If all the chess players in the

would make the Washington Monu-
ment look like stalk of asparagus
Perhaps the most assiduous group
are members of the Washington
Chess Divan, with quarters at 2445
Fifteenth street NV, opposite the
northern end of Meridian Park. The
divan does indeed own a sofa, but
derives its name rather from sew
eral London chess resorts of the last
century, Simpsons Divan being the
most famous. The club Is open every
evening and is accessible to members
at any time of the day or night, but
Wednesday evening is reserved for a
program of regularly scheduled
events and Saturday evening usual
ly sees another, either prearranged
or impromptu. William L. Burko is
the new president, while Norval P.
Wigginton continues as treasurer
chess director and benevolent despot
of the organization The annual
championship terminated in De-
cember with the victory of the au-
thor of these notes, who managed
to keep half a point ahead of the
youthful and talented Hans Ber-
liner, now in his first year at George
Washington University.
The Federal Chess Club meets
every Tuesday at 2431 Fourteenth
street NV. and schedules rapid
transit tourney for the first Tuesday
of the month. Vito Mirabile is
president and A. L. Pierce. secretary.
The championship tourney recently
concluded in playof between Ed

bureau building at the southwest
corner of Independence avenue and
Fourteenth street stopped all this,
and the daily coming and going Of
the many employees changed the
neighborhood entirely. Soon several
restaurants started in the neighbour
hood. Maggie Deutelin's refreSh-
ment booth was at No 224, across
from Allman's. and on the west side
of the street, where John, James and
Daniel Altman lived. George David
son had restaurant at the corner
of C and Fourteenth streets. Charles
Senseney kept open house at Four
teenth street and Ohio avenue.
Bureau Came in 1862
The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing is certainly one of the
greatest factories in the world and
one that has never failed to meet
any demand made upon it by the
Government. 1t was not provided
for by Congress until July II, 1862.
However, by 1878 the space occupied
by the bureau in the Treasury Build
ing had reached such proportions
that Congress finally agreed to
render relief and, accordingly, on
June 20, appropriated 1927, $50 for
the purchase of a site and for the
erecting thereon of a separate fire.
proof building.
In this connection 1t may be in
teresting to note that American pa
per money, known as Massachusetts
notes, was issued in 1890, and then
came-85 years later-the Conti-
mental bills, engraved by Paul Revere,
the best of the four engravers then
in this country. His famous ride
through Charleston to Concord on
the night of April 18, IT'S. to give
warning of the British expedition,
which was resisted the next, day at
Lexington and Concord-a service
which has been immortanzed by
LongfelloW in his poem. THE Mid
night Ride of Paul Revere"-will
cause this American patriot to be
long remembered. But this ride was
short one compared with the one
he made in 1774. when he rode on
horseback to New York and Phila-
delphia, scattering copies of the
Boston port bill. Revere subse-
quently became grand master Of
Masons of Massachusetts,, filling the
Office with honor and distinction.
1t was previously left vacant by
Gen. Joseph Warren. when that Of
fcer was killed at Breeds Hill, Juns
II, ITS.
Although the Constitution of the
United States went into effect on
March 4, 1889, for nearly three
quarters of a century the Govern
ment never saw any reason why IL
should make its own paper money,
and in the meantime several private
firms had sprung into existence and
were making handsome profit do
ing the work.
The Civil War, of course, made an
added demand for Government Sc
curities, and 1t also made an addi-
tional charge On the country for
interest, as is shown on the face Of
a series of notes issued on August
10, 1861. which placed the interest
at 73 cents, payable semi-annually,
and the privilege to convert the note
into a 20-year, per cent United
States bond also is stipulated. These
notes, in the denominations of $50,
500, $500, $1,000 and $4,000, were

Several years ago when the writer
was speaking of that part of Wash
ington south of the Mall, known to
the early Washingtonian as "the
Island" he received a letter from
Mrs. Mary Lloyd Willis, who said
she was born on the southwest
corner of B and Fourteenth streets.
or where the bureaus red brick
building still stands, and which was
the first separate structure erected
by the Government in Washington
for the engraving and printing Of
money.
Evidently the ground upon which
the old bureau building stands pre-
viously had been occupied by one
or more small frame residences and
shops, for 1t was here that Samuel
w. Lloyd, father of Mrs. Willis,
lived and had his carpenter shop,
and where Mrs. Willis was born, as
stated.

During the Civil War the prop
erty upon which now stands Uncle
Sans great money shops was oc-
cupied by part of the Quarter
master Corps. and here John Gately
was the backer. There was also,
nearby, a wheelwright and several
blacksmith shops and forges, and a
butcher shop conducted by Jesse,
Oliver and Rose VarnelI.
Looking toward the White House
one could see a field of tents in
the Monument Grounds, with the
great white obelisk only partly COM
pleted; horse and cattle corrals
lined the old sluggish Washington
Canal, and in the old lockhouse,
still standing at Seventeenth street
and Constitution avenue. lived
James McGuf1n, former Balti-
rl1pEean, while military activity was
apparent throughout this section.
On the east side of Fourteenth
street. a little south of B street,
lived at an early date family
named McHugh, and at what was
once No. 226 lived John Pettibone
in a frame house with double
porch to the south, which evidently
at one time overlooked the river.
OF course, this block is now COW
cred by a new building, occupied by
the Department of Agriculture. The
Piepenbrings also lived in this block,
as did Samuel w. K. Handy. who
about 1858 built Nos 238 and 240.
Early Residents Recalled
Here were. two houses which were
used as Gen. Casey's headquarters,
and 1t was in 23s that Mrs. Virginia
Handy West, daughter of Samuel
w. K. Handy, was born and was
later married to Charles E. West, at
one time member of the firm OF
Rudolph, West & Co. In 1908 this
house was sold to Alfred Costello.
On the southeast corner of B and
Fourteenth once lived John Joy
Edison and his brother, Joseph R.
Edison, when they were practicing
patent attorneys, back in the '70s.
Perhaps some will recall the home
of John Altman, on the west side of
the street, where stands the new
bureau building. He was a drover,
and in addition to keeping cows and
hogs, kept about everything that
goes with rural life, including
ducks and geese.

1t is appropriate that book with
New England background stepped
as much in the past as this one,
should involve its hero in an entan-
clement which originated in the
past. Jonathan Cartwright finds
that the war wrought changes on
his personality which completely
alters his outlook toward the allur-
ing "other woman" who had greatly
affected his life. The transforma-
ton creates new problems for him
and his town. The authors fluent
style lends movement to the plot
which flows casually from the peace
full background and surprises the
reader with its mounting intensity.

The author of this book again

his first work, "The Brick Foxhole"

a veteran, struggling with political
