Intensive Sleeping

There seems to be such thing as in
tensive sleeping, just as we have inten-
sive gardening and farming. 1t has
been shown experimentally that repose
is deepest during the first hour or two,
and that sleep becomes more shallow,
more superficial, thereafter; and it is
conceivable that by sleeping intensively
for two or three hours we might secure
such actual rest as we now obtain by
dissipating it over seven or eight hours.
1t would be interesting to know more
than we do about comparative sleep in
the various animals. The authorities
state that birds, despite their enormous
activities and more intense metabolism,
sleep very little The dog, which ap-
pears to sleep so much is said to be the
most wakable of animals. Man is re-
garden as the soundest sleeper and the
least wakable among all creatures. 1t
has been suggested that this sleep-re-
lation between dog and man, companions
from preglacial ages, which has been SC
conductive to their mutual preservation
is another example of life that we call

A NEEDED REFORM

MIR. Letherbury, the Representative
AVA from this District. has offered an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for a reform that is badly needed.
No one knows except those who have
business with the Courts just how much
loss is entailed on the public and how
much inconvenience is placed on the
judiciary by the present system Of con-
sidering the Clerks of the Courts as re-
wards for political service. And yet we
doubt if interest enough can be shown
to impress the members of Legislature
with its Importance There is so much
of the spirit that acts the thought that
having elected Legislature, it is up to
them to do what is needed. Theoreti-
eally this is correct, but it must be
borne in mind always that the political
Middletown transcript., 1915-01-23

boss who desires to have places for re-
warding his friends is ever on the job to
work on the members Of Assembly to
kill such measures, which by so much
restrict his stpower to hold allegiance.
Mr.. Letherbury has also introduced a
constitutional amendment providing for
the reduction of the number of regis
tration days from FIVE to three. This
should also pass, as it is directly in line
with Governor Miller's economy plat
form. It costs at least 500 for each
days sitting of the Board of Registra-
tion in each district, and the records
show that on the second and fourth days
the total average of registrations is
about 10 per district per day. These
could be just as we'll provided for on the
other three days. When it is remem-
bered that there are about $50 districts
in this county alone, the saving is seen
to be at least $1,000 to the state in
every election year. This amenpment is
open to the same objection that the first
one is, that is, it cuts down the profits
of political workers. This may be enough
to beat it, and probably will be, if the
people do not make themselves heard al
Dover or by speaking to their repre-
sentatives and Senators as they see
them. .

Remedy for Grinding Gears.
Motoring Department:

MOLOT1nS department.
 I have a - car that has been giving me trouble and considerable annoyance. It has grinding or a growing sound, this taking place at about every revolution of the wheel. l have recently put in differential bevel drive gear and drive pinion, but this has not stopped the trouble However, it stopped till the car was run about four or five miles, then came back again. Can you tell me where the trouble is and how to rem edy same? Is it in the gear or some bearing? This grinding or growing sound repeats itself at about every revolution of the wheel and is of the duration of about one-quarter of each revolution. M. B. $.
 From what you have stated it ap- pears that the differential bevel gears are not running true. This may be due to warpage of the large bevel gear and poor installation, or defec- tive bearings supporting these driv- ing mem bers. If the large bevel gear is. slightly warped and meshed too close with the small drive pinion you will experience the grinding noise at each turn. Would suggest care ing all the axle bearings. Also be on the lookout for spring axle and drive shafts

CAR DESIGNERS MUST
 PLEASE ALL CLASSES

Designers of motor cars, while they cut of the mechanical units of the chassis, have by no means ended their training there. A motor car designer in order to be highly proficient must make a deep study of the conditions under which the car that is in the making is to operate; he must place himself in the position of the city business man, the farmer, the speed bug the reckless driver, the technical ard untechnical owner.
 Besides being able to build in con- in the matter of chassis design and construction he must cooperate with the body designer not only as to style Tut as to materials. A busy city mer- chant may not drive even for a short period during a slight rain, whereas a farmer. hardened to outdoor life would not hesitate for a moment 10 venture out with the car open to the action of the clements,
 The designer then must not build to the business man alone, but must con- sider the farmer. whose car may never have the top raised and the upholstery must consider the farmer again when it. comes to speed on muddy, slippery rough country roads and not keep in mind the city man alone who must of necessity use the car for the greater part of it's life in and around the nicely paved streets of the city.

RENE THOMAS WILL
 COME BACK TO RACE

Rene Thomas. winner of the 1914 that injuries sustained in the aviation service of the French army have ex- cused him from military duty and that, accordingly, he will compete in the next Hoosier contest.
 . Though he did not specify a car, it is generally thought that he will bring over one of the cars that he raced in the last French Grand Prix. This make of machine, being the first to employ positive, instead of a spring controlled valve action, is credited with being the fastest for it's size ever produced. it's comparatively poor showing in the last Grand Prix is ac- counted for by the fact that a faulty carburetor adjustment on the morn ing of the race cut down it's speed at least ten miles an hour.
 Thomas is known throughout the world as one of the most daring avia- tors ever born. Back in the days when Hubert Latham was setting the world on fire with his sensational flights, Thomas was going him even one better. His tumbles out of the blue sky were enough to shake the hardest individual, yet he kept right on.
 Robert Laly, who rode with Thomas in the last Hoosier contest, will not be with him this year, having been captured by the Germans shortly af ter the outset of the war, and rele- gated to a concentration camp far from the line of battle It is thought Thomas will attempt to pick up an American mechanician, as he is suf- ficiently skilled in automobile me- chanics to need no assistance save to keep him posted as to his position when driving.
