CHARACTERIZING khe "Touring Game" puzzle contest recently, conducted by The TRIBUNE as one of the most fascinating they have ever taken part in, the prize winners in the composition have given sidelights on their methods of solving puzzles, in the interviews which are. here presented. An idea of the ingenuity manifested by the contestants in working put the puzzle is given these explanations furnished by the four prize winners. Several unsuccessful attempts' at working out a method for solving the problems wpre made and rejected. One method which proved unfeasible teas an attempt to draw the lines in the puzzh so that every city on the map would be cov ered.

Henry Johnson, the first prize winner, tried this, but concluded that it was impracticable. He then endeavored to cover as many as were possible, leaving out, only cities of small population. He finally worked out his solution at one sitting, after hours of concentration. His experiences in working out the puzzle as well as the experiences of the other prize winners are i Vlv 1 Sp I I began.
