The child prodigy explains, througk i a staff of*interpreters who translate successively from the youngster’s Pol- isn into French or German. and thence, finally into English that ai chess players’ training differs mater- | ially from that undertaken by cham- pions in other lines when they pur themselves into combat form. © ._In clearing his intellectual decks for | action, young Samuel does everything else within his juvenile capacity ex- ept play chess. Thus) he is able to appear fresh and with an unburdened brain when called upon to match tac-‘ tics with his opponents, whom he hab- itually takes on fifteen to thirty at a ' time. Plays With Toys. So, in anticipation of a spirited tilt ; with some of the nation’s foremost champions, the youngster ‘is running | the gamut of youthful activity from playing Indian or chasing. cottontails | in the lds to operating a miniature railroud system and braving the dan- | ger of being soundly scolded by his | elders: should one of his toy locomo- tives jump_the tracks and mar the, polished parlor floor. For young Samuel, away from the chess board, to perform on which has been almost an obession. with him since the age of three, is a very nor- mal sort of little boy, rather shy, and backward with 'grownups)-but with 4 taste for diversion out-of-doors which would have entitled him to_place ‘ef, honor among the associates of Tom Sawyer, “Huck” Finn and the restof the “gang,” had he been an American and a contemporary of that noted so- ciety. One of his favorife diversions since coming to America has been learning to drive a new \automobile acquired for his use. Started at Three. According to Samtel's father, who is 4 player noted for his skill in’ Pot- ish chess circles, the boy first showed aptitude for the game at the age of three when he was taught the vari- ous moves of the chessmen. After playing through only\a few games the boy acquired such skilf that his father was rio longer any match for him.° Thereafter his skill and fame i creased apace, as, one by one, he met’ and overcame- the most formidable players of jhis native land and late of the entire continent. During the war, the youngster is said to have provided many an even- ing's amusement for Gexman officers at the expense of their fellows who | were humiliated by the stripling in in-} numerable games at army headquar- ters. ‘ Speculation on the source-of the boy’s skill has brought’ most of those interested in him to no certain knowl- ‘edge on the subject. He has a. prod- |igious memory gnd delights in glan- jcing at a board on which the men ar2 arrange@as in a game partly played, and then going back one, two or three years in his experience and teHing the ion and circumstances of his previous acquaintance with the prob- Jem presented.

In midsumnter, ' when the farmers’ ‘period of vautlay was nearly at an-end and their income verjpd was about to begin—after the probtem of production had been solved —a sharp decline occurred in the prices of practically all ‘farm pro- ducts.
