By Mail Clip and Mail NEAR MISS Shown here is a reproduction of the puzzle entry turned in by James L. Hodges of Cooper. Encircled is the word RUM in number 24 across which should have been LUM. This was the only miss on Hodges' entry. ONE CAME CLOSE No Winner This Week In the Puzzle Contest Entries climbed to 5,300 this week in an attempt to crack The Paris News Prize Puzzle but when the checking was all over wrong words and combinations eliminated the field.

James L. Hodges of Cooper, however, came within one word of taking home the prize money. Hodges missed only number 24 across. The correct answer was LUM. Hodges along with just about everybody else used the word RUM.

Next week's puzzle will be worth $200 for the correct answer plus more than $120 more in cash and merchandise if the winner is registered with one of the merchants whosc ad appears on the puzzle page. Explanation of more difficult ciues for this week's puzzle follows: Answer Puzzle published July 2 Explanation el more difficult clues: CLUES ACROSS 6. The clue suggests that its value to the defending side has diminished in recent times, which La true of WIRE. Nowadays however, the military machine. gets bogged down in MIRE just as much everwas amply demonstrated in the late WAT, FIRE Is not lavored.

10. SKIP 1s best. It 16, to degree, dangerous to Slip anywhere. The clue specifles "In the middle of the road" which Is Re 14. affecta necessary The people, for clue in Skip.

calls which for connection something Oration that Es more apt. It is delivered to, and often intended to affect, people. A great Ovaticn 1s usually for the benelit of some Individusl. Even if it la for the whole cast, this is specific group individuals, and not what la suggested by the loose term "people." .17. Stage is best.

"To some extent" 15 an understatement for State. All questions of tax ultimately binge around the Btate. The Stage, like all other tax-paying branches of Industry, is to some tent concerned with such problems. 18. best since it is an old Dame and popular for years.

Few girls have been called Ava sO 1t could DoL be termed The movie star is perhaps the only one known to most of us and note the clue says and not "girl's" which rules out Ava, the movie star. 20. Terse Is preferzed. Inward Tension on the part of the boss is unlikely to de any immediate concern of hers. It he is Terse there presumably when addressing her -then could, of course affect her.

22. The more money you Have, the better, of course. But there is nothing good to be said for miserly man, for example, who Saves money at the expense of his wife and children. 23. Lost is an excellent answer: but Last 1s too vague.

Last is what? Also, Lest. "inferiority" would be better than 24. True of Lum which 1s what a ney is commonly called in certain paria Scotland. would warm up anybody. 50 why specify "certain type of Scotsman." 25.

8ilm is best. Any bridge player may bank heavily on what he sees to be good chance to mako Slam, but it takes the skiliful, as well as aggressive type, to back hand that holds only a Silm chance of success. CLUES DOWN: 1. Hit is more apt. You would not Imagine a boxer entering fight without being.

Hit, even though seidom, but we have many cases of trainers realizing that they could not get their men into condition in time for the fight. This rules out FIt. since the clue says 2. Get is more positive and comprehensive. The clue does not say you are going for a walk -it merely says it's nice morning for one.

Whether you go for a walk or not, the sooner you get out for whatever you are going to do, the better. Basically, the clue simply calls for troublesome sort of order" favoring Rush. As regards the trouble involved, the Rashness or ciberwise of the order has no bearing whatever. It is what the der Is, rather than how sensible It Ls, that counts. 5.

The choice of the word "damage" lavors Spire. A Spire 1s the Spine would be described AS "Injured." Also, soy Injury to the Spine definitely 1s serious matter, 7. The ethnologist is Interested in people rather than indlviduals, thus the Romans are more apt than one Romany (or Romany as a language). 16. It Is something prolonged or repetitive that can "Irritate" such a person.

Chatter for Instance. A Clatter may be almost momentary. 19, Fall best fits this carefully worded clue. The phrase attempting to stop ROP!" implies that the goal has been scored. Therefore, Fall would not apply be- COLLEGIATE BOOTERY'S SEMI-ANNUAL Shoe Sale TOWN COUNTRY FOOT JOYCE COBBIES FLAIR $590 Values to $10.95 RED CROSS Values to $16.95 PARADISE PARAMOUNT $790 CUSTOM CRAFT Values to $18.95 DELISO MILLERKINS MADEMOISELLE DEB $990 NORTHEAST TEXAS' FINEST SELECTIONWITH MONTHS OF WEAR AHEAD!
