LONDON, Nov. 5 (U.So-Lord

The fairly intelligent book
reader can learn to read and COM
prehend fully so per cent faster
than the usual rate, according to
Walter B. Pitkin. professor of
journalism at Columbia Univer
sity. in his book, THE Art Of
Rapid Reading"
With this improvement, the
reader could cover so books a
year instead of the usual 10 &C.
complished by the average person
reading an hour q day, Prof. Pit
kin points out.
Virtually every American bust
ness man with moderately good
eyes can read 40 books . year, he
estimates. These he puts under
several claSsificationS to represent
a balanced mental diet as follows:
Eight books Of the light matters.
II books of average difficulty, 10
books Of solid reading and S books
requiring close study. He said:
Ordinary newspaper items
and the simpler varieties of fiC-
tiOn are usually read at the rate
Of five or six words per second.
This speed can be maintained
for an hour Or two without
strain
"SupDOse yOu spend two hOurs
daily throughout the year on
such light reading. Your an
nual cOVerage would then
amount to 13, ,OO0. 900 words more
or less five words per second
equals l8,O0O words an hour, or
1,O8O,O0O pr month Of two
hours daily reading). This
would equal $50 books Of 1OO,.
600 words each"
Six thousand words an hour is
doing well with technical discus
sionS Of subjects almost wholly
new to the reader which must bo
studied rather than read, he says.

we are having only one meal,
we should leave our napkin, un-
folded, as is, on the left of the

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOllett.

Fatigue is beauty foe. 1t
is devourer of youth and good
looks. 1t is produced in the
body by prolonged activities,
either mental or physical, and
it in turn creates toxins which
are depressing. They slow up
the step, take the healthy spar
kle from the eyes, destroy appe.
tite and rob the weary one Of
interest in pretty nearly every
thing. No sane woman will
drive herself to the point Of IA
tigue. which depleteS the vital
ity of the mind, the spirit and
the physical mechanism.
Swollen tissues just below the
eyes can be caused by inteSti-
nal disturbance. Sometimes
they are an inheritance. Fo-
mentations, followed by cold
congresses, will shrink the It's
sue cells for the time being,
freshening the counteance for
the evening party. Laving with
witch hazel is a good lotion.
Dip cotton pads in witch hazel
and apply.
Outdoor life is vitalizing.
So is sunshine. Don't foI get
the old adage to improve each
shining hour" which may or
may not mean. that the time
to be out Of the house is when
the sun is smiling.

Close, to Breakdown

II guess 't1l have to go that
way" said Captain Blake IN a
sharp. almost disagreeable tone.
A few minutes later Phillip
Robertson was called in for
questioning. He was very close
to a breakdown. He renlem-
bered distinctly all the events of
the morning. He had left the
house shortly before nine-thirty
and walked to Fifth Avenue and
Forty-third Street where the Of
fices Of the solicitors were To-
Gated. It had taken fully half
an hour to complete all arrange
mentS through which the estate
of his uncle was finally turned
over to him. There was an ap-
pointment made for four that
afternoon at the bank, purpoSeIy
after banking hours, at which
time all the cash in the estate
was to be given in his name. He
had made arrangements to draw
it as he and Mrs. Robertson
planned to leave New York that
very day, going by boat to
Quebec.
Leaving the solicitors office
he had walked to Madison Ave.

had better consult Mrs. Robert
son again about various pur-
chases he had to make and
walked through Madison Ave.

Heavy Fire Irons Used

Captain Blake and Jardin
were already there. Skelly, the
detective who had been on
guard, was in the room. Beside
them there was only Phillip
Robertson. His face was tear
stained, although he seemed to
have gotten hold on himself.
Captain Blake went into an
adjoining room with Dale.
why didn't you tell me
sooner. Dale? Fifteen minutes
earlier we would have saved ner
life. 1t was almost as horrible
as the other one. Your call
came about 10:30-I got Skelly
and he came right upstairs and
found her dead. Heavy fire

fingerprints. Doc came over
with me and said she was dead
not more than Is minutes, 20 at
the outside. What do you know,
Dale?"
What I've discovered won't

Suppose I tell you that it might
ruin any chance to get the Grim.

Fake Telephone Call

When Captain Blake ques-
toned Skelly the detective con-
firmed Robertson's statement.
Skelly had seen him depart be-
fore nine-thirty and return after
the discovery of the murder.
Anybody else go. in and out
of the house between ten and
ten-fifteen, Skelly?" asked
Blake.
Il was holding the phone
then, Captain Blake. in the
store right next to the apart
ment waiting for you."
Waiting for me?".
"Sure; it was about ten after
ten when the storekeeper called
me to the phone. The operator
told me to hold on, you wanted
me. About five minutes later
the operator said never mind
you'd call me later"
Il never called you at that
time! That's when the murderer
got in and out of the house!"
Then at 10:30 I got another
call and come right up here and
found the body. ! was trying to
telephone the office and find
the wire was cut. Just then
Mr.. Robertson comes in and,
hoping to quiet him down a bit
and not leave the place myself,
asked him to find a telephone.
In a few minutes he comes up,
worse than ever"
1T was planned perfectly,

fectly,' Dale remarked.
They went into the living
room again. They had scarcely
entered when messenger ar
rived with an envelope for
Robertson. 1t turned out to be
the steamship tickets for that

Mr.. and Mrs. Phillip Robertson.
He took them and choked back

these back to the sailing office,

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. When eating in a restau.
rant or inn where people of
breeding dine, must one take
the chair offered by the waiter,
even if it is the furthest away?
2. Must the lady's escort or
the waiter seat her and re-
move her wrap? I think it is
the place Of the escort to help
the lady at all times, but my
friend and have had an argu-
ment about it and he says it
is the walters place. Who is
correct? Z
3. When dining in such a
place, or, in fact, anywhere, is
it ever proper to eat chicken
with the fingers?
4. Where should the napkin
be left after using and, should
it not be folded. A. M. P.
/. Take the chair you wish
to take. The fact that the
waiter offers you a chair, that
he puts his hand on a chair,
does not mean that you must
take that chair.
