Train your brain to select hard tasks for the pleasure of overcoming them and you will find the every-day problems of life are comparatively easy. For some days The Post has had before its readers a problem to test your skill- -a Circle Puzzle- -in which valuable cash prizes approximating $1,460.00 are offered to the successful contestants. The circles can be counted correctly. Are you one of those who will say, "It's too hard?" If so don't try it, as that spirit will not succeed in any undertaking.

Are you ready to say, "if others can count 'em I can?" If so you will find the task, valuable and interesting, whether you" win the big prize or not. Possibly you're one of those who say "Oh, Pshaw! there will be a whole lot of answers and my time will be wasted." If so you are reminded that if there are a number of ties, another solvable puzzle will be presented and you will have a chance to try your skill on that. You will find counting the circles an interesting diversion, the prizes well worth your best effort and you really pay nothing for participation.
