 At 6:30 a. fn., today during af1- other raid, bomb cut the railway administration building in half and only the fact that 1t was so early In the morning prevented heavy loss of life. The building had been crowded by several thousand persons during business hours. There were several casualties near the airport and after the morning raid, Poles began barricading the streets.
 There were no signs of troop movements here, but Warsaw's stragglers believed that strong Polish force was already concen- trated north of the city to defend 1t, and that 1t had not yet seen fit to call for endorsements.
 The first sign that Polish troops were falling back to the city was expected to be the sound of Bug river bridges being blown up in re- treat.

 The Raila put in here yesterday. Its officers reported that they saw the submarine at noon.
 Tt is possible" Callahan said, that the captain and first mate of the Raila were mistaken, but they appear to be convinced they saw a submarine vruising on the surface not far from the entrance to Key West harbor."

Wherefore Shot Rogers came
back to the ranch house at about
9 O'Clock that Sunday night with
Lorena, and announced rather
loudly to George Brazee and sew.
eral other persons there that the
IL armed scouts would depart at
dawn tomorrow on their second ex-
pedition into the hills. There was
some discussion. The scouts them
selves were called up from the
bunkhouse and a conference held
there on the Brazee front porch.
They agreed to ride to place
called the Hump, landmark sug.
gesting the back of a camel, and
swing in a wide arc from there to
the westward, hoping to pick up
some sign of Escobar's band. They
knew the Hump was near the Mex.
ican-American border line. George
Brazee warned them against going
much south Of there, lest they face
political repercussions.
Jerry Dale took part in the talk.
But this young man was noticeably
subdued since the difficulty at the
dance the night before. The discol-
grafton on his face served as an
advertisement of the blow he had
received, and he was sensitive about
it. But he managed not to miss any

When the conference ended, Lo-
rena edged Shot Rogers away to .
private place and spoke to him
anxiously.
That was a mistaken" she whis-
pered. "You have talked out tho

all the hands coming up to listen.

I noticed them all there, too. Nat

But it does matter. I tell you:
They know all your plans now.
If there is a spy. he can start
early tonight and tell Escobar that
you'll be at the Hump before noon
tomorrow. and that you will be
leading your men on searching
party around that spot for two or
three days"
"Sure he can. in fact, 1 hope he
does take that word to Escobar."
For goodness sakes, why?"
because we ain'-aren't going
to be at the Hump. You and are
the only ones that know it, but we
are going to leave here toward the

been estimated at 200 per cent more
than in 1900.
Great Increase in Reading
The amount we read, whether we
are required to or not, is astonlsh-
ing compared to a person IN the
same relative walk of life century
ago. I inherited my grandtather's
library. He was a physician, as l
am.
His medical library consisted OF
five books. On the shelf in front OF
me are thirty-seven technical medl-
cal books. He subscribed to one med
ical magazine. I take six.
His general library consisted OF
about Is volumes-Gibbon's Decline
and Fall, Bunyan, Shakespeare,
Irving's Columbus, Hildreth's His
tory of the United States and bound
volumes of Harper's Magazine. In
the room where sit are 1000 books.
Newspaper an Education
My grandfather's newspaper was
a thin two-page sheet, mostly sher-
IFS advertisements. I recently, as
an experiment, in five different cities
on five different days, read all OF one
local newspaper. In each case it
took me over two hours.
In each case l was interested, in
structed, stimulated and enlight-
ened. I don't suppose my grand
father ever read in any one day as
much as read in each of those five
DAYS. To read such newspapers is a
cultural experience-a liberal edu-
cation.

Reading Efficiency

cient is our reading nowadays? Is
the human nervous system able to
stand this high-power onslaught on
it?
Pupils Backward in Reading
Beginning in the schools, DR.. Ar
thur Gates estimates that of pupils
in junior and senior high schools
per cent are no better readers than
third grade pupils. Of $4,000 fifth
and sixth grade pupils, 30 per cent
have not progressed beyond the
fourth grade reading standard.
Pauses make up 95 per cent Of the
time you spend in reading. You read
to the end of a line, then, with
long reverse sweep, your eyes move
to the beginning of the next line.
Then you pause before starting to
read that line. Ten per cent of the
non-reading time is spent in making
the eye movements. The rest of the
non-reading time is spent in pause
at the beginning of the line.
Camera Records It
This can be determined by de-
vice with a camera which records
the eye movements while reading.
The good reader is the one who cuts
down the pause period to the lowest
possible point. Good reading is
rhythmic reading.
Reading efficiency can be inn.
proved. Nine out Of every 10 stu
dents who were carefully trained
by experts improved in capacity for
reading.
The highly efficient reader can
take in more than one word in an
instant, as his eyes travel across a
page. That is, he can read more than
one word without a fxation, how
ever momentary, of the eyes. But
even the best cannot take in many
words. If in reading a line of 10
words you pause feetingly six times,
your index is 1.6. Even the most
efficient cannot do better than IL.
