because their families spent tn G sum-

This left the Greeks badly in the hole,
and the only way they could get out
was TO have the new year begin Sep

man will learn to do without sleep.
He thinks human beings sleep too
much, as a rule, and says sleeping
is a bad habit. In discussing a
proper mode of life, he said:
There is absolutely no reason
why we should sleep except that
our prehistoric ancestors got into
the habit of sleeping and we have
never broken ourselves oft. There
is no need of sleep now. We can
turn the darkness of night into the
light of day by our electric lights,
