Where the autumn breezes roam.

Come on. o merry season, when the

Importance Of Worldwide
Police Cooperation
By RICHARD SYLVESTER.
President Of the National of Caief Of Police

In this progressive age when everything has attained
high state of perfection when scientists and business
men, their ambition to attain glory and wealth. pursue
of rapidity before known changes have
been effected which completely transform the conditions
which prevailed ten years ago.
These modern departures apply to every class and
every sphere Of life The social proposition is entirely
new and those charged with the preservation of life and
property must adapt themselves to the situation in
der to meet it, or government must be inadequate.
The general public has been awake to the stua-
ton, but has been much absorbed in other directions
10 encourage and improve the police situation so
mojernize and perfect organizations generally that they
might be separately and unitedy prepared to contend
with conditions.
The police chiefs the other hand have been alive
TO the occasion and have assembled and exchanged ideas
and discussed vital questions, with view of bringing
about intelligent and energetic cooperation.
These sessions have been productive of excellent results
system and unison Of action have followed which has
been Of the greatest value to society.
During the last year the police heads of the United
States by appropriate resolutions called upon Congress

IT YET SHALL BE.
By H. L. VAN METER.

4 sweeter song my soul has heard
Than angel anthem, lay Of bird.
It cheers my heart in storm and night.
And makes both storms and darkness
bright
The sweetest song that comes to me-
The song of hope-It may yet be!
Is winter here? Have scngbirds Hedz
They have but flown; they are not dead,
The SHOWS will melt. aud with the spring
The birds return on joyous wing.
And flowers that faded long ago
VIII bloom again in summers glow
Though skies be black and dark the
night,
The day draws near with blessed light
So faces that have vanished here
II heavens bright morn viii reappea,
Sweet voices that are bushed and still
VIII there again our spirits thrill
Hopes may have fowE. but not for aye.
True hone will live deafness day.
Above the clouds, beyond the night.
Faith scars and sings in living light
Thence comes the sweetest song to me,
The song Of hope-It yet shall be!

THE MEASUREMENT OF SLEEP

Few phenomena in human experience
are at the same time so common and SO
mysterious as sleep, says the New
York Tribune" For hours at a time
the physical senses and mental faculties
remain inactive, and then rather alb
Tuptly acquire their wonted keenness
X has long been known that age, sex,
occupation, state Of health, and other
influences anecs the period during which
this suspension Of consciousness lasts,
end also the sounduess of ones sleep.
There Is reason 10 think. too. that the
latter IS variable through the night
with every individual, even though his
slumber NAY remain practically IN
broken This phase OF the Subject. how
ever, has not been studied much until
recently Hence Few people realize
how greatly thc depth OF sleep fUctu-
atss.
IN order 10 get some light on the
question. TWO investigators in the Uni
TersiJy OF Rome-Dr. Santo de Sanctis
and D. L NeyTiz-condUcted a series Of
experiments which extended through six
months Nine different persons-four Of
whom were thoroughly healthy and five
Of whom had diseased nervous systems
we're the subjects Of these tests. The
general plan OF procedure was to wait
until after they had fallen asleep, and
tnen employ uniform means TO awaken
them For this purpose an instrument
was used called "a esthesiometer. It
'ges made up OF q blunt point that
might be pressed against the skin,
spiral spring. and carefully graduated
scale which showed the degrees OF pres

The same person was not awakened
more than once or twice a night. but
the experiments were so timed that in
The course OF few months they covered
the whole elght-hour period during
which sleep lasted. at intervals Of ten or
fifteen minutes. several times over.

cuiarly apt application in a case
like this.
It Is altogether probable that the
