Can You Help Pat O’Brien Solve a Traffic Problem?
Pat O’Brien has a map puzzle on his hands that has him thinking hard. Here’s the proposition that confronts him: A pilot has to make three flights. The first is from Guam Island (A) to Roratonga (B). The second hop is from Wake Island (C) to Fiji Islands (D), and the third is from the Midway Island (E) to New Guinea (F). But in no case must the route of the plane cross its previous routes. In other words, three lines must be drawn without any of them cross

(4th Day Publicity) Winners Named In First Brain Teaser Contest
That solving brain teasers is largely a matter of seeing what one looks at has again been proven to the entire satisfaction of ten Sain eee (newspaper) readers who knew that two hours and forty minutes contain just 160 minutes, and consequently there was no difference in the aviator’s flying time in the first of this series of five brain teasers.

Today’s brain teaser is just as easy to solve as the others, only it sounds a little more involved. But read it carefully, and remember the hint already given you — that you must see what you look at if you are to be a successful Puzzle Fan and win free theatre tickets.
“‘China Clipper’’ is a truly unusual motion picture. Everyone knows that recently an aeroplane of that name established the first air route between this country and the Orient. The picture tells the dramatic story of the pioneers who made this accomplishment possible. Authentic in every detail, it is filled with excitement, romance and considerable humor, for aviators have a broad sense of the ridiculous and laugh and joke in the presence of death. Commander Frank Wead, himself a former Navy flying ace, wrote the screen story, which was directed by Ray Enright. The cast includes Pat O’Brien, Beverly Roberts, Ross Alexander, Humphrey Bogart and a score of Hollywood film favorites.

Last Chance To Win Free “China Clipper’? Tickets
Pat O’Brien has Ross Alexander plenty puzzled over an aviation story which all the rest of the “China Clipper” production crew have solved to Pat’s satisfaction. It’s one told to Pat by a transport pilot on a recent flight, and it furnished him lots of fun. Here it is:
Nine men, all suspected of a certain crime were flying from New York City to Dallas, Texas. An investigator on the plane quizzed all nine of ’em, trying to determine the guilty one. Of the nine answers he got, ONLY THREE WERE THE TRUTH. The problem is for you to determine which man is the guilty one. Here are their answers:
Shaw: Fields is guilty.
Fletcher: It was not Fields.
Smith: I did it.
Lee: It was either Smith or Turner.
Fields: Fletcher is not telling the truth.
Perkins: Smith is guilty.
Jones: It was not Smith.
Turner: It was neither Smith nor I,
Williams: Turner is telling the truth, and it wasn’t
Fields, either.
ANSWER:
If Fields were guilty, then the statements of Shaw, Fields, Jones and Turner are true. That violates the condition that only three of them are telling the truth.
Assuming that Smith is guilty, then Fletcher, Smith, Lee, and Perkins are telling the truth. Again a violation.
If Shaw, Fletcher, Lee, Perkins, Jones, or Williams is guilty, then the statements of Fletcher, Jones. Turner and Williams are true.
Hence, Turner is guilty; and Fletcher, Lee and Jones told the truth.
Here’s your last chance, Movie Fans, to win two free

Correct answers must be submitted to the “China Clipper” Contest Editor of the ..........0... (newspaper) before six o’clock tomorrow evening, after which no replies will be considered,
ANSWER:
Beverly Roberts can’t figure out Director Ray Enright’s cigarette puzzle. It seems a co-pilot on a southern transcontinental plane ran out of cigarettes. There were no passengers in the plane, but in searching the ash trays of the cabin, he discovered thirty-six “butts.” He was able to make a cigarette of normal size by using six butts. Now, what Miss Roberts has to determine is: How many cigarettes can the pilot make and smoke? (We'll tell you before-hand that the answer is not six.)
ANSWER:
The answer is seven. When he has smoked the six cigarettes, he has six butts again and can make himself another cigarette.

Winners of the second day’s contest were: (Insert names).
They won by using their brains. The “teaser” said a suicide note had been hidden between pages 185 and 186 of a book. Now, as the victim was a book publisher, he would have known that the odd number of a book page is always on the right hand page, and that it would be impossible to hide anything between pages 185 and 186 because they are on the same sheet. So would you have known this, if you had taken the trouble to experiment.
Now see if you can win a prize in today’s contest which ends the series,
