.QU|PS EDITOR
AWARDS TWO
PRIZES
Here Is a Chance to Win
Money on Funny Things
in Classified Ads.

Folks, you've got the Quips Editor
fighting for life. The editor is showed
under. The mail is coming in great
punches: oddles and oddIes of letters
each containing from one to a dozen
quips. OF course not oil of them are
quips within the meaning of the word
as used by the Quips Editor. But
there are many. many good quips and
the Quips Editors stack Of dollar
bills is rapidly dwindling.
The Quips Editor, in a moment of
mental ALTERATION, promised that all
the quips passing muster would be
published. But if that were done,
1t would soon require a special edi-
tion of The Light to carry out the
arrangement
SO the Quips Editor is getting
harder and harder to please. But do
not fear-if you make a real quip
from a Classified Ad in The Light.
the Quips Editor is going to accept
it and reward your efforts with
nice, crispy new dollar bill.
WINNINGS TO CHARITY.
This is one of the most interesting
contests The Light has ever put on.
The Quips Editor has received many
letters telling of the fun that readers
are having, gathered about the table
in the evening reading the Classified
pages of The Light and digging for
quips. The Quips Editor too, has
been surprised at the cleverness of
some of the readers. Many Light
readers have entered into the contest
out of spirit of fun and when they
win the dollar bill for a quip prompt
ly write the Quips Editor to pass the
money along to some charity or holi
day fund named by them and in all
such cases, the Quips Editor gladly
complies.
But of course every winner of
uuir dollar will receive it promptly by
calling at the Classified Department
the The Light when his name is pub
lished and if he resides outside of
San Antonio. the Quips Editor will
gladly mail the dollar to him prompt
ly.
MIGHT GET COLD.
Here are two winners in the Quips
Contest for today.
The Quips Editor has a dollar bill
waiting for l.. Sprangler. 1927 High
land boulevard, who sends in this one !:
TWO furnished housekeeping rooms,
sink. garage, close-in, adjoining bath,
private family.
Il would like to know If the writer
Of the ad meant that the bath was
adjoining the garage" asks Mr..
Sprangler 1T would be rather cold
taking baths on winter nights if it
was"
Now we know the writer of the ad
didn't mean it that way but anyhow.
that's the way it sounded TO Mr..
Sprangler so he wins one, nice, new
bank note cashable at any store, shop
or bank in the L. s. A.
Miss Lucy Kcene, 313 South Pinto
street, selects this one and he's a dol
lar bill awaiting at The Light:
FRESH PAINTED WATER.

all newly painted and papered. car and
bus line two blocks. etc.
Miss Lucy wants to know how she
is going to her auto into an upstairs
garage but says nothing about the
cold water all newly painted and
papered.
Anyhow, the Quips Editor selects
her quip out of a stack of fifty or
more for a prize and places a dollar
10 her credit att he Classified counter.
Come in Miss Lucy and get the
money.
The Quips contest is going to con-
tinue folks. We are getting as much
fun out Of it as you are. So get
busy, read the ads closely and send
along your quips. The Quips Editor
is sitting up nights reading them and
laughing with you at the stacks of
humor you are providing out of the
Classified pages.
