Many Indian legends are told In these parts, snd one that Is often told of Wallowa falls sad handed down by the Indians of tba early history of that ONLY A WEEK LEFT IN WHICH TO FIND SOLUTION TO SKIDOO u Just ens week from today tha contest for the 1,000 bright new pennies, the "ft" pins and the little bunches of pen nies wll close the akidoo problem will cease pussllng. and tbe weary pussle editor will have rest. No answers re ceived after December I will be consid ered. - - This notice Is glvsn some promlnenos. am the Interest In the skldoo problem seems to be growing every day. Msny who sent answers very soon aiicr mi contest began have revised their figures and have forwarded' new solutlona There Is not the sllghteat objection to that. Ton can send In as many answers aa you desira The prises are for the best solutlona This Is necessary, as there appetra to be but one correct an swer to skldoo. The beat solution may Include brevity In the answer, clearness of axposttton, a humorous, poetic, or Just plain figure answer. There continues to bs grava doubt in some minds as to ths solvability of the problem. From McMlnnville somea the following: r "I think your akidoo pussle a falalty." Those who have solved It know that the akidoo problem can be solved. Mary Green, pos toff Ice bos 4I(, Oregon City, says: "I think your problem Is any. The boy had tl pennlea" Charles Burns, (1 North Second street, writes: "For 10 hours a day, counting (0 pennies a minute. 1 days a week, the boy worked for (I years to put the pen nies In the boxes and hla work was rain; ha always had one penny remain- Oplaions purs. R. T. Bray of Pendleton writes: "Tour pussle is a horrible bora I wouldn't advise a person to wasts a second on ft. I've worked steady three days, and find It uselesa Why don't you give us some thing Interesting? Give us quotations, snd let us find the names of ths suth. ra' ' Ths pussle editor was going to make a very saucy reply to Mr. Bray's sugges ting that the problem lacks Interest, when this letter came from Louis Wes termsn. 676 Third street, city." - -ypur'akldoo puzsle Is very Interest ing. I hit re worked it out snd find ths by had it pennies." ' And If that will not bold Mr. Bray, maybe this will stop him for a moment: "I have read and studied with Interest your skldoo pussle. and find that ths boy put 101 pennlea In each box. JESSE BAKER, 111 Vancouver ava Tbeee kindly letters lighten ths bur den of the puaale editor snd prove that the problum Is Just as easy aa What's this?

" -'.'..":" John Burton. 211 Meade street, thinks there were pennies 1n tbs box, but saya If that number Isn't right It Is the answer. ' O. Ball In. IU East Oak street, says the correct solution Is 101.448.141 pennies, c ; - "Below," writes Forrest I,' Poster, Ut Third street, "you will find ths correot aaswar: t.S4,z.U. - "The snswer to your puxxla," writes M. A. Hose y, tit Marguerite avenue, Monta villa, "la t,7t.721,001." - 1 J. a Hudson of Troutdale has given ths .problem some thought "There wore," he writes, "41 pennies, but one was an English coin, equal to I centa I know this la a catch puszle." ' The puszle editor at thla time will neither deny nor affirm the allegation regarding the English coin, snd will merely say on the subject that there Is nothing In the problem that states la what country tho boy lived. Frederick Strong, 777 Lovejoy street, says: "22,791,140 pennies, and If you have the slightest doubt sbout It work A coin collector had an accumula tion of pennlea He told hla son bs would make him a present of the entire lot If he would putvthem In boxes, the earns number In each box. - There was sn odd number of pen nlea So that If he put an equal num ber In each of two boxes there woul d bs ons penny left oren In a like man ner be figured on I, 4, t, , 1, I. t. l, u.

The aon gave, it op and told his father he thought It Impossible to perform the feat His father replied: "SKJDOO It for you.". The son then put ths sntlrs lot of pen nies In 21 boxes, the ssms number In each box. How many pennlea were .there? - . - , - To msks ths problem plain: Ths entire number of pennies wss a number, which If divided by any number from to 12 Inclusive there will be a re mainder or one (only one) and If divided by 21 there will be no remainder.

Few articles of Jewelry ' ever went so completely out. of fashion as the oameo, and no woman, whatever her eccentricity In matters of personal Jewelry, would have been sufficiently -bold a few years ago to bars risked her reputation for artlstlo taste by exploiting a cameo brooch, bracelet or balr ornament But nowadays we are nothing If not retro spective, says tha London Evening Standard, and thsss old-fashioned heir loome are mora prised today than they ever were by their original owners. - Our ancestreesea would hardly hare laid claim to discovering tha old methods ot-eamee aattlng, but they at least re vlved - the love for -an art -which haa prospered and languished In- regular cycles since the beginning of history. Egyptian designs wsra much to the for In the .days of- hoops and farthingales, but classic designs had a still greater vogue, and the semblance of "mortals and Immortals" derived from mythologi cal sources mads a picturesque subject for many an ornament treasured by ths beauties of three generations ago. Most of ths cameos which have de scended to modern times were carved ta sardonyx. or sgstsronyx. although, In 1 muaeums and meny private. collectlona beryls and amethysts as well aa many of tho other mora valuable gems are to bs seen. ' Cameos ..which, data from tha flrat am. plrs were often carved out of sheila ths great demand for precious stones neces sitating tba discovery of . soma cheaper substitute, and although more brittle and consequently much less lasting than the real gems, shell cameos were made with such skill as almost to deceive ths eye of an expert Layers of ths shell were placed one on the other until the re quired thlcknees was obtained, and not only Dianas and Cupids 'but beauties or favorltee of the day, from tha famous ladles of ths French courts to Napoleon or MacVahon. wars popular subject models. - Aa regards settings, no ana but a van dal In artlstlo tests would tamper with ths old twisted gold framework or bead lag which encircled an antique cameo brooch or the heavy links whloh bound a row of oarvsd sardonya medallions around tho wrist. - la the '40s and 'tOs, however, artistic taste wss not - In variably to be trusted, and tbere Is no disguising the fact that soms of ths gems of those .times cannot be counte nanced nowadays tn their heavy and barbarous looking settings, and many women are In consequence . having ths old heirlooms reset according to beauti ful old Greek or Italian designs.
