Here's a mystery that will even
stump the doughty T. r. Jolly, game
warden. 1t might be entitled
where's The License?" or who
Shot the Dove?"
Young Jim Carson, of the banker
tribe, went ahunting for the willy
dove, it seems and with deadly ac-
curacy brought one down on the
wing. When a game warden ap-
peared and demanded to see his IL
cense, Young Jim became merely a
spectator.
"Massie Horton shot that dove"
he declared. But the game warden
knew that couldn't be true because
Massie hasn't hit a dove in nigh
onto 20 years.
At this point up plodded Banker
Carson. "There's the man that
shot the dove!" announced Young
Jim in triumph. That's the end of
the story, because anyone knowing
Banker Carson knows he'll claim
anything.
He Deserves It
If anyone wants to start list
of the most courteous, accommodate
ing persons in Imperial Valley, RR
would recommend that Howard
Emmons, government weather bu-
reau observer at Ell Centro, be plac-
ed at the head of the list. Nothing
too much trouble for him and he
always answers every question
about the weather with the utmost
cheerfulness as well as accuracy.
It would be difficult to get along
without his type of service.

PRINCETON'S STYLE
OF CHESS INTRICATE
Ordinary Scheme Not Divertlng
Enough, Mathematicians Use
Eight-Board Plan.

DRINCETON, N. ]. @.-Princeton
l. University mathematicians have
evolved several games of their own.
Although very popular in PROFESSIONAL
circles here, the games probably never
will attain universal appeal.
The colleagues of Prof. Albert Elm
stein found ordinary diversions unin-
teresting. Hence they turned to games
that appeal to the mind stepped in the
complexities of figure and space.
Among the first products of mathe-
matical ingenuity was chess in three
dimensions. The ordinary board with
"a squares was supplanted with sys-
tenn of eight boards superimposed to
form a cube through which chessmen
pass according to their regularly as
signed moves. The added dimension
prolongs contest to five hours.
After devising cylindrical chess and
anchor ring" chess, the figure experts
turned to the japanese game Of go, "
invented by the Nipponese Emperor
Yao in 1850 BIC.
This is played on square board
with 19 parallel lines drawn in each
direction. The two series of lines in
tersect 361 times. Around the inter-
sections white and black stone coun-
ters are moved, 400 of each color. The
object is to surround with ones men
as many unoccupied intersections as
possible.

1t isn't up to us to tell those folk at

its advantages.
And the cost isn't prohibitive,
either. Chevy Chase achieved it by
adding a few dollars year to the
dues of each golfing member. 1t
could be achieved even simpler than
than by adding few cents each round
to the caddy fees, painless method
which would provide enough money to
