and 7 had no trouble in getting as many
answers as 7 thought should be given"
An Agree ON IL.
Other contestants who won prizes in the
first contest also ascribe their success to
the use Of the catalogue They said they
never would have won had they been with
ont thia book. The Bee urged contestants
in the first game TO get copies of the
catalogue. for IL was known then that
these books would be needed IL prizes were
to be obtained Before the start Of the
second game The Bee again urges com
testants to be supplied with the new
catalogues which will be on sale at the
business office of The Bee this week. Get
the catalogues early and then you viii
have a grand chance Of winning one Of
the big prizes.
PIaaat from Contestant.
One lone complaint came to The Bee be-
cause Of the manner i'm which the answers
were made to the puzzles in the first con-
test. The writer OF this special communi-
cation does not think that the pictures
should be made enigmaucal. but that they
should represent just what all can see He
evidently wants them to look like the pic
lures in some piano contest, where all one
has to do is TO find the head Of a horse
Or locate the figure OF something else.
II the puzzles were made as easy az this
writer suggests there would be hundreds of
lies and no one would have any better
chance than any other contestant. The
author OF the complaint should remember
that The Bees first BOOklovers contest
was the easiest Of its kind ever conducted
anywhere. In one Of the easiest cortes
run in New York the winner missed SIX
teen. In the Bees game the winner miss,
only three
The complaineT writes as follows
Since you announce another Booklover
contest, permit me to ask IL ii viii /

pi The picture is that OF a boy returning
70 a lady a lost pocketbook. That is ths
editors idea OF a picture suggesting O.
The list from which selections are to be
made is book bearing the title, The
Alsslng Focketoook No. . might furnis1
another illustrations cliff. a man de-
5cending. but from his position in the
picture he could not have fallen from the
cliff: Yet from the list containing such
titles as The Descent of Man. Bound
Down ct cetera, the editor calls that The
FAN of Man" No. 81 is a picture OF a
man. The editor dubs il The Lon ana
asks us TO guess that the man does not
count, while his list contains such titles
IS The Jaws Of Death" In Peril OF His
Life. The Crisis" et cetera. He calls a
Fellow on his hands ana knees making
garden in a back yard-No. 1.-THE
PlaH ter, While his list contains the name
Garden Making. He pictures a woman
going in through a stage entrance and
named it The Show Girl" from a list CON
tanning such names a. The Actress'' and
a Play Actress" He pictures a man be-
tore bar Of justice receiving sixty-day
sentence and expects US to reason that All
there is to picture No. - Is Judge"
when his list includes The Malefactor
The Man Who Was Guilty" "a BREAKER
OF Laws. The Trial, THE Prisoner az
the Bar and others
Is II TO be a guessing game or will the
pictures represent the titles OF the book
selected more accurately or equally as ac-
cnrate as other BOOKS in the list?
The points brought out in this CON
testant's letter are very good and give The
Bee an oportuniuty to say this contest viii
be run on the same lines as the first one
This newspaper believes that no other
system could be so successful and IL Is
thought that with this explanation this con-
testant as we'll all others viii be en-
thusiastic for the new opportunity.
