along the line. Apart from build

costing $4,000, four schools, which
were erected at an outlay of 100000
and an extensive road building pro-
gram, no large items were included
in the building totals. The prospect
for 1923 is encouraging, especially
for home building. Two high school

shown in reports from the G. L. Mil

in the increasing magnitude of ven

proceeding on growing scale.

CHESS MASTERS TILT
IS NOT FAVORED HERE

Washington will not be included in

New York, national chess champion.
and Edward Lasker of Chicago,
former western champion, in their
eighteen game championship series to
be played in various cities. New York
Chicago, Cleveland and New Orleans
are among some of the cities mem
toned as scenes of games in the con-
test to start next month, but chess
men here do not favor entertaining
the masters in any of the matches.
The local chessmen contend that in
former years the masters raised the
cash prizes. but that in this instance
the contenders propose to play for the
money contributed by the chessmen
in the various cities where games are
played instead Of doing any financing
themselves.
Some chessmen here claim that Mar
shall really should not be recognized
as national champion. as he has not
defended his title for some years.

considered. Washington chess circles
are not yearning to have anything to
do with the series.
