Painting Brooklyn Bridge Task for
Human Spiders.

Every three or four years it be-
comes necessary to paint the Brook
Ign bridge in order to prevent the
corrosion and deterioration of its
structural members" says the
April Popular Mechanics Magazine,
in an illustrated article. This is a
task which requires the services of
a small army of human spiders.
who climb about the web of cables
and stringers with almost as much
composure and agility as if they
were insects instead of men.
With buckets and brushes they
cling in the network, swinging in
the wind as the constant stream of
traffic surges across the East River.
I Between them and the river be-
meath there is more than 200 #. of
space and the cables.
| Every exposed strand and spot
of the whole structure must be
painted, so the men scramble over
the cables until they reach the top
most point of the great towers
which extend 272 it. above the
water. and finally end up on the
scaffolds suspended beneath the
structure, where the mastheads of
passing vessels scrape under the
plankings. sometimes missing them
by a margin of only a few inches.
This work continues usually for six
| or eight months before it is COM
pleted. and costs approximately
$4,000"

Helping Hands.

If ever you weary of bearing your
load
AS life you 60 travelling through,
Be sure that the man just behind
on the road
Will offer to bear it for you.
And while you lie down by the muir
ing rill
Meath the shady, sweet-scented
woods;
He'll carry it up to the top of the
hill
And collect what is due on the
goods.
If ever you feel that you gladly
would shirk
The task that is set for the day,
Some fellow will offer to take on
your work
While you 60 your own chosen
way.
He'll toll. while you 60 to the game
or the track
Unmindful of labor or pelf-
And you'll find that your friend, by
the time you get back,
Has landed your job for himself
There always is someone to help
you along,
On whom you may trustlnely
lean
Whose footsteps are steady. whose
shoulders are strong
When the pace seems a little too
keen,
He'll save you the trouble of max
ing your fight,
And when the twelfth has struck
He'll calmly encamp on success
far height
Where you might have been, If
you'd stuck.

Sensible Insurance Law.

1t would take a large book to
contain the insurance laws of all
the states. for legislation of this
character has been varied and pro.
life. The courts are constantly
used in the settlement of fire losses
and the adjusters wax fat on both
the companies and the insured. 1t
has apparently remained for the
State of Florida to enact a fire-in-
surance law that is based on sound
principles and at one stroke cuts
out litigation and leaves no room
for dispute; and as for adjusters,
professionional or otherwise, why,
there is little they can do. All this
sounds too good to be true, but it
is. and the scheme is so simple the
wonder is that every state does not
have one just like it.
The Florida Reinsurance law
reads that when a policyholder has
a fire loss, the company must pay.
If, for instance. you own a building
worth only $4,000 and you can get
an agent is issue a policy $4,000
and the building burns, you recover
your $4,000, providing, of course,
the company cannot prove you are
guilty of arson. The total destruc
ton of an insured property must be
paid for at whatever amount your
policy calls for. And there is prob
ably less arson in Florida than in
any other state,
The whole procedure is logical.
The companies cannot take chance
in appointing careless, dishonest. or
irresponsible agents. The agent, in
order to hold his agency, does not
sell policies as a dealer hands out
cigars over counter. He exercises
a lot of caution. He will not issue
a policy unless he knows something
of the party insured, and he per-
sonally examines the building or
goods and satisfies himself the
property is worth the amount the
insured desires. Thus, policies for
Fictitious amounts are not written,
for what is written must be paid
On the other hand, the insured is
not allowed or induced to pay
premiums on amounts which
could not be recovered in other
states.
This maximum liability tends to
decrease fires, for the agent must
keep his record up to a certain
standard or the company gets an.
other in his place. The local agent
becomes a sort OF inspector. He
has to be constantly watchful; and
when he discovers a client is be
coming careless and taking chances
which might lead to fire, the
agent cautions such a party and
threatens to cancel his policy. This
eternal vigilance at both ends OF
the insurance policy is automati-
cally maintained. for both the. COM
pany and its agents are anxious to
stay in the business. And as for
the honest policyholder, he knows
at all times exactly what his pro-
lection is. and. should he burn. just
what he will receive.-H H. Wind.

DENVER TEAM ,INSURES
PLAYERS AND UMPIRES

The Denver Club of the Western Lea
que has insured both players and UNI
pires appearing at its park under the
workman s compensation law. Here
after any arbiter who is the object Of
attack by excited tan or player or who
is injured by accident during the game
will receive pay during his convale-
scence. All of which goes to show
that baseball does not stagnate. The
move indicates that the umpire has
been elevated to the class human al
though it is clearly evident that his
position is one of extreme hazard since
the insurance rates on umpires are ex-
tremoly high. Policeman, firemen and
those following equally dangerous voea-
tiOns can be insured for considerably
less than the man who tries to cOnvinae
players and fans that he sees strikes,
balls and putOuts more accurately than
they can ever hope to DO,

eleven GREAT UPSETS
IN SPORTING WORLD

When so many sportive upsets cams
of in 1914 it was figured that normal
conditions would prevail for a while,
but 1915 is running 1914 the closest sort
of q race. In fact, 1915 is beginning to
bulge on ahead. There were eleven
famous upsets last season. So far this
year Jack Johnson has been beaten, the
Mackmen have dropped from first TO
last place, the scOffed at Phillies have
set the pace in the National League,
Mclaughlin has been beaten twice,
TTavers, a star match player, has won
the open championship and lost at his
best style of game to Travis and Mar
ston, New YOrk-One of ffty-rour and
the other of twenty -One-in two cham
pi""shiD matches. aud Ouimet has join
ed Travers by losing to youngster en-
tered in his second amateur champion
ship.
The golf situation has proved several
more OF less important details One is
that no one or two men any longer rule
the game in America. There are now
ten star golfers to one of two years ago.
There are now at least ten golfers in
America, rated as outsiders last season,
who are likely to beat Travers, Ouimet
OF Evans in important matches at any
stage. There is no longer any chance to
play three or four men against the field.
And within another year or two there
will be at least twenty golfers with
an outside chance to finish first, against
two last season. We are beginning 10
sDread out bit. snOrtively speaking, in
this broad commonwealth.
Here IS another detail. Only few
years ago the only sporting interest
to be aroused in this country was at
baseball, football or boxing. Now golf
and tennis are drawing their thousands
as well. At the golf championship AT
Detroit there were no more eager or
more interested spectators than Ty
Cobb, Eddie Collins, Clarence Rowland,
Buck Weaver and Jack Fournier A
season or two hack and Won cOuldn 7

MAJOR LEAGUERS
RACE NEAR FINISH
Boston and Phillies Have Edge
On Next Two Series In
Flag Race

Next week, opening Tuesday, the Bos-
ton Red sox will play the Cleveland
team at Boston in series of three
games, while the Detroit Tigers will
meet the Philadelphias in a series of
three games, case Of the two leading
teams meeting the two tail-end teams.
From Philadelphia the Tigers jump
over to Washington for four games and
Boston stays at home for, three games
with the st. Louis team.
In the National League the PhiIlies
play three games at st. Louis begin
ming tomorrow, to be followed with
three games at Chicago.
Brooklyn will play three games at
Pittsburgh with three games to follow
at Cincinnati.
From the above schedule Boston has
all the best of it in that all their games
are at home next week against two
weak teams, while the Tigers play on
the road against one weak team and
against one team that is cutting quite a
figure in the race. ..
Philadelphia has had the best Of the
series so far with the Cubs and Cardi-
nails, while Brooklyn has always had
hard row to how against the Reds
and Pirates. H..
The above schedule shows also that
the Pbillies have all the best Of the
argument on paper in next week s
series.

new TANK OFFERS
BIG OPPORTUNITY
Hawaiian Swimmers Can Show
World What They Can Do
49, Where Turns Count

A golden opportunity is before lla.
waiian swimmers with the opening of
the new swimming pool at the Young
Mems Christian Association, in that
the local record-breakers will have a
chance TO show what they can do in a
sixty foot tank, where turning at
either end cuts a big figure.
Glenn jackson of the association,
who recently returned from the main
land, spent considerable of his time in
the tank at the San Francisco branch
of the "Y, :" learning the fine points
of tank turning, and he is ready and
willing to help those who desire to take
up indoor swimming. w.
Swimming In q short tank is much
different from swimming in the open
and in straightaway, where there is
but one or two turns to be made, as is
usually the case in Hawaiian swim
ming events.
Duke Kahanamokd Is rated the great
est swimmer in the world today, but
nearly all of the records he holds were
made in large tanks or in the open,
where he was compelled to make but
one or two turns. This brings up a
question as to whether Duke could go
forth and do as well in a tank where
he would be compelled to make a num-
Der of turns. II viii be interesting to
note how we'll Duke can swim in the
new tank of the Y. NJ. c, A., and it is
hoped by followers of the swimming
game that Duke viii be an entry in
The opening night events of the new
tank. .,a#Jt@
Barring the records of Kahanamoku,
made at Sutro Baths in San Francisco
and in Australia, Honolulu swimmers
have no real indoor records, particularly
in tank of, sixty, feet, the shortest
distance allowed, by the A. A. U. in
which records can be made and ac-
cepted. ..". -,
The greatest swimmer of all times in
tanks varying from sixty to ninety feet
was C. NJ. Daniels and he holds nearly
every record. It viii be interesting to
see how near Duke can come to the
marks held by Daniels or whether he
can lower these marks. Not alone does
this apply to Duke, but Il applies to all
local swimmers, and with the opening
Of the tank at the "Y' Honolulu
swimmers win have a great opportunity
to fit themselves for tank swimming,
and perhaps in the near future will be-
gin to make and smash records, just
as they are doing in the larger tanks
and in the open air.
