Another Minute Mystery:
How good a detective are
you?
EXAMINATION disclosed two sets of finger-prints on the knife which Fordney picked up from the kitchen floor. Three of Ada Kesler's finger-prints were sharply outlined by the flour which had been on her hands. Mrs. Matthews' prints, though fainter, were easily distinguished.
"Do you recognise this knife, Mrs. Matthews?" he asked.
"Certainly, Mrs. Kesler has had it for years." Inspector Adams, glancing at the kitchen doorknob, inquired, "The door was unlocked when you called?".
"Yes, it was open. I just walked in and asked Mrs. Kesler if I could borrow some coffee. She was kneading brend and told me rather curtly, I thought, to help myself. While I was filling the cup I had brought, she suddenly turned and accused me of being too friendly with her hus- band. I was dumbfounded; we've been friends and next- door neighbours for years.
"Then without warning she grabbed that knife from the shelf and we had a terrific struggle över it. Just as I was about to wrest it from her, she fell to the floor clutch- ing it.
"I quickly turned her over and saw that she had fallen on the knife. Blood was gushing from her heart."
Adams, catching Fordney's eye, said, "Mrs. Matthews, we're holding you on suspicion of deliberate murder!"
WHAT WAS THEIR REASON?

Do You Picnique?
The China War Correspondent took a few moments off yesterday. He asked some of his friends to spell a few words.
Innocently he asked, is it innoculate or inoculate; Dessicate or desiccate;
Embarass, embarras, or embarrass;
Harefy or rarify;.
Picnicking or picknicking, or picnicing;
Vilify or vilefy?
