Puzzling Out the "Nations'

9 Young competitors found the nation competition rather hard, and no one had an all-correct solution. However, a number had only one wrong, and most tripped up only on two. The twenty-four neatest are awarded prizes, while the remainder of the "ones" and the neatest of the "twos" will receive, certificates. It must be noted that alternatives are not allowed, and spelling errors are counted as mistakes. Special mention is given to a dozen or so beautifully painted entries from one of the city schools. Many of these have received rewards. Here are the twenty-four prizewinners:— LAURENCE SANG, City, age 14. beach outfit. RONALD WISE, City, age 13, torch. RONALD SHAW, City, age 12, draughts.
