As he limbers up, another Cambridge group far off in the Belgian Congo will be busy at their study...

Suspicions naturally focused on the sources, i.e., the distributing syndicates-principally Bell Syndicate, General Features and Superior Features Syndicate -which sell puzzle contests to newspapers.
