Answer to the first problem in Column 4.is:--
6th Surrey: 7th Somerset; 8th Kent; 9th Essex; 10th Hants.
You see, both George and the fourth friend said that Essex was 9th. H this is not true then Surrey would be 7th and Kent Oth.
But if Keat were Oh, Somer- 801 must be 7th (first friend's statement) as well as Surrey, which would be impossible. Therefore Essex is 9th and so

Answer to the second problem

It turned out afickwards that George and friends were each half right and halt wrong. What was the real order?
Just as George had finished working it out, old Farmer Cohen came into the bar, epot- led George, and said:-
"I sold ten sheep at a certain price, and five others at 10s. less per head. The total amount I got for each lot could be written In pounds by the same two diglis... How much did I get for each sheep?"

THE RIVAL FORCES IN SPAIN
ALL MIDDLE CLASSES BEHIND ARMY'
SYNDICALISTS IN BOTH CAMPS
From a Special Correspondent
Briefly the supporters of the two rival forces in Spain are as follows: For the Popular Front Government Socialists and Communists together represent the bulk of the dupport and comprise the irregular levies armed by the Government. From the out- set all over Spain and by order of the Civil Governors these irregular forces were given in the Town Halls lists of those private individuals who had licences to own Arearms: such fire- arms were immediately seized by house-to-house visits of the irregular militia,
The levies are strengthened by the Assault Guards and the Carabineros (coastguards and Customs police). The levies are mainly from the ranks of the Union General de Trabajadores (UGT.), the Socialist trade union, and the Anarchists (F.A.L.), as well as from, the Communist unions that seem to have the upper hand amongst the militiamen. it is the Arst time Ants are fascinating creatures to in Spanish history that a Government watch.

Anybody who has a double-colony ant-palace will find the two groups never mix.
It is still doubtful on which side are to be found the Syndicalists (CNT), who boast a roll of over one million active members, as it seems that in some districts they sup- port the Government whereas in other districts they are to be found In the military camp.
