Note Any game that Is Interesting is worthy to be printed, and seldom do I see a game published that I could not correct at some one spot. My contributions are not to gain newspaper notoriety, but to help fill and boost checker columns, which at best are usually dry. A. H. BARNES. GAME MO. 526 SECOND DOUBLE CORNER.

Tilings problematic, if defective, rarely pass the censorship of H. E. Johnson, the wide-awake problem crUic of our club, with his governmental sual stamped on same. His evening hours are given over to review of what tho "boys" have plunced upon the world, and he combs the Pelds from Australia to the remotest American shores. Often he passes up the defects without itemizing sn m e in the papers, thinking, possibly, It wrro better to be a little chivalrous than to "carve up the turkev" out. of se.ison. When a Richmond, of world-wide fnme. undertakes to thrust such a defect Into his cranium he casis a smile a yard wide ptk pa vs. "The dea r old m:: n has stumbled." stum-bled."
