1 around the Green between e:3o and 2 this evening. If you spot your man, simply tap him on the shoulder as gently as possible, point to his picture in the Peach Edition of today's Democrat, which you must carry with you, and say: You are The Democrats MT. Ace"
 If your Identification b correct, and you have a copy of The Demo- crat Peach Edition, MT. Ace will hand you $12.50.
 If you have made c mistake, neither The Democrat nor Mir. Ace will be responsible.
 Reward May Double But If no one identifies our MT Ace this evening, the reward fof identificatin will double. A smart sleuth who picks his man Saturday will get s25.
 For his Saturday promenade, MT Ace has chosen Bank Street, be- tween Exchange Place and Grand Street, and will appear there be- tween 3:30 and {, walking the streets with all the aplonb of George Raft and ready to pay out $2S for being identified correctly.
 I'd claim the s25, the successful amateur detective must carry the Saturday City Edition of The Def1- ocrat when he identifies his man. Should no one spot our Mir. Ace Saturday, the jackpot will go tip to | $37S0 Monday, when Mir. Ace will appear on East Main Street, be- tween Exchange Place and the Elm Street intersection, between 5 and 5:30 P. M.
 And if Identification is still irn- possible, MT. Ace will bet his entire $50 on Tuesday against the chance of being identified when he walks Sonuth Main Street, from Exchange Place to Union Street, between 1 and 4:30 P. M.
 | Unlike Movie Version l Should MT. Ace be Identified on any Of the first three days, a new MT. Ace will be sent out for subse- quent trials, identifiable from a de- scription to be published in The Democrat. He will put up $12.6(
 against the chance of being spot
 ted, which amount will be increased each day he goes undetected.
 The Democrats MT. Ace bears nc resemblance to MT. Raft, either ir
 appearance or temperament, as MT
 Raft appears in the movie. The Mr. Ace of the pictures is a political boss who falls in love with con gresswoman who wants to be gov ernor. MT. Ace in the picture is moi the kind of guy to give anyone a break, much less $50.
 No employe of The Democrat o1 of Loew's Poli Theater, nor any members of their families, is eligible for any of the prizes.
