MADE SCIENCE OF CHECKERS
New EngIanders Put Pastime on Eie-
vation That Made 1t Far Above
Mere Game.

Those who mention the death of I.y-
man StearnS. long an agent for the
Union. recall always his championship
among New Hampshire checker play
er$. IT seems q minor matter now,
bEt there was Il line when checkers
were important. observes Manchester
Union. In Old times. when the snow
WAS deep, the papers not what they
are now. and the telephone not known,
this game. so easy and yet so hard,
had its votarieS everywhere. A board
Was ut every grocery and in every
tavern, shrewd. usually rather thought
full men with Il mathematical turn OF
mind, held the honors in each locality.
Here and there notable authorities
were developed. Men walked miles
to play with each other. The merits
of center and side attack. of conserVa.
ton or sacrifice. were widely debated.
Now. the dominating thought of the
people has become better expressed
in baseball. Only a few Of the elect
still make the game passion.
There is yet to be written philoso-
ply Of games. Why are English
speaking peoples almost the only peo-
pie, except American Indians, to play
baseball? How does it happen that be-
fore the war one might see crowd in
France waiting with breathless inter-
est the important strokes in game
of croquet? Why do all the South
American nations seem to have little
interest in any out-of-door sports. ex-
cept racing, rooster fighting or bull
fighting? Why has India no out-of-
door national sport except talking
philosophy and religion? Why is
Scotland devoted to golf instead Of
cricket? Why has Germany produced
only one or two pugilistS Of reputa-
ton? Why have nations that have de-
voted most attention to ball playing
and pugilisln been the dominating ones
in commerce and government?
Recreation is a product of character
expressing itself freely. What does
tie game of checkers mean? Evidently

calculating spirit, delighting to plan
campaigns. carry on defense and Of
fcnse and at the end feel that one
made good contest. That was what
the New Hampshire men Of past gen.
erations delighted to do in life. Some
are of that nature still. Some e3-
press it with other games. A faction
will forever keep the checker board in
view. Perhaps they are the kind of
men who will remain the conservatives
in social and political life.

WASHINGTON INTERESTED
IN SCOTT RESIGNATION,

Washington was intensely interested
I'm the-news that Maj. Gen. Hugh l..
Scott has retired from the army.
Mai. Gen. Hugh l. Scott just about
week ago quietly and without -cere-
mony turned over to Maj. Gen. Harry
Hale the command of Camp Dix as
a preliminary to his retirement. this
act bringing to a close one of the
most remarkable careers in American
military history.
For forty-eight years. since he en-
tered the military academy at West
Point in 1871. Gen. Scott has worn the
uniform of the American soldier. and
during that time he has had a promi-
nent role in every war or near-war
in which the United States has been
engaged.
Regular army officers declare that
no general officer was ever more be-
loved by his subordinates than Mai.
Gen. Scott. This has been a unique
factor in his work at Camp Dix,
where. since taking command in jan
uary. 1918. he has enjoyed the utmost
support not only Of every officer and
enlisted man. but OF every civilian
agency cooperating with the govern
ment in work among the soldiers His
conduct Of the camp. its high morale
and general conduct have won the
admiration OF New Jersey citizens

most romantic pages OF American
diplomatic history.

who predict that neither his State

As a member OF the Root commis-
