Great interest has been shown in
the Bible question contest now being
carried on by the Federation Of
WOmen's Clubs in Washington, and
the committee says that not only are
many answers coming in TO head
quarters from young people, but the
grown-ups seem 10 get as much in
terest as their children. II has been
reported that great many adults are
sending in their answers, but il must
be known that the contest is for
young people under eighteen years Of
age. So the old folks won't be
eligible for the prizes.
