 For several years before the law was passed the people along the trail and in town advocated such a requirement. and almost everybody was delighted when the act was put on the statute books.

HOW LONG TO SLEEP
az n. ApoINcToN BRUCE,
Author OF The Riddle OF Personality.
Psychology and Parenthood. etc.

~Will you please explain" a correspondent
asks. why some people get along very well
with only four or five ho-rs sleep night. while
the great majority seem to require double that
amount, Are the short sleepers physiological
freaks. are the rest OF rs sleeping longer
Until quite recently it would have been diff
cult to answer these questions with assurance
But now. thanks 10 some Illuminating scientific
investigations of sleep Il 10 possible 10 reply 70
them definitely and positively.
Briefly stated II may be set down AZ an estao-
lished fact that everybody ought TO be able to
thrive on a nightly allowance OF five hours
sleep.
ON the other hand IL IL equally certain that
any arbitrary shortening Of the sleeping period
by those accostumed to eight or nine hours 10
not to be recommended
The shortening can be safely brought about In
only one way. This is by EDUCATING PEOPLE
TO BE MORE KEENLY INTERESTED IN THE
ACTIVITIES AND OCCUPATIONS OF THEIR
WAKING HOURS. The more varied and keen
their interest the less they will have for sleep
The fundamental purpose OF sleep. II Ii now
known IL not so much restorative as preventive.
To quote Professor Claperede. one OF the most
eminent presentday authorities on the suo!ect:
sleep is a protective function. an instinct
having for end. in striking the animal with iner-
tia to prevent il from arriving a. condition OF
exhaustion
exhausted, but so that We shall be neither
poisoned nor exhausted.
Sleep in other words. Is designed chiefly TO
AVOID THE CONSEQUENCES OF FATIGUE.
Now as everybody knows from personal e1-
perience there is nothing so fatiguing as LACK
OF INTEREST IN WHAT ONE IS DOING. Let
anything become dull monotonous, uninterest-
ing to US, and II at once fatigues US. Fatiguing
US. we instinctively take refuge from II In
sleep.
That is why infants. savages and feeble
minded persons sleep SO much more than the
average healthy civilized man. Their minds be-
ing less developed. their interests are less vari-
ed and keen, and consequently they become more
easily bored and fatigued
And II Is why the average man sleeps more
than such men as Thomas A. Edison. Rudolf vir-
chow and other habitual short sleepers, who are
not physiological freaks but simply men Ex-
CEPTIONALLY INTERESTED IN THEIR
yOCATIONS AND HOBBIES.
IL Is their keenness OF interest that has enabled
them to require a short sleep habit without in
furious effects
Any one can acquire the same fabit. provid
ed he develop equal intensity Of interest In the
everyday airs of his life
Otherwise be will do well TO stick to the
eight and ine-hour sleeping period
To try to force ones self TO sleep fewer
hours is 10 impose excessive strain on a
mind accustomed to function actively for only
a certain period every day. The shortening
process must come gradually and spontaneously,
az result OF the Increased development Of
interest.

THE BAD BOY
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1916. by Frank Crans)

There is bad boy in every commun-
| ity.
The boy in our house has just come
in with news that we have one here. We
have just moved into summer resort
and all has been idyllic till now.
We have listened to the warblings of
the real estate agent. We were intro
duced to representatives of the leading
families. Some charming ladies have
been to call on our women folks. We
have encountered the men at the club
house and been duly and Hospitality re-
freshed. We have seen groups of pretty
little girls and proper little boys run
ming upon the greensward like figures in
Corot landscape.
Enter bad boy |. u. e. Something will
now be doing.
According to our boys vivid report,
Sam Higgins, the bad boy, has already
got into the painters pots, painted map
OF North America on the church, smear
ed green all over Susie McGrue's new
pink frock, coated Eddie Wiltsey's shoes
with drab, and created lot of new
color-schemes in the painters shed.
Our boy was telling how the painter
swore, but his mother stopped him.
We feel that the bad boys career has
just begun. Before he gets through he
is going to loosen things up bit.
He will teach the well-brought-up boys
how to chew tobacco, so that mothers
will hate him as if he were Zeppelin.
| He will show them also how to smoke
corn silk or dried mullen leaves, and ex-
plain to them the manliness of splitting.
He will unfold to othem forty new
ways of annoying girls. He will teach
them lot Of new swear words, besides
many naugty things. He will be the an
swer to the question of Mortified parents:
Where in the world did our child ever
learn such awful things?'
He will be the exponent of Prussian
militarism in the playground.
He will instruct our youth how to steal
money from the purse in the bureau
drawer wherewith to buy butterscotch.
Also he will give lessons in lying, how
too escape lickings by crying fiercely be-
fore they begin, how to pilfer cookies
from the pantry and take them out to the
gang, and how to make bonfires behind
the barn and threaten the whole settle
ment with destruction.
He will make every Sunday-school
scholar want to be Teddy Roosevelt, a
Buffalo Bill, or the kaiser.
He will industriously undo all that
mamma and teacher have done for their
little darlings, and he will thoroughly en-
joy his labor of love.
He is the primeval outlaw. He is our
Ishmael, for his hand is against every
man.
He will be more talked about than any
one within radius of two miles.
The effect of it all will be heightened
by his mother, who thinks him the
brightest and incest boy in the world,
and believes he is going to be minister
when he grows up.
