Puzzle a Day

Bill Durham bought o new in
strument for the accordion endur-
ance contest. Shortly afterward, he
read a newspaper announcement
stating that Raymond Swanson had
played twenty-six hours in one
stretch, while practicing for the con-
test. Much Disguised, he returned
the unused accordion to the dealer,
who put it on sale for the original
price. AS the instrument did not
resell quickly, he reduced it system
.atically, as shown above. 1t re-
quires only one nor markdown to
reach the dealers cost.
Can you discover what that is?
Last puzzle answer:
Four thousand even hundred and
eight swans were counted in five
days; on the first day, 843; second,
1859; third, 1,085; fourth, 1877; fifth,
1924. BY adding quantities on first
and second days, 1902; second and
third, 1874; third and fourth, 1922;
fourth and fifth, 2,021, you get 7,2S9,
number counted on first and fifth
days with double the number on
second, third and fourth days. 1927
minus 4,708 actual count, equals
1851 or count for second, third and
fourth days. 1851 minus 1874 (sec-
ond and third days. equal 1877, count
for fourth day. Q,S22 minus 1877
equals 1885; 2,O21 minus 1877 equals
1884; 1874 minus 1,085 equals 1859;
1902 minus 759 equals 843).

about the inroads of the vile press
agents. And they speak with author
ity. Results may be interesting.
The advertising men say that the
paid publicity man is the worst prob
lem of the advertising man, not be-
cause the publicity man is a bad man,
but because he contrives to get free
space for what otherwise would be
paid advertising He cuts in on the
advertising mans revenue-and that
causes the advertising man to rise up
in holy wrath and get a load off his
mind.
Advertising, it is pointed out, fur
nished revenue of $220,000,000 to
newspapers in 1925, and for this the
newspapers ought to give thanks
Also they ought to remember where
they got it. They ought to play the
game and help their benefactors pro-
tect their pastures green.

editors better to inform themselves
about the character of free publicity"
In other words, editors are letting
into their columns a lot of press
agent CUFF about all manner of things
and much that looks to the reader like
news is not news at all. This is
cheating the reader, of course. And
it is cheap, mean sort of cheating.
But the advertising men are not
telling the whole story, and so they
are cheating, too. What about that :?
Let us look into the matter bit
Every reader has seen real estate
pages, so-called home building pages,
theatrical pages, movie pages, radio
pages and many other kinds of pages.
In practically every such case the
reading matter that fills up the space
between and around advertisements
on such pages is press agent or pub
licity matter.
Furthermore, the editor or publish
er frequently promises to publish a
certain amount of such stuff in con-
sideration for advertising contracts.
1t is all rotten, cheating business
and a shame on the newspaper busi-
ness.
But the worst press agent stuff of
all is not that which displaces adver-
tising. 1t is not the poor stuff that
boosts certain commodities or certain
movie stars-it is the promotion stuff
that boosts the various half baked
causes" for which rich and foolish
men and women give their money to
employ high power publicity men,
The whole business of press agent
ing is scandalous. Men who furnish
news to newspapers on it's merits as
news are in another class. There are
many publicity men who honestly and
conscientiously stick to news and they
serve real purpose. But the horde
of paid tricksters and news space
burglars ought to be canned far and
fast But the advertising men tell
only half the sordid story in their
complaint. They live in house with
a lot of glass themselves and they
ought to either throw no rocks orstake
