Brain TwizzIers By Prot. ]. Q. Flint

This TWizZler really happened. A well-known man who was noted for his disbelief in mind-reading went to a vaudeville performance which included demonstration Of second sight. During the demon- stration the man was startled to hear the blindfolded performer say, '"There is 8 gentleman seated in the tenth row, in the center section, in the second seat from the right hand aisle who doesn't believe in second sight. In his left hand vest pocket he has his little black purse and in that purse is a ive-dollar bill. The number on the bill is D4le52l59A."
 The well-known man felt in his pocket and found the purse and the numbered bill just as described. After a few minutes thought he analysed the problem. Would you have known how the performer knew ell this?

she a divOrcee, both being in the

mind. But she changed it for no

"NOw she has the courts back
Of her, and the right to make her
husband pay her attorneys fees

'Tf she wants a divorce as badly

she gives for not coming to my
home is that every woman has the
right to change her mind. She
gives cocktail and gin parties

"My main question to you Is,
does this sound like real justice?

suited a good lawyer, that you will
lose no time in doing so, or that
YOU will go to the Legal Aid So
