THE NEW PUZZLE is PRIMAL
ACROSTIC OF ADVERTISERS

Did you ever try to make up primal
acrostic?
Did you ever try to form a name word
or phrase Of the first letters OF certain
lines?
1t is an interesting mental exercise,
and this week it will prove not only in
teresting but remUnerative, as well, for
the author of the new puzzle has Sc
lected from the advertisements which
have recently appeared IN The Washing
ton Herald the names Of twenty-seven
adyerstisers each representing different
class of business, and has so arranged
them that their initial letters, reading
from top to bottom, make the following
sentence;
AIDS ADS.
The solution of this puzzle consists in
making a similar acrostic from the names
of firms, &C., which have recently ap-
peared among The Herald's advertise
ments. In selecting the twenty-seven
firms &c, the initial letters of which
will make the desired sentence, the index
system used in directories should be fol-
lowed. Examples: S. Kann, Sons & Co.
and The Plaza are indexed as
Kann. S.. Sons & Co.
Plaza, The.
AS neitser K nor P appears in the
stated sentence these names cannot be
used in the solution.
You will observe by reading the adver-
tisements that several combinations OF
names of advertisers can be found from
which the acrostic can be formed, hence
it is not probable that any person will
be lucky enough to send in a solution eX-
sctly agreeing with the one in my pos
session. On the other hand, as it is
simple matter TO get up a list as indi-
Gated herein, expect that every member
of the Puzzle Circle will be heard from
this week.
So get busy. Make sure that your
acrostic will be sent in time to reach this
office not later than noon next Friday,
and remember that solutions arriving
after that time are not eligible for a
prize
The usual conditions govern the con-
test. Only one solution can be submitted
by an individual. Children not more than
fifteen years old must state their age in
addition to name and address.
Three cash prizes will be awarded. as
follows: To the two grown-upS from
whom the first two most nearly correct
acrostics las compared with the one in
my possession) are received, S3 and 81;
and to the boy or, girl not more than
fifteen years old who sends in the first
most nearly correct solution in the chill
dren's class. 81.
Everybody is invited to send me q list
of Herald ads. the initial letters of which,
reading from top to bottom, form the
stipulated sentence. J. c. NJ.

SERIOUS DEFECT IN

One is rather shocked in this day OF

These changes have gradually come
about through isolated discoveries that a

not have to prove that honesty between
master and slave Is either an accident or

Love for its own sake can only exist
between a man and a woman mentally
mated, for only then is complete, un-

Saroen, ana Sne, realizing some
thing unusual had happened, sent back
another one, and waited patiently to
learn why the rose had suddenly grown
so happy.
And all the while the little brown
spider was spinning yards and yards of
air-thin thread.
'Oh. here comes the little breeze back
from the sick child's ROOM" whispered
the rose, excitedly. Are you ready,
little spider? Are you ready?"
"All ready" answered the spider, con-
fdently.
Then the breeze reached them, and as
he passed by the little spider flung out
a tiny silver strand, shouting at the
same time: Little breeze, will you
carry this line to the lily for the roser'
Il shall be happy to-" shouted back
the breeze, and as he brushed across
the garden the web of silver began to
unravel into a perfect garden telephone
line.
From afar the lily understood. and she
almost cried with Joy as the breeze
fastened the line about her frail body
The impatient rose at the other end
could not wait, and he started talking
at once.

derful heart" the leaves would say.
But that didn't satisfy the little
spider. He wanted every pretty grow
ing thing in the garden to know it-the
roses, the lilies, carnations. and mari
colds. The hollyhock leaves were sad
because the little spider did not have
the chance to show what a really nice
spider ne was, and they had promised
him IL they ever thought Of way for
him to prove his worth they would
gladly tell him. And it was in that
hope alone that the spider lived. He
had absolute faith in the good leaves.
Now, one beautiful day sudden buzz
of conversation pervaded the whole
flower garden. Certainly something I'M
usual had happened, and in his excite
ment' the little brown spider began to
crawl hurriedly UP the hollyhock stalk.
Here, here! Where are you going in
such a hurry?" cried one OF the leaves,
and the spider paused in his climbing.
What is all the trouble?' he asked.
II was Just about to tell you," said
the leaf, and with that the spider came
back to listen.
'It is all very sad" began the leaf.
You know the beautiful red rose who
lives in the northern end of the flower
garden? Well, he is In love with the
tall. sweet lily who lives at the other
end, and he is so very far away that
he cannot tell her of his love"
"Oh, IL I could only help them!" said
the little spider, half aloud.
Il wish you could" said the leaf.

But the saddest part of it." con-
tinued the hollyhock leaf, '1s that the
lily loves the rose. A passing breeze

But why cannot the little breeze
carry messages back and forth between
them?' asked the little spider.

Little Bed-Tim Tales m 81 se.z=44y

Once upon a time, away down
in the shadows of a beautiful
flower garden, there lived q
little brown spider. He wasn't
very pretty to look at, but he
had a wonderful heart. Day
after day he would hide under
the leaves of a great hollyhock
stalk, bemoaning the fact that he
was so very ugly. He yearned
for one thing above all else,
and that was to have all the
flowers know what a kind, sweet
heart he had. His greatest
friends were the soft, green
hollyhock leaves that sheltered
him, and for hours the spider
would talk with them as he
spun tiny silver threads for his
web.
I'VE know Won haye a won-
