Magic Horseshoes BY WALTER KING 'T'HE idea that horseshoes bring luck is an old superstition, but this pair of shoes certainly will bring a lot of fun. To make the shoes, trace the circle in the diagram on a piece of thin cardboard by means of carbon paper. Then cut out the TRICK four fancy pieces, following the cut-out lines carefully. Next, set up the two horseshoes by placing A and B together, and then C and D together. Finally, mark the outline of the shoes on each set, making them as realistic as possible. The puzzle now is to rearrange the magic horseshoes so that they make a perfect circle. It may appear ap-pear to be easy for you now you have seen the arrangement, but don't be too sure until you try it. Ham-er A professor of law was lecturing to his students. "When you're fighting a case, if you have the facts on your side, 'hammer them into the jury, and if you have the law on your side hammer it into the judge." "But if you have neither the facts nor the law?" asked one of his students. "Then hammer on the table," answered the professor. From "A Writer's Notebook," by W. Somerset Maugham (Doubleday).
