BOOKS NEEDED IN
PROVERB CONTEST
Many Otherwise Correct An
swers Thrown Out Because
Wrongly Worded.

The answer to proverb illustration
No. in the Evening Star contest
was
Walls have ears.
The answer 10 illustration No. s
was
Birds OF feather flock together.
The Evening Star wishes to call the
attention of the contestants to the
first two illustrations which were an
swered Wednesday Owing to an
error quotation marks were placed
about each answer. This was abso-
lutely wrong and should not have &C.
CURED. No little trouble was caused
when several hundred letters from
contestants in regard to the mistake
were received at the Star office, and
the Evening Star takes the oppor-
tunity to explain to its readers that
the first two answers should not have
been printed with quotation marks.
In regard to proverb illustrations
Nos. and 8. which are answered
above, perhaps the one causing the
most trouble among the contestants
was No. I. Innumerable answers
were received with the answer incor-
rectly worded, as Even the walls
have ears" or Even walls have
ears" These were incorrect and must
be counted as such.
Some contestants made a mistake
in answering illustration No. by
putting a comma between feather
and flock. For example. Birds of a
feather, flock together" Several an
swers were received incorrectly word
ed, as 'All birds of feather flock
together" All these mistakes only go
to show how invaluable the proverb

will be forfeited to the State II judg-

Sickles came to the old soldiers res
cue by pawning her Jewels. She and
her husband have been separated for

bring about a reconciliation, and SUBJ

SAYS WILSON WILL
/. FAVOR THE BRITISH
Commerce Committeeman Ad-
amson Thinks He Will Repeal
Free Toll Canal Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Chairman
Adamson, of the House commerce
committee, in formal statement to-
day, predicted that one of President
elect Wilson's first requests upon the
incoming Congress would be for a
repeal of the free passage provision
in the Panama canal act applying to
American ships.
IF Secretary Knox succeeds in
avoiding or postponing the demands
of England" said Mr.. Adamson, "he
will undoubtedly also remove all
foundation for the illogical claims of
our people, who say they are opposed
to subsidies, but still favor discrimi-
nation in favor of coastwise ships
from tolls, which is subsidy. Eng
land may justly complain that if the
canal is to be used as an instrument
to distribute subsidies under the
treaty, those subsidies must be equal
to all nations.
81 would not at all object to a
brush with England If we had a just
cause, but it looks very foolish and
Improbable to maintain any sort
of row with her, commercial, diplo-
matte or warlike."
