PERSISTENTCY Will
Bring SUCCESS
Common Sense and Clearness Of Per.
cepion Are Necessary in
Solving Photographs.
500 WILL RECEIVE AWARDS

Although we've said that every one
has IL within his or her power to cap
ture one of the 200 awards offered by
The Herald in the Ben Franklin Quiz,
We do not want to be taken as having
said that EVERY ONE will capture an
award.
We cannot prophecy with accuracy that
YOU will be one OF those who will get
an award.
But this point We wish to impress upon
you. With the proper exercise OF your
talents. you can solve a high enough per-
centage OF the Photographs to bring you
honors and an award.
The gifts you need to solve the picto-
graphs are n clearness OF perception, and
common sense IT applying the sayings
to the photographs. These are the gifts
which you display in every day life.
There's also another quality neces-
sary and one that is not so common,
namely. persistence or stick-to-it-iveness.
From our knowledge of human nature,
we venture TO predict that some entrants
who have started with enthusiasm and
great briIliance will lag behind after
while. will grow careless and superficial.
and thus lose ous to those who have gone
the steady route. That's how you can
win out.
Therefore We say if to your skill as
a puzzlist you add perseverance, you can
safely bet yourself an outfit Of Easter
clothes that you will finish among the
winners.

POLICE drag RIVER in
SEARCH FOR LOST boy
Begin Thorough Test Of Theory that
Warren McCarriek Was Drowned.
Not Kidnapped.
DOGS WILL FOLLOW TRAIL

Philadelphia, March 24.-A systematic
and thorough test Of the theory that
seven-year Warren McCsrrick was
drowned In the schuylkili when he dis
appeared from his home twelve days
ago was begun by the police this morn
ing.
Until the last day or two the police
had worked on the supposition that the
boy had been abducted. The total lack
Of any apparent motive for kidnapping
has lent strength to the belief that the
boy met death by accident
The police boat John b. Reyburn be-
gan to grapple in the Schuylkill at 10
o'clock this morning. The boat will work
down to League Island and back to Lom-
bard street.
The drowning theory has been held by
some members Of the searching force
for some time. When the boy disappeared
he wore new pair of hip boots tightly
buckled. 1t Is suggested that he may>have
waded into the stream to see how far
he could go without the water rising
above the boot tops and may have slipped
into deep water.
-Four men who were arrested late yes
terday In New Jersey on suspicion were
released today
Word was received from Newark. y.
J., today that Joseph Leib and Leo
Hirsch had seen a boy answering War

pany Of gypsies on the outskirts of that
city two days after the lad disappeared.

gated, but none appear very promising

been offered by their owners. These

cd the following extract from report
he had received from Capt Winterburn
L. S. A.. at Del Rio:
Two hundred and fifty federals fought
forty-five constituencies opposite
Cienegas River, five miles west of here
The rebels plunged into the Rio Grande
and attempted to escape. Fifteen OF
them were killed in the river. Twenty
nine were caught by the border patrol

thorities.
The federals deliberately fired over 500
shots at the border patrol. on this side
of the river. The fire was returned by

The captain did not make any state
ment of casualties, and it is assumed at
the War Department that there were
none so far as the American troopers
were concerned.

United PRESS MAN NEARLY
STARVED IN MONEY PANIC
(By William Philip Simms, United
Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Aug 10y mail to New
York)-Mark Twain with his $4,000
bank note which he found impossible
to spend had nothing on me. 1 came
near starving in the city of Paris, the
city of paramount cafes and restau-
rants, with my pockets lined with $40
bills, or rather with 100-franc notes,
because nobody had change.
1t was Thursday, July 80, the day
the money panic struck Paris. The
officials didn't call it a panic and
probably would have been expelled
from French territory any CORE
spondent sending out the news of it
as such.
But by whatever name one calls it,
it fell so suddenly on the city that few
knew it had fallen until caught tight
ly under its stomach-fattening
weight.
Quite serenely left the Office at Z
o'clock after a day of war news,
rumors of French mobilization and
the arrest of an editor who printed
too much news. l took seat on the
terrace fronting the Cafe Cardinal, on
the Grand BouleVards. 1t is one of
the biggest in the city.
had an appetizer and cigar and
asked to have one of my 100-franc
notes changed. The restaurant was
changing nothing higher than louis
($4 pieces). barely had the change,
but made the payment, scraping my
pockets of the last cent.
Then 1 went to LIE. Petit Richie, a !
fair-sized restaurant in the Rue LIE |
Peletier. Being rather hungry order
ed a fairly imposing meal. The waiter |
respectfully inquired:
HAS monsieur the money to pay
for this order? l beg monsieur's par
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-08-10
change.

l found the same thing at the next
restaurant went to; Hunbin's, in the
Rue Druout; and at Gauclair's, in the
Rue de Richelieu; and at the third
and fourth and fifth eating houses.
All the time my hunger was grow
ing. Then tried the more presump-
tuous restaurants the Cafe Richie,
the Cafe Viennois, the Cafe American,
the Cafe de la Paix, the Grand Cafe.
Everywhere was met by the same
thing, conspicuous sign reading:
Larger sums than 81 GO francs)
not changed here" Or Customers
not provided with change will not be
served"
1t was a desperate situation. Nor
was it solved until met a fellow cor
respondent and the two of us went to
the Cafe de Paris and had a SO din
ner between US. There we got in
change for a 100-franc note dinner
and a 50-franc note.
The next day at the bank l was
quietly, almost secretly, given a fifty
franc note and 10 silver five-franc
pieces in exchange for a 10O-franc
bill. Though the silver almost pulled
my pants off 1 was never so proud
in my life.
Later 1 learned that housewives
either had to buy on credit or go
without market produce, small mer-
chants being caught without a par
ticle of change. Department stores
did a tremendous business in petty
purchasers invariably tender
ing paper money in order to get the
change.
The unprecedented situation was
largely due to the thrifty French
changing their paper into gold and
silver and sailing it away against war
times. The change shortage lasted
until the Bank Of France put out five
and 20-franc notes.
Then came a rush to obtain the
divisional money. Lines, eight and
