That second set of Name Puzzles was the most | Wn merry time you did have with the Poets to be sure. There were ‘“guesses” and “guesses,” and a great many were right, as you will see from the list of prize-winners, | nearly right, as you may learn by reading the “honorable mention” column, but, ol lot who simply ‘“‘guessed” haphazard, without seriously attempting a solution. | It was amazing how you all stumbled over picture No. 9, in the Poet Set. It was the picture of a Mexican in fancy costume, big scmbrero and all, a typical Mexican from the sunny South. be easier than that. South—South-y—SOUTHEY. And yet most of you—and there were hundreds mors exciting of all. What | and a grnt many were very h, there were such a ‘What could NN Ll N = \ T B/ © ARA & EACH OF THESE TEN NEW PICTURES of you entered this competition than ever before—‘‘guessed” every name but that. Perhaps, however, you do not know the poets as welll as you know some other things—Countries for instance, which are represented in the pictures on this page this week. Let us try and see. This is the FOURTH SET in the THIRD SERIES of the SUNDAY CALL’'S great puzzle com- tests and each of these ten pictures represents the name of a COUNTRY. Now what country? That is the question for you to answer, if you want a prize. Let us help you just a little, just to show you how the trick is done. We’'ll begin at the end first. Look at picture No. 10. What do you see? Two boys having a very violent quarrel. That is nothing new, is it? But what are they saying? One says “You're a”’— and the other cuts him short with “G'way.” Ah, do you see the solution now? Well, what is it? “Youre-a-G’way.” Spell it properly and you have URUGUAY. Does that sound very hard, even after it has been explained? Well, we will try something much easier. Look at picture No. 7. There is genuine humor in that, though it represents one of the most serious and romantic countries in the world. The pole is falling. You can see that at a glance, and it has “landed” to use a slang phrase. Well, there you have it in a second. POLE-LAND — POLAND. Too easy, isn't it? Now, just one more and we will leave the rest to you. Try picture Nec. 8. Where is that dog? r In his den, if one may judge by the bones he has brought with him. And what is that on the rock? His mark. Do we need to tell you any more? Of course not. It is DENMARK, to be sure. With these three names as examples, see if you can guess the rest. REMEMBER—You may send in as many answers in your name as you wish, provided only that you have a coupon to accompany each answer, and—REMEMBER—there is no age limit and young and old may compete.
