SCHEMES OF some GUESSERS
TO COUNT THE FAMOUS DOTS
There Is No Cessation Of Interest in The Puzzle and
Every Mail Brings BatcheS Of Answers to the
Evening Journal Office

varied. Several have used the necdle,
and pricked every dot in the design,
and counting as they proceeded.
Another has armed herself with a large
magnifying glass and touched each
dot with red ink. One woman has,
with tine scissors, cut the design into
small pieces and after pasting them on
a large sheet of paper, proceeded with
the count One young lady sat up all
night to complete the calculation, and
SO on. Everybody tries different
way, and, yet some of the dots dodge
out of sight. Out Of the large number
of estimates so far secured by the
Evening Journal, no two arc alike, so
it is evident that there is yet lots OF
room to win the prizes.
New schemes for solving the famous
dot puzzle are being devised every day
by some of the ingenious contestants
who are anxious to secure one of the
cash prizes. Many of the solvers have
cOntided to the puzzle manager how
they managed to reach what they are
sure is the right answer Strange to
say, all their skill in seeking methods
has been of no more avail than the
steady work of those who have simply
applied themselves to the task of
counting the dots in regular order
All the answers continue to vary as
much now as those submitted at the
opening of the contest, showing that
the latter attempts have not been any
more sure than the ones made by those
who sent in lists the first day.
One guesser took a peculiar view Of
the description of the puzzle. He
found that in the middle of the rec
'tangular there is the figure OF a shield
The description OF the puzzle speaks Of
figure" He outlined this figure
and counted four hundred odd dotf
therein. He took a chance on being
right.
The policemen are putting in theil
spare time with the dots, the mail car
riers are interested. bookkeepers, bank.
ers. cashiers. stenographers-al are
after the little specks. The schoo
boys and girls are not behind in the
procession and the chances are thai
some of the prizes will be captured by
them.

All sorts and conditions of people
are interested in the dot counting con-
test of the Evening Journal, and some
of their comments ON the subject are
often more amusing than cOmpli-
mentary. But they continue to count,
Just the same. A woman from Clayton
writes:
Il think the deviser of this dot puz-
zle can give himself credit for causing
more headache and injured eye sight
than anything else he could have de-
vised."
In Dockstader's Theatre last night
one OF the actors. during the progress
of his sketch, remarked: Conc on;
let us go down in the kitchen and
count the dots.
From the manner in which replies
have been pouring into this office, 1t
is evident that there has been no ces-
sation of interest in the now famous
dot puzzle. Yesterdays batch Of re-
ceipts was fully as large as the day be-
fore, and from present indications, to
day promises to outstrip both of thS
previous records. II appears 10 ne a
case of one person trying the puzzle
and then telling someone else about 1t,
and from this endless chain has arisen
a seemingly interminable list Of seek
ers after the prizes offered by the
BYening Journal
Little change can be recorded in the
situation of the contest. Just as many
people are going just as far astray
in their answers as at first. The
guesses continue to vary remarkably
So many of them are so very far from
the mark that it is evident that many
persons have not taken the pains to
count the dots. but have simply haz-
arded a guess as TO the number. In
consequence. there is still plenty OF
room for those who have not tried
A little patience and careful work
may bring some Of the money 20 one
who has waited dong after the impet
uous guessers have submitted theiI
answers.
There can be no doubt that the dot:
are very Elusive. Nearly all Of the
answers show that. no matter how
careful the work has been. there have
been some dots which have slipped
away from him and have not beer
counted. This has been true In seyera
instances where the contestant IA:
confidently informed the Evenins
Journal that he or she "has It cinched.
The 'cinch" has come within a few
points Of the mark. but not quite
near enough to win a prize
The methods Of searching for thl
! results Of the problem are exceedingl!

Said That Kent Unionists Will Hold
County Meeting Next Month
Special 10 tho Evening Journal


Dover. April 23.-The Union Repub-
licans now talk of holding their
county convention hero next month.
This will be an exceptionally early
opening Of the campaign and there is
an eager desire on the part Of many
of the politicians to know what is do
ing, and why the county convention is
coming before the State delegates as

that if convention is held it will only
be in order that the districts and hum
blest OF all the election workers may
confer and have opportunity to fully
express their views. Another reason
advanced from the outside however, IS
that the Addicks men are anxious to
get ahead Of any move that the Regu-
lars may make in the struggle IN
