Brain TWizzIers By Prof. J. D. Flint

In ancient Rome 8 squad of eight gladiators was selected to defend themselves in the arena against @ number of starved lions. The cage of lions was placed in the center of an eight pointed star as shown above and the men were to be placed on each point of the star. The captain was instructed, as part of his duty, to use his intelligence in figuring out this problem. He must start each gladiator from any unoccupied star point and send him in straight line to the nearest star point. In this way he was to place his seven men on seven points leaving the eighth point open for himself. How did he get his seven men on the seven points7
 The captain used coins to figure out the problem. You may do SO, too. Above Is the eight pointed star.

SOUATTERS WORK
 ON FOR NOTHING

Washington. July 303-(UP)-One hundred squatters, working away at typewriters for love-and love alone were discovered today in an air- cooled suite of the governments newest building.
 They don't have any right to be there. They don't get any pay. They don't even exist-legally. But there they arc and there they are dem. onstratlng that little details like laws and the edicts of congress mean nothing whatever to folks who are interested in their jobs.
 They are the members of the stan of Joseph B. Eastman, federal coor- dinator of transportation. Ills office was abolished by congress 8 month and half ago. It's still operating illegally perhaps-but full blast. The situation is an ironic one. Eastman has $32,OOO to pay his clerks, but he can't spend nickel of 1t. No tell- ing what will happen to the money. Nobody wants 1t; nobody but the clerks who need 1t and can't have 1t. Some of the workers got jobs elsewhere in the government, but were loaned back to Eastman, to work for him for nothing. Some haven't made a cent for their labor since June 16. Eastman has been lending them money to live.

MILK PRODUCERS
 TO GET INCREASE

Hartford, Conn, July 30.---(UP)-- Beginning August 1, Connecticut milk producers will receive one cent a quart more for their milk used by dealers for cream purposes, Milk Administrator s. Mclean Bucking- ham has announced. The new rule ing, decided upon late yesterday. brings with 1t an increase in the price of milk sold by producers for manufacturing purposes. Notice was also served on the trade that the ruling which requires dealers to pay fluid price for milk which they sell to charity will be enforced fin the future. The new price Of milk for cream is 30 cents . hundred weight over the Boston market btit- ter price as compared with "A cents on the same basis.
 The most difficult problem in milk control has been that of a charity milk. The producer has not been paid the established price for his milk, but has accepted Q lower rate, fearing he would otherwise lose his market. Attempts to efl- force the ruling of both the prevl- GUS milk control board and the pres- ent milk administration have been handicapped because of difficult legal problems involved.
