more on good hands and lose less on bad ones than inferior players. But not even experts could beat luck.
 Chess is a perfect game because it is 100 per cent skill and no percent luck 1t depends on no throw of dice nor fall of cards; the fate of the chess player lies in his own hands.
 have heard the luck and skill percent age of auction variously placed from 20 per cent skill and 80 per cent luck to 50 per cent for each. Personally, l should place it at 40 for skill and 60 for luck. Whatever it is, the luck percentage k ad- mitted to be discouragingly high. Any movement which would lower it would be a boon to auction; it would dignity the game, raise it to the chess level and wipe out it's only discouraging feature.
 "Pianola' hands (hands that play them- selves) are not inspiring. iWth a long run of such hands on your own side your victory loses it's savor-your winnings are a gift, and not an achievement; with long I'll nof such hands against you there is small pleasure in the game-all yonr efforts go for nothing. and the only thing you can do is to put up as good a fight as possible against the steam roller in the adversaries' hands. In spite of all your pluck you are fattened to a pan cake.
 But when the game is neck and neck, when the play of every card is vital then you get auction in it's perfect form.

You Never Can Tell

Two New York women-and the story is told by one of them-were in the subway in Berlin, Germany, one afternoon last summer. says the New York Times Both had just gone to the German capital from London, where they had been among friends, had been showered with atten- tions and had met some delightful Eng lishmen. They had been quite fascinated by London and everything English. On getting to Berlin they found them selves homesick for the British capital and they were constantly comparing Ger many with England, to the invariable dis advantage of the Fatherland On the afternoon in question a man and woman entered the subway car in which were the New Workers, taking the adjoining seats. The man was large. ruddy faced, with a straw hat in his hand with which he famed himself, for the day was hot The hat was the orf1y thing he was carrying. The woman ob- yiously his wife was short, stout, perspir- ing. She carried five large bundles and two small ones, arms and hands being entirely occupied with the load. The new corners pumped down without exchang- ng word.
 The New Workers eyed the man with utter disdain. and then began to criti- cize him in English in anything but sub dued voices.
 What a brute! Just like an overbear- ing German! He thinks women were made to serve men. Fancy his being such pig as to make his wife do all the work of carrying those huge bundlesl Isn't it disgusting? But what can you expect from a German? You'd never see an Englishman do thing like that And I just wish he could understand English. so as he'd know what we're saying. Pigl
 But neither the man nor his wife flick cred an eyelash, so it seemed plain. they knew nothing but their own language
 While the New Workers still vented their indignation second man came in. He approached the man and woman with a smile and outstretched hand.
 How are you? Isn't it bally hot?" said he in the most English of English ac- cents.
 ''Bally hot indeed by Jover' was the response from the man with the straw hat, In duplicate of the accent of the first speaker.
