HAT AND THE HABITATloH
Architect Shows How the One Has
Always Borne Strong Relation
to the Other.

A wellknown architect has pointed
out that the form OF the hat bears a
certain relation to buildings of a prim-
tive nature-huts. He has invited at
tention to the curious resemblance
that has existed, and that is still to be
found in many countries between
h%eadgear and h~abitations or other
buildings. 1t may be that the same
taste, or the lack of it, has given rise
to the similarity of style, or in the be-
ginning the designer of the hat may
have taken the hut as a model.
In the Hawaiian islands, long before
the inhabitants took the trouble to
clothe themselves, they built grass
houses, and at the present time the
characteristic Hawaiian hat is remark
ably like the hut.
The turbans of the dignitaries of the
Eastern church are still of the shape
of those worn by the high priests
among the Jews of olden times, and
they are extraordinarily like the char
acteristic domes that surmount
mosques. Again, it is pointed out, the
high-pointed spires of Gothic churches
were contemporaneous with the high
horn-like headdress known as the hem
min.
1t is believed, too, that like results,
may be found after a comparison of
other styles of architecture with the
headgear of the period wherein they
f1ourished.

Hunting Echoes With an Arc Light

Locating echoes by light beams,
with subsequent correction OF bad
acoustics. has been developed into an
exact science by experimenters in the
University of Illinois. Beams from an
arc light are directed from the stage
to all parts of an auditorium and the
DETECTION of light from walls and pill
lars is noted. Results are checked up
by observing the sound of the Kissing
travelling in the same course as the
light.
Experience has shown just what
conditions produce the most trouble
some echoes and with the information
given by the light beams the condi-
lions are readily improved by hang
ing curtains at troublesome points.-

On Tuesday, at the noon hour,
Alfred. in company with number
of his school companions, were going
to their homes from school and
when they reached the George street
crossing of the Northern Pacific
Railway the noon freight was
switching around, According to
the eye witnesses, Alfred caught on
to moving freight car and rode a
distance when the train stopped.
He got down then and stood around
for little while out when the train
started up again and got under a
six or seven mile an hour Roadway,
he attempted to catch on again.
Somehow he missed his hold on the
rod and fell under and car ran
over his right foot.

SLEEP AND SLEEPNESSMESS
What SIumher Does and How Insomnia
Should BesTrsatsd.

What SIumher Does and How Insomnia
Should Bs'Trsatsd.
In his book on "Sleep and Sleepless-
ness II. Arlington Bruce gives the
new theory Of sleep as follows: 1T is
now known that sleep, contrary to the
belief formerly so widely entertained,
is no mere passive, negative state, the
product of toxic or other harmful ele-
ments, but is an active, positive func-
ton, a protective instinct OF gradual
evolution and dependent for its opera
ton partly on the will and partly On
the environment.
1T is the result of a certain reaction
between the central nervous system
and the stimuli impinging on it, its OBJ
iect being not so much the recupera-
ton of the organism from the effects
Of the activities of the intervening pc
Rod of waking life as to save the or
ganism from the destructive conSe-
quences of uninterrupted activity"
He thinks that most people sleep
longer than is really necessary. Men
of intense mental or physical activity
for instance, Napoleon, Frederick the
Great. Schiller. Humboldt, Mirabeau.
the English surgeon John Hunter and
Thomas A. EdiSon-get along very well
with four or five hours of sleep. Yet
he does not advise people to reduce
their accustomed hours Of sleep sud
denly, as that might have disastrous
effects.
Mr.. Bruce in discussing disorders of
sleep, such as Nightmares and the night
terriers of children, expresses the be-
lief that the proper treatment is not so
much along medicinal or dietetic lines
as by psychological means.
To similar causes most insomnia Is
attributed. Worry IL likely to form the
starting point for An insomnia habit.
The remedy therefore 10 to be found
not in drugs, but in psychology. Mr..
Bruce believes that nearly all insomnia
is cNrable,

Street Foreman Joe Arseneau
and crew Of men began
work last Friday morning pre-
pairing the grounds south OF
Raarup's store for free NUM-
cipal skating rink for the child
rem Of Washburn. By the latter
part of the week the grounds
had been made level and en-
bankments made sufficient to
hold the water that 1T will take
to flood the rink.
The free rink is located in an
ideal location and is close enough
to main street to permit it's
supervision by city officials. 1t
is the plan to have the rink
flooded just as soon as freezing
weather comes and it will only
take a few days then to place
the rink in fine shape for use
by the children OF the city.
The business men Of the city
showed q fine spirit in sub
scribing the money with which
to erect this rink and keep it
going. The rink will provide a
safe place where the children of
the city can enjoy the healthful
sport of skating.
