IMPORTANT POINTERS FOR
QUOTATION HUNTERS
Many Contestants Have Not Carefully Read and
Followed the Rules. A Number Of An
SWerS Already Submitted Are Not
Eligible to the Competition.

Several days ago the Quotation Ed
tor and his staff of assistants began
sorting and filing the thousands OF
answers already sent in.
Needless to say that he was greatly
surprised to find so many of the an
swers, just recently submitted, not
eligible. In a number of cases con-
testants have violated the rules by
| sending in their answers on plain bits
of note paper. while others ave barred
themselves from the competition by
writing two or more answers on one
coupon.
The Quotation Editor takes this
means of notifying all contestants who
have made the above errors that I'M
less they correct their mistakes they
will be thrown out of the contest, for
as the rules plainly state; Only one
answer will be allowed on a blank and
no answers will be accepted that are
not written upon STAR blanks.
Contestants who have made such
mistakes may call at THE STAR office
or write in to the Quotation Editor,
enclosing 2 cents for expense of mail

Always growing. full of spleen;
Seeing in things not what they mean.
Face of gloom, in fact a crouch
That's a pessimist.

Always smiling, with air serene.
Taking things for what they seem.
Good words for all; knocks for none
That's an optimist.
