Goodrum of one dollar to the first
to give the correct solution.
Mr.. Ecker says the sum can't be
done by straight addition, but it can
be done this way:
81 plus 80 equals SO plus plus
plus 1 equals 100.
The figures are all there-count
'em-and it is done solely by addi-
ton, though the original and 8 do
not figure in the total.

1t is up to Mr.. Goodrum to do as
he sees fit about the dollar. He is
the judge and also the stake holder.
John Griffin, 1928 Tenth avenue,
says he can solve the problem by
straight addition, if the cipher is
used, and he would like to know if
anybody else has the answer.

We saw that we picked 1t up, and saw that we held the article; we could not feel that we had it."

That which has long been predicted very nearly happened Sunday evening when two automobiles found it neces- sary to try to pass each other under the overhead bridge. supporting the c. V. tracks near Forestville. The view of the road is cut off less than thirty yards beyond either side of the bridge owing to the fact that it is built somewhat on an angle. A Buick car owned by William Gordon of Haz- ardville was being driven westward and big Buick six was approaching the bridge from the west. When they saw each other they were too close to the bridge to stop completely, so they had to try to pass under together The big Buick was crowded close to the southern abutment and the ground, which is damp and porous gave way causing the car to be thrown against the wall. The right mudguards were badly damaged and the main driving shaft was somewhat sprung, but no one was hurt. The other car went by in safety. It was only through very good luck that a bad accident was averted. The danger is always there and it is troublesome for a single automobile to pass under this bridge. Autoists have continually complained of this spot, but nothing has been done. It is hoped that this occurance will help to start things moving tow ard ridding the town of such a danger.
