THIEVES, MARCH ON RADCLIFFE STIR UP POLICE, SUPER-SLEUTH

That fine body of men, the Cambridge police, has called me into this Radcliffe case and I have solved it with my usual acumen. It was elementary.

Look at the facts. The robbers stole thirty-nine dollars. On the night of August 31. The last day of the month. They approached in a group of two. Armed with lethal weapons, guns. The picture becomes clearer with each new piece of evidence, doesn't it?

The last day of the month Harvard students are broke, 39 is a mystic Hindu number (like Ali Babs and the Forty Thieves, of which one was just poor but honest)., and the average allowance of students in Indic Philology 39b is 39 dollars (amazing coincidence you think?). Now who takes Ind. Phil. 39b. a snap course, why that great group of takers of snap courses, the Lampoon. There we have it. Last day, 39 dollars, Ind. Phil. 39b. 'Poon. It's plain as day. THE 'POON DID IT. That's all right, folks, don't applaud. It was elementary.
