rometers, billboard, car cards and
'box scores.

captions, household hints and the

Then there are those who read
palms and horoscopes, timetables,
menu cards, each other out of the
party, weather reports, murder trials,
divorce suits and cartoons.
No question about it, we are a na

We read everything but books.
