Farm Show building in Har-

weekend.
The farm show is big — a
veritable giant, as evidenced
by some of the projected sta-
tistics for this year’s show.
It is estimated there are
10,500 entries worth $10,000-
000 and prizes worth $65.-
000. The main exhibition
building is 11 full acres un-

8,000 people, plus 50 acres of
parking for 15,000 vehicles—-

Lola's Miracle
Yes, indeed, for there is a
definite way by which any
normal person can zoom his
reading rate, as well as his
retention of what he reads.
First, Lola should spend a
few hours each week in a
“Reading Clinic”, such as
many colleges now conduct.
Therein the students can
easily quadruple their read-
ing speed just by having
pages of copy flashed in front
of them for a few seconds at
a time.

that miracle?”
For many years in our psy-
chology laboratories we have
used a machine called a
tachistoscope which lets us
expose printed copy for brief
moments of time.
Nowadays, an adaptation
of this machine is employed
in many high schools and
colleges to speed up the read-
ing rate of slow readers.
Some formerly very slow
readers who could spend all
