A Topeka chap who was from ten to
thirty minutes late to work every morn
ing bought an alarm clock The first
few mornings he sprang out of bed at
the first sound from the clock but at
ter a little its effect, like that of a mar
cotic in constant use, decreased and
he got the habit of reaching out of bed,
grabbing the clock, snnothering it under
q pillow and lying back for another nap
so that within a fortnight he was de-
linquent as often as ever. The other
day he gave his alarm clock away be-
cause it was so much bother to shut it
off every morning and now he slumbers
on undisturbed until few minutes be-
fore eight. He has started new re-
form directed against alarm clocks
which, he declares. weaken the moral
fibre and are the greatest evil OF the
age.
