Now just dissect the subject and see what are its component parts. A man doll In the water. There you have the solution in the first three words—MAN—DOLL—IN.

W ready spelled ot quite correetly Picture No. 8 should not have caused you any greater trouble, for it practically told you what the solution was without the necessity of studying it very closely.

Do you now everything. have to be told the answer—GUITAR. ad everything on this page very 1f you have ever read anything of his- ly and then get to work. Those tory you surely could not have made so prizes are all worlh having. — Soe?” AN et ow, CBIIJS’B‘@, YOUNG AND OLD—ATTENTION, EVERYBODY! At last you are to be given H the opportu ity of your life. There isn’t one among you, boy or girl—or man or woman, for that matter—who ‘does not know something about games. Well, listen carefully now: This is the SIXTH SET, in ¥the THIRD SERIES of the SUNDAY C.LL’S great puzzle contests, and each of these ten pictures represents the name of a popular sport of to-day. Isn’t that splendid? Just what you ! have been waitipg for, of course. ¥ Howevek, let -1 give you a little assistance. Look at picture No. 6. What do you make of it? Lit- tle bit hard, is itP Oh, not so very difficult if you will think a while. What country do the people come from who talk like the man in the picture? Is it Germany, or Austria, or Sweden, or Russia? No, for none of those names even remotely suggest a game of any sort, do they? Perhaps it is Poland. Well, what do they call a native of Poland—a Pole, don’t they? Ah, that's a good starter, isn’t it? Well, what is this Pole talking about—a grave, a sepulcher, or is it a vault? Ah, there you have the name of the sport—POLE-VAULT. Basy after all, wasn’t it? The next picture—No. 7—shouldn’t bother you at all, for the most prominent thing in it is the man’s mustache, which, as you see, is very curling. Well, there’s your answer—CURLING. Perhaps that is a sport you who may have lived all your life in sunny California know very little about, but if you will read up about the sports of snow and ice countries you will find CURLING a very interesting game. Now, just one more: Let us take the last picture—No. 10. It is so easy that it almost seems needless to tell you what it is. There is a Chinaman. What is he doing? Taking a REST, eh? And what is his name on the sign there? LING. Just add the two words together and you have REST- LING. Spelled properly WRESTLING. With these thre: examples, see if you can guess the rest.
