THA NkS

THE STARS SIS suggestion contest is over.
Hundreds of readers have told us what they
think of the paper, and how in their opinion. il
might be bettered here and there
Some of these suggestions already have been
put into effect For instance, the daily feature.
OSCAR and Adolf was dropped from The Star yes
terday. Other suggested changes are under con-
sideration
A vast majority of the responses contained no
word of criticism. The Star was glad, indeed, to
hear from so many satisfied readers. But the pri-
mary object in holding the contest, and it was so
stated, was to obtain if possible, some helpful
criticisms. Letters of praise were considered, how
ever, equally with the others.
The SIS was awarded by committee selected
in the editorial department of The Star to Max A.
Silver 2i6 10th av.
The Star does not plead guilty to all the
counts in Mr.. Siver's indictment, but we like the
way he gets down to brass tackS and tells us what
he wants in HIS newspaper.
His letter will be found on the editorial page.
