WATCH THE LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER

By Marcam

One of the editors, being tempted to solve this one in the proof, found it smooth, consistent sailing throughout, save in the lower left hand corner. This section probably isn’t hard at all. Wonder how you will find it. You know how a pair of absurdly easy words will stump you now and then.

ROUND AND ROUND

By Persephone

The double round of blacks outlines four good corners and a center which, while bearing an unenviable five-spot, would have been virtually impossible of construction without it. The unkeyed letters should not cause any trouble.

MY SECOND AND LAST

By Joseph A. Margolies

“This is my second and last,” writes J. A. M. “Too absorbing. Leaves no time to read.” We don’t believe J. A. M. He underestimates the frailty of the human soul where cross word puzzles are concerned. He’ll be at it with ruled paper and pencil again, and then he’ll swear off again.
