mmm ppsp THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1927 TRICK GAMES FOR APRIL FOOL'S DAY Compiled by Glenn D. Adams, of the Y. M. C. A. of Chicago Broom Handle--Have two brooms, «ie of which is held by the leader in the center of the circle. Canes or sticks will do just as well. The leader steps up to one in the circle and taps the broom on the floor in front of him and says, "You can do this if you try." The other using his broom tried to duplicate the words and actions of the leader. Usually, however, he does not do so because the trick is in the fact that the leader winks his eye as he says the word. In order to win the other must do exactly the same thing. Instead of winking the eye it is possible for the leader to swallow as the trick. Kiss the Book--Blindfold the victim and lead him into the room. You ask him to kiss a book on the table. After he has done it once, you tell him to do it again real hard. But this time you put a saucer of flour before him M lU l l l l l l l which he kisses instead of the book. Trick Spelling--Those taking part in the game stand in a circle. Some one spoils a word of his own choosing and pronounces it. The person on his left must spell correctly and pronounce a word beginning with the last letter of the previous word. For example starting with the word "found" the next person in line might spell "down" and the next "night," etc. The person failing to spell a word beginning with Jacks(inville „ to have Sundav proper letter or pronouncingjncor- movles for the flrst ttme ln Itg hl8t rectly is "out" A word may be used Bn nr<nn.n«, bx 1 ILLINOIS State News i MM ItMMIIMMMMMtM Goodyear's New Balloon Tiro f £ Better Traction Longer Wear The tread of the new Goodyear All-Weather BaHoon Tire ifr semi-flat and scientifically designed to give maximum traction aijd resistance to skidding.

It is up to the company to detect mistakes or repivitions. The trick in the game is to spell words whenever possible ending in "X". Words beginning with that letter are few and not common, so that the circle gets rather thin after the "X" is used a few times as a result of an ordinance passed by the city council.
