A- FEW days after young Will arrived at a boys' camp, some of his prankish pals ran off with his fishing tackle and placed it at the foot of a 8ingle tall tree that stood on an island in the center ot a 1111all lake. Since Will couldn't IW1m and the . water between him and the island was too' deep to wade, he 1 sat down on a stump to figure out some other way to recovering .his tackle: Having decided the water between the mainland and Island was too wide to jump. he looked around for a rope. He found one over twice as long as the distance to the l.sland, but he discovered the tree was too high for him to throw the rope over it. Nevertheless, he got over to the island and back without any other persona helping him.

CROSSWORD GENESIS T HE world's mosf.popular form of puzzle, found now in many languages, the crossword, was invented by the late Arthur Wynne, an English Immigrant to the U.S.A., in 1913, in the New York World, for which he edited a Sunday puzzle page. The original name was word-crou; a typographical error affected the transposition. Mr. Wynne ex– plained later, when the crossword !:!ad achieved international popularity, tnat bill inspiration waa a much older form of vocabulary tester, the word– diamond.
