acted as brake at st. Moritz were sew
eral persons with titles. Just before
him sat q German count and behind
him cousin of the prince of Wales.
Vandevelde is % years old. He said
he was of Flemish-1rish origin and
that his father now lives in Dublin.

piled by employment agencies, where
as there is an increase in the force
of mattresses of about II per cent.
Discussing the transition, the report
states:
"Changes in the system of homo
life in New York are showing their
effect in the employment of servants.
Many families who formerly lived in
private houses are now going into the
large apartment houses on the West
side. While these families often en-
ployed two or more servants, they can
keep but one servant now because Of
lack of accommodation. This accounts
for the increase in the number of
servants wanted for general house
work, as nearly all the servants hired
by the occupants of apartment houses
are of this class. The same condition
also accounts for the absence of an
increase in the number of mattresses
and cooks which the growth of popu-
lation would justify.
Families living in apartment
houses find it difficult to obtain salts
factory servants in private families.
and both the servant and the en-
ployer become dissatisfied. This, of
course, results in frequent complaints
from both sides against the employ
ment agencies"

States it was not because he was in
any immediate danger of a visitation
from the law, although he had been a
prominent figure in the insurance
scandal, which brought many of the
men of his class into the shadow of
the penitentiary.
He did it, as he sadly remarked at
the dock, more in sorrow than in
anger. He was going, he said, because
the people of the United States were
too crude, too materialistic, too bla-
tant to be worthy of the society of a
gentleman of leisure. He was going,
he said, to land where life is an art
and art is life, where the traits of
character which in his own country
had brought him nothing but bitter
ness and derision, would win him ap-
probation and friends.
Mr.. Hyde added that he would al
ways continue to think kindly of
America, that he would even-out of
loyalty to his forbears-retain his
American citizenship, but he qualified
this by concluding that he did not
think he ever would come back. Then
he curled his violet-scented moustache
and went aboard.
