Charles E. Sheetz, another HO

almost be called a tool collector as

YCHESS -
The Game and Its
Players
By Paul J. Miller,
Chess Editor of The Star.

It is toss-up between Emile
Skraly and Vincent Eaton in their
playod for the 1912 District chess
championship. Fortune impishly
waves her magic wand first over one,
then the other as they match move
for move, play for play, in the anti
climax of the strongest and largest
title fray ever held here-thanks to
the organizing ability of Hyman
Bronf1n, tournament director par
excellence.
In the initial playoff game the
tied kleiner meisters fenced warily
with one gazing occasionally hea-
venward, wistfully hoping for a
break. and the other nervously
jumping as the time clock rapidly
licked of the golden seconds that
measured each deliberation. There
could be but one result--a draw,
which DR.. Arnold Steinbach and
Willard Mutchler. referees, recorded
with mingled smiles and noncha-
liant shoulder shrugs. Draws always
are dull events for the spectators.
Last evening at Gordon Hotel the
District stars broke lances again.
The result? All, therein hangs tale
that will be told in this column come
Wednesday. Who emerged from the
Door of Doubt. the tiger or the lady?
Eaton or Skraly? A Roland or an
Oliver?

Ere leaving the subject of master
points, the Executive Committee OF
the American Contract Bridge
League is exercising what we fondly
believe to be a purely feminine
prerogative, and has changed its
mind in re the Asbury Point Cut.
There will be no deduction OF master
points for the duration of the warl
The reason for this is that many
master players are in the armed
forces and many others are en-
gagged in war work and have little
or no opportunity to participate in
tournaments and other point award
ing games.
The A. c. B. L. has also decided
that at all future tournaments. play
ers will be given a choice OF the
usual championship trophy or q
victory award. The latter will be
a beautifully inscribed certificate,
framed and stamped with the seal
of the league, testifying that not
only has it's holders won, but that
he has gladly donated the value OF
his earned trophy to the cause OF
war relief.

ACKNOWLEDGES WRIGHT CLAIMS

Inc smithsonian Institution, of Wash
lhgton, has given full credit to the WRIGHT
brothers as the true pioneer in airplane in
Ventlon and expresses the hope that its ac-
acknowledgement will end the twentv-ejght-
year controversy during which the Institu-
ton seemed to give undue credit to Samuel
P. Langley
AS a result of the attitude of the Smith
senian Institution, Orville Wright, in 1928,
sent the original Wright airplane TO Eng
land, stating atthe time his displeasure over
label which the Smithsonian Institution
had placed upon the Langley machine.
Briefly, in 1914, after a Court opinion
recognized the Wright Brothers as "pien-
GERS in the practical art of flying in heav-
ier-than-air machines" the Smithsonian
Institution permitted Glenn IT. Curtis to
take the Langley machine to his factory,
where after extensive reconstruction, it rose
in the air several times but without making
any sustained flight. The label to which
Oryille Wright objected, indicated that the
langley flying machine was the first ma
chine capable of flight
Orville Wright felt that the attitude of
the institution was unfair and misleading
He claimed that a total of thirty-five
changes had been made in the Langley ma
chine, involving almost every essential
feature of the plane.
Now, DR.. Charles B. Abbott, of the Smith
sonian Institution, acknowledges the valid
ity of the Wright claim and points out that
the Institution was misinformed when one
chine without modification made ''suc-
cessful flights

PAPER WORK

Uncle Sam is trying to conserve man.
power Oh the one hand and wastes it on the
ether. Tens of millions of manpower hours
are wasted by American business men in
filling out countless questionnaires, teem-
ing with questions that have nothing what
ever to do with winning the war.
The matter has become so intolerable
Senator Harry F. Byrd, Democrat of Vir-
GINA, and Senator Arthur E. Vandenberg,
Republican of Michigan, will file resolu-
ton in the senate to investigate the rapidly
multiplying missionaries that govern
ment agencies are sending to the people.
Key Westers feel the same as all other
good Americans about government activi-
ties during wartime: where they are essen
tial to the prosecution of the war, let them
go on to the limit but where they are petty
things, as many of the questionnaires are,
that not only waste the time of government
employees but also of civilians, trying 20
earn living and helping their government
at the same time, Key Westers feel that a
halt should be called, as Senators Byrd and
Vandenberg will endeavor to do.
Automobile owners in Key West got a
good idea of this QUESTIONABLE business a
few days ago, and are still getting it, for it
is not over yet in filling out two pages of
questions about tires. Ais one owner re-
marked, my five old Tires are not worth
the time it takes to fill out the question
naire. Spread throughout the country.
how many million manpower hours did the
filling cut of that QUESTIONABLE take, when
simple report could have fulfilled the DUR
pose just as we'll?
Federal employees have increased till
they now reach almost 3, 1000, 600, and their
salaries last Septmeber totalled $41O.862.-
600. With the discontinuance of useless
work, similar to the endless missionaries,
large percentage of those EMPLOYEES could
be placed in various types of work that are
essential to the war effort and their names
removed from the federal payroll.
the one thing, in prosecuting this war,
that the federal government is not needing
is the vastness of expenditures. No pairing
down, where pairing down will not hurt the
war effort, but spend, spend, spend, and
waste while you spend if you try 20 rbe
careful in spending it may. retaEd this or
that, whereas the pruning knife could be
used in cutting downsthe number of civilian
employees and saving the government manv
millions of dollars in salaries without in
terfering with the war effort; indeed, the
pruning would help the war effort by pro-
Vldlng more men to work in war industries
and not do, as they are doing now, "yast
amount of so-called paper work." as Sen
ator Vandenberg aptly points cut
