fully, he will. nj doubt, get a I'M
that may help him to decide between
the different wording, etc.
As has been stated before, this is one
of the interesting features of the con-
test, and if contestants were not COM
PEELED to exercise great care and judg-
ment in their selection of these quota
lions. 1t would not be a contest of wit
and brains" Yes, Mr.. Belden, the pic
lures do specialize, literally, the word
ing of the quotations.
Raymond +. Davis, of 147 Orchard
street, Bloomfield, would k to
know, for example,: In giving a
quotation is it best to give the exact
wording as it originally appeared
when first written, OF would you
give the popular rendition of 1t as
one hears it usually repeated.
Give the exact wording and the pop
ular rendition as found in the STARS
book-by all means.
Mr.. Elmer w. Danenhown, 329 Wa
verify avenue, Newark. N. j., writes
a long letter about the following; Is
it necessary to use or inclose the
answers in quotation marks. I no.
tice that in the STARS book the
quotation is Straws show which
way the wind blows, and the illus
tration which was shown in the pa
per as an advertisement was en-
closed like this: "Straws show
which way the wind blows Was
the quotation in quotation marks
because it was to be separated
from the rest of the reading Or
not?
The use of quotation marks is liter
ally considered a correct form to use
In quoting or writing sentences or par
agraphs. In this contest they will
neither count for or against.
Mr.. Will A. Trench says:
I wish to let you know that an
swers are being semi in from one
address, las Ridgewood avenue, by
two different people; as I am
about to move from Sc Elm road, I
have signed all quotations to my
mothers address. In case of win
ming a prize does this make any
difference?
If Mr.. Trench is going to reside with
his mother, and if any more members
of his mothers household, that belong
to the same family. are competing In
the contest, only n member of his
family will be entitled to a prize,
should any of them stand among the
list of winners.
Master Valentine D. Vecchio, 104
Seventh avenue, asks the follow
ing: 81 have read in THE STAR
of this evening that you allow only
n answer on a blank. l thought
l read in this paper at the begin
ming of the contest that three
answers were allowed to each
blank. Now, if you will pardon
my mistakes, / will only give one
answer per blank hereafter. I
have looked forward to this con
test for days before it started. If
I am out of the contest on this ac-
count it will make me very des-
pondent. Please answer"
Master Vecchio is surely not out of
the contest by any means. But, as
only n answer issallowed on a blank,
1t will be necessary for him to start
a new set of answers and to be care
full hereafter not to put more than one
answer on a blank. You know the
judges in this contest won't pardon
anybody for mistakes. If Master
Vecchio would have read very care
fully the announcement before the
osoiI VI Tie ConleSt nc Nouiu nave us
covered that contestants were allowed
to send in 1903 answers in a seton an
average of three to each picture--but
each to be written upon a separate
blank. Again, and in order that all
contestants may understand this thor
oughly, the may be distrib-
nted as the contestant chooses; for
example, a contestant ma have sew
eral answers to certain pictures and
only one or two. as the case may be, to
others. The only restriction is that no
contestant will be allowed more than
10S W in a set.
