EL Foster graphic humor that the country affords, the Editors decided to offer a prize of $100 for the best Life Line to be pub- lished during the months of October, November and December, 1921. The contest has now been concluded, and the winner’s name is announced on page 6 of this issue. Members of Lire’s staff were, of course, excluded from competition in this contest. In judging the contest, there were several things to be taken into consid- eration, Every paragraph was sub- mitted to this test: Is it humorous? Is it brief? Is it broad in its application and in its appeal ? Is it timely? Is it keen? The two Life Lines which were awarded the first and second prizes an- swered all these conditions, in the opin- ion of the Editors who judged the con- test. There were plenty more para- graphs available that were funnier, or shorter, or sharper, but none that com- bined so well all the qualities that should go to make the perfect Life Line. Aside from the two prize winners, Marquis, T. L. Masson, } Dorothy Parker, H. I. Sherwood, Edward Van Ware and John V. A. Weaver. The Life Line department will con- tinue along the present lines, and will pay five dollars apiece for each para- graph that is accepted. So, dear reader, study the winning Life Lines, and the others published on page 6, and obey that paragraphic impulse.
