NEW PLAN EVOLVED
BY BOOKLOYERS
Some Contestants Believe Puzzles
Run in Circles" of Literary
Periods.

Books, books. and nothing but books, -
says one contestant in the Booklovers'
Contest, who writes to the effect that
his mind has been one continuous whirl
OF literary titles since the opening Of
the competition.
Another contestant writes: Il did not
know the full extent OF modern popular
fiction until l began to read some of the
publishers titles In connection with the
contest There are so many that they
would cause bewilderment even to those
who make a business of studying the
literary market"
Some Of those entered in the race think
they have evolved. from solutions which
they have already gained. a definite
chain or circle in which the puzzles are
running. The gaps in their lists they
are attempting to fill out in this man.
ner. They go on the assumption that a
certain group Of puzzles belong TO a GER
tain literary period. or TO a certain
author, and then make tests to ascertain
II they can Mt in the missing puzzle in
this way.
However the difficult puzzles have so
far evaded the best efforts of these
''locksmiths." and there is ample reason
to believe that they will remain so for
some time TO come. Scores of contest
ants are now practically running on
even terms, and as the finish approaches.
II is certain that narrow margins will
prevail among the leaders and that the
race will be nip and tuck until all the
returns are in.
The following are the three main prizes
offered to the successful contestants:
