THE COMPETITION
Hero is a statement of tiio reason why animals have so many different markings, together with an explanation of the use of camouflage in war. In this statement Christian names of boys and girls have been buried. Can you find thern? How many are there? The one who discovers the greatest number and sends them neatly written to Big Brother Bill will receive the prize. Sometimes an animal in danger nestles—lies among the bushes—the reason being to make itself harmonise with its surroundings. Some woman or man therefore proposed that warships bo painted half red and blue, in big patches, nearly diagonal. Of course, the large markings were not graceful, but the colours mingled with the sunrays and the blue of the ocean, so the camouflaged vessels were successful.
