The authors of these twelve stories will be asked to become judges of the whole contest, which will then include all the stories published. These twelve authors will decide which are the best three stories, in the order of their merit, to be awarded the prizes. In case, for any reason, any one or more of these twelve authors should be unable to act as judge, then the contest will be decided by the rest. Each of the judges will, 0. course, if he so wishes, vote for his own story first, so that the final result may probably be determined by the combined second, third and fourth choices of all the judges. This will not affect the results. In case of a division among the judges the Edi- tors of Lire will cast the deciding vote. The final award will be announced as early as possible after the last story has been published in Lire. Of this there will be due notice, Manuscripts will be accepted as fast as they can be read and passed upon, In every case they should be addressed, “To the Editor of Lire’s Short Story Contest, 17 West 31st Street, New York City,” and the author's name and ad- dress should be plainly written upon the manuscript, which should be accom- panied by return postage in case of rejection, The editors will exercise due care in returning unavailable contribu- tions, but will not hold themselves respon- sible for loss. Contestants are advised to keep duplicate copies. All manuscripts must be at Lire office by noon of Mon- day, October 4, 1915. No manuscript received after that date will be consid- ered. Each contestant may send in as many manuscripts as he desires. If any of the rules of this contest are violated the Editors of Lire reserve the right to debar the contributions.

A young man was sent to Blackwell's Island for three months for annoying women in the monkey house. His friends say he was not guilty, and that he accepted the sentence because he was scared and feared to be dis- graced forever if he made a fuss. It is an old story that the monkey house is infested with blackmailers and detectives who arrest innocent persons who dare not make a fight. The place ought to be cleaned up. If the monkeys have such a bad effect on deportment send them to the Bronx, where the primates live without scandal, Whether the trouble in the Central Park house is with the monkeys and their visitors or with the detec- tives and blackmailers, it constitutes a nuisance that ought to be abated. Close the house; that is the thing to do. It is too malodorous. comicbooks.com
