COLLEGE PLANS
 REDUCTION IN
 PRICE OF MEAT

The Veterinary College of New York University, it was announced yesterday, has inaugurated a cam paign to increase the meat supply of New York City. Dr. William H. Hos kins, Dean of that institution, be- lieves that the effort will be of ma terial assistance in reducing the present high cost of living, and bring down the price of beef and pork.
 Millions of dollars worth of the meat which should rightly be delfv- cred to city consumers are lost yearly through the ravages of disease among cattle and hogs intended for that market. To combat this evil in the vicinity of New York, the University is sending out parties of students un- der the direction of pr. William H. Lowe, Professor of Animal Illus bandry, to examine the stock in all outlying districts.
 These groups will not only inspect the cattle and the hogs, but treat the stock and give practical expert advice to owners. They will cover all sec tions of Long Island, and Westches- ter County, and also parts of New Jersey near the city and the lower part of Connecticut will also be visited.

Mrs. Cutting took for her subject, "Out of the Can," showing the women present several ways in which canned foods may be combined to make wholesome and delicious dishes.

CHESS PRODIGY
 NOW IN BERLIN

A youthful chess prodigy recently made his debut in Berlin. A boy by the name of R. Rzeschewski, eight years of age, dared to play in the Berlin Chess Society 20 or more games simultaneously against more or less classy chess players, winning IS games, losing one and drawing the rest. Furthermore, the little fellow undertook to play blindfolded against the famous master player, Kurt yon Bardeleben, an expert of over 40 years standing and many times a prize winner in national and inter national tournaments. Marvellous to relate, the boy had the satisfaction of drawing this game after-20 moves. It was startling to see the little boy, whose head barely reached above the level of the tables. Step from board to board and watch him make rejoinders to the moves of his older adversaries. The fact that the per formance lasted five consecutive hours, without his play suffering any deterioration, made it all the more astonishing. Fortunately, the com bined physical and mental strain was in no way harmful, for upon reaching his hotel he retired at once and slept sound1y all night. When visitors called the following morning.
 
 busy with his toys, paying scarcely any attention to the congratulations | offered him.
 Upon being asked how he came to | lose a particular game, he promptly got out his chess set, placed them in the right position and said: '<You see, here I should have played this way and I would have drawn or won the 1 game. But I made a blunder and lost instead.H At the request of the visitors, he showed about ten or twelve positions from some of the l other games and demonstrated where | his adversaries in each had gone wrong. Not having the scores of the games, with him, he did all this from memory. He even offered to play over for his callers every one of the 22 games from memory, but he was prevailed upon to desist.
 The consensus of opinion of all those who have seen the boy at play is that he is destined to become one of the greatest masters of chess, pro- vfded he develops the necessary sta l nina to enable him to bear the ex- ceptiona1 strain put on his faculties
