A Some it fiom cause to in picture No. @-was called Carroll, ” dently .I"orm,,!ho musical, term caroi, be- cause thie Scotchman was singing; Scett, perhaps,; because that .famous author ‘wrote of Scottish life, which Is, after all, a very far-fetched gwess, paiueys, which suggests absolutely no form of rdeonlnx whatever; .« Wilson, which is a “Guess” quite as bad, and lhmdore which, is even worse. - " Now, can any of you children who “guessed” these names -and there are very many of you—tell how you can pos sibly get suchi“a great variety of names from such a simple picture. Carroll was very good, because . is showed some rea- soning ability, but Solomor is so simple that it is hard to understand why you did not all think of it at once. And now as to that pictdre No. 10. It is truly surprising how many of you were altogether and hopelessiy wrong on that one. = The " picture represented a man, who could not possibly be mistaken for any- thing but what he is—a farmer—holding a child in‘his arms. It is equally plain from the vigor and lustiness shown in the ac- tions of ‘the child’ that it is a boy. Even if vou could not be sure that the man in the picture was a farmer, judging solely by his dress and general appearance, the little farmhouse in the background would leave no further doubt about Tt. Begin. ning with this knowledge then the rest is easy—or surely ought to be if you had reasoned as well about picture No. 10 as you did about all the others. _ Now, when You speak jokingly about a Prize Wwinners ir Qontest of February 15 ELOW is given the list of prize winners 1n the puzzle contest of February 15.

THOSE WHO DESERVE HONORABLE MENTION ELOW is give~ a list of those who, though they di¢ nut win a prize yet showed such skill and ctever- ness that they deserve to be men- tioned in an honorary way: Haraden Pratt 1510 Lombard street San Francisco; Pavl Robinson, 1015 West Thirty-first street, Los Angeles; as oulthard Clovie Cal,, Maud McMahon, 1611 - Aicatraz avenue, Berkeley; A.

Wast Rerkeley; John B. Mallon, 1007 Grand street, Alameda. [ B fof Eeliieimimiiieier i @ farmer, what do you call him? A “ja; to be sure. Well, the farmer in pictur No. 19 was a “jay,” or he would not have been sitting in a barien field with a crying son, child. And whose child was it? The “jay’s” son, of course. Then what is the na.ne represented in the picture? “Jay’- Son, or, when spelled properly, JASON, of conrse. Now, could anything be simpler ,r-more consistent than that? How, then, did you all manage to get so many differ- «nt names for that sne picture Here are some of them. Read them over and see if you can fit them to the picture. One or two of them are fairly reasonable, but as for the Test, they are, as v al, mere ‘“‘guesses. Robinson—This competitor evidently de- cided that the man in the picture was try- ing to rob his own child, hence his solu- tion Robbin(g) Son Benjamin—Se called, perhaps, because the "jay” ie all huddied up in his uncom fortable sitting posture, the word “man’ misspelled to finish the last of the e I hat is taking quite too much “lit erary license.’ Herman—Taken from the suggestion . e child was a girl, and the that perhaps the ¢ man her father, thus making the mame Her-Man—HERMA Smithson—W hic was not such a’ bad <olution, .for the man might be a black- Smith and the house in the background his smithy. Manuel—Possibly this competitor though too, that the man was accustomed to ver hafd work, judging from the size and coarseness of his hands, hence his method of gaining his livelihood by ‘“‘manual la * was logically abbreviated to Manue = that that was the man’s name cause he was a farmer. On this assump- tion the child in the picture was absolute- ly unnecessary But how can these guesses be explained away: Arthur, Kobert, Christopher. Sid ney, Pasqual, fayette, and a host of others of the same remarkable sort These, however, are all very amusing blunders. Den’'t yo ' think se, or did you make some of theyw yoursglf, in which event you may not be disposed to see the funny side ‘of it. Enough has beei. said now to show you the method of procedure in solving these puzzles, and as the very bardest have been made clear to you in the prominent STATESMEN'S set this week. there should be no mistake whatever. However, we shail see what we shall see. If you wan to win a very valuable prize, now i your chance.
