POSTCARD POSTER - Pasting postcards and pictures on cardboard Is, a pretty way to
save treasured vacation memories.
CHILD'S PLAY
Saving postcards
By BUROKER &
HUNTSINGER
Once upon a time the ex-
pression, "a penny for your
thoughts" meant just that.
The United States Govern-
ment issued the first postal
message forms about 100
years ago and the cost was ex-
actly one cent.
Postcards existed even" be,
fore. that and there are many
claims as to who originated
the idea. But a, Frenchman,
•
Leon' Bernardeau, popµ►
larized such cards during the
Franca -German War so sol-
diers at the front could easily
.and inexpensively send mes-
sages to their families. Amer-
ican postcards, issued by the
government, first appeared in
May, 1873, and though the
price has steadily risen, this
particular form of mail serv-
ice remains a great bargain.
The cards from the post of-
fice don't include any pic.
11 CHESS TIME
Your son can be a
chessplayer
By JOSEPH MILL BROWN
With things as they are,
nowadays, it's an exercise in
frustration to ask your son
What he'd like to be when he
grows up. (He'd probably an-
swer, "Either a ballet dancer
or President of the United
States," . He • certainly
wouldn't want to be Hank
r nwho, wht }'he's: Washed
4kAnP1Ntilptlinoti l
�a Plo ?oo#:mO ranee;: be?
cause no one. will hire him as
he is already over forty: )
The correct answer is; let
your boy be a chessplayer.
His chances .of starving to
death will be greater than in
any other profession. But no-
where else will he live with a
sense of grandeur, a life of art
mixed with gamesmanship,
.intellectual stimulation *and
human drama.
History , is loaded with fa-
mous names who had no spe-
cial talent for chess, but who
knew grandeur when they saw
it. One- them was Leo Tot-
. stoy.
When a Czarist general ar-
rived to decorate him with St.
George's Cross for bravery in
the Crimean War, the great
man was nowhere to be found.
Tolstoy never did get his med-
al. When they finally located
him,. he was discovered play-
ing chess, and refused to,
break it off for the ceremony.
A few centuries. ago in Per-
sia, fitness for the job of a
Minister of State was deter-
mined by having the candi-
date sit and watch two other
people play chess. If he didn't
speak, he was considered the
kind of man one could have
confidence in. But if he
opened his mouth about the
game, he was automatically
rejected as unfit for public of-
fice.
In recent years the intrinsic
values of chess have once
again received their due rec-
ognition, but it wasn't always
so. In the nineteenth century
the well-publicized mental
breakdowns of Paul Morphy,
Wilhelm Steinitz, Harry Pills-
bury and Johannes Zukertort
had newspapers ascribing
their subsequent deaths to a
mysterious malady called
"brain fever," supposedly en-
demic to chessplayers whose
heads somehow caught fire
from too much cogitation.
They conveniently overlooked
the rest of the chessplaying
profession, many of whom
died from simply too much
smoking, too much drinking
and overeating.
Zukertort was a favorite
target. He was, and is, the
chess world's foremost exam-
ple of the Renaissance man.
Bern of Polish -Prussian nobil-
ity, he was a phenomenal lin-
guist, well -versed in English,
Italian, French, Spanish,
Greek, Latin, Hebrew and
Russian. He hada gift too for
Turkish, Arabic and Sanskrit.
(And for s'ac'rificial chess, as
in game below. If Black takes
the offered Queen on Move 28,
mate is forced in seven
moves.)
Zukertort was steeped in
l.nglish history, Shakespeare
and the classics. He studied
theology, philology, the ap-
plied and social sciences. (He
authored an article on prison
discipline and worked as a
music critic.) He was a versa-
_

scribed as th6 best domino
player in Berlin; praised as
one of the greatest living
whist players, and considered
a terrific pistol shot, capable
of hitting an ' ace of hearts at
fifteen paces.
Zukertort obtained a medi-
cal degree at 23, but continued
to study chemistry and physi-
ology at Heidelberg and Ber-
- lin. He was a journalist on
Bismark's private .newspa-
per, and later became a well-
known. political 'editor.
And from the depths of all
this, he rose to become one of
the greatest chessplayers of
his time.
