A Woman's Viewpoint .BY MBS. WALTER FERGUSON

“TJ EADING time, four minutes," is a caption often found these days at the head of an article or piece of fiction. The short, short, short story has become popular. Reading by a stop-watch does not strike me as reading at all. It's only the surface of the mind skimming over words. If this passion for brevity continues. reading stands a good chance of becoming a lost art. Although it may be possible to dash from one end of your state to the other in a day by automobile, you shouldn’t expect to get over the printed page in the same hasty fashion and pretend to know anything about its contents. Os course, you are not likely to learn very much about your state either, for when you speed through it at 60 miles an hour you’re presumedly bent only on reaching your destination. You are not interested in gathering information or Inspiration. It seems senseless, however, to go at our reading in such headlong fashion, since it must be assumed our objective is different. Surely, no one reads just to get to the end of the story. Thf-re is one way of reading with and another way of reading with the mind.

WEISS TO RESCUE AS MACHINERY SLIPS COG ON JOURNAL READING

Democratic leaders in the Senate got their cues mixed yesterday afternoon when the upper house reconvened. Procedure in the Assembly calls for reading of the Senate or House Journal by the journal clerk. This is strictly a bore because all the members know what's in the journal and do not care to be reminded of it. Yesterday, the journal clerk started droning out the opening portion of the journal. Senator Thurman A. Gottschalk <D., Berne), entrusted with the task of blocking the journal reading, was caught “napping off first base.” It was a time for emergency action. Senator Jacob Weiss <D., Indianapolis), president pro tern., quickly reminded Senator Gottschalk and the latter made the time-honored motion “that further reading of the journal bedispensed with.” Senator Weiss seconded the motion and every one sat back with a sigh of relief. It looked for a moment as though the journal finally was going to be read.

A pall of gloom, heavy as the chill morning mist, hung over the members of the safari when Orman announced that he was determined to go on. It was broken by Gordon Z. Marcus, who was cast to play Naomi's father in the picture. “Let us eat, drink, and be merry; for tomorrow we die,” he misquoted cheerily.

“We may not have to wait for tomorrow,” Obroski said huskily: “some of us may get it today!” “Can that line of chatter!” Orman snapped. “If you’re scared, keep it to yourself.” Naomi, too, turned frightened eyes on the directdr. Anticipating her plea to turn back, he exclaimed: “Now don't you start it too!”

Soon the safari prepared to move. As Rhonda and Naomi gathered up their luggage, Gordon Z. Marcus stowed a make-up case in .the front of their car. “Where’s Bill?” asked Rhonda; “isn’t he riding with us today?” “No, he’s going with the camera truck,” the driver explained. “That’s funny,’ she commented uneasily.

It suddenly occurred to her that Bill West was avoiding her, and she wondered why. Rhonda tried in vain to recall any offense she might have committed. She felt strangely troubled, and her sadness blotted out for a time all thoughts of the dangers ahead. But she recalled them as Orman shouted. “Lets go!”
