but the trap is the reply. which il the
only possible defence for black. The
majority of those who sent in solutions
totally overlooked this defence and
played 1O-14 instead Of 12-16. which
Is so weak that 1t practically abandons

SOME WAR PUZZLES,

II appears that the details Of the man.
ufacture of munitions Of war In Eng
land are giving the authorities a good
deal of trouble, chiefly because there are
so few persons who are competent to
handle the matter when the problem Is
complicated by the employment OF large
numbers OF persons who are totally un-
familiar with the work.
This has led to the necessity for solv-
ing some rather interesting problems.
Here Is one Of them, sent to THE SUN
by Ernest Bergholt OF London:
in all the great factories the SER
vices OF volunteers have been enlisted

and finishing OF small parts for high

A surprising number OF solutions
came to hand for this puxs!e, some of
them being more ingenious than sound.
Many Of them fulfilled the terms Of the
problem. but took entirely too many d.
visions to do 10.
The proposition was to take an equilat-
eral triangle m cut II up In such n
that the pieces might be rear
ranged in an isosceles triangle. whose
height should be equal to One of the
sides Of the original equilaterai. The
composers idea of the solution was

but II had the defect that some Of the
pieces bad to be turned upside down in

In so many
 instances has this Seattle Spirit come to the assistance of Alaska and demon- stratcd that Seattle is heart and soul with us that the Seattle Spirit no longer is d term of opprobrium but has come to be recognized as but the man.

Quite a number of the members of
the Association of Surgeons of the
Southern Railway, who have been at
tending the convention held in Ashe-

last Friday enroute to Lake Toxaway
for days outing.
The following is from the Asheville
Citizen of Saturday:
= Various forms of amusement were
followed at Toxaway, the members of
the party dancing, boating and eating
an old-fashioned picnic dinner during
their stay at that ~place Musicians
who accompanied the members of the
party rendered number of pleasing
selections during the day and the pic
mic menu was a varied one. The sur
geons forgot the operating room and
subjects pertaining thereto during the
day and gave all of their time to the
pursuit of pleasure.
The train arrived at Asheville late
in the afternoon and the majority OF
the visitors to the convention left for
their home in various sections of the
south on night trains. A number of
them, however, are remaining a.

year was a bumper year and the trees
everywhere were overloaded. Fruit
raisers tell me that a reaction always
follows, in the form of light crop.
Whether too heavy a crop weakens
the vitality of the trees for season
seems not to have been determined.
but that would appear to be an expla-
nation of this situation
The mountain counties are covered
with locusts, the seventeen year vari-

the plaintive wall of Pharaoh" Upon
the backs of every one of these pests is
said to be found large ''W." Some
of the folks up there say this stands
for war.
"On my trip westward l took partic-
.ular notice to the nature of the crops
along the railroad, and I was very
'forcibly struck by the evidences of di-
,versifcation. There is very little cot
ton to be seen through the Piedmont.
while corn, clover, oats, grasses and
everything for man and beast to eat
is much in evidence. The hog and

year in the western end of the State. :"
