This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan.
all the competitors risklng the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a
Stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose com.
petitive plan for club house on certain
corner Is not accepted has spent his labor on

prize He has substantial result to show
for his wOrk-One that will command its val

The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought 10 know better how to I'M
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who
studies 1t only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the rid of the idea that an
improvement can be too simple to be worth
patenting TIE simbler the better The
person who best succeeds In combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
