White plays Pawn to K4. 1. Black plays in reply Pawn to OB3. The idea of this is to prepare for the advance of the Queens Pawn to Q4, keeping the Kings Pawn back. 2. White plays Pawn to 04. An inexperienced player might here be tempted to push on the KP (compare French Defence) to K5, but Black can usually count- er this after about six more moves. leaving Whites position weak in the centre. 2. Black plays Pawn to Q4. 3. White defends the threat- ened KP by OKt to, B3. + It will be obvious that White weakens his position by capturing the QP on this move. 3. Black takes the Pawn. 4. White takes the pawn with the Kt. 4 Black plays KKt to B3, threatening Whites unguarded Knight. 5. White will move the Kt rather than try to defend it in this position, although Bishop to Q3 would be effective. To this, Black would probably reply B-B4 and exchange his Bishop for the Kt. Much better is for White to move the Kt to KKt3, where he will occupy a good jumping off place for an attack on the King's side. D This constitutes, the initial 'stages of the Opening, and each player must now develop hig fighting pieces as he deems best, neither being in position yet to attack. For example, good con- tinuance might be: White(5) Kt-Kt3, Kt-B3, B-Q3 Castle, B-K3, P-B3, O-B2. Black--B-Kt5, P-Kt5, Kt-Q2, B-Q3, Castle, then a good choice of R-K1, or P-OKt3, followed zy P-B4 or BxKt. The advantage of this Defence lies in that it gives Black a more open game; restricts White's game until Black has been able to equalize. It requires very care- GRANT FLEMING, M.D. PNEUMONIA Pneumonia is one of the most serious and most fatal of the ac- ute diseases. In this country it is responsible for over eight thousand deaths each year, a higher death-rate than that of tuberculosis. The term pneumonia means in- flamation of the lungs, and it is used to include several forms of the disease which have one thing in common, congestion and solid- ification of one part of the lung. The onset of pneumonia is sud- den, a chill, lasting trom fifteen to thirty minutes or more, then fever, difficulty in breathing, and a dry cough, with pain in the doctor should be called, without chest which may. be severe, The delay, when such symptoms oc- cur. The disease occurs as the re- sult of the activity of a germ. It appears that the germ is wide- spread, and that the chances of its causing disease are tremen- dously increased if, for one reas- on or another, the general fitness of the body has been lowered. Pneumonia is more prevalent in the cities than in the country. This may be due to the over- crowding and to the lower stand- ards of living which are found in the city, and these mean greater chance spread for the germ anda lowering of physical fitness. Pneumonia reaches its height during the winter, and so it is as- sociated, in our minds, with cold. Cold, in itself, does not cause the disease, but exposure to cold, and other hardships favor the oc- currence of pneumonia. Children who have been weak- ened by disease not infrequently fall victims to pneumonia. Meas- les and whooping cough are. ser- ious diseases for many reasons, one of which is the frequency with which they are followed by a fatal pneumonia. Pheumonia- also-teaves its trail in the damages which it causes to the bodies of those who recover from an attack. As an example, the heart may suffer from the ful handling, however, by both players, as a slip in the opening moves is liable to cost the whole game. But it is a real good sport- ing defence. - Siealth Service OF THE Ganadian Medical Association Edited*by =~ ASSOCIATE SECRETARY poison given off by the germ of pneumonia. The prevention of pneumonia begins with keeping the body in good physical condition. The need for proper diet, fresh air and exercise continues the year round. The body should not be chilled by exposure to cold. Damp clothing and wet feet should be avoided. Over-heated rooms cause exces- sive perspiration; the clothing then becomes damp and the body is chilled when the individual goes out of doors. The regula- tion of the heat of rooms and the avoidance of over-clothing are real health measures. Colds should be avoided, but if they occur, they should not be neglected. The neglected cold has an unfortunate way of spreading down into the lungs and causing pneumonia. Persons who are suffering from colds and coughs should be avoided. If, notwithstanding precautions, a cold does occur, it is better to spend one or two days in_ bed than to run the risk of develop- ing pneumonia. The child who has been ill, par- ticularly the measles or whoop- ing cough, requires special care, not only during the course of the disease, but throughout convales- cence as well, so that he may not be exposed to the dangers of pneumonia. Safeguard yourself against pneumonia by paying attention to your general health. Questions concerning Heatrh, addressed to the Canadian Medical Association, 184 College Street.

OVED NINETY MILLION PAID POLICYHOLDERS BY SUN LIFE IN 1931 During the year 1931 the Sun Life of Canada paid to policy hold- ers over ninety million dollars, bringing the total amount paid to policyholders since organization to five hundred. and ninety million dollars. The company secured during 1931 over five hundred million dollars of new business, bringing the total assurances in force to over three billion dollars.

LEBOURDAIS Director, Division of Education, Canadian National Committe for Mental Hygiene BEING AN ONLY CHILD IS OFTEN A HANDICAP But if Parents are Wise Dangers Are not as Great as Formerly Believed A few years ago much was heard about the dangers likely to beset the path of an only child--a child with neither brothers nor sisters. Later studies by Psych- ologists show these early fears to be somewhat exaggerated. Nev- ertheless, it seems true that, ev- erything else being even, the only child runs greater than children in,a larger family of having the cards stacked against him in the game of life. In the first place, the only child too often is spoiled through being the sole object of his par- ent's love and attention. In fam- ilies where a second child is born the first must learn to take sec- ond place in his mother's affec- tion. He must also become ree- onciled to having the spotlight of attention shifted from himself to the new arrival. These are both valuable lessons in the very nec essary art of getting along with other people. risks Having an only child affects the parents as well. Many have been handicapped lives because of parental fastened upon thes is this way.

Every child need not necessarily bonds | look forward to such an unpleas- ant future. Nero and Confucious were both only children, but how widely different were their lives! In our modern civilization it is more than likely that one-child families will increase rather than decrease.
