Then Cheer Up! 1t Means Your In
gcnuity TX Working Fine.
Here's something the Booklovers'
Contest Editor wants to take up with
contestants:
contestant writes
"A friend of mine in this contest tells
me that he has found title that suits
him to each picture. Now, 1 am trou-
bled about this, and want to know
what you think of it, for have found
from two to ten titles to each pic
ture. In other words. I have several
possible titles to each picture, and 1
really cannot decide which is the cor
rect title in each case.
This friend of mine found these IT,
ties just by going over the catalogue
very hurriedly, and jotting them down.
l, on the other hand. have used the
catalogue very thoroughly in checking
up on possible titles, and here T have
several likely titles to each picture
while he has one title that suits him
to each picture. How am 1 to cut
down my answers to one title to each
picture? My sister says not to do so
at all. What do you think about it?"
Dear Contestant: In the name Of
$1,000. the Contest Editor asks you to
wake up and listen to these words. Of
wisdom: You evidently have been
using your catalogue wisely and In
dustriously. Your ingenuity Is great
ing the correct title represented by
each picture. II all this were not true
you would not. believe me, have the
splendid variety of titles you say you
have.
Your friend evidently has been going
Mt the contest in hit-or-miss style,
probably devoting about one minute n
month to the game of solving pictures
He has accepted the fret title he has
encountered In the catalogue that
seemed to him to have any likelihood
of fitting picture. Do not envy him,
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-09-25

for you will not envy his standing
when the sets have been checked over
and the winners announced. Nine
tenths of the prize winners of other
Booklovers' Contests have used Answer
Books. which means that they have
submitted an average of several an
swers to each picture. All the grand
prize winners have submitted many
answers to each picture, You are
travelling. then. in prize winning fash
lon Your self-satisfied friend is bound
for the BOBBY prize just as surely as
tomorrow will follow to-day
Shrewdness. ingenuity, common
sense, are the things that win prizes
In this game--combined with a con-
slant use of the catalogue. You are
using these qualities else you never
would have the variety OF titles you
have found. There is no way for you
to tell which title Is tho correct one.
for that can only be determined when
the sets are checked over. The only
way to do is to submit all OF your
ingenuity, all your ability. This Is
advice not only to you. to fit your case.
II applies to every one in this contest.
Submit the best showing of what you
have done. Submit the full result of
your brightness. your cleverness, your
shrcwdness. You will need all you
have, In order to carry off first prize!
Your sister is right. Do not be too
eager to cut down your answers, un-
less you want to submit only n part
of your ability. You have succeeded In
nnding, let us say, an average of six
or seven answers to each picture To
cut down your answers to one for
each picture would mean that you
would submit only one-Bixth or one
seventh of your ingenuity.
Seems to be the common sense ad-
vice to shy: put all you've got into
this game-youll need 1t!

results OF q Bookloyers' Contest.
