NO CLOCK NEEDED
Tie Young Man Was Kept Awake
Because Ie Had
Mono.

''You may think" said the young
man with the horn-rimmed specta-
cles, that the purpose of an alarm
clock is to wake one up. But I've
discovered that an alarm clock Is used
to enable one to Sleep"
81 don't see how you mako that
out" returned his companion. 81
know I use mino to wake me up"
That's what / thought until this
week." said the bespectacled youth.
but now I know different. 1t was
this way: A week or so ago my
alarm clock was knocked off the bu-
reau. and as no self-respecting clock
can be expected to stand that sort Of
treatment, 1t refused to work any
longer. Oh. well. thought to my
self. can get up without an alarm.
MY getting up time is 7:15. The
first morning without the alarm 1
woke up at o'clock. 1 looked at
my watch and then turned over for
another snooze. But the thought
suddenly occurred to me that I might
oversleep. So 1 lay there tossing
about until it was time to get up.
1.-THE second morning 1t was 5:15
when first opened my eyes. I tried
to go to sleep again. but every five
minutes or so 1 would wake up with
start and look at my watch, fearing
1 had slept too long.
This went on for almost a week,
and every morning I would wake up
a little earlier. So yesterday. in des-
peration. bought new alarm clock.
I'll have to live on beans till next pay
day. but it's worth IT. Last night !
had my first good nights rest since
my old alarm clock was broken.
"You see. when you have an alarm
clock. you go to sleep with the knowl-
edge that you viii be awakened al
tho proper time. Without one you
go TO sleep with the thought that you
must be careful not TO oversleep. with
the result that you can't get a good
nights rest. That's why say that an
alarm clocks best function Is to In
duce sleep"

ARE OPPOSED TO 1T
The American Bankers Association
Goes on Record Regarding
Valuation.

The American Bankers Association
held its annual convention at San
Francisco a few days ago and our own
Walter Head was elected one of its
chief officers. In its deliberations it
passed the following pertinent resolu-
ton:
I'VE are strongly opposed to the
principle of American valuation as
contained in the present tariff bill.
because Of the radical changes OF ad-
ministration required. as we'll as the
additional uncertainty which it injects
into business"
Word continues to come from
Washington that a majority OF the
Senate Finance committee Is commit
ted to American valuation. The strong
declaration of perhaps the most in
fluential of the country's business or
ganizations, added to the protests aris-
ing elsewhere. should contribute to a
change OF mind. A political and eco
nomic mistake greater than that
which was made when the Payne
tariff bill was passed is threatened.
The American valuation principle
does not endure examination. 1t will
introduce further uncertainty into
business. No importer who orders
! goods abroad will know what duties
he must pay when the goods arrive.
Inasmuch as orders are given six
months OF more ahead and 1t takes
varying times to transport to our
ports. the confusion will almost throt-
tie trade. Manufacturers who import
raw materials will not be able to tell
what their completed articles will
cost, and thus the export trade. on
which so much empIoyment depends.
will be struck down.
And there is a further uncertainty.
The necessity OF making the new ad
valorem duties correspond to the new
valuation basis is recognized. Every
schedule must be gone over to ascer-
tain what decreases are needed. This
can't be done in a few weeks. Ameri-
can price includes foreign cost,
freight charges that differ greatly and
different degrees OF profit. How can
any committee allow for all these
factors In one enactment7 Duties As
they are now represent a century OF
experience. The old system cannot
be safely ripped up and new one
substituted at one stroke.
The American valuation idea makes
a superficial appeal because OF the
uncertainties OF the foreign exchange
a market. But exchange variations
can be guarded against by a business
concern buying time exchange wher
ordering goods. But even were there
not this way to avoid business gamb.

WHY HE is TIRED
The Business Man OF the Present
and What He Is
Against

It used to be that the tired business
man was really a heroic figure in our
national life. but now he seems to be
qualifying as court jester.
For the trouble with the tired busi-
ness man. is that, instead of taking a
rest. he proceeds to do all the things
he can think OF that are calculated
to make other folks weary. At the
present time many Of them have taken
a stand against bobbed hair. There
was a time when the tired business
man rushed into the papers to notify
the public he would not and could not
employ young men who smoked Gig
arottes. A little later he struggled
futilely to keep the feminine skirt
from climbing up toward the knee. He
lost that battle only to insist that the
women he hired wear waists that came
up to the chin.
Young men now smoke cigarettes
ad lib and the tired business man bor-
rows matches from them in order to
light his own coffin nail. Skirts are
as short as the women want to wear
them. while waists are transparent
and are doing their best to meet the
skirt half way. The tired business
man is out of the picture entirely. The
best he can do is watch the picture as
It passes by.
