Here's an idea that makes
the most Of little space. Instead
Of a built-in bench around a
table, this design reverses the
treatment. The table is built-in,
as a counter, against the wall on
one side, and rounding the cor
ner against a partition on the
other. Chairs are scaled down.

Note that the idea is success
full, because part Of the counter
stands next to the partition.
Any one seated at the counter
can look over the partition and
have a view beyond, rather than
facing into a wall only a foot
away. The idea can be adapted
to a wall with windows, the
counter installed below the
windows, for the same reason.

houses electric appliances, and
it is designed so that the doors
revolve on a pivot. A push on

is credited with having intro
duced it in high court circles.
According to the legend, he was
50 bored that he offered half his
realm to anybody who could find
a new way of diverting him. Up
popped an ancient who taught
him how to play chess. you have
preserved my sanity" the poten-
tate said. Claim your reward"
The ancient asked for but a
single grain of wheat for the first
square on the chess board, double
that for the second, double that for
the third and so on down to the
sixty-fourth square. His Majesty
protested, why do you name
such a paltry reward?" Neverthe-
less he ordered the keeper Of the
granaries to satisfy the demand.
OF course it turned out that
there wasn't enough grain in
the world to pay him of before
the fortieth square had been
accounted for. If you don't be-
ieve me, figure it out yourself.
TODAY chess is probably the
most universally popular game
ever devised. In America, over
10000 enthusiasts play it through
the mails alone.
Chess is a game that usually is
played in slow motion, with in
finite planning and deliberation.
When Humphrey Bogart eked out
a living in his youth by taking on
all comers in a chess and check

ever, he made his moves so fast
that one opponent who CHANGED to

SLOW-MOTION MADNESS

"Bogey" isnot Hollywood only
chess player. John Wayne and
Marion Brando are devOtees of
the sport of shahs. Louis Berg tells
me when he saw BrandO on the set
of Julius Caesar" (see Page 3,
they played chess for a solid hour
without a word being spoken.
Finally BrandO, who was
badly behind, exploded, ''This
is the worst interview I've ever
had!"
THE RUS1IAl1 temperament is
peculiarly suited to chess. They
say that a Russian named Drosky-
charnof invented the greatest de-
fense in the history of the game.
He grew whiskers 50 long that they
hid all 16 of his pieces.
Droskycharnof got off ON the
wrong foot when he visited New
York. A literary critic discOn-
certed him completely by
pounding him ON the back and
demanding, II say, DrOshky,
old boy, have you led any good
rocks lately?'
THELAST STRAW. Sylvia Fine,
Mrs. Danny Kaye in private life,
tells the story of a West Coast
chess master whose five-year-old
son loved to watch him play, and
even accompanied him to Sacra-
mento for the state championship.
At a crucial point in the final
match. the father reached out to
move a knight.
Inc nVe-year-0lQ tugged urgent
ly at his sleeve and whispered,
Papa, don't move the horse"
The father reconsidered, suddenly
discovered that the move he had
contemplated would have cost him
the match, reoriented his strategy
and ultimately triumphed.
On the way home he gazed
proudly at his SON and asked,
ssWhat made you warn me not
TO move the horse?" The boy
explained simply, ''He looked

Free Education

freely given in every part Of this

really mean what We say when
we pride ourselves on the priv
ileges offered our citizens in the
field of education.
I am thinking of the schools
where the pupils must buy the
paints and brushes. sometimes
even the paper they use in the
art classes. am thinking of the
schools where the pupils must
buy their own musical instru-
ments If they want to play in the
orchestra: of the dues they must
pay to belong to the various
school organizations; of the fees
they have to pay for the use of
the laboratory: of the money
they have to produce to go on
the excursions to interesting
places and events. Children can
not earn this money. and par
ents have to meet the bills. often
under stress.
Few people today would say
that children do not need these
courses and experiences. Parents
covet them for their children and
they should certainly be avail
able to all children in the public
schools. The materials the chill
dren need should be furnished
them as a matter of course. The
musical instruments should be
general equipment for the schools
Of all grades. not just the high
schools. Children should start
early to study music and there is
no valid reason for not furnish
ing them with the materials and
the teachers. Music is a great
civilizer. have never met a mu-
sician, young or old, who was a
threat. to his community. Nor
have I known a child who loved
art work to be disturber of the
peace.
Lawbreakers, mental cases,
unadjusted people are very ex-
pensive to the taxpayers. Chill
dren who have and who profit
by richer education are not go
ing to fall into those groups.
They will be assets to their COM
munities and the money con-
tributed to make their education
really free will be we'll spent. It
will promote peace and good will
and usefulness. The freer educa-
ton is made. the less the cost to
taxpayers in time to come. Real
education, though, not the bare
and limited Three RS.
