problem separately by car or letter
giving the key move and subsequent
moves enecting checkmate. If your
key move is correct you will be
credited with as many points as
moves are necessary to effect mate.

may be wrong In every respect.
Example: Today's problem is a
two-mover, that is, 1t must be solved
in only two moves and should have
only one key-move that leads to
checkmate on the second move. For

Flashing an unheralded attack that
clicked with precision, Nebraska
rallied in the fourth period to gain
a TT tie with Indiana today in the

A crowd of $4,000 saw the game,
which was the second successive tie

An article appeared in recent
issue of the Homestead News
relative to trip made to Wash
ington, d. c. by Captain Harry
Pierce and members of the
Homestead Safety Patrol. Mr.
Pierce is a nephew of G. Sam B.
Curry, Criminal Court clerk OF
Key West. The article is repro
duced in part:
1.-THE trip through the head
quarters of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation was the high
point in the recent trip to Wash
ington for Capt. Harry Pierce OF
the Homestead Safety Patrol. and
his opinion was that his troop
mates would catalogue that as
the No. experience also. The
local school boy traffic cops
naturally saw with much interest
the fingerprint files, etc. Of the
most glamorous cops of the day,
the G.-Men.
The youngsters called at the
office of Senator G. o. Andrews
and were presented with cards
for the senate gallery. From
there they heard part of the de-
bate on the Florida Ship Canal
and other activities carried on.

MUSIC TREAT
FOR KEY WEST
CALLED OFF
PROPOSED ORCHESTRA EN-
TERTAINMENT CANCELLED
DUE TO LACK OF SUPPORT
IN OTHER CITIES

Music lovers in Key West dem
.onstrated their loyal support of
the musical treat that was offer
ed by the Florida Federal Orches-
ira, and are keenly disapppoint-
ed to learn that the trip to the
southernmost city in the u. S.
has been cancelled, not for lack
of support on the part of Key
West citizens, but solely because
other cities enroute, far more
able to sponsor this splendid Of
.fering, have fallen down on their
expected support.
I In order to make" Key West.
it was necessary to have at least
one other engagement, both going
and coming; and because that can
not be arranged, Key West is de-
prived of the expected treat.
Every one to whom the SYM
phony concert was mentioned
has worked enthusiastically to
make it possible. Certainly, the
failure to bring the orchestra
here is due to no lack of local
support and some of Key Vests
music lovers are already endeav-
oring to find ways and means to
provide this treat for this music
loving town.
George Mills White, who has
been managing the concert local
ly, expresses his regrets and
thanks the committee members
and others who have worked SO
hard to assure a successful con-
cert here.

Attorney H. H. Taylor said this
morning that with the changes,

tons that can be made to the

He also said that while it may
be difficult matter to secure the
required number of signatures

New England Pays Tribute
To Heroes Who Met Death
Aboard U. S. Submarine
Especial. TO The cifixen)
BY FRANK w. LOWERING

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., June 2.
The late New England Spring
time wove a mourning tapestry
with the purple of lilacs and the
pink and white or apple blossoms
for the rs sailor dead trapped in
the sunken United States SUBJ
marine Squalus fifteen miles at
sea in 40 fathoms, on Tuesdays
Northern Memorial Daya day
of such confusing memories as
New England never has known
before; least of all the Navy Yard
at Kittery, Maine, just across the
Piscataqua River from Ports
mouth, NJ H.
From the great concrete bridge
which spans this turbulent river
sweeping out of the Maine and
New Hampshire hills eastward to
the sea, hundreds of hands drop
ped into the swirling tide on
Memorial Day armfuls Of lilac
and apple blossoms. The flowers
spun in the sunlit air as they fell
to the foaming water and swiftly
whirled away, turning black as
the growing perspective reduced
their colors to tiny indefinable
splotches.
The ceremony at the Piscata-
qua bridge is carried out on each
returning Memorial Day, but this
year the decoration week had
brought tragedy and broken
hearts and poignant memories
which made the observance one
alone for the sailor dead in the
yesteryears but for the heroes who
went to their life's ending so few
brief days before.
Twenty one Gun Salute
At the Naval Station a salute
of 81 guns honored the memory
of the crew lost with the Squalus.

but more especially the men
whom a moment had parted for
ever the previous Tuesday after
noon.
just seven days of salvage
operations which drew tribute
from all the world, had passed
since the morning the Squalus

brought to the surface and the
nation focuses its attention
again on the human wreckage
within her smooth steel walls.
Tides and the sea continued
their mighty motion, caring not
for the works of man.
Brooklyn In Salute
A quarter of mile from the
spot where the famous rescue
ship, Falcon, swung at her moor
ings, the Cruiser Brooklyn, tenn
porary home of rescuers and
newspaper workers, fired salute
of 81 guns at intervals of q
minute. Then every man re-
turned to the work of the hour.
Com. A. E. Stone, chaplain at
the Portsmouth Naval Station,
referred in his address at the
naval cemetery within the yard.
to the dead out there at sea.
This was previous to the salute
of the United States marines and
the dolefll wall of taps" Com.
Stone said "it was in the per-
Torrance of duty every last
man at his appointed station
that the men of the Squalls
were cut off from us" Among
those gathered in mourning many
wore black. A few of them,
widows and orphans, wept. Lieut..
Oliver F. Naquin, commander Of
the Inflated submarine, led the
Squalls delegation to the ex-
ercises.
Plane Drops Wreaths
When the divers had gone back
to their task of carrying out the
rlavy's latest salvage p1an-to
move the sunken submarine in
land, under the surface, to shall
lower depths than the $40 feet in
which she lies--a plane flew
over the area, dropping floral
sprays and wreaths. This was
done by Cong. G. j. Bates Of
Salem, Mass. in behalf Of the Ma
tional House naval affairs COM
imittee.
But the most simple and touch
ing part of the observance was the
tapestried field of New England
lilacs and apple blossoms which
loving hands, inspired by griev-
ing hearts and minds, laid on the
breast of the lordly PiScataqua
as the river boiled eastward to
mingle with the blue-gray wa.
tiers of the North Atlantic.

tom of some wears standing. were
the guests of the Rotary Club al

The gathering place was at

sion, with scarlet hibiscus, ferns
and ported palms.
In a few. well chosen words,
President Ernest Ramsey vel
coined the graduates. Harry
knight. president of the class of
'39, made an excellent response.
During the luncheon, those
present were entertained with
musical selections by members of
the class, including a vocal solo
by Miss Virgie Key, accompanied
by John Robinson, and spirited
rendition of lei Rancho Grande.

President Harry Knight. then
introduced the class members in
dividually together with Prof.
Horace O'Brya1t and Mrs. Chas.
Thompson, class sponsor and
member of the faculty.
The principal address was de-
livered by Rev. Joe Tolle. who
chose as his subject, Making the
Best of Bad Mess. Mr.. Tolle
explained this by saying that the
world in which these young peo-
pie were entering was in bad
mess and he hoped that they
would be able to make something
out Of it.
He urged that they should bear
in mind these things: to have a
true test Of greatness; to realize
that youth is the gathering time
of life, and to make the best of
a bad mess.
The true test Of greatness, the
speakers stated. is service. No
man is great because he serves,
he said, but that man serves be-
cause he is great. and the pur-
pose with which Eve serve will
determine our measure of great
ness.
Rev. Tolle declared that youth
is LIES gathering time because
it is during that period when
youth gathers essential know
ledge and fundamental principles
and he urged those present to
endeavor to gather all that is
good during youth, as that would
determine to a large extent the
success in later years.
The speaker concluded his re-
marks with the hope that the
young people who are finding the
world in such bad conditions will
do something to make it better.
1T is not as important to be Sc
riousn he said. 'sas it is to be
serious about important things.
Find the important things of life,
and be serious about them.
