Put Ban on Chess

During the Thirteenth and the four
following centuries chess was quite
commonly played and Jewish litera-
ture contains numerous rabbinlcal
opinions for and against it. After q
visitation of the plague in 1878, the
Three Rabbis of Cremona declared
that, with the exception of chess, all
games were primary evils and the
cause of all troubles" After the great
fire at Frankfort on-theMain in Ill,
the Jewish community passed resolu-
ton forbiddng for period of IA
years the playing OF chess. When
played on the Sabbath, 1t became Gus
tomary in Germany to use chessmen
made of silver in honor of the day.

The War department says that an
act of the Continental congress, passed
July 5, 1776, provided that chaplain
be appointed for each regiment in the
Continental army, and that their al

The rank held by chaplain in the Amer

Tomato Not Long Popular

Tomatoes were probably first grown
In the Sixteenth century in Peru. They
were grown in an ancient time in
Mexico, but they did not become an
economic fruit until about 100 years
ago Up until that time GS3O) they
were grown for ornament and We're
called the love apple. If WAS not I'M
til about 1870 that decided steps were
taken to improve the tomato CONNER
cially A. W. Livingston, scotsman in
Columbus, Ohio, brought out the old
variety known as Trophy. The toma-
to was grown as early as 1896 in Eng
land mostly in hothouses and as early
as 1912 in Italy.

Esperanto's Prospects

Although stress has been placed on
the encouraging spread of Esperanto,
1t is not possible for the average per
son to believe that Il universal tongue,
absolutely artificial in its origin, ever
will attain general use, or even make
enough progress to facilitate under
standing among the peoples of differ
emf speech. 1t is much more probable
that English will become the most
widely spoken of all modern languages.
However, it is pleasant to know that
the Esperantans have as their aim the
universal brotherhood and there is no
doubt that their work will have
reconciling, harmonizing effect wher-
ever 1t Is introduced-TheA rgonaut.

Fond OF Old Customs

The Cajun of southwestern Louisi-
ana has his own particular customs,
some Of them handed down by his
Nova Scotian ancestors, others Of
more modern invention.
Often in naming his numerous chill
dren, he will stick TO single letter
Thus, in family that has chosen the
letter co. the boys may be OdeIon,
Oliver, Octave, Divide, Optah, OTIS,
Otto; the girls Octavie, Odelia, Ophelia,
Odile, Olive, Olita. Olympic, Omeah.
This system, though pleasantly aIlit-
eratiye, must result sometimes in con
fusion.
AS inevitable as his cup of black
coffee, is the Caiuns use Of brick
dust. This, pounded small, is scat
tered inside, and especially upon that
shelflike portion OF his home which,
however small, he calls gallery. In
its way it is ornamental, the dull red
of the dust standing out against the
dark weathered gray of the Imprinted
planking behind.
In the better class families the
French proprieties are observed, the
young folk addressing their elders
with the formal ''You' rather than

are seldom neglected. Saturday night

TOURISTS ENMESHED

Scores Tied Up When Police Are
Ordered Not to Recognize
Temporary Florida Tag.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Md, April 10..-Or-
ders from the commissioner of motor
vehicles to members of the State po-
lice force not to recognize temporary
automobile markers issued in Florida
has resulted in the detention of
scores of motorists at Belair. near
here, during the last three days.
The owners or drivers of these au-
tomobiles were informed that they
could not move the cars from the
substation until Maryland licenses
for the year or licenses from their
home State had been obtained.
The majority OF the motorists pre-
ferred to pay the Maryland license
fee. A few of the drivers declared
they would not pay a Maryland Ii
cense fee for the entire year, when
the Maryland markers are good for
only 80 days in their home States.
These drivers left their machines in
the vacant field and went by train to
get their State tags. Protests against
the seizure of their cars were nu-
merous from the score or moro drivers
stopped.

Bad Dreams

In dreams we're often falling from
cliffs furlong high, or through dark
dungeons crawling. to find a place TO
die; in dreamland we are viewing
fierce paths that. we must tread, with
monsters dire pursuing, and vultures
overhead. Oh, fearful nightmare
terrors! And when the morning
breaks, we find that they were
errors, the dizziest Of fakes. The
classy sun is shining, the world is
fair and bright, we say, while yet
reclining, that everythings all right.
But soon the prospect cheerful is
shadowed by some clouds; we think
up bogies fearful, and phantom griefs
in crowds. Our treasured cook may
leave US. Just when we need her
most; promoters may deceive us,
who sell US stock by post; the car
may break fender, the village bank
may fail, the goose may not be ten
der, for which we paid our kale. Our
aunts may come to see us and stay
three months or eight; prosperity
NAV fee us, and want be at the gate.
Disasters thick may follow, and spoil
our cherished schemes and all these
fears are hollow, as empty as the
dreams. We cannot help the visions
that come to US by night, the battles
and collisions, the terrors that al
fright; but in the golden morning
they all seem vague and vain; such
horrors we are scorning, for we're
awake and sane. And in the morn
ing golden we ought to shoe away
all thoughts that don't embolden and
fit us for the day. The breads and
fears that haunt us, and follow
everywhere, should not depress or
daunt US, they're only fog and air.

WHEAT AVERAGES
LOWER IN PRICE
Fine Crop Prospects in Can-

Weak Trading.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. June 16.-With Euro
pean crop prospects reported as ex-
ceptionally good and the Canadian
crop outlook fine, wheat prices here
averaged lower today in the early
dealings. An overnight accumulation
OF selling orders led to weakness at
the opening, and although on the de-
cltnes demand from commission
houses broadened out and the market
readily advanced, the gains failed to
hold and fresh downturns ensued.
Opening quotations, which ranged
from q decline to Is advance, July
1.51h to 1.52h and September 1.50
to Isl, were followed by an advance
to 1.54A for July and 1925 for Sep
tember, but then by a fall to about
initial bottom figures.
Indications of more rain weakened
the corn market. After opening at y
lower to Is up: September 1.09A to
1.O9A, the market scored fractional
gains and then underwent material
downturn all around.
Oats were relatively firm. Starting
unchanged to q off, September 1875
to so. the market later averaged a lit
tie higher than yesterdays finish.
