mailed to each winner an order on the
Metropolitan opera house box Office for
two seats and T h Globe must again
Il congratulate the twenty fortunate enough
to secure seats on the delightful treat In
store for them.
How did the answers come in?
The concealed word contest was a pro-
nounced success. The readers Of T h e
G / o b 9 had read the announcements OF
the contest and before the sun pushed
up over the housetops many of them
were Up waiting for the papers.
The carriers plodded through the snow
and then the contest was on in earnest
The concealed words were located on the
want page, and then big scissors, little
scissors, buttonhole scissors, and even
knives were pushed through the want
pages and the ads containing the con-
cealed words were brought forth.
The contest was not a hard one. Some
where in an ad calling for reliable
business man was found the word NAT,
a search through lost report found the
word GOODWIN, a. real estate rot13
concealed the word WHEN, an offer to
rent room furnished a hiding place for
the word WE, a, glance through bust
ness college ad found the word WE'RE.
The TWENTY was buried in a dentists
notice, and ONE started the third line
Of an offer to sell a stone quarry.
The words were all there and the con-
! test looked easy to the ones guessing
right, but others found other words, or
thought they did-concealed in other ads
and the contest editor found many an
| swers that were pushed on to the waste
basket.

placed upon his expense account, Is I'M

The number of correct guesses was sur
prisingly large, less than 100 being in

The interest in the contest surprised

editor. The second delivery brought q

early in the day and continued ringing

contest and the editors arm went lame

contest man that they hoped they would
not be overlooked. The editor assured
them that he hoped so, too, but some OF
