ed yesterday at II o'clock, noon, at the
Baptist parsonage, Rev. A. E. Gam

Our Public Schools

Perhaps most of the parents and cit
liens of Tarpon Springs are wonder
ing just how the school is progress
ing. If they are not it seems that
they should be for it is evident that
their visits to the school plant have not
been frequent enough to give them a
vast amount of information concern
ing its difficulties, it's efficiencies ami
inefficiencies. Although they have not
called in person at the school and ex-
pressed any very great interest in any
way concerning the matter we take it
for granted that they are none the less
interested for we realize that most
parents who have children in school
have their time so taken up with ther
regular routine of work that they can
not come out very often to observe its

HOW TO GO TO SLEEP

London, Jan. pa woman writer
in London paper says she has found
a cure for sleeplessness. She calls it
"Ay-zed" because it has to do with the
letters of the alphabet. The title may
puzzle Americans that are not aware
that say" is the sound Cockney gives
to the first letter of the alphabet, and
that "zed" is how the English pro-
nounce "z". Here is the scheme:
Tonight, say, you are wakeful. Re-
view your friends: how many men or
women you have known or do you
know, whose Christian name begins
with A? l prescribe Christian names,
because they are more lovable and
listable, than sunames. You will find
that it is like what we are told of
drowning-all your life will pass be-
fore you in vision till you sink bliss
fully beneath the waves of sleep be-
fore one letter is disposed of"

that, inasmuch as the supreme coun-

ton for the structure which the peace
congress will erect in the matter of a
league of nations. Yet observers
point out that this is a mere exchange
of courtesy. The plan accepted for
the Russian situation at meeting be-
tween American and allied represen-
tatives and representatives of all the
Russian governments is virtually the
same as that which the British first
proposed, while it is unoficially said
that the British plan for the creation
of a league of nations is essentially
the same as that the Americans had
worked out.
