 Mrs. Grace Bowman, Douglas.
 Bill Kiloh, Juneau.

 Many Answers Submitted
 Many answers were submitted, 30 percent of which were correct. Entries ranging from crude pencil efforts to the most elaborate and bizarre layouts came piling into the office of the Capitol theatre, following the announcement of the contest in the Tuesday edition of the Alaska Daily Empire Although each of the 16 ads of local mer- chants contained one recognized mistake, answers revealed as high as 25 mistakes, correct and incor- rect.
 If but one first prize had been offered the judges would have been unanimous in nominating Lillian D. Reed of this city, the winner. Her entry was not only letter per- feet but written in beautiful script style, very neatly arranged.
 One Mistake Fatal
 Some of the entries, although attention compelling in their neat ness, were cast aside because of one one mistake. Others fell down on the simplest of words. Others spelled a merchants name wrong.
 Some of the answers deserving honorable mention included those of Mrs. E. G. Wentland, Walter Holmquist, Katherine Torkelson and Mrs. T. E. Hall.

A CLASSIC DEBATE

But the classic was Jim Couz- ems tie-in with Jim Watson when he thought the Hoosier Senator was trying to pull parliamentary trick on the Senate
 Cou2ens is about as vitrolic in his speech and as merciless as any Senator when he becomes angry. He fears no one, cares not where his shots fall. He learned the art of dressing people down in his celebrated controversy with "Un- cle Andy" Mellon over the matter of a fortune in tax refunds,
 Wstson and Vice President Cur itis, too, felt the lash of Couzens' tongue. It found it's mark like the crack of a whip. Ragged nerves, fatigue, exas- peration- those were the reasons for the outbursts. If those Sena- tors had been forced to stay much longer wrangling as they had been doing for months. there's no tell ing what might have happened.

Teculnseh Hero Legend
 Says Belt Stopped Shot

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS. - A century old Indian hero-legend about Tecumseh, famous Indian leader of the war of 1912, still survives among the Ottawa Indians of Michigan
