Correct solutions to problem No. 3

perfectly definite idea. This idea may
vary widely and the clearness with
which IL is expressed differs with each
problem. But the theme should %
there, and all themes may be CLASSIFIED
under relatively few heads.
Originally problems were in large
number of moves and frequently were
a series of checks. At present the key
never check or a capture.
1t is only by learning to recognize
the idea which a problem is designed To
express and by noting the different
variations and how each piece is dis
posed to play it's peculiar part in the
expression of this idea, that the solver
learns to appreciate the beauty of the
poetry Of chess.

A short time since mention was made
Of Mrs, Herbert Wadsworth's beautiful

seen In Dupont Circle. In the New York
dog show Cora justified the hopes Of her
admirers by winning first in the class

who are to receive one-haH Of the fines
collected from viOlators Of the law. The
nonresident license remains at $40. For
residents county hunting license is
fixed at 81 and a statewide license
at S.. No license is required for
hunting on ones own land. The sale OF
game birds except waterfowl is prohibit
ed. The written permission Of the land
| owner must be secured to hunt on his
land. The bill is meeting with strong
opposition. but Capt. Wise is very hope
full Of its passage. All expenses of the
commission are to be paid out Of the fees
received from licenses.
A later letter from Capt. Wise says
that the bill has been fayorably re-
ported by the senate committee without
amendment. The bill In most respects is
an admirable one It has. in the writer

ing their names to papers for strangers.
They have often turned up later in the
shape of promissery notes But the
clause that is most Objectionable is that
which gives to county and precinct ward
ems one-half Of the fines imposed within
their Jurisdiction. It puts q premium on
convictions and might easily lead to pre-
pared testimony to secure one. The De-
partment Of Justice found this fee sys-
tenn so productive Of fraud that It has
practically abolished 1t, and pays sal
aries. If q deputy game warden goes to
some expense and trouble in making an
arrest, and to get his expenses back
has to secure q conviction. in many In
stances he might not be very particular
in the methods employed to secure It.
