Easy, Educational, Fascinating

On page 15 pf this issue will be found the prospectus of the first' "Brain Waves" competition, which will appeal to everybody.' It is really a most fascinating occupation. One may play it' anywhere, ul any time. It involves no trouble, no poring, over dictionaries, and the rewards are splendid. For, many years it has been a fixed habit among- millions at Home of all classes to patronise similar competitions, which are really, besides being wonderfully amusing-, a unique education. And the element /.of chance does not exist. A happy, prize-winning ' "Brain , Wave" may come as an inspiration at home, m bed, at meals, on a tram car — anywhere. This is low you take part. Thirty short sentences are given m the prospectus. Take any one or more and frame sentences of two, three or four words having some bearing- on the example. Tho prizes go to the most original, clever and apt, and the Editor of "Truth," who has satisfied himself of the genuine nature of the competition, holds tho .£SO for you. This, then, is the way "Brain Waves" are made. Supposing the example were "What W© can't Get." An excellent "Brain Wave" would be "Air. Force Without 'Presoure'.". Observe the double meaning!, . Then "Freehold for Soldiers," taken, from the list on, pa^e 15. A bright "Brain Wave" would be, "Often a 'G-rave Undertaking." How many poor fellows never acquire more freelio.d than six feet by two m God's Acre? Yet other examples: — "Odds O:V'; "Brain Wave," " 'Truth' for a .moral." "Civil Servants": "Brain /Wave," '"Shrink before Last 'Cut." "What . Massey Wants": "Brain Wave," "A 'Bust' m 'Parliament" or " 'Sinking' Fund for Labor." "Members of Parliament": "Brain Wave," "Wise and Otherwise." "Brain Waves"' are very eaoy. The idea is to choose example-' suggesting the best chance to play on words. Then select the best and send them m. The fullest .instructions are given m the prospectus. Two 'Brain Waves" may be sent m ..ion each coupon, for one .shilling. Observe the closing date, but don't put off sending m your coupon till the last' ■'moment — think of the judges! Winners' names and the principals' "Brain Waves" will be published m all editions of "Truth" for the week ending- November 11 and prizes posted the, same day. It is intended, if sufficient support is forth-, coming, to increase the prize-money and run the competitions every week. What a chance to get together that holiday fund!
