Of Course You Know,
But Are You Sure?
By "The Dragoman” HERE'S your weekly quiz-needing
no introduction except to remind you that you take two points for every question answered correctly. A Thirty Total is just So-So, Forty is good, and anything above Extra.
Run on the Honour System, the rules for- bid consulting authorities until after you've mustn't answered the question-and you look at the answers until you've tried all the questions.

EPISODE 66 FROM
INSPECTOR PLAŸFAIR'S NOTEBOOK
OSHUA PLAYFAIR was brooding over the Ashcan Corner murder case.
"Criminala are a queer, race, Dumbell," he was saying, "I suppose psychologists can explain their behaviour; you must tell me when you've worked through Critchley's textbook." At this allusion to Dumbell's studies he was not getting on very fast-the sergeant, as usual, assumed a disarming air of pro- fundity. "Ar!" he sighed. "It's a mystery, the criminal mind, sir. We've hardly explored the fringes of it."
"Quite so; quite Ro," said Playfair hastily. "Keep that for your next essay, Dumbell. I was thinking about this fellow Fentlittle. Why, having got away with a perfectly good murder, does he give himself away by talking to tram-conductors? Conscience? For stupid he must Nerves? Vanity? Or just downright stupidity?

to have been
Dumbell was exelted. "He's confessed, sir, has he?"
"No," said Playfair. "Not yet. He'll end by confessing; his type always doen. At the moment, he thinks he can get off.. I know he can't, though. I'll tell you all about it, Dumbell; and then-I hope-you'll see why."
Dumbeli handed his elgaretle-cnse. "I'm all ears, sir.'

"You've read what was in the papers," said Playfair. "The murder at Ashean Corner took place three days ago; it was a brutal aftale, and we don't yet know the motive. Self-preservation, I daresay; the victim was

"But what does he do, Dumbell? He boards a tramcar at the nearest stop, about a quarter of a mile from Ashcan Corner.
I should (This explain, is a reconstruction of his movements; no one saw him board the tram. We've had an identity parade, and the conductor who put us on to Fentlittle wasn't able to pick him out.) However, he gets on this tram, and travels as far as the Elephant. He's reading a paper in the car, und, as he gets off, he hands it to the conductor. I've gat the paper here."
Story In The "Star" He produced a copy of the "Star," which Dumbell examined with
interest,

"Lisien. "I don't understand of this. If the conductor couldn't see the face of the man who handed him the paper, how could he, as you say he did, put you on to Fentlitte?"
Playfair toughed. Well donc, Dumbell; you've holed that first one in one. The conductor didn't see his face, but he saw his coat, which has a fairly distinctive pattern. When, next day, he read about the murder, he naturally recalled his passenger's strange conversation. He at once got into touch with us; and his description of the coat suggested something to one of our people."

"On the contrary, he's put up a fairly good one. We shan't be ablo to break it-unless we can prove he was on the tram. He points out, perfectly correctly, that there may well be other coats like his."

"Then how on earth-" exclaimed Dumbell. "You are sure it's Fent- little? You're not pulling my leg. sir?"
"Not a blt," grinned Playfair. "The evidence I have is conclusive.” What is it? (Solution on Page Three)

the grass. It is an excellent way of slimming and doesn't cost anything. Pulling the lawn roller is also good for the figure. Should you decide to get out the mowing machine its us well to look over the grass for stray stones that may damage the blades of the machine.
2. To play their favourite gramophone records without changing the needle frequently. Like books, records should not be lent to people unless it is certain that you will get them back within o reasonable time.
3.
To make a habit of asking them to hold things, whether a parcel, a skeln of wool or some curtain material; it invariably takes too long.
4. To get out of a sports car by pulling yourself up with the aid of the windscreen, which is a fragile thing and the glass alone costs quite a lot of money. The purpose of a windscreen is to denden the weight of the 'wind and not support a woman weighing, anything from five stones up- wards.
