SUGGESTIONS FOR SOLVING CROSS-WORD PUZZLES
Start out by filling in the words of which you feel reasonably sure. These will give you a clue to other words crossing them, and they in turn to still others. A letter belongs in each white space, words starting at the ambered squares and running either horizontally or vertically or both.
(The solution of the above cross-word puzzle will appear in Monday's issued along with a new cross-word puesto.)

As becomes a judge, Sir Edward Parry is not prejudiced against the rogues and weaklings he portrays. He does his utmost to give each one a fair deal. He gives them more credit than the ordinary layman feels inclined to grant them with the result that his final indictment is all the more crushing."
The Popish Plot
The first chapter deals with Lucy Walter, mother of the ill starred Monmouth, and with the question of Monmouth's legitimacy. Chap- ters two and three give the early careers of Oates and Jeffreys. Then comes the Popish Plot which | raised religious intolerance to fever heat and made possible the horrors of Jeffreys' circuit in the West. After that the book is an appalling kaleidoscope of injustice, hlasphemy, sycophancy, peculation, torture, bullying, beheading, and transportation. As bad as any of his satellites was the sinister James U, the hard, hearted tool of the Jesuits. On page 193 of this book we read:
"James II. and his Chief Justice (Jeffreys) were both men of ma- turally cruel natures, and, like all zulers of narrow outlook, limited intelligence, and overweening cou- ceit, firmly believed in massacre and terror as instruments of goo- The western. circuit
