Lieutenant L. A. Kloor, Jr., as follows: "In regard to the controversy between the two passengers who accompanied me ou the flight of balloon A-G508, Lieutenants Stephen A. Farrell and Walter A. Hinton, I wish to f-nke it definitely clear that this controversy was entirely and In every respect the outcome of overwrought minds brought on by the hnrdships and gruelling struggles that had to be endured on the trip over the trail from Matticc. "On several occasions during the trip, after a long and tiresome walk, at times one or two of us would become grouchy and at the slightest irritation would make a fuss. These quarrels were only on tne spur ot tne momeni and lem- norary disagreements. Almost as quickly as they would start they would end, and all hands were ns usual the best and strongest of friends. "I also wish to state that at com mander of the balloon which I flew to Moose Factory, I had perfect liberty to select any of the officers at the sta tion I wished to accompany me on the lion i wihucii to uci-uiuimuy me on me trio and nuiuonzaiion woum ce maao by my commanding officer.

Such petty quarrels as have occurred will not les sen our nfTeetinn for one another. "We have threshed out the whole matter among us." said Lieutenant Farrell, "and have decided that it is to be a closed book So far as I nin con cerned I am sorry for what took place yesierua. i temporarily lost control of myself, simplj because I wa tired out through loss of sleep, nnd with my impulsive nature I started in to settle a grievance after the fnshion of the old navy das. Hut it is all over now, I have no hard feelings, and I believe what is said by my old pal," Farrcll brought his hand down upon Hinton's shoulder, and Hinton whose jaw still showed the effect of Furrell's punch, seemed plainly pleased. Not Intended for Publication "I want to say," broke in Lieuten ant Hinton, "that that letter which I wrote m wife uus never intended for publication, in fact I wrote upon it that it was not to be published, just as all of in had nrreed. I am sorrv that It was published, but us Steve has said, we have gone over all of that among oursehes nnd want tho matter dropped." i The men chatted freely about their experience ut Moose Factory Had Heal Christmas "The Hudson Hay Co. people treated tas like gentlemen," Lieutenant 1'nrrcll vald.

It was given to me by iny mother mid I ulm to keep it." "No arguments from you," the high wayman commanded, makiilg a grab for O'Donnell's watch. O'Donnell struck his ussailant on the jaw.

J. Hcppe & Son, 1117 Chestnut street. A photograph of llicm will bo found on tlio back page. Tomorrow wo will nnnounro the award made by the Jury picked from the audience of the Orpheum Theatre, Ccr manfown, on Wednesday night. That young lady In Wayne who couldn't keep nway from the movies certainly did stir you fans up. And, In turn, you euro tied the Lim'rick Editor in knots. We never had such a tangle to un tangle. Ninety-nine out of every hun dred fans sent In last lines composed nlmost entirely of puns on the names of well-known movie nctorincs nnd such a job ns wo had to decide among 'cm ! iTotmrjiy tne story ot our struggles nnd the bnls on which wo came to our conclusions will give the fans a lot of information that will help them in fu ture contests. So here goes: First, of course, we eliminated those which had incorrect rhyme nnd rhythm. Many fans tried to make "Wayne" nnd "refrain" rhyme with "game." ' "dame," "blame and other words with "m" in them instead of "n." Obviously that 1 wrong. Then others nnd it is well to bring out this point made their last line rhyme with the third nnd fourth lines of tho verse. This is always wrong. The last line must rhyme with tbe first and second. More than half of the answers were thrown out immediately because they contained too many syllables. The last line must have the same number of "feet" as the first and second. The tendency of most contestants seems to be to ninkc the line too long to crowd too many syllables Into it. Others make It too short. See that your last line hns the same swing, or rhythm, as the first and sec After this, there la nnother test to apply to a limerick. Does it read with a good, free swing? To make this test, read your line alond. If you find it hard to pro nounce if your puns give you a lot pf tongue twisters that make you halt in reading it it is probnbly not a good limerick line. Must Carry Out Idea A very important consideration is, "Does tho last line carry out the Idea of the first four?" It wns on this consideration that tho Hcppc judges, on the third ballot, made today 8 award. The winner wns: MISS DOKOTHV G. GERSON, 34111 Kaco street, Teacher; Sartaln School Miss Gerson'fl Hue contained two very clever puns, but so did several other lines. The final test was as to how well the lines carry out the Idea laid down in the first four lines and on this Miss Gerson won. Her com pleted limerick wns: Limerick No. 23 There is a young lady in Wayne, Who from movies can never retrain; Shr goes night and day. And the doctors all say "Her trouble is heart and ptomaine" (Hart and Tom flleiglian). Now, In order to make these distinc tions perfectly clear, we'll print the other lines submitted to the jury, num ber them nnd tell you just how the voting went. Miss Gerson s line, ou tho ballot, was No. 0. The others WNo. 1 That her heart Mran and Moore shows tlio stra In U llliam b. U.. llnnm M4. 14'J1 Ardl Street. No. ''2 It's a teel cinema (real sin her ma) don't complain Arthur Hop. kins. 3027 North Uonsall str'et. No. 3 From readin' (Rdd in) the films, she's Ince-ane Mrs. II. ii.

Doug's Mary'ed again' Emma Glcrth, 25 Warner avenue, lirn Mawr. These eleven lines wero picked out by us ns being the most rcpresentatUe nmong all those sent in. In making our choice, we try to get each thought or idea at least one chance on the bullot. For instance, several contestants used tho genernl idea of No. 2 tho word cinema" used ns a pun on '.sin her ma " We went over all of these care fully until wc had eliminated all but this one nnd It's a cinema, (sin her ma) can't mako her stay in Winifred M. Lang don. 2017 Poplar street. Finally, between these two, we gave the preference to No. 2 bemuse it con tained the added pun "reel." Inci dentally, wc hated to exclude Miss Langdon, because wc remembered her nn one of the lurv of girls at the S. S. White Dental Manufacturing Co. who decided one oi our iimericKs tor us, and anybody who wants to know what we think of these girls has onl to look linnk In the files of this nnner or watch us walk slowly past there in the evening hoping to see one of 'em come, out. It is In tills same way thnt wo try to find ono representative of each sep arate thought, so if jou fans see, among the ten or more submitted to the jury, a line almost exactlj like one you sent In, don't think you nre being overlooked because yours is not there. This ex plains it. The same thing happened with No. 1. A number of fans used this genernl Idea. Finally, we narrowed It down to this one nnd May her Sweet Lyltcl Hart llara strain (also sent in by M. Swain). These two lines wiro analyzed. The doctors would not be likely to wish any harm to her little heart, whereas (if they knew her fairly well) they might for limerick purposes use the form set out in No, !, That line was, accord- One Hundred Dollars Daily For the Best Last Line Supplied by Any Reader of the Evening Public Ledger to the Incomplete Limerick Which Appears Below RULES OF THE LIMERICK CONTEST 1.

This wns not a decisive ballot, so we held n discussion ns to how limericks should be judged, particularly on the basis that the last line should carry out the thought of the first four.
