GOOD READING

For some time / have been con-
sidering the advisability of asking
the mature readers of the American
if they would not like to take I'D a
definite course of reading this COM
ing winter and make it so popular
that they would want to continue it
year after year
Everyone reads more or less, but
few read with a definite end in mind.
We ramble over good deal of ground
but when the end of the year is
reached the knowledge gained is from
such scattered sources that its value
is somewhat doubtful Why not make
it definite? Aim at something. And
in the end, we shall be well versed
on a few subjects, so much so that
we can converse on them entertain
ingly and proftably.
There is place in every school
district for little reading circle for
mutual helpfulness and socfability.
Everyone has time to do some read
ing every day. / want to hear from
those who are willing to do it. Espe-
cially do I want to hear from the
older folks of families, those who
have reared families and who realize
that now is the best time to learn.
1t makes no difference where You

Puzzle a Day

Two white tiled tables in his
small experimental laboratory were
too small, so bacteriologist, John
Mazur, decided to have one large
table built to take their place. On a
large table he figured he could
watch several experiments in syn
thetic plant life at once. The car
penter called in told Mr.. Mazur that
cause the table tops were construct
ed of small glazed tiles, they could
each be cut along the cemented lines
into two pieces. These parts could
then be recemented to form a larger
square table top and the legs of
one table could be used as support.
In this way new table would cost
very little. The carpenter then pro-
ceeded to draw plans showing his
exact method,
Can you duplicate these plans?
