O’Leary Wins “a Ford a Da Special Prize on Thirteenth Day Of Vainly Looking for Work “What Did You See To- Day?” Winner, When He Hears the News, Exclaims: “Can You Beat That for the Luck of the Irish!” For the thirteenth time in as many days, Charles Joseph O'Leary of No. 617 East 188th Street left his home early yesterday morning in search of mployment. At 7 o'clock last night, his outlook clouded by another dozen rebuffs, he returned to find another al- mast equally weary young man awalt- ing him at the top of the fifth flight of stairs, It was an Evening World reporter with news he had been awarded a Ford touring car gs yes- terday's special prize-for the beat story appearing in the "What Did You See To-day?" columna, O'Leary, a clean-cut young man of twenty-five, was so overcome by his 1 good fortune that he sat down abrupt- | ly on tho stairs, His first comment, almost gasped, was: “Well, can you beat that for the luck of the Irish!" The story which won yesterday's special. prize was the third one O'Leary had sent in during the two weeks he has been looking for work. The other two did not even appear.

He does not remember when anything gave him quite the same thrill and made him decide to send it in to The Evening World, O'Leary is undecided whether he wants to be a professor or a journal- ist. He was graduated from Mount St. Charles College, Helena, Mont., last June. Up until last April he was a substitute teacher at the Kohut School, Harrison, N. Y. Then for a couple of months he taught the seventh grade at Public School No, 80, East 88th Street, Manhatten, He has \ been attempting to locate with some | New York school this fall, , } Asked by the reporter why he aspired to journalism, he replied: every once in a while when I see something really beautiful I want to put it down on paper so others may hear of the worth while things in life.”” He took time enough out of his job hunt to-day to recelve the Ford, which was turnec: over to him by a reprsentative of The Evening World. ‘The presentation took place at the York Motors Corporation, No, 217 West 57th Street, R.
