TIMES WORD CONTEST
BRINGS MANY REPLIES
Readers Big and Little Try
ing for Prizes.
SEND LISTS AND TRY AGAIN
A Competition in Which the Child
Stands as Good a Chance as
the Grown Man.

The word contest inaugurated in yes
terday's Times Is already attracting
widespread attention. and from all over
the territory where The Times circulates
answers are coming in rapidly. The so
lutions show great diversity. both in re-
gard to the number of words and the
letters left over. They indicate. too,
that contestants are trying many differ
cnt methods TO reach the best solution
One woman. who called at The Times
Office with her answer this morning.
stated that she had gone over the chart
three times. and each time reached a
different result. She was going over it
again TO see If she could not improve
upon the solution she has already sub
mitted.
All over Washington people are at
work on the problem. and the incoming
malls are bringing solutions from people
at a distance. One feature of import
ance In the present contest is the fact
that. no matter where one resides. he
has an equal chance with every other
contestant TO win one of the valuable
cash prizes. The contest Is such that
there Is no fixed solution. Contestants
have the matter entirely In their own
hands
It should be borne in mind that thfs
contest is not one where large vocabu-
larry win contribute assistance toward
the best solution. Simple words OF one
syllable VIII be the ones which VIII win
and there is not a man. woman or child
who reads The Times who is not IA
miliar with and has the ability. if he
can read and write at all. 10 make just
as large a list OF words as anybody else.
There are five cash prizes. ranging
from 800 to $40. The prizes viii all be
awarded before Christmas, so that the
winners viii have their money TO use
at that time. No one VIII be allowed to
win more than one prize.
Contestants will be permitted to put in
as many answers as they desire in com
peting for the prizes. so the advice OF
The Times is to go over the chart again,
after you have put In your first list Of
worde and see If you cannot improve
upofs 1t.
