' Baffle Mysteries Copyright 1930 Dafly Mirror, Ine Baffle mysteries give you ingenious and dramatic crimes to solve —many of them founded on actual cases which have bafiled detec- tives throughout the world in years past. Each mystery gives you the facts established by the police—what the detectives had to go upon and no more. Which are the telltale clues? What do you deduce from them? 1In short, how will you answer the question asked of you at the end of cach baffle? “Wh) is guilty?” or “What was the motive?” etc. This is no contest, there are no prizes, it is simply presented for your entertainment.
