BENEFICIAL OCCUPATION
IN THIS CONTEST

your family or that yourself may be the one to take any one OF
fifty prizes.
There is a condition-one condtion-it is a condition to
make this contest a typical home contest throughout Inc con-
diion is that you must be a permanent resident OF New Jersey
and must not be an employee either of the Morning or the EVE
Ming STAR.
Save for that one home=making exception the contest is as
simple and as refreshing as the water you drink.
For fifty days fifty picture proverbs will be printed in the
EVENING STAR. Each of these will represent some wellknown
English proyerb. You may send three answers to each daily
picture puzzle provided you send all answers on coupons of the
EVENING STAR for that day. Incorrect answers will not count
against you if you get the correct one.
But you must hold all answers until the last picture has
appeared; then send them arranged from the first picture to the
last to "The Proverb Editor, EVENING STAR, Newark, N. j."
The honest beauty OF L is that it will renew your childhood
whether you're a married man or a single man, and whether
you're a married woman or a single one. You'll find the game is
the same as you used to play for nothin in the old days.
This time there's this difference: If you are the man or
the woman or the child who sends in the most nearly correct
answer to the fifty problem pictures, the EVENING STAR will I'M
mediately turn into your possession the Jackson fye=passenger
machine. It's an automobile that will come to you fully equipped
=-an auto that you can't buy from the observation-disclosures Auto
Company that sells it here for less than Sl,415.
But there are the fifty other prizes. The second is the
Lauter=Iiumana. The Lauter=I1umana is worth the win
ming of the second prize. 1t is the best product of the Lauter
Company and the prize you get as second best for your fun in
this prOverb contest will be the pretfest Lauter=linmana that you
would pay $3.50 for if you weren't working out proverbs for the
EVENING STAR.

There's a real opening for every live brain in
Newark coming on April 10th. The opening is the OPEN
ing of the EVENING STAR Proverb Contest, and it
street to the man or woman or the child that wins it.
1t means famous pianO=players or famous pianos to the
other winners, with furniture and jewels until there
will be all told fifty prizes for the best answers to the
fifty problems that the EVENING STAR will propose.
The thing not to forget is that the contest runs
through fifty days and contains fifty proverb puzzles.
If you could get an automobile for a few nights fun in the
midst of your family would you help the wife and the youngsters
spell out some little proverbs. 1t would be the EVENING STAR
prOyerb contest, of course, and you would start on April 10
that's Wednesday next, and when you'd all gather about the
"sittin' room" table in the evening the mother would bring out
the EVENING STAR for that day and she would say whether
we win it or not father, it %brightens up a night for the little ones,
all around" And she would say "You know, too, it isn't only a
big Jackson FOur=Cylinder, Five=passenger Automobile as the
first prize, but an $3.50 Lauter=F1umana Player for second place
and a $3.50 Hanet & Davis as a fourth prize, and a $500 Wissner
Piano for fifth, and-there are half a hundred more. And
when you get to the "sittn' ROOM table the kids will be puz=
Zlng out that days problem aready-and# it will take you back
to the days of pr0verb and you'll come in with the fond
paternal wisdom and help 'em out on the proverbs YOUR
MOTHER USED TO TEACH YOU AT HER KNEES.
And sometimes you'll find the children will have you
"stumped' and thinking way far back. FOR THE MOTHER HAS
TAUGHT THEM SOME PROVERBS AT HER w KNEE.
Outside of eating it will be the healthiest thing you ever did to
go back to the proverbs again yourself and by the time you have
solved the fifty of them, with your family all around you, you'll
feel better for it, and the mother will be better for it, and the
kids will be better for it and-besides there's the fine chance that

hit with President Taft with his stories.
Those who were there say that he began
telling stories when he assembled the gang
plank on the first night out and was still
continuing telling stories as he descended
the gang plank in Washington.
He told one story which pleased the presi-
dent nightly, a story depicting the di-
vision in democratic ranks over reciprocity
and tariff. He said that there was once
in his section Of Tennessee a most famous
tobacco chewer. He probably was the
most inveterate chewer of the weed that
anybody ever saw. He was not dew
otee of any particular kind Of tobacco,
for all tobaccos tasted alike to him. One
day some mischievous boys cup up a lot
Of shavings, dipped them into licorice and
gave the package to the famous tobacco
eater. After turning ii around for ten
or fifteen minutes, sucking out the ncorice,
he said to a bystander: This tobacco
tastes all right, but 1t doesn't stick to-
