Said that great' MS vie Producer, Cesar B. De Miller,ito his hated rival, Movie Producer David Wark field Griffin "I have just engaged four of the greatest Moving Ficture Stars in America for Day next ,big Moving Picture play." Of course this. miade, Griff in.angry be cause he likes to be the greatest of all the great -Movie Producers and he tried his best to persuade De Miller to tell him the names of the, great Movie Stars. Just to tantalize him, Cesar B. De Miller gave David Warkfield Grif fin four seieret odes representing the names of the four Movie iStars he had engaged and told him that if he had brains enough to discover the names f rom these secret codes he deserved to know them, j It was too much of a puzzle for Griffin, solit isisaid he called in Scotland Yard and offered them a thousand dollars if they would discover! the names for him from the exactly as you would; any other sum of figures, four secret codes tha De Miller had given him. This was an easy jqb for the great Scotland Yard Detective Force, and in less than an hour they had the four names. They gave the names to Griffin and also gave him their system for working out their eliies. HERE IS THE WAY THEY DID IT. "It's O'Flynn easy," said Chief-of-Detectives "I have; worked out four sums which you see beneath each one of the four codes. "Add. up these fbur sums and your totals give you the four clues to the four names. "You go about l code has ten letters sents a number, represents 1, the , this way. Each secret to it. Each letter repre- The first letter of the code second letter represents 2, the third letter represents 3, and so on. The tenth letter in each code represents the cipher 0 instead of 10. "Each sum, as you see, Instead of numbers is made up of letters, but it contains only the letters that are contained in tie code above it. ' ' Now change the letters' 6f each sum into their equivalent numbers, according to the code above, putting them down line by line from left to right exactly as the letters;: for instance, the first letter of the first sum is N. N as you will see is the first letter of the secret code above that sum and therefore represents number 1. H, the second letter in the first line of the first sum is the eighth letter in the code above it, therefore it represents number 8. "After you have changed every letter of the sum into a number, add up the sum just exactly as you would any other sum of figures if and the total that you get gives you; your clues to the names of the Movie Stars, j., - " Then work outpour clues this way : , "Beginning at the left-hand sde of thja total of -your sum change each figure of the total back to its letter as represented in the secret code above the sum; for instance, I can tell you that the first number of the jiotal of the first sum is 7. The letter C is the seventh letter in the code above the first sum therefore the first letter represented by your total is letter C. Now change every number of your total in the same way and you' will have the name of the Movie Star represented by thai sum,'' - This is not an easy problem, but patience and perseverance may the crreat Movie Stars.
