Winners
This Week?

" HILDREN, once again the puzzle
editor he's the painful duty of
W calling your attention to the fact
- that there are far less than the
full $50 prize winners. Why? Sure
" those puzzles Of May % were easy.
You all know about the different kinds
OF boats and the different things seen
in Jewelr- store, and yet there were
only III who guessed them correctly.
This is simply astonishing when il Is
considered that there were thousands
OF answers. Some OF the children
guessed 5ewelry for the whole eight
pictures, while others again gave the
names OF boats to all OF the puzzles.
Again, there were hundreds upon hun
dreds who guessed the first three boat
puzzles correctly, only TO stumble oyer
the fourth picture. many calling it g.
merchantmen. a barge, a cutter. a
launch, brig and even an ironclad
That was the widest sort OF guessing
for g very easy puzzle.
Bat even more hsphazard were the
guesses over the next four puzzIes-the
things seen in a jewelry store. These
puzzles, which we're thought to be by
far the easiest, you really made the
most blunders over, possibly because
there are so many things seen In a
Jewelry store.
For picture No. 5 there were ell sorts
OF answers-braceiets, belt buckle, spec
tacles, Jewel. ruby, diamond, etc, while
on the other hand you were all very
much agreed that picture No. was a
lOcket and picture No. a watch.
though there was again a great differ
ence OF opinion over picture No. 8,
many holding that il was a ring. but
many, many others claiming that fl
was something widely different.
Now, all Of this is most discouraging.
and the puzzle editor does not want
such sad state of affairs to occur
again. Those prizes. the whole I5o Of
them, arc meant particularly TO be won
by complete list OF $50 boys and girls
every week. so you must DO better.
The following are the lucky III prize
