MRS. E7CHESONs GILMAN
FRESH AIR COMMITTEE

Mrs. Erland Etcheson has been
named chairman of the Pocomoke
Fresh Air Committee for 1910, spon-
sored by the Herald-Tribune of New
York City. Other members of the
committee who will work with her
are: Mrs. George S. Bunting, Mrs.
Norman Polk, Mrs. Harry Schoolfield,
Mrs. Herman Scher, Mr.. Fred Hen
edrson, Rev. John A. Ditto, Rev. G..
E. Lester, Rev. Robert B. Stewart
and Rev. John Wootten. Miss Alice
r. Young has been named chairman
of Publicity.
The committee was named after
Mrs. Valentine Seaman had visited
Pocomoke and included it on her list
of Friendly Towns. A concerted
effort will be made to obtain homes
for the fresh air visitors and plans
made for their entertainment while
they are in Pocomoke.
The children invited by friendly
town hosts are selected by service or
CARNATIONS who are familiar with
their home conditions. The Tribune
Fresh Air fund pays transportation
and each child sent out has two medi-
cal examinations. The only appeal
is for two weeks hospitality for some
little boy or girl in some home where
he or she will be treated kindly and
can enjoy fresh air and sunshine.

Sir William observed that his
Latin translation of "Scacchia
Ludus" was by Erskine, in 1886 But
1t was enough to start him musing,
coming couplets, turning blank
verse into rhyme.
The youthful scholar wrote on and
on. and from his fertile and in
genious mind there sprang an Eng
llsh imitation Of Vida's poetic imag-
cry. But his nymph became the
Dryad CaisSa, and the royal game of
chess became a game of the gods
who first learned its Jules from
Mars. CaiSSa and British nymphs"
brought the game to Merrie Eng
land, whereon the banks of the
crystal Thame' they played each
morn.
In 1771. at Oxford. Sir William
Jones published a collection of his
poems, which for the first time gave
the world his romantic conception
Of how chess came to Britain, and
from whence the British nymphs OBJ
tanned the game.
His love story of the wooing of
the Dryad Caissa for it is lay of
love and romance) by Mars was
kindly received. His heroine Caissa
supplanted Vida's nymph Scacchis
and modern chess players universal
ly have accepted Caissa as the
Muse of Chess.
From "Caissa or The Game of
Chess" comes the memorable lines
that begin this column. You will
enjoy perusing the l77-year-old
poetic romance of Mars and the
Dryad Caissa, as recounted by Sir
William Jones. and mentally you
will be surprised at its similarity to
Shakespeares love poem, Venus
and Adonis.''

Now turn to Sir William Jones

as contrived by the war god.
