SUGGESTIONS FOR SOLVING CROSS-WORD PUZZLES

Start out by Bling in the words of which you feel reasonably sure. These will give you a clue to other words cressing them, and they in turn to still others. A letter belongs in each white space, words starting at the numbered aquares and running either horizontally or vertically or both.

(The solution of the above crose-word puzzle will appear in to-morrow's issue along, with a new cross-word- puzzle.)
