Colleolan Exnlains f °West Clues To clear up the doubts as to the connection between the clues and the "thing" in the third "It's in the Ads" contest, the Daily Col legian presents the more "doubt ful" of the leads to the hand knit. multi-colored, wool argyle socks. The "don't let a clue fool you" referred to the clue, "polka." "The hand that roc k e d the cradle" referred to hand knit socks and the "mineral" referred to nylon in wool used as a re inforcing agent. The clue was "and dark" not all dark, and the "analytical bal ance" referred to the method of selling wool in weights, some times in grams. "Two and four" referred to the number two and four needles used in knitting the socks, and the "peak of perfection" referred to the peak of the diamond in the pattern. The nylon used in the wool was also used in parachutes in "World War II." and "years and years ago" the custom of knitting socks was started. As for the "Indian system was put to use in 1901," our printer forgot to delete that line from a standing ad and if you refer to the second ad contest, you will find that particular clue was the clincher for the winning guess "Alpha Fire Company."
