Start at one of the letters In the maze, and follow along a straight line to another letter. Continue thus, passing from letter to letter. The correct route will uncover a maxim of four words. No letter may bo passed over twice. Yesterday's answer: To find a number that may be divided Into four equal parts; the first part 500 times, the second 400 times, the third forty times as great as the smallest number, Is very easy, and a multitude of answers are possible. The simplest is 941. This number may be divided Into 500, 400, 40 and 1, which fill the requirements. In the same way 1882 n-ay be divided Into 1,000, 800, 80 and 2. All that Is necessary to solve the puzzle Is to take any number; multiply It separately by 40, 400 and 500; then add the totals, and the grand total will boa number that fills the required conditions.

Safety First If we are going to protect lives of children on the streets, we’ve got to educate them in the art of being careful. Youth is heedless, but youth can always be taught. But it’s a funny thing that people of more mature years, who know the value of care, are just as thoughtless on the streets as children are and they do such things as ijiake the angels weep. As soon as some men get at the wheel of a car they get the idea £hat the eyes of the populace are on them and they cut capers in the traffic. And some pedestrians think they bear charmed lives and deliberately step into the street where scores of mad automobiles are prancing. When every individual in this city uses the sense God gave him, we’ll stop a lot of these accidents. **■' * Pride goeth before a fall. N In an automobile Pride is a Fool.
