NOT A FLIVVER

By Frank A. Ford

Mr. Ford is not one of those puzzle builders, who, grown sated with simple things, grow perverse in their madness for the dark and recondite. And, if you are inclined to call Mr. Ford a Master of Unkeyed Letters—well, just try your hand at constructing a twenty-one square puzzle.
