Game of Chess Enjoys
World Wide Prestige

The origin Of chess is the subject
OF an extensive literature. The game
was known in exceedingly ancient
times both in China and India. The
Cyclopaedia of the Arts and Sciences,
published in 1886, quantity says OF
chess In China it makes consid-
cradle part OF the education OF their
females, and seems to take the place

IL may come as a surprise to many
earnest chess players TO hear that
the ancient four-handed version OF
the game is Still alive and flourish.
ing The Four Handed Chess Cub OF
London is now its chief home, though
there are Coteries of players at the
universities OF Oxford and Cambridge.
The Four-Handed Chess Club num-
bers upward OF seventy members, and
never a Tuesday evening passes with
out an attendance sufficient to make
several sets Each set plays at a
board of huge size laid out in the
form OF a Maltese cross. The board
has 169 quarters, and on these squares
are ranged the GA chessmen (white,
black, yellow and red) which are to
be exchanged in battle. At the table
sit quartets of players-partner OPP
posite each other, as in a card game
and over all, under the soft light
of the overhanging glowlamps, reigns
a solemn silence, among both players
and spectators. for. needless to say
the game is an exceedingly intricate
one.
A number of distinguished mathe-
maticians have been players OF four
handed chess. Strange forms OF chess
however are known TO the dIlittantI
OF the game. Colonel Lloyd-Verney,
who wrote an exhaustive treatise on
Chess Eccentricities." describes
chess for three persons, for six and
for eight: round chess" (played on
a circular board for two, three or
four players): and different modes OF

Prussian national game the board has

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Re-
stores Its Thickness and
Lustre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant; remove every bit of dan
druff, stop itching and falling hair. Mix
ing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at
home, though, is troublesome. An easier
way is to get the ready-to-use tonic,
costing about so cents large bottle, at
drug stores, known as "Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy" thus avoid
ing lot OF muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur, no one can tell, because 1t
does it SO naturally, so evenly. You just
dampen sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy.
soft and luxuriant and you appear years
younger.-Advt.

That She Used TO Darker
Her Gray Hair.

For years tried to restore my gray
hair to it's natural color with the pre-

a simple recipe which l mixed at

are all delighted with 1t. To OF. OF
water and a small box of Barbo Com

the hair becomes the required shade,
then every two weeks. 1t will not
only darken the gray hair. but re-
moves dandruff and scalp humors.

not sticky or greasy, does not rub off
and does not color the scalp. You

WOMEN SURE To
WIN VOTE, SAYS
0R. TAYLOR
SocioIogist, Here to Address The
Charities Session, Declares
Suffrage Sign Of Progress.

DR.. Graham Taylor, of Chicago,
PRESIDENT of the National Confer
eDee Of Charities and Corrections,
who will speak at the annual meet
inc Of the Associated Charities at
Hotel Ansley Thursday afternoon and
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-02-13

the Carnegie Library Thursday night,
is OF the opinion that it is only a
question of a few years before the
women of the United States will have
a vote.
Il don't see how anything can pre-
vent woman suffrage from becoming
universal" said Dr. Taylor. TT is one
of the signs of our progress in civili-
cation, and one of the greatest move
mentS ever inaugurated. The ten
dency all over the country is to rec
ognize the fact that a woman is fit
ted to help frame the laws that gov
ern her. Many States have granted
the franchise to its women citizens,
and other States are falling into line.
Woman suffrage means a greater
increase in the independent vote, and
foreshadows the end of machine and
boss rule. 1t means the end of COM
mercialized, police protected vice, for
women will not stand to see other
women bought and sold, and when
woman suffrage becomes universal
segregated districts will be abolished
all over the country.
In the States where women are al
lowed to vote notably in my own
State, Illinois, their entrance into
PUBIC Ire mas purlneQ polltlCs anu
caused the officials of city and State
to think more of the public welfare
than they did before women were
granted the franchise. Right now the
women of Illinois have the politicians
standing on their heads"
DR.. Taylor is one of the most noted
sociological workers in the United
States, and besides being head of the
National Conference of Charities he
also is head of the Chicago Commons.
He expects to leave Atlanta tonight
after his address at the Carnegie Lii
brary, and will go to Gainesville
Fla, to deliver an address. He may
be accompanied by Joseph c. Logan,
of the local Charities.
