October has little competition for the distinction
of being the most beautiful month of the year. The
riot of color it induces easily surpasses in beauty
the exquisite shading of spring the soft whiteness OF
snowy winter and the buXom coloring of nature in
Were it not for this autumn fancy dress the
fall would be sadder season. Had not natures al
chemy provided for the eye-fillng color which comes
with the frost of fall the autumn would seem indeed
drab season of death.
There is of course, another and equally beautiful
symbolism to be found in October 1t is the season
of harvest the month of outpouring of the earths
bounty. Thus tangibly well as intangbly October
conditions mankind for the winter ahead, and COM
pensates for the death of and the beginning
of the barren months.
Forty years ago, the late Paul Laurence Dunbar,
celebrated Negro poet, distilled something of the
symbolism of October in one of his verses in Lyrics
of Lowly Life" Dunbar wrote:
October is the treasurer of the year,
And all the months pay bounty to her store;
The fields and orchards still their tribute bear
And fill her trimming Golfers more and more.
But she, with youthful lavishness,
Spends all her wealth in gaudy dress,
And decks herself in garments bold
OF scarlet purple, red, and gold
That October does don gaudy dress, to lend an
air of celebration rather than drearness to the end
of the for growing things is just one of the
many beneficences of nature that man seldom
notices, and often appreciates so little

OF COURSE, Man O. Wars case is
just one of thousands. This race
showed how important the start is,
when the best horse in the world was
beaten by bad one. At that time the
old-fashioned single-strand rubber
webbing barriers were in use every
where. Finally the stall gates were
invented. Now we also have the Aus
tralian barrier.
It Is a new barrier in America,
although it has been used sue
cessfully abroad for many years.
In England and Australia fields
of IS and 30 horses are started
from this gate.
The Australian barrier has six
strands of heavy rope. No horse can
break through it. And no boy who
Is in hurry can beat the gate"
believe it will be possible to make
many walk-up starts with the Aus
tralian barrier. Perhaps I should ex-
plain that in walk-up starts the horses
are lined up a few yards back of the
barrier and then walk up to the ma
chine in line When they reach the
gate together the starter releases the
barrier and they're off.

Modern facilities for the club
are in the offing. The housing
question remains unsettled but
In the conference this evening
II Is said that the issue will be
ironed out.
All pledged members are expected
to attend the discussion and may
bring interested friends. Unlike past
policies of certain chess groups in
Washington, the downtown organiza-
ton will cater to the needs of the
ladies and invites young and old to
affiliate for the betterment of chess.
Games. lectures for beginners, ex-
hibits. current literature. visiting
masters - these constitute only a
small part of the comprehensive pro-
gram of the social chess activity.
Monthly membership will be 81 and
"drop-ins" or chance visitors may en-
joy club facilities for IS or IS cents.
