The probability that we get snatches
OF sleep at odd moments when we
suppose ourselves to have remained
continuously awake is supported by
the phenomena of dreams. Mark

Of ghosts as due to dreams during

DOWN, SAYS MRS. ROBINS
Mrs. Raymond Robins, president
Of the National Woman's Trade Union
league, at the monthly meeting of the
local body talked about good and bad
points of the state free job Offices.
She said she was surprised at how
many calls are posted on the black
boards in the Illinois free employ
ment agencies for stenographers and
typists to work for wages of $3.50 a
week.
However" said Mrs. Robins, 1--WE
must not let the idea get abroad that
the state offices are only for the low
paid and the down-and-outs. That
would be a mistake. .-.-.

''The little cash that a man out of
