TINK’S CROSSWORD' PUZZLE
I wonder how many of you were clever enough to rind the name of the bird in last week’s puzzle? If you filled in all the correct words and then read the letters diagonally from top left to bottom right, you made the word “Toucan,” and this is the name of the bird we drew for you. Lull solution:— Across: 1. Sumptous meal (Feast). 5. Preposition (At). 7. Place of business (Shop). 9. Slightly cold (Cool). 11. Before (Ere). 12. Below (Under). 14. Pertaining to the eye (Optic). 17. Beam of light (Ray). 18. Used for rowing (Oars). 20. Sad (Dire). 21. Compass point (N.E.) 22. Nagative (No). 23. Near (By). Down: 2. Because (As). 3. Hut (Shed). 4. Pulled apart (Tore). 5. Grant (Accord'. 6. Preposition (To). 8. Read (Peruse). 10. Him (French) (Lui). 13. Army rank (abbreviated) (N.C.0.) 15. Suffering (Pain). 16. A beginner (tyro). 19 Royal Navy (abbreviated) (R.N.). Now we’ll have a little change, shall we? I want to test your skill in mental arithmetic! What is a third and half a third of a hundred? If you can t work it out in your heads, you’ll find the number hidden in the puzzle.
