j Chess is a pure game of the mind. It is not social, the personalities of the players meeting only through the pieces. The game can be played by letter or telegraph as well as over a board, in fact the board and pieces may be merely imagined by two skilled players and the game proceed as a series of changing neutral pictures. The player is solitary in his thoughts, so is his opponent. Each pays the other the tact compliment of thinking him capable of any possible com bination and neutally analyzes the effects of each of these on his own structure of attack or defense.
So chess is apt to appeal to the contemplative, self-sufficient, analytical type of mind, and is a proper diversion for one whose work-a-day duties are more of a physical or social nature. Poker is the aneithesis of chess. It is a game of chance and contact of personalities. It is distinctly social and lends itself admirably to the diversion of the neutral worker seeking relaxation and social diversion. ine xnatiiemautai piuuauiuuca ui poker can be mastered in one session.

Motorists Now Taking Better Care of Cars Local Firestone Dealer Finds Owners Spending More for Upkeep That motorists are beginning to increase their expenditures on proper care of their cars was indicated by E. E. Pollard, local Firestone dis tributors at Thirteenth and Turner streets. 'We have noticed during the last few months that many motorists are having their cars lubricated oftener, changing the oil oftener and checking the performance of the car and especially the safety factors," said Mr. Pollard.
'Oil should be changed at least every thousand miles, as running the car too long with dirty, diluted or poor grade oil leads to expensive re pairs and increased fuel consump tion. "Faulty brakes have been the cause of a large portion of accidents. Drivers have now learned of this fact, and they are having their brakes ad justed regularly. "Proper care of the battery keeps the lights and electrical operation up to safs standards and prevents one of the most costly and troublesome hazards of motoring battery failure. More people are buying the extra power and superior types of Firestone batteries even though they cost a little more than other types in the line.
This is proven economy. "It is also false economy to run spark plugs over 10.000 miles or not to have them inspected at least every 5,000 miles especially, since the general ose of testing apparatus by deal ers and the developments for increas ed performance such as the remarkable new electrode perfected for Firestone spark plugs. Statistics and experience snow that the most damage from freezing comes with the early cold snaps, so don't put off safeguarding your car for all winter with a permanent anti freeze such as Firestone's new scien tifically perfected-liquid." Mr. Pollard indicated that the motoring public are not riding on bald headed" tires to the extent that they formerly did. "We are mounting any number of Firestone Gum- Dipped tires at the present time for motorists v ho heretofore have exacted the last mile out of their tires," he said.

' 'The last one thousand miles In a time is worth only 43 cents and the least expense is 50 cent, while in all probability you will have loss of time. soiled clothes, a wrecK or a nospitai bill in case of tire failure. Besides there is constant dancer from worn and non-gripping treads and that is whv Firestone has developed the most ancles of non-skid protection ever provided In any tread." Allentown Trojans Play .
