although quiet and conservative play
dominates middle game tactics.
Several variations that follow ; B.

aggressive attacks, contrary indeed to

4 Castles Kt-KB3; S POI (Max
Langes attack; or BxP ch., KxB;
S KtxP ch., KtxKt (Jerome Gambit,
an. American variation in which
White sacrifices two pieces for two
pawns, seeking to draw Blacks king
into the center OF the board. Bu:
once White foregoes the attack, Black
may obtain a strong defence albeit
casting is impossible); or. P-QKt4,
BxKtP, etc. Evans Gambit).
After the pattern moves. the Giuoco
Piano may be continued thus: P-B3,
B-Kt3; P-Q4, Q-K2; s castles, Kt-
B3; 7 3-Kl. POS; 8 P-QR4, P-Qr3;

II B-R3, Kt-Q2; IL P-Kt5, Kt-Ql;
l3 Kt-Q2, Q-B3; IA Kt-Bl, Kt-K3;
Is Kt-K3. etc.
Or after the pattern moves. White
may continue with 4 P-B3, Kt-KB3; 5
P-Q4, etc (also termed the Giuoco
Piano.. or P-Q3, etc (this latter
move giving rise to a true quiet and
conservative game, reputed to be sound
and to which is applied the name.
"Giuoco Piannissimo"-very, very
quiet opening.
Beginners favor the Giuoco Piano
as generally it gives strong game
against superior players, the pawns
and pieces gradually being opposed to
each other, exchanges creating small
positional advantages, and often the
hasty, careless or unwary player finds
himself enmeshed in puzzling traps
and irregular combinations that give
White advantages in space and time.
Reuben Fine recommends that Black
essay the Two Knights Defence:
l P-K4. P-K4; Kt-KB3, Kt-QB3; 3
B-B4, Kt-B3, etc, as the most aggres-
sive, contending that Black thus may
equalize chances of victory.

Realignment Of the leaders in at
least two of the four sections in the

sure to move about this week as the
"a teams entered in the scramble
move toward the middle OF the sched-

Top match Of the week in section !
Will be the Justice Reconstruction FL

These two teams are deadlocked for
the lead in the top section.
Treasury Meets Strong Foe.
Treasury. leading In section 3, with
IL points won and none lost, meets a
strong Interior team Thursday at
Belle Haven, but on form shown in
previous matches should win. Another
hot match looms in section Tues
day as Accounts and Deposits, in
SECOND place in that section, meets
Soil Conservation.
One OF the hottest matches of the
series yesterday found General Ac-
counting Once. medal play Govern
ment champs, toppling Veterans Bu-
reau from the undefeated list, 31a to
~, in match at Indian Spring. But
Veterans Bureau, despite the setback,
still tops Section with l4la points
won and 312 lost. 1t was their first
point loss and their first match loss
in three contests.
DR.. Noah Pomeroy and Otto Elble
Of Veterans Bureau halved the first
nine with Jock. Olmsted and Don Dud-
ley of G. A. O., and then won the
last hole to grab 2i2 points in the top
foursome. But W. A. Covert and Joe
Wilson Of G. A. O. won points in
the last foursome to annex the verdict,
beating F. P. Kelly and Ralph Cole
Of Veterans.
A feature Of play last week was
the steady climb Of War Department

that section with IA points won and
looks a sure winner unless Securities

how these other teams dig up good
golfers who might bump of any one

woman?
 No matter what the answer is to those questions, it is about time women realized, whether they are ever willing to admit 1t to men or not, that the average wife gets far more thanks for doing house. work than a stenographer gets for typing neat letters or a woman executive gets for doing three persons work.
 Wives have been known to put on scenes because a, meal got cold on the stove while a husband work ed late. But no stenographer gets temperamental when her employer says "I guess I don't need that, after all" about material it took her half day to get together. The boss doesn't even apologize (why should hep but the husband can be count ed on to be genuinely sorry. (Though why should he be SO humble about it?)
 When a wife isn't feeling up to par she lets the work slide-but not the working woman. She not only, does her usual amount of work, but forces herself to be pleas ant all day long.
 It's only in stories and movies that . business big shot gives his office wife credit for helping put over a deal, but most successful husbands tell the world their wives have helped all the way.
 It's not mheard-of for a husband to say You look tired. You go read the paper and I'll clear the table" But who ever heard an employer say to his secretary, "You run along and I'll finish this filing for you"?
 But wives will say, Well, if you work in an office you at least get pay check every week. That is very real thanks. But my husband grumbles every time I ask for a cent"
 Well, any woman who is smart enough to earn g pay check is smart enough-if she puts her mind to tito get business-like division of money in her marriage.
 And, spreaking of money, 1t isn't at all unusual for @ man to support a wife years after she has stopped living with him and keeping his house. But employers don't continue to pay employees after they decide 8 job wasn't all they hoped for and quit.
 There's just no common sense argument to support the feminine belief that homemaking is the most thankless job 6 woman can turn her hand to.

 Complex Is Natural
 Please explain difference between vitamin B-1 and the vitamin B com- plex you specify for supplementing the diet. (W. B. E)
 -Vitamin B complex means all of the entities or factors that grow naturally in or with vitamin B-including vitamin B-1 (thiamin) |, vitamin B-2 or G (ribohavin), anti gray half factor, anti-dermatitis fac- tor, weight factor, nicotine acid, black tongue, pellagra preventive factor, and several others. I believe vitamin B complex, as in wheat germ, yeast, rice polishings, vari- ous vegetables or concentrates made from these sources, is always prefer able to pure synthetic vitamin B (thiamin), although thiamin may be given intravenously or hypo- dermically with advantage.

If children want to share in the thrill of decora- tions not only can they help set up the tree but they can hang the wreaths at the windows and put the holly around in vases or tie miStletoe to the top lights.

 The scene under the tree may be left safely to these older children also. Let them improvise and n- vent. Of course, many parents go in for elaborate landscapes that require an older head, but feel that this is Children'S Day and the more they have to do with its preparation the better.
 Collections of animals may be added to each year, and if you have the beginning of pastoral set, or a creche or manager scene, it is easy to go on from there. However, if the children do the buying and bring home giraffes and elephants to browse on the same turf with chickens and COWS, whats the dif- ference?

NORTH AMERICTN BERI BERI
 The other day I commended the practice of supplementing the or dinary, everyday, refined diet, and particularly in cases of chronic in- testinal trouble or colon derange- ment (wrongly known as mucous colitis"O when the sufferer follows 8 smooth diet, with an adequate daily ration of vitamin B complex, either in the form of wheat germ, rice polishings or brewers yeast or combinations thereof.
 I mentioned the specific value of this practice for the many, many victims of masked or undiagnoSed beri beri (polyneuritis, multiple neu- ritis) in all parts of this country where refined cereals or cereal prod ucts constitute the main source of calories.
 Let us see how this masked or undiagnosed beri beri affects its many thousands of sufferers, peo- pie moderately well to do, able to enjoy what they believe are good living conditions, not aware of what ailS them but just aware that they haven't very good health:
 Weakness or the legs. especially after exertion. Palpitation and shortnes- of breath with slight eff fort. Pain, odd sensations, numb ness or tinglings in the legs, per- haps peculiar difficulty in moving the legs at time, or noticeable and unusual awkwardness in certain movements.
 Areas of edema (dropsical swell ling) here and there, and some times more general edema from weakness of heart muscle and con- sequent dilation
 Persistent pains in the legs as- sociated with numbness, tingling or other odd sensations, are prob- ably the commonest manifestation of North American, masked beri beri.
 In the presence of such manifes- tationS, especially if there is gen. eral malaise, constipation and loss of appetite or very poor appetite, eAAC CAld4lse TUT UIlc UcCteE U1ldC 1O1- lows the correction of the dietary deficiency or the regular daily prac- tice of supplementing the diet with vitamin B complex is extraordinary.
 In any case, there can be no pos sible harm in trying this out for Q few months. Either the patient may consume daily four or five ounces of wheat germ meal or two or three ounces of dried brewers yeast or one or two ounces of rice polishings, or any combination of these.
 The important point to remem. Der is that such vitamin B complex concentrates are NOT medicine, but food or food accessories, and if the supplementing of a deficient diet with such foods or food accessories is to have any lasting results of course 1t must be a regular habit, the same as breakfast.
