occurred quite often. We are
sure If our boys would look at
this in the right light they would
refrain from smoking in these

MO3PHY, THE CHESS WIZARD
Marvellous Skill Of the Greatest Master
OF Modern Times.


Paul Charles Movphy, the famous
American chess player, is classed as
perhaps the most remarkable chess
player OF modern times" He was
born In New Orleans IN 1887 and was
notably precocious as a child. He
showed this prccocity particularly in
games of chess, and lefore he was
thirteen had defeated many well
known amateurs. For several years
he stHdied law Mt the College Of South
Carolina and played chess only occa-
sionally. But in 1857, at the first
American chess congress, held in New
York. lie easily defeated the best play
ers that could be brought against him.
In 1888 Morphy went to England
and there defeated Lowenthal, Boden
and Bird ana performed the most as
tonishng feats in simultaneous games
without the board. When he was IN
Paris, the same year, he won five out
of eight games With HarrwitZ and
gave many exhibitions Of blindfold
playing 1t was these last that were
responsible for the early breakdoW
of his health.
After his return to the United States
In 1859 he defeated the visiting Ger.
man expert. Anderson, IN seven out Of
eleven games. lie was admitted to
the bar and began 60 practice law In
New Orleans. But the strain of his
blindfold contests had been too great
for HIS mind, and he was forced TO
give up chess altogether ana then to
abandon all mentgl occupation. He
lived IN retirement until his death In
1881. His activity thus covered a COM
paratively short space of time.
Morphys skill Is described as inex.
pllcablc. lie never was n close stud
ent of chess. He played his games
easily and quickly, with no prepare
tlon ana little hesitation. Yet his com
binatlons were remarkable for fnesse,
depth, elegance and soundness," He
also possessed II phenomenal memory.

THE FINEST CAR nv OUR LINE

to its endurance powers 1t is only by such
test that the motor can be kept working at its
maximum possibility all the time. 1t is this fact
that leaves the Hudson records unchallenged
by other stock cars, as the ordinary gasoline
motor will not stand up under such strain.
In touring over the highway, no matter
how hard you drive, 1t is only at rare intervals
that your motor can be brought to Its maximum
output of power and never can it be kept at that
point for any continued period of time on the
highway. Hard driving on the road is severe
test to axles, wheels, frame, etc. and particularly
a test Of the drivers endurance, but motor
cannot be tested in this way as on speed
way.
The Hudson motor is new and was to be
proved. The Hudson Company took the one
method that would prove il beyond all posi-
bilily of question and The Super Six motor
stood the tests in way that has left all others
beyond the possibility Of competing with it. No
matter what car you own or how much you
paid for it, if you drive yourself, few hours at
the wheel Of Super Six will cause you to wish
you owned one.
