READ A HALF HOUR A DAY
How a Housewife With intelligence
Kept Herself From Drifting Into
Dull, Old Woman.

A woman who has brought up big
family on small income, yet has
managed to keep mentally alert, says
1t Is due to Half.Hour club.
This club has as It's fixed rule that
half an hour each day must be spent
In solid reading. There was leeway
OF "a hours, after that there was a
fine OF Ave cents each day for fail.
ure to get through the prescribed
reading.
Twice month the club meets for
discussion OF the reading done and to
collect fines of delinQuents and spur
them on to fresh effort.
The woman who told OF this club
says: mo one knows what 1t has
meant to me. When you are the one
woman In family of boys, have q
bushel basket of stockings to darn
weekly, six children to sew for. les.
sons to be heard, II is a big tempta.
ton to stop reading entirely or to
ritter spare minutes on novels. That
half hour a day OF solid reading has
kept me up with the times, has rested
my body and stimulated my brain,
and, best OF all, It has kept me from
drifting into dull old woman, Of
whom my sons might love. but would
pity for her ignorance.
Especially II you live in a small
town IL such club of Importance. II
Is easy to stagnate. unless conscious
EFFORT Is made. The winter season Is
the time to start such a club among
yours neighbors. DO not be content
with planning halfhour reading
daily for yourself. You will never hold
to 1t without the stimulus OF COM
panlonship and the broadening inter.
est OF the fortnightly meetings.
Paint Pot BanIshed From Japan.
The paint pot Is practically banished
from Japan. That Is the first thing
you notice as you approach the coast:
for the first adventurous fishing boat
you pass is built. It would seem. of
about half dozen broad. implanted
deal planks. So with the sampans
that cluster round your ship as soon
as the anchor Is dropped: they are all
nature colored. undecorated. and unde-
faced by a single lick Of the paint
brush. So with the houses of tho
first Japanese street you enter. they
are weathered to the silvergray Of un-
painted pine. Such color as there is
proceeds from the innumerable strips
OF calico. inscribed with huge hero
glyphics, which flap perpendicularly
or horizontally before every house.
