SLEEPING FOR A LIVING
Performance That Gained a Man
Enough to Keep Him a Year

From the London Chronicle.
To sleep for ones living may appeal to
some as a more attractive alternative
than to work for ones living. But tho
feat has been achieved.
r In the Daily Courant of August O. ILL.,
the following advertisement appeared:
Nicholas Hart, who slept last year IN
st. Bartholomew hospital, intends to
sleep this year at the Cock and Bottle III
Little Britain" Some further particulars
of the professional somnolist are to be
found in the Spectator for october OF
that year.
1T appears that Hart was every year
seized with a periodical fit OF sleeping.
which began on August and ended on
the IL Its various stages are thus de-
scribed "On the first of that month he
grew dull: on the third, appeared drowsy;
on the third, fell a yawning; on the
fourth, began to nod; on the fifth, dropped
asleep; on the sixth, was heard to snore;
on the seventh, turned himself In his
bed; on the eighth. recovered his former
posture: ON the ninth, fell a-stretcning;
on the tenth, about midnight, awakened;
on the eleventh, in the morning. calledfor

it is asserted. gained for Hart enough
to support himself for a twelve month

! Some Swiss doctors maintain that the
amount of sleep should be regulated by
altitude. Too much sleep, they say is as
harmful as too much food or drink. In
low-lying districts seven hours slunber
may be enjoyed with impunity. but up In
the mountains five hours is quite enough.
These sleep specialists also ban the

crossings speed is impossible and instanta-
eons stops are possible in case of danger.
The laws also contemplate drivers throw
ing their right hand out as a signal to
cars in the rear while crossing streets
and avenues as well as when stops are
contemplated. 1t Is also to be a law to
disallow cars being more than two abreast
while awaiting for blocked streets to be
freed by steam engines. As It IS now,
many cars are often abreast and traffic
congestions almost always happen In that
case.
In connection with the traffic rules
which the commissioners are expected
to approve the automobiles desire the
appointment of a board of examiners for
the city of Birmingham. All drivers, IL
is desired should be forced to appear
before that board and secure license
subsequent to a critical examination Je-
fore one is permitted TO drive an automo-
bile in Birmingham. This board will, IT
Is hoped, have the right to refuse OF
grant licenses and violations Of its orders
by drivers Will be followed by punishment
for the offense. That board will be COM
posed of expert automobile drivers OF
Birmingham. For the maintenance of
that board small fee will be charged for
the badges and licenses issued ana with
that money the board will be maintained
without cost to the city.
BY the appointment of this board the
automobilists believe that inefficient and
irresponsible drivers will be weeded out III
Birmingham. Drivers who are known
for their utter disregard for proper con-
duct down town will be handled as Is
meet with their offenses. The automobile
situation in birmingham is growing IN
importance and those with foresight see
in the coming years a serious problem,
for solution. The fast growth of automo-
bile sales here and the hundreds that
line the streets is proposition for con-
sideration.
The state law Of examination Is thor
oughly and palpably inefficient to control
the situation. 1t is safe to say that not
20 per cent of automobile drivers in Bir-
mipgham respect that regulation or care

disregard for the established laws OF a

lished order OF things.

ing will perhaps be held at the Eniver-
slty club and will be OF great impor-
tance
The automobile men interested in the
movement for bettering traffic conditions
down town have taken the matter up
Informally with Commissioner James
Weatherly He advises a better spirit de
corpe among all owners and dealers which
he says would be more effective than
laws However, he is for any movement
which will be for the general good of
Birmingham. The plan is to secure from
New York city the traffic laws OF that
metropolis and before the wood blocks
are finished, place those laws upon the
books of Birmingham. The automobile
club will undertake to drill policemen
and drivers into the correct method of
handling the traffic laws down town and
viii even go so far as to become tenn
rorary officers themselves if necessary
and stand on the street intersections
several hours each day gratis SO the
laws will be happily introduced.
The traffic laws have not been drafted
yet but roughly outlined, they include
requiring all cars to pass street intersec-
tons in high gear. which will be better
than allowing the running of so many
miles per hour. 1t is held by experts
that If cars are forced into high gear at

more correctly. In Birmingham, where
proper traffic adjustment has been de-
sired so long 1t is refreshing and not to
say encouraging to see an OFFICER as
friend Probst handle affairs so admirably.
His fellow officers no doubt accomplish
good results, but he is the man who
handles them instantly and without hes
itation. 1t was Mr.. Probst who called
Thomas p. Morris, Jr., and a well known
citizen who is interested In traffic ad-
ministration. It was Officer Probst who
stopped Ted Brownell, secretary OF the
Dealers association, and compelled him
to back around and turn the corner prop

Cther citizens have looked with favor
Upon his efficiency at that corner. OF all
street conditions that need remedying
here it is traffic. and to see one officer
who is accomplishing results is an omen
which indicates a brighter day.
Judge Lane. Chief Bodeker and Captain
Eagan, we commend to your good graces
this officer and with him we also join in
saiuting you.
May the good work thus exemplfied

OFFICER PROBST,
WE SALUTE YOU

Without entering INTO a discusslon OF
the efficiency of the police force it may
be said with abundant assurance that
there is one police officer who handles
traffic down town with remarkable effect
and efficiency. That is Officer Probst,
who is stationed during the rush hours
at Nineteenth street and Third avenue.
The excavations which are common on
the business streets has left its undeni-
able mark in that section, SO it is with
difficulty that traffic is handled properly.
However, Officer Probst Is accomplishing
fine work there. A few nights ago the
unconscious officer was subject to criti-
cal observation and for the space of 80
minutes or more he was the pivot around

trucks, buggies and other vehicles. No

current the same as in an electric power

into the main line and utilized in driving
the machinery throughout the factory.
After the engine Is installed in the

ables the tester to vary the load at will
and to put the chassis under almost any
test desired.
"The current generated In this test IS

"But the conserving of energy does not
end here. The water which is heated in
passing through the circulating system of
the engine Is piped to the washrooms for

Motor haulage service grows in es-
TEEN because It constantly reveals unex-
pected advantages" says Lee Whitehead
of the Alec truck "At It's inception 1t Is
analyzed too narrowly. How much will
be its first cost In comparison with horse
equipment? How much more quickly will
1T cover the same ground? Upon these
and other really surface questions the
motor is usually accepted or rejected.
"As matter OF fact there is no moro
uncertain value than Old Dobbin. He Is
subjected to a vast number of dangerous
diseases He must be we'll fed, carefully
groomed and cautiously driven IL the best
is to be obtained from him. On an av-
erage he is idle fully so per cent of the
working hours of the day-resting, eating
or indisposed. The more work exacted
of him the faster he depreciates.
''The reverse is triAe OF the motor. 1t

doesn't eat or depreciate when idle. Used
judiclously, It win take on enough duty
additional to that performed by its equine
predecessor to pay back to the owner the
purchase price with liberal interest added.
1.-THE element of chance Is a prime fac
tor for consideration In computing the
relative investment merits of the motor
and the horse. The one being mechanical,
its efficiency Is never completely de-
stroyed unless II be completely demol-
fshed. The other is animal, subject to all
the unforeseen ills of the iesh-a broken
leg, for instance, wipes out the invest
ment. The one is precise and dependable,
the other intermittent and uncertain.

concern which has once adopted motor
baulage going back TO horses. On the
other hand, 1t is very rarely that you f1nd

CHICAGO SHOW
ATTRACTS ATTENTION

The Forthcoming show in Chicago is at
tracing attention here and 1t is expected
that several local citizens will attend.
The show Is to contain all the exhibits
of the New York and Washington shows

Gotham exhibit. 1t is understood that
every late accomplishment in the auto
mobile world may be seen in Chicago and

The lawyer raised his eyebrows.

He went off, laughing. Fleming
took up his black cloth bag and polk

unlocked his desk, and found what
he had been looking fora box of
candy for his wife. A minute later he
was in the street. AS he moved along
with the, surge of the homeward-

into the flower stores; he wished he
had bought violets for Amy instead
of candy; he had taken her candy
last Saturday. He debated whether
he had not better get the violets, too,
but decided against them, because
Amy was stern with him when. he
was extravagant for her sake. She
never saw extravaganza in any pur-
chase he made on his own account!
So Fleming, smiling, forbore to add
a bunch of violets to his box of
candy. After all, it was his thought

The other man, his lawyer, who had

began to make the best of it.
"Of course, it's an annoyance;

Fleming knocked the ashes from
