POPULAR PUZZLES.
SUCCESS OF NEW FEATURE. ANOTHER BIG ENTRY RECEIVED.
The success of any newspaper competition can be judged by one infallible test—the response of the public.

Once again the 600 mark has been topped, and answers have been received from all parts of the North'lsland. The lady was placing a sheet of typing paper in her machine. She was holdinsr the paper in her left hand and turning the roller of the typewriter with her right. The best of 23 correct answers came from MR. H. BALDWIN, 6, Te Whare Flate, Point Chevalier. Solutions, in order of popular choice, were driving a molov car, playing a violin, holding a baby, preparing to servo at tennis, and riding on the pillion seat of a motor cycle. Once again there was a large entry from children. Incidentally it may be mentioned that Miss Eileen Mayliill, winner of the last competition, is only eight years of age.
