GERMANS TEACH
ITS CHILDREN CHESS

BERLIN, Virtually every in

Stroebeck, near Halberstadt in the
Harz mountains, can play chess.
Proficiency in chess playing ranks
with reading, writing and arithmetic
in the Stroebeck village school.
Every year just before the Easter
vacation the school conducts a. chess
tournament. The winners receive
chess boards donated by the village.
Tradition has it that the Stroe-
beckers have known how to play
chess since the 18th century. At that
time Bishop tArnulf of Halberstadt
defeated his opponent, Count Gun
zelin, with the aid of the villagers
of Stroebeck. The Stroebeckers held
the count captive in an old tower,
still known as the Chess Tower, until
he was ransomed by friends. To
while away the time, Count Gun
zelin began to instruct his guards in
chess. The guards passed the .knowl-
edge on to the other villagers, until
everybody knew the game. Since
then it has been a matter of COM

LESS JUVENILE CRIME
In FRANCE SINCE WAR

PARIS R)-Juvenile criminality in
France is decreasing. Statistics
show there have been only three
fifths as many cases as during the
few years just after the war.
Juvenile courts began to operate
in France a few months before the
war, though they we're not at their
best during the five years of bat
tie.
The average number of criminal
trials Of minors was about $4,000 a
year before the courts were Great
ed. After the war the number
passed 100000 Now they run about
$4,000.
The contrast with the pre-war
statistics, say Investigators, is even
more marked because police Off
cials in the old days often let mi
nors go with lectures because they
knew justice was hard. Now minors
go to court because the police rely
upon juvenile courts to use discre-
ton, which the law gives them.
