CHRISTMAS FUN
AT a Yuletide party for her
boy and girl, Mrs. White
divided the ten children present
into five teams of two each, and
set them hunting for a hidden
“Santa’s pack.” The rules were
that the first child to solve the
clues got one point, the second 2,
and so on, and the score of each
team was found by adding to
gether the points obtained by
each member. The team with the
lowest score got first pick from
the pack, the team with second
lowest score got second pick,
and so on.
The Sherlocks won with a
total of G, the Nick Carters with
8, the G-Men with 10, and the
Scotland Yards with 15. That
being so, in what order did the
members of the fifth team, the
Flip Kirbys finish?

THIS is a missing number di
vision problem, which is not
as difficult as it looks.

There have been problems in
which only a single figure in the
quotient was given, and from
which the entire problem was
reconstructed. In this case, a
number of additional indica
tions are given, such as X and Y,
which letters stand for figures.
In the quotient there is indi
cated only one digit, namely 7.
From these clues it ought to
be easy to reconstruct the en
tire problem.
Note that the divisor, when
multiplied by 7 equals only.three
figures, therefore, the first digit
in the divisor can only be 1. If
it were 2, seven times 2 would
give an additional figure in the
third line. Knowing that the
first figure in the divisor is 1
and that the second line shows
three ones in succession, it is
simple to find the first digit in
the quotient, and so on.

COLORFUL Christmas
scene may be made to ap

by using crayons or colored
pencils and filling in each area
in accordance with its key.
B means blue; BK, black; Y,
yellow; 0, orange; R, red; V,
violet; G, green; P, pink. (Use
red lightly to make pink).
MISSING LETTERS
F four different letters, the
same in each case, were to be
placed among the following
groups of letters, four well

The four letters by themselves
spell a wrord that is very sea

IN THE CALENDAR
In each normal year, January
comes one day later than in the
former year. For example, Jan
uary 1,1947 fell on Wednesday,
and January 1, 1948 is a Thurs
day. But when there is a Leap
Year, as in 1948, the difference
between the New Year’s Days is,
of course, two days, so that Jan
uary 1,1949, will be a Saturday.
Bearing in mind that century
years are Leap Years only if the
first two figures are divisible by
four (which is to say, 2000 will
be a leap year but 2100 will not),
how long before the first day of
a century is a Sunday?

JUNIOR members of the
family will enjoy helping
provide colorful decorations for
the Christmas tree or dinner
table. Popcorn can be strung
upon threads, to be draped
upon the boughs of the tree.
Also, using the pattern above,
the same or larger size trees can
be cut from red, gilt or other
brightly colored paper of solid
hue. (Or they can be cut from
white paper and colored with
crayons or water-colors.) To
stiffen the paper, before cutting
it, paste cardboard between two
sheets.
