The Contest Editor mail is heavy
these days. Among the host of orders
for Answer Books, Proverb Books, and
back numbers of the Proverb Pictures,
there are scores of inquiries about points
in the rules of the contest that are not
clear in the mind of those who read them.
We are glad to extend every possible
help, but there are so many of these in
quiries that it is impossible to do more than
group them and answer number of them
at one time Watch the columns of The
Georgian each day, therefore, if you have
written us for more light on any point.
Even though you may not see your query
treated individually, you will surely find
the information you want. Today we take
up three questions that have been asked
by many during the past few days:
Q. What is the meaning of the word
Panhandler' used in the lettering that
accompanies picture Number "a?
A. Slang term Cor "Beggar.
O. Is it necessary to have three Answer
Books if ! desire to submit three sets of
answers
A. The Answer Book provides means
of sending in three sets of answers in one
book Three answer spaces are provided
on each page The contestant may use
one of these spaces on each page for each
set of answers sent in
O. How will you prevent the throwing
together of all three sets of answers in
making the awards if all three spaces in
the Answer Book is used?
A. Very easily The answer spaces are
numbered First Answer, Second An
swer," and Third Answer are the head
ings that appear over these spaces 1t
follows that the use of the First Answer
space under each picture completes the
first set of answers And the same is
true of the second and third answer
spaces Bear in mind that not more than
one of these answer spaces may be used
in any page unless the same number are
used in all of the other pages.
Inquiries are beginning to come III re
garding the method of wrapping, tying
and sending in solutions. Some nervous
contestants are concerned lest there be
danger that their solutions may be lost
after they are received by us. Be assured
that every care will be taken to safeguard
these packages Ample provision has al
ready been made and we will do our part
to prevent loss or lack of identification.
II is not too early, however, to warn con
testants that they must do their share
also. No set of solutions should be sent
in without bearing, in conspicuous place,
the name and address of the sender A
moment s reflection will show you how
necessary this is If you use the Answer
Book published by The Georgian, you
will find provision already made for this
feature Write your name and address
plainly under the words Submitted by
that you will find on the front cover. If
you use an Answer Book of your own
make. please make the same provision
for the prominent display of the name
and address
OF course, you will have plenty of time
for careful reviewing, compiling and send
ing in your set of answers What has

FAST LAS VEGAS, n. M, June
24.-The governor of the new
state of New Mexico hasn't
made up his mind yet about the
Johnson Flynn championship con-
test set for this place July 4.
Here last night Governor Will
liam R. Mcdonald told a commit
tee of the business men of Las
Vegas that he would issue a posi-
tive statement regarding the con-
test not later than this evening.
BY that time he proba bly, will be
in the state capital at Santa F'e,
from which point the statement
probably will come.
The governor arrived in the city
Saturday night and was met at
once by committee of the promi-
nent citizens of the town. He was

There is good reason to believe that
the bodies in space-both luminous and
enthusiastically fall together, and
bis conception of such an event was
given by Professor A. W. Bickerton In
a Royal institution lecture In England.
The collisions do not come at random.
Gravity and other agencies are at
work, aud before two suns collide they
come into each others influence for
hundreds OF years, being dra to-
ward each other with constantly in
creasiug speed As the velocity would
be proportionate to size. the collision
would take place In the same time
about three fourths of an hour-for all
bodies. With the collision, the two
stars become a new one, the tremen-
dous speed Is suddenly converted into
heat. and the explosive force expands
the new star at the rate of millions OF
miles an hour This, Professor Becker
ton believes. explains the origin OF
Nova Persei which suddenly flashed
out in 1901 with 10000 times the bril-
liancy of our sun. This star became
the brightest in the heavens except
Sirius and was the most brilliant new
star that has appeared in 300 years,

Earthquakes generally do their work
with great rapidity. but there are ex-
ceptions. While Caracas and Lisbon
were destroyed in few minutes. the
Calabrian earthquakes beginning in
1888 lasted four years Earthquakes
travel across the earth at velocities
varying between several hundred and
several thousand feet a second, the
greater the intensity of the shock the
greater being the velocity. The sen
waves that frequently accompany
also travel at tremendous
speeds. A submarine earthquake near
the coast of Japan In 1854 gave rise to
sea waves which traversed the whole
breadth of the Pacific at the rate OF
37O miles an hour AT Simoda, Japan
the waves from this earthquake wer
| thirty feet high. At San Diego, Cal
| they were only six inches high.

the Miami river, near Quincy, a few
days ago, Edward Lowe found let

written to the ghost which many
people believed lived in the house.
The letter was found in a tightly

date of 1916. The writing was 50
dim from age that it could not be
read, but examination under a mag
nifying glass showed that it was
made up of dots and dashes. Old
residents say the letter was writ
