From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 Hindenburg seems to be an ordinary bristly brute of the acceptable Prussian type He is a lighter. man who wasted Germans without comphnction, "a heayy Teuton to whom the matter of Fritz or Heinrich as regards life or death was inconsiderable. Fritz and Heinrich. also Otto and Hermann, mattered almost nothing at all The Prussian war ma chine was everything. By the same token Hindenburg does~not seem to have beon addicted to the habit of killing babies. In his heavy, Prussian way, this gross fighting man saw no advantage in fright fitness He did not see how 1t coud win the war. If he had thought that killing babies in Russia and Poland and Wal laehia and France and Belgium would have brought victory to the Prussian eagle he would, undoubtedly, have been the most famous Of baby killers.
 Hmdenburg had more sense than-Fir- pitz Hindenburg sought to win the war by fighting and beating his enemies; T.r. pitz thought he could win by merely soaring the foes of Gott und Kaiser. Tho fundamental theory of Tirpitz was to slaughter the innocents to prove Ger many's right to- rule.
 Today the worlds police have no war rant for Hindenburg. He was 2 bristly. ugly customer. but no more cruel than a wolf. He tried to kill his enemies, for that was his business, and he made hun dreds of thousands of German orphans, but that was part of his days work. He fought according to the inhuman laws of war. and was Snas 5 marSHfer.

Cut Over Lands for
 Returning Soldiers

@ ECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR g FRANKLIN K LANES plan for utilizing the cut-over lands for retusiling soldiers desirous of acquir- ing small farms at low cost and on /easy terms should receive early con- sideration of Congress.
 When MT. Lane brought the mat ter to the attention of the President and Congress some months ago and asked for an appropriation sufficient to pay for a preliminary survey of available lands, bill for the purpose specified was promptly passed. The information needed was obtained, and when Congress meets the interior de- partment will be prepared to present a measure authorizing the govern ment to purchase large tracts of cut over land in various sections of the country, divide these tracts into forty acre farms and sell these farms for hcnley on long term payments.
 When MT. Lane first submitted his plans it was thought that our sol diers in Europe would be kept there at least year after the peace treaty was signed. He asserted that even If the boys lover there" would not be back in America before the middle of 1920, it was none too soon to get ready to make provision for them. But the war department is now ar ranging to bring the majority of them home during the next few months. And it is quite possible that all the soldiers will have returned before Christmas of 1919.
 In view of the present purpose of the department it behooves Congress to act on the scut-over land proposi- tion with the least possible delay.

America Will Not
 Forget the Past

1.-THE former crown prince said le-
 N gently to correspondent, "Greet America for me-" and ex- pressed the wish that we would not forget that America and Germany had once been friends.
 Here we have another example of the curious mental processes of a Prussian, who evidently feels, along with the majority of the German peo- pie, that now that the war is over and Germany is beaten, the van quished are entitled to the kind treat ment usually accorded a chivalrous and knightly foe.
 The Germans have lesson to learn iii that particular from the unspsak- able Turk. In spite of his propensity to butcher Armenians and other peo- ples, the. conduct of the Turk as a soldier in this war has won the ad- miraton of lis enemies. It is said "

Simmons. an Evangelical League
star, is showing some speed. He is
lined up with the Senatorial team and
is certain to show some new figures
before the season ends.
If there is any doubt as to the pop
ularity of the bowling game, listen
to this: "At a meeting to be held at
the Fickes bowling alleys to-mor-
row evening, plans for the organiza-
tion of a new Lemoyne Duckpin
League Will be discussed. 1t is sup
posed that four-team league will be
organized, composed entirely of roll
ers from that town. All games will
be played on the Fickes alleys. and
SITS will be offered in prizes.
The annual meeting of the Harris
burg Rifle Club Is scheduled for to-
morrow night. This organization has
done wonders in increasing interest
in rifle shooting and with better IA
cilities this year, there will be some
rare sport.
The board of governors Of the Mo-

night at 109 South Second street.
Officers will be nominated for the en-

Hick-A-Thrift bowlers are cutting
some figure in the Boyd Memorial
Hall League series. They have al
ways been doing things the right way
in all sports. No slackers in that
bunch.
For regularity in the bowling
game, two players have held promi-
nence on the Boyd Memorial Hall al
leys. They are Jim Downey and Ar
thur Sliker. 1t is always a safe bet
on their averages.
Casino League stars are holding
their own. Some real thrills are fur
nished in the duckpin and tenpin
matches. The league games are espe-
cially interesting. Some new records
are about due from Bamford and the
rest of the stars.
1t is said that football was such a
Zig success last season. with odds
against the sport, that the rulemak-
ers have decided to keep the code
intact. Spectators will not have to
take another course in schooling in
order to understand the game.

Sound Science at the
Basis of Belief in
Merit of Beauty Sleep

The material basis of morals.
mind and soul exists in the cells of
the brain. which number anywhere
from 600. 100000 to 2,000,O0O,O0O,
or approximately the number of
people on earth. They vary in shape
and function, but have the same
physical needs-food and water. In
fatigue their food stores diminish
and they shrink considerably in size.
To be refreshing sleep must be
dreamless. On awakening there
should be no memory of the hours
of sleep, but only the pleasant con-
sciousness of life.
Sleep is the time for rebuilding
those cells which have been engaged
in the operations, of consciousness
and which have been worn out dur
ing the hours of activity.
Anemia of the brain is needful
for brain rest. If by overexertion
any one persists in maintaining a
literal state of "redheadedness," in
which the rest of the body cannot at
the required moment (bedtime)
drain off the superfluous blood, then
that person must dream or suffer
from insomnia, or both, and is in a
fair way toward a serious break
down.
Many conditions may induce sleep

state. Too great a strain, too little
work. cold, heat, a draughty room,
stuffY room, a cramped position,
faults in the bed, the pillow or the
bed clothes, emotion; heart disease,
high blood pressure, too much tea
or coffee-and innumerable other
causes. The commonest cause is dys-
pepsia. To go to bed with the brain
acutely interested is clearly a mis-
take.
Sleeps All the Time
The healthy newborn child, save
when taking its meals, sleeps all the
time. With increasing age the
amount required diminishes till,
when seven years old. half the day
suffices for rest and at IS only nine
hours of sleep are required. The
adult mays If he is a good Subject,
lessen. this by an hour, while old
people may be amply satisfied with
seven. six or even five hours. Med
ical opinion is agreed that no grow
ing child should have less than nine
hours sleep.
Regularity in time and duration
of sleep is essential to the growing
organism. There is sound science at
the basis of the old belief in beauty
sleep" and the value of the hour be-
LOA IL CT HiSilJ 50 spent. FROM
to 8 a. m. the vital tides are at their
ebb. 1t is well to prepare the body
for these fateful hours, and there
can be no better preparation than
the reconstruction obtained by sew
eral hours of sleep. The best time
for the ordinary man or woman to
sleep is from 10 to Z.
Best Room in the House
The bed room should he in the
sunniest and best room in the house.
1t should be rounded, with no cor
ners for holding dead air." The bed
should be in the middle of the room
and the bed clothes light and warm
in winter, but never eXerting pres
sure on the sleeper. The bed should
be aired all day and made up just
before retiring. Sleep in the most
comfortable position, avoiding all
theories against special POSITIONS

Two Good Games For
Camp Hill High School

Camp Hill Varsity and Girls
basketball teams will play a double
header on the Camp Hill floor to-
night. The boys team will meet a
bunch from the Harrisburg Y. NJ.
{. A, while the girls quintet will
oppose picked team from the Cen
trail High school.
This was an open date for both
teams and much difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting games. Both
teams next week will start on the
hardest part of the schedules. The
varsity team will meet Gettysburg
High school on the Gettysburg floor,
next Friday evening. Camp Hill will
be compelled TO display a good
caliber of ball as the battlefield boys
have not lost a single contest this
season.
Coach Dunkle put the team
through strenuous practice last
night in preparation for the contest.
The team benefited much from the
game with the Alumni team last
week, being compelled to play
against team of long experienced
men.

Central High will open her 1915
basketball season Saturday night with
Lewistown High, at Lewistown. Hard
practices are being held every Mon
day, Wednesday and Thursday in
preparation for this game, and the
game with Allentown on January IL.
Lewistown is not in the~Pennsylvania
Scholastic League, but was booked
when Lancaster withdrew from the
league.
Coach wallower is greatly pleased
with the work of his squad and has
promised to put a combination on the
floor that will make a strong bid
for the championship. He is confident
OF a victory over the Lewistown five,
despite their big rep"
Men on Team
Two letter men remain from last
year. They are Frank, center. and
Fields, guard. Coach Wallower is
building his team around these men.
Frank is playing a much better game
than last year at the pivot position.
He has improved greatly in every de-
partment His shooting of both fouls
and field goals is wonderfully inn
proved.
Fields is playing the best game of
mis- career at guard. and promises to
figure prominently in both the defen-
sive and offensive. He is faster than

last year and is shooting with great
deal more accurately. AS a guard
Fields ranks with the best in the
state.
Wolfe a Good Man
Wolfe is showing up well at the
other gusSd position. Last year he
was a substitute until near the close
of the season, when he took the place
of one of the varsity who was barred.
He played a good game last year and
under the watchful eyes of Coach
Wallower he is rapidly improving.
Goodiel is playing a good game at
his position. He is a good shot ana
a fast floor man. Wingeard is the
smallest man that ever played on a
Central team but this does not eftect
his play in the least. In spite OF
the fact that he is smaller than any
other player by several inches ana
weighs only lis pounds, he is putting
up a wonderful game at forward. he
is an accurate shot from any angie
and plays q fast floor game.
Wright, Rodgers and Herring are
the substitutes. All of these men are
playing excellent games but are ham
dicapped by their lack of experience.
However. they will all prove capable
substitutes. A captain will be elected
in the near future to take the place
of Dick Gregory, who enlisted in the
Governors Troop last year
