low LONG TO SLEEP.
impossible to Lay Down Any Hard and
Fast RUS.

There can be no hard and fast
rules set for the length OF time ono
should sleep. All depends on the per-
son and temperament.
We are told that brain workers and
those of nervous nature need more
sleep than others, yet some of the
greatest thinkers in the world sleep
but four or five hours a night with no
i'll effects.
A good rule to follow is to sleep un-
til one awakes refreshed, whether that
is in five hours or ten.
If possible, do not be called This
is particularly important for growing
children. Some parents make fetish
Of early hours for their children and
think so much of getting them out OF
lazy habits that they do not consider
their nervous systems.
Even when you must go to work
at an early hour do not train yourself
to depend on an alarm, which gives q
shock to the nervous system. Go to
bed with the fixed idea in your brain
to awaken at certain hour, and 1t
rarely fails that your eyes pop open at
that minute.
If it be we'll to sleep until refreshed
it is not well to indulge in the habit
of turning over for another nap. Get
up as soon as you awake and you will
not be sluggish and stupid for several
hours of the morning.
Don't be one Of those persons who
says with an air: II never sleep in the
daytime" If you have any regard for
your looks and health you will take
short rest each day, even though you
think you cannot possibly sleep. 1t
won't be long before you are saying:
Il believe just dropped off," and will
feel better and brighter for it the rest
of the day and evening.
Remember there is nothing like
sleep to build up and restore nerve
power.

The HAMS ANNIS TRAGEDY
MURDERER's BROTHER is SAID
TO HAVE lNsTiGATED CRIME.
Several Queer Features are Noted in
the case-A Speedy Trial of the
Case Is Promised.

New York City.-Of far more in
terest than the formal arraignment in
police court Monday of Capt. Peter
G. Haines, jr., who shot and killed
William e. Annis, advertising man.
ager of magazine, on Saturday at the
Bayside Yacht club landing while his
brother, T. Jenkins Hams, held at bay
crowd of yachtsmen who sought to
prevent the tragedy, was evidence
which came into the hands of District
the shooting. 1t was established that
Capt. Hains and Mr.. Annis were on
such friendly terms that they went
automobiling together as recently as
May 29 last.
II have also been told by friends of
both Capt. Hams and Mr.. Annis that
this friendship ceased after talk
Capt. Hams had with his brother,
Jenkins Hains," said the district attor-
ney. II intend to have jenkins Hams
tried as an accessory before and dur
ing the fact, as I believe he is as
guilty as his brother. 1t was his let
ter to Capt. Hams that made the lat
ter hurry home from the Philippines
and question his wife regarding her
alleged conduct with Mr.. Annis, and it
was jenkins Hams who prevented
anyone from preventing Capt. Hams
from shooting Mr.. Annis."
Another remarkable feature of the
case is the friendship which exists be-
tween Mrs. Annis and Mrs. Claudia
Hams, Capt Hams wife. Mrs. Hams
called upon Mrs. Annis Sunday after
noon and remained with her until
nearly midnight. Mrs. Annis, who
witnessed the shooting of her hus-
band, has been prostrated since the
tragedy and cannot be seen. 1t is said
she has several letters written by
Capt. Hams to her husband threaten
ing his life. District Attorney Dar-
rim tried to secure these letters, but
owing to the illness of Mrs. Annis he
was unable to obtain them.
When the Hains brothers were
taken to a police station at Long
Island City Monday they had to wait
until a lot of petty cases had been dis
pOoCu VI DClOlC lhSll Cdoo Wdo CdllSu.
They were locked in the prison pen
and when arraigned stood ON the
bridge handcuffed together. Their
father was in the court room, but had
no chance to speak to his sons.
Their counsel, William G. Percy,
asked for an adjournment of a week
and it was granted. Then the broth.
ers, handcuffed to detectives, were
taken through the streets to a trolley
line five blocks away, followed by a
big crowd.
Later the prisoners were taken to
Brooklyn police headquarters, trip
of Is miles, in a patrol wagon and
photographed and measured up for
the Bertillon records.
District Attorney Darrin in the af-
ternoon announced that he would con-
vene special grand jury in an effort
to have an early indictment of the
brothers, and he says he expects to
have them ON trial by the middle of
September.
Jenkins Hams killed a man at Fort
ress Honroe, Va, IL years ago.

Lean Year Origin

Leap year is here. With it
comes the days of golden op-
portunity to the maid and days
of fear for the popular bachelor
lest some fair one pops" to
him. To the. bashful man it
brings hope, for although he
may realize the fatal wound of
Cupid's dart, he needs the en-
couragement which he will
now receive. :
Did you ever stop to think of
how this custom originated?
We can thank the practical,
frank, Scottish people for it.
During the reign of Margaret,
about the year 1928, the Scot
tish parliament passed the fol-
lowing act:
"Ordonit that during We
reign Of her maist blossi: Ma
iestie, lika maiden ladee, of
bath high and low estait, shall
hae liberty to speak to- ye man
she likes; if he refuses to take
her TO be his wifi, he shall be
mulct in in the sum of an hun
dirty ,punds or less, as, his es-
tate may be, except and always
if he can make it appear that
he is betroth to anither woman
then he shall be Free -.
This act has now become
thoroughly established as q
custom although it no longer
exists as law. Today every
fourth year is observed by prac
/ tically all nations. either in jest
or in fact, as the time wher
the maid can speak for her
