and there one will say she needs . cake
OF soap, or a quart of potatoes. or q new
broom.
Orders Are "FiIIed."
The members OF the gang meet In their
''hang-outp and they compare notes.
They need three cans of corn. two
brooms, ten cakes of soap, etc.
The gang strolls over to the grocery
store on Ninth avenue. The leader goes
in and asks the grocer for a bottle Of
ginger ale. This causes the grocer to go
to the refrigerator in the rear. The gang
sweeps in. They knock over the boxes
and the barrels, grab what they can. and
tear away In different directions. Seldom
are they caught.
Then the "orders" are filled. The pro-
ceeds are equally divided and the gang
starts a game OF scrap or pitch penny"
They gamble until one boy has all the
money. He thereby wins the distinctive
honor Of being leader In the next raid.
He divides his pile" into two equal
parts. One-half he spends with the
gang" The rest he has the right to
squander in the company Of chosen
companion.
Is not this an adventurous life? In the
country the boys would use the same in
genuity in catching muskrats or shooting
squirrels. Hemmed in by the city they
make the best OF their environments.

Diligence WILL
Bring SUCCESS
You Cannot Be Too Careful with
the Large Awards at
Stake.
RECORD BOOK A GREAT AID

When you are getting out for such a
surely nor too carefully. So in making
your race for the $500 in awards offered
by The Herald in the Ben Franklin
Quiz the part of wisdom on your part
is to insure by all means the biggest
of these awards coming your way.
Every ounce of diligence exercised will
bring you SO much nearer the top.
II you need the Record Book, don't
hesitate about buying it,, 1t performs
a very valuable service to the entrant.
In itself. the Record Book will not bring
you an award. But here's the point. If
you are going cautiously. carefully TO
your award you probably have extra
answers to some of the photographs. In
some cases, you probably have not been
able TO narrow your solution down to
one definite answer about whose correct
ness there could be no doubt. You ought
to submit all of your possible answers.
Sending in extra solutions on coupons
will cost you considerable money. And
here is where the Record Book makes
itself valuable. 1t confers on you the
privilege of submitting as many as six
different solutions for each Photograph
without accompanying any of these So
lutions by coupons. Thus, for an initial
expenditure of b cents, you can submit
all of the solutions you care to, without
additional cost.
Another helpful feature with the
Record Book is the neatest way for sub
mitting solutions II works on n special
copyrighted system. When you see it
you will appreciate its convenience.
