IN LAST TIMES CONTEST
But It's Different Now, for Limits Are
Defined and Perseverance

IN LAST TIMES CONTEST

An official at the Library of Congress
who called at The Times Office this
morning said that he was grateful to
The Times for putting the dictionary
out OF business in the present word and
letter contest.
During the last contest he said the
demand for dictionaries became so great
that the string Of people waiting to get
chance at the books resembIed the
rush in barber shop Saturday night
The dictionaries showed greater wear
than they ordinarily do in a year
Perseverance Will Count.
The present contest is wholly UP TO
the ingenuity and perseverance of con-
testants. Perseverance viii probably
count for mere than ingenuity. A sub
scriber in Port Republic. Va. who has
been working on the new problem. says
that by the grouping Of the letters in
the chart against an equivalent number
of letters in the words the puzzle be-
comes a problem in analysis which. in
his Judgment. makes II easier than the
first.
While this may be true i'm some re-
spects. the answers so far received show
much greater discrepancies than those
In the first contest. The number OF
words run less and the unused letters
more. The differences in the latter. of
course, are much greater than in the
former. In all probability the unused
letters will cut more OF a figure than
the number Of words contestants can
make.
Closes February IS.
The contest closes Saturday night.
February Is. just three weeks and two
days from today. With the necessity OF
referring TO the dictionary out OF the
way, and consequently the work of de-
termining the awards greatly simplified.
