Two heads are better than one In The Bee's great Booklovers' Contestjust as well as any other plaoe. Two heads should contain more book titles than one; two heads should show more insight and shrewdness than one.
Four heads ought to contain Just four times as many book titles, four times as much insight and shrewdness as one. And the more heads you get to working on your pictures in the Booklovers' Contest, the more chanoe you
will have of winning that superb automabile, a lot, a player piano or a Grafanola. Now, here is a series of friendly suggestions given contestants by The Bee, By following these suggestions YOU CAN GET AS MANY
HEADS AS YOU WANT working for YOU on YOUR pictures. Perhaps you have found a picture or two that are troubling you, but do not know just how to obtain suggestions. Here are some simple plans for obtaining

Suggestions Obtained by
Correspondence
"Why not send the pictures that are troubling you to some friends,
no matter whether they live in Nebraska or any other place. Inclose
the pictures in an envelope, with a letter stating that you are in The
Bee's Booklovers' Contest and doing well, but that you would appreci
ate some assistance in certain pictures that have proved rather hard to
solve. i
Send a letter something like thisi
Dear Bill: I would like you to help me solve a picture or two in
The Bee's Booklovers' Contest, in which I hope to win an auto, a player
piano, a lot or some other prize. The idea is to determine what book
titles are represented by a series of 75 pictures. Cast your eye over
that picture in which a woman's hat is shown on a stick. "What book
do you think that picture represents t And use your well known judg
ment in solving the other pictures I am inclosing. Also send back the
pictures, with your answers, as soon as possible. If I win one of the
autos I may give you a ride some day. So do your best to solve the pic
tures, Sincerely and hopefully yours, GRACE.
YOU CAN GET THE BEST JUDGMENT OF MANY FRIENDS
ON MANY PICTURES BY FOLLOWING THIS SIMPLE CORRES
PONDENCE PLAN. They will welcome the diversion and be glad to
work over the pictures you send them.
Suggestions Given at Book
lovers' Parties
You have no idea how many titles a group of people can work out
when they all get to work on the same pictures. A contestant can not
do better than to bring his friends together in a Booklovers! party and
have them unite their minds on solving his pictures. A Booklovers'
party is a great benefit to a contestant and, in addition, it is lots of fun
for the guests.
Call together some of your friends tonight. You may or may not
have some refreshments on hand, and you may or may not give prizes.
It increases the fun to have some inexpensive prizes a first prize, per
haps, and a booby prize.
Before your guests arrive have the numbers of the pictures that
are troubling you marked down on slips of paper. Give each guest one
of the slips, and then pass around the various pictures. Let each guest
mark down opposite each number the title he believes that picture rep
resents. "When all the guests have filled in their slips each can sign his
name at the bottom of his slip, and all the slips will be given to two or
three "judges" selected from among the guests. The "judges" will
decide which guest has submitted titles that best fit the pictures, and
then the prizes will be awarded.
IT IS PROBABLE THAT SOME OF YOUR GUESTS WILL
SUGGEST TITLES THAT EXACTLY FIT THE PICTURES. MAKE
USE OF THEM!
A Booklovers party glres you the benefit of the brains of your guests. And
tt la a new game lota of tun.
Get out your Booklovers catalogue, It you hare one, and see If the titles eug
gested by your guests are In It Better get a catalogue. If you haven't one now.
They are 25 cents each, 85 cents by mail. .The 75 correct titles In this contest are
taken from the Booklovers' catalogue.
s
Suggestions Given by Store
and Libraries
Often a contestant gets on one line of thought in attempting to solve
a picture, while a suggestion from a friend might make the contestant
regard the picture from an entirely different point of view.
Why do you not take the pictures that are troubling you around to
the book stores, to the book department of one of the big department
stores or to a publio library!
You will find that the attendants at all those places will be glad to
help you. They will take just as much interest in the pictures as you
do and be pleased to give you every aid in their power.
Call them by telephone if you can not go in person. But it is best
to take the pictures with you when you come down town and go over
them with the attendants in the stores or libraries.
Do not be afraid that you will have too many titles suggested to
you! Remember that the rules of the contest permit you as many as
five answers to each picture. Each answer must be upon a separate
coupon, but you can obtain all coupons for one .cent each at Bee Busi
ness office.
The book stores that advertise in The Bee have especially request
ed that contestants visit their establishments and gather information
about the puzzles. Some of the attendants in all these stores are taking
a great interest in the game and will be able to give valuable sugges
tions. They have been trying to solve the puzzles each day.
You can join now and get 40 back pictures and title catalogue, total value 65 cents, for 50 cts; 55 cents by mail
