ADJUSTED IN WRONG PLACE
How Mitunderstandin Of Use ~ 70.
Preservers Brought Death to
Shipwrecked Persons.

A most vivid illustration of the now
er OF mere words over human beings
was once brought to the attention of
the French people by Francisque Sar-
cey.
After the wreck Of French liner
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life-preservers on.
These life-preservers were fastened
upon the bodies. but round the middle
instead Of under the arms, and the
greater weight Of the upper part of
the body had tipped the head under
water. and the person, of course, was
inevitably drowned.
Now it appears that the greater
number of persons so drowned
were French. The French term for
life-preserver Is ceinture de sauvetage.
or ''life-saving belt" This word cein-
ture suggests to the mind, in Its mo-
ments Of disorder and unreadiness
such as great catastrophe brings,
the idea of putting on belt, and.
as belt is put around the waist and
nowhere else. the frightened person In
stinctivefy adjusts the life-preserver
about the hips.
The result Is that az soon rs the
person so provided fulls into the wa.
ter his body tips over, with the heav.
Ter part downward. and the head Is
plunged beneath the surface.

STARS SCARE OUT ENTRIES


fhs annual championship tournament
Of the Western Chess Association. for
years the leading event on the amateur
chess calendar. has resulted in a fall
ure, which must dishearten every chess
enthusiast in the country. Only five
players arc competing in the tournament
now being played at Lexington. KY.
Edward Lasker. Showalter, Beckner.
Norman and Winter. Two causes
would seem to have brought about this
sad stase of affairs: First, Lexington Is
too far from the homes of most of the
players who formerly attended the
meetings of the association: second,
and perhaps the weightiest reason,
since players of the caliber of Lasker
and Showalter have entered these
tournaments, the lesser lights feeling
themselves entirely outclassed, have
thought 1t not worth while to struggle
against sure defeat.
A double round is being played. Las
ker and Showalter are at present tied
with scores of 3 to 1. and Norman Is
IN third place. with a score of 2 to 2.
Winter has 1 point to his credit, while
Beckher has lost three straight games
and has an adjourned game with Win
ter IN an even position. The Lasker-
Beckher game will be found below.
