SAM HARRIS TELLS HIS SIDE
OF STORY RELATIVE
TO MATCHES

Acco, ding to Sa II Harris, Mes
tor Recio Was slightly damp in the
account of the chess match he
gave The Citizen yesterday. The
match did not start Monday night
but, instead, Saturday night, when
SIX games were played, five of
which Harris says he won. The
standing at present is: Recio, four
games; Harris, eight games.
"That is, an exceptionally good
percentage for Nestor in our
Matches" Harris said, (which was
due more to horseplay than chess
play on my part. The last time
Nestor and l played a match of
25 games, Nestor won one, one
was a draw and | won g."
"How about this strategy Mes
tor talks about?" the reporter
asked. e,.

THE LURE OF THE TROPICS

Editor The Citizen:
Whatever it is that drives BIT
ter men into the tropics, as if in
to the arms of a sympathetic
mother: Whatever the lure is,
below Cancer, only a strong man
can conquer the spell of It A
faded, old letter tells of the strug-
gle of a man who cut a faithless
woman out of his heart and fol-
lowed the tropics. In days Of
sail, Panama was about the last
place you would wish to cast
anchor in. They were building
the Panama Railroad when Ed
mund Green, of Connecticut, got
there. 1t cost a mans life Tor

sheet Jnat later became the
Panama Herald. The big rains
blanketed the isthnlus with mos
qultoes and for weeks they hung,
like a fog, over Panama. Then
yellow fever came, just as II once
came to Key West. There WASH I
any serum IN those days before
Nagouchl's time. Green lay
through long days in a small room,
watching the Lizards play and the
insects settle on the netting over

The rafting of the palms Is like
the creaking OF the sleds in the

dark woods, deep in snow and

say, "a red sunset, colder tomor-
row. But l know that two visions
l shall never see again, you my
dear, and the soft, falling snow. "
He must have been stricken
while he penned. because a month
later they heard that he had died
of yellow fever. Nobody ever
bothered to send for his body. 1t
only goes to show that the tropics,
below Cancer, are worse than a

man up. When his eyes begin to
play tricks on him he will prob
ably look up and see a red sun

The Wrong Murderer
By HUGH CLEvELY

WINGED that Mahony was murderer
made him take a far more optimis-
tic view Of the situation.
His appointment was in an upper
room in house in Bayswater, and
the people he had to meet were half
dozen men who had been working
for him for the last year. Now they
all knew that, so far. he had been
worsted in his fight with Mahony.
AS the result his authority over
them had weakened. 1t was his in
tention to reassert his authority and
ginger them up bit.
They were sitting waiting for
him: six hard, crafty specimens of
humanity. They were weighing him
up. prepared to turn on him as a
pack of wolves will turn on its leader
when he gets old and his strength
fails him.
Lawson was fully aware Of their
attitude. and had his own plans foI
dealing with them. He entered the
room nonchalantly. glanced with Q
cool. naughty Indifference ROUND
the circle of faces turned towards
him. and took his place casually in
seat at the head of the table round
which the men were sitting. His
manner when he spoke was cold,
precise. and dignified.

said. 1--WE called you here because
you're all important members of my

Engineers have begun work on plans
for a layout of streets and roads for
the United States Public Health Serv-
ices biological laboratory to be con-
structed on the Luke I. Wilson estate
near here.
Specifications for the buildings are
not yet complete, but the task OF ar
ranging for the location of the drive
ways is being pushed so construction
can begin when officials are ready to
proceed with the laboratory.
Included in the original group will
be the laboratory, quarters for SCI
entists assigned to the station and
building to house the heat and power
units. The group will be Augmented
from time to time until it becomes
one of the largest of its kind in the
world.
The site for the laboratory was do.
mated to the Federal Government
more than a year ago by Wilson anc

sition, not only among civic bodies
and adjoining property holders, bu,
in Montgomery Countys governmental
circles.

they were powerless to act, the zon'
