TIME settlements made by the
Il Spaniards upon the shores of
the Caribbean Sea are far older
than those of the English and
French upon the Atlantic Coast
Of this country. One of the oldest
cities and one of the most pic
turesque is Cartagena, seaport
on the north coast of the Re-
public OF Colombia, which was
founded by Pedro de Heredia in
1888.
While 1888 marks the beginning
of Cartagena as a Spanish city,
tradition leads us to believe that
1t was an important trading cen.
ter for the Indian tribes centuries
before that. The Spaniards forth
fled it at an expense of $29, 000,-
900. AS the work they did would
today cost 10 times that sum in
the labor involved, you can readily
understand what great wealth
the Spaniards had seized from
the Incas and Aztecs and what
store they set by Cartagena as
an outpost of the Spanish empire.
Trouble began for the Span.
iards as early as 1874, when the
French seized the town. 1t soon

exploits of his daring and ro-
mantle career. He only stayed
six weeks.
American history gives scant
grace to an expedition of English
and colonial troops to the number
of 25, 900, which attempted to cap
ture Cartagena in 1741. OF this
number probably 1000 were Ameri-
cans. Lawrence Washington, a
half.brother of the immortal George
Washington, commanded the 700
Virginians who were on the expe-
dition. Smallpox and yellow fever
broke out among the troops while
before the city and only $4,000
lived to get away from the unsuc-
cessful siege. 1t is supposed that
1000 Americans lost their lives
there.

ton of $4,000, is perhaps the most
interesting of the Spanish.Ameri-

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. C. A. L. Reed

VOU may be one OF the thou
i sands who, in one way or
another. are engaged in some
form of lead industry.
Lead industries heretofore have
been classified as dangerous in.
duStries and, in the absence
of proper hygienic precautions,
they are vet to be so classified.
II is of the natural law that
lead. especially in the form of
metallic dust, when taken into
the human system produces very
definite and dangerous poisonous
results.
The chief danger in any lead
trade results from the inhala-
ton of dust or fumes. The
painter who uses ready-mixed
paint incurs only the very slight
danger of swallowing small
amounts of lead from his paint
smeared fingers. AS soon. how
ever, as he uses sandpaper on
painted surfaces by any dry
process he begins to inhale large
amounts of lead dust. and he
inhales oxides of lead when he
burns paint from a painted sur
face with a blow-lamp.
Oliver and Aub have demon
strated by experiments on ami
mails that it is much moro dan
gerous to inhale small quantities
of insoluble lead than it is 20
eat very large amounts of II.
Inhaled and ingested lead COM
pounds are stored as an insoluble
phosphate in the skeleton. Work.
ers in dusty lead trades may carry
anything from a half to one grain
of lead phosphate in their bones.
These deposits may he gradually
modified and thus be thrown Off
by the ordinary processes of life.
But in passing through the blood
stream lead produces symptoms
of poisoning.
Women are a good deal more
susceptible to lead poisoning than
men. Alice Hamilton found in a
white lead works in Newcastle-on-
Tyne that the incidence rate of
women who suffered from lead
poisoning was double that of men,
and that it was also double in the
Staffordshire potteries. The fe-
male reaches certain stages of
lead poisoning in about half the
time required for the male to
reach them.
The painting trade seems to he
the worst of all. both in frequency
and intensity, for lead poisoning.
The lesson from these reliable
observations is evident; Wage.
earning women ought not to en-
gage in the lead industry, but
when they are compelled to do SO
they, even more than men. ought
to be protected by every pos
sible precaution against systematic
poisoning.

MEDTTATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland.

TrifIes, Light n Summer Love
TT is as foolish to forswear men
Il and love because they are
never constant, as 1t is to refuse
to have flowers around, because
they always fade.
It takes such a tiny grain ut
sex appeal between a man and a
woman to destroy big and
wonderful friendship.
A girl can forgive a man for
almost anything except that in.
souciant "You-owe-it- to-yourself.
to-kiss-me," air with which most
modern men start what they fond
ly call their '1ove-making."
Many a bachelor has been
driven into matrimony by the
bitter prospect Of having nobody
but himself to blame his little
mistakes and troubles on.
This is the time of year when
even an intelligent girl would
rather listen to one man saying
foolish things than to lot of men
saying brilliant things.
To get a. dim idea of what an
uncongenial marriage is ike, try
strolling in the moonlight with
the wrong man for an hour or
two, while he talks about his
golf or his dyspepsia.
When 1t comes to breaking a
date or telling the wife that you
won't be home to dinner, most
men find that the line of least
resistance is the telephone line.
Grandfather serenaded his lady
love on his violin; Father read
Byron and Shelley to his sweet
heart; Son sits out in his car and
honks for his Girl Friend; but
they were all inspired by the
same passion for attracting
woman's attention, by making a
BIG NOISE.
When it comes to marriage,
most men are a sad lot and most
women a sad lottery.
