Contest Made
J Announcement of " Winners
Expected Before December
1 M any Humorous
Answers Received.
Fint '-cheek of The Bee's "Intclli.
gence Queftionnaire" has been com
plctcd after many wcrki of work by
the judges. Final checking is now
going forward at a speed which, it
is estimated' will, allow announce
ment of the winners some time be
fore December 1, "
The enormous tank has not been
without its diversions, coming in
some of the answers given. For
instance,' here is a 'youth who tells
1 us that a curriculum is "a race horse
whi'e another informs us that it is
i . "something to clean by scrapping."
I Contestant PUys Safe.
I "What ' is - the electro-nneumatic
block signal?" was one question to
which, a feminine contestant replied,
"a light pole in the air with a num
ber." Another tells us that the first
pneumatic invention which attracted
general attention was "a wind mill."
One cautious chap played safe on
the question, "Who invented the sub
marine?" Ue answered, "An invent
or," which isn't wrong, but can't be
put down as right.
Names Five Senses.
"What are the five senses?" was
a question which drew this remark
able elucidation from one contestant,
"The five senses are sense, sensible,
sensual, scnsulaism and sensuous."
is- "What causes the tide?" Answer:
"The' water when it hits the bank."
So read one questionnaire."
And thus it goes. , Out the result
will soon be ready to announce.
