Fabret's private signal - Image by Ivan Sache, 24 May 2010
F. Fabret was a dentist from Nice, pioneer in dental care and
prophylaxy. He advocated the creation of a Mutuelle dentaire
scolaire to favour the early detection of dental problems in children
and in the poor (conference De l'hygiène dentaire scolaire,
Dentistry Congress, Marseilles, published in Le Monde Dentaire, 1911
(2), 103-106).
Fabret also developed different techniques aimed at reducing pains in
patients. During the 44th congress of the Association française pour
l'avancement des sciences, held in 1920 at Strasbourg, he presented
the gazotherme" a non-chemical means of anesthesy (L'anesthésie sans le médicament par le gazotherme, pp. 689-694 in the congress' proceedings, 1921). The principle of the gazotherme was to use refrigerated, pressurized oxygen ("frigorific jet") to freeze the tissue to be cured by the dentist. Temperature ranged from 0 °C to - 25 °C. The gazotherme was the subject of the medicine thesis defended in 1924 by Paul Schmid in Zurich, Über die Einwirkung der Kälte auf die lebende Pulpa, speziell bei Anwendung tiefer Temperaturen zur Bekämpfung des hypersensiblem Dentins (Gazotherme Fabret), published
in Schweizerische Monatsschrift für Zahnheilkunde, 34 (2), 41 pages and 3 plates. During the 48th congress of the same association, held
in 1924 at Liège, Fabret presented to his colleagues an improved
avulseur, which allowed him to practice five complex root
extractions (Démonstration pratique de l'avulseur, pp. 852-854 in the conference proceedings).
Admitted into the CNN in 1901, F. Fabret was a member of the club's Administrative Committee and the Secretary of the Interior Committee in 1906. His private signal is a triangular white flag with a blue border and a red star in the middle.

Glandaz' private signal - Image by Ivan Sache, 24 May 2010
Albert Glandaz (1870-1943) succeeded his father as the Chief Clerk and
Printer of the Tribunal of Commerce of the Department of Seine
(Paris). He spent his significant wealth in promoting sports,
especially yachting and rowing, and touring.
Aged 18, he served as the Vice President of the Cercle de la Voile de Nogent-Joinville. In the beginning of the 20th century, Glandaz launched some 50 new hips on the Seine, including a catamaran (1900). In 1904, he

France, CKCF) and introduced Canadian canoes into France, allowing
river (upstream) canoeing. President of the French Rowing Federation (1905-1924), Glandaz created in 1907 the Albert Glandaz Cup for "beginners", that is rowers having not competed yet in the national championship; the Glandaz Cup is still raced and highly disputed.
During the First World War, Glandaz recreated the review
L'Aviron (rowing) and sent it freely to all the members of the
federation fighting on the frontline.
In 1924, Glandaz was in charge of the organization of the watersports
competitions in the Paris Olympics, ran at Les Mureaux (rowing) and Le Havre (sailing). In 1928, he patroned the new Club Nautique Meulanais (today, AMMH, Aviron Meulan Les Mureaux Hardricourt) as its Honorary President, as he had already done before for another 50 clubs.

Glandaz presided the Comité National des Sports (CNS, founded in
1908 and merged in 1972 with the Comité Olympique Français to form the Comité National Olympique et Sportif Français) in 1910-1911 and 1912-1913, was a founding member of the Union des Sociétés Nautiques de France (the forerunner of the French Sailing Federation). He seated
at the IOC, as member No. 83, from 1913 to his death.
Glandaz presided the Nautic Committee of the Touring Club de France
and was Editor-in-Chief of the Revue du Tourisme Nautique. He
contributed several textbooks for yachtmen, such as Guide du
yachtsman en croisière. Les croisières en Italie (1904) and Guide des voies fluviales de Dinan à Nantes (coauthored with Juline Boistel, 1907).
Like several other yachtmen of his time, Glandaz supported
ocenographic research. He was among the sponsors of Charcot's
expedition in Antarctica and offered his yacht Andrée for
oceanographic campaigns led in 1906, 1907 and 1908 by the
Faculty of Sciences of Paris.

the estate for a home.
