The state of expectancy which
has enveloped more than 6,ooO peo-
pie who participated in The Times

day receiving the congratulations CT
their friends upon being successful
in the greatest newspaper contest
which has ever been conducted by
a Washington newspaper.
1t IS natural that those who have
not won will feel more or less dis
appointed when they find that their
names are not among the winners,

win failed to find the right number.
or found it and were later than their
competitors in getting ii registered
for the prizes for the first correct
answers, or earlier than those who
registered the correct counts for the
prizes for the last correct estimates,

the same spirit of enterprise as those
who have come out ahead. How

win, and having won, they are en-
titled to all the credit and SatiSfac-
