THEORIES
Of Sleep Exploded By Recent
Experiments

Ann Arbor, Mich, Jan. 21.-Prof.
r. M. Wenley, OF Michigan univer-
sity, today made public the nature of
the experiments made at the univer-
sity upon patients with trephined
skulls in probing into the mysteries
o fsleep. The accepted theory OF sleep
has been lessening blood pressure in
the brain. The experiments showed
directly the opposite conditions.
BY delicate and most careful mea-
surement the following results were
secured and tabulated:
The size or volume of brain In
creases when the Individual goes to
sleep, and decreases when he awak-
ems.
On this point It was noted that
In some cases the brain became
smaller at first, and then Increased
as sleep became deeper.
Very striking was eveldence that
the size of the arterlal pulse from the
brain increased steadily with the in
crease in volume, that Is that the di-
lating of the arteries after each beat
Of the heart Is more pronounced
This is particularly true when the
subject Is propped up.
One of the delicate devices used
In experimenting records breath
inc unvaD fron, hntb a. hrai- ,,l
the hands and the feet. The fall Of
the circulation record corresponds
very closely to an inspiration and the
rise to an expiration.
The pressure of blood In the brain.
despite the large volume and heavy
pulsation during sleep, Is lower at
that time. The sleep passes off, the
brain volume increases but thel the
blood pressure increases.
These results show that whatever
sleep is caused by 1t Is not lessen
Ing of the blood supply to the brain.
for there is no such lessenlng.
1t Is suggested, as u remnant of
the old theory, that perhaps change
OF any kind In the size of the blood
vessels may bring on sleep, because
this change of size disturbs the con
Meeting of cells and fibers.
Stlll more striking are the infer
ences with regard to the condition of
blood supply. This subject is of
thrilling interest to the medical pro-
fession, for in this field lies all the
problems of paralysis, apoplexy, and
even some forms of insanity.

just forwarded their report to Wash.

such reports. The action Will be
taken under the Sherman antitrust

Conditions Much Different
Than Formerly

Washington, d. c., Jan. 21.--The
great development now going on all
over the West, opening up to settle
ment extensive areas OF fertile land
by the construction of large irriga-
zion systems, is slowly swinging the
pendulum OF population from the
city TO the farm. An interesting
feature of this shifting OF popula-
tion, and one of profound economic
importance to the country, is the
large number of city-bred people
who are seeking homes in the open
country. This is accounted for In
some degree by the fact that country
aife In the West has grown more and
more attractive as population in
creases. The farms are small, agri-
culture Is extensive, communities are
compact and neighborly, rural de-
livery is established, the country tel
ephone is in operation everywhere.
schols are centralized, and social
conditions are actually more subur-
ban that rural in character. With
eight or more farm houses located
each mile Of the highway, there is
no isolation or loneliness With cheap
wafer power from the mountain
streams, and from huge dams trolley
lines are being extended through the
valleys. All these factors are bring
ing the farmer into the stimulating
~zrrent OF the worlds daily thought
and ection and quickening his ideas
and broadening his viewpoint.
Cooperation in the farm work in
producing and marketing crops. in
social and educational activities,

Omaha, Neb.. Jan. 92.-The big
western packers are not worrying
themselves to any extent over the
anti-meat crusade which is spreading
over the country, but say that any re.
duction in the selling price of meats
will have to be borne by the farmer
and stock raisers of the country and
not by the packers themselves. In
interview here Edward A. Cudahy,
head Of the Cudahy Packing compa-
ny, said: people will have to eat less
meat If they are to get what they eat
at lower prices. Present prices are
due to the fact that the supply is not
equal to the demand"
