sleep Standing Up.
Won go to sleepE

How do you go to sleep?
Most human beings sleep on their
sides. with the knees drawn up. and
every kind of animal has its own position
for reposc Elephants always and horses
commonly sleep standing up while birds.
with the exception of owls and the hang
ing parrots of India. sleep with their
heads turned round over the back and the
beak thrust among the feathers between
the wing and the body.
Storks. gulls and other long legged
birds sleep standing on one leg. Ducks
sleep ON open water. and to avoid drift
ing shoreward they keep padding with
one foot. thus moving in a circle.
Sloths sleep hanging by their four feet,
the head tucked between their forelegs.
Foxes and wolves sleep curled up. their
noses and the soleS of their feet close to-
gether and blanketed by their bushy tails.
Hares. snakes and fishes sleep with their
eyes wide open.
Owls, in addition to their eyelids, have
a screen that they draw sideways across
their eyes to shut out the light, for they
sleep in the daytime-Tit Bits.

RAPID DIsPENsARY GROWTH.
5000. 900 Persons Get Expert Treatment
i'm 1000 Clinics.

The great increase in the number of
throughout the country was
brought to the attention of a recent con-
yentien of the American Hospital aSso-
citation through figures in a report is
sued By the American Medical associa-
ton. In 1910 the United States CEN
sus bureau reported the existence of
only 5T4 dispensaries in the country.
In 1916 an estimate of a committee OF
the American Hospital association
placed the number at 900. while the
present survey of the American Medical
association gives definite information OF
the existence of 3,243. and estimates the
total in the country. including those
from which information has not yet been
received. to be more than 1000. 1t IS
estimated that approximately S,OOO,OOO
persons are now given medical treat
ment in the dispensarles of the United
States. of whom about 100000 are lu
this city.
The reasons for this large increase are
attributed chiefly TO the increasing pop
uIarity of the dispensary as place In
which 70 obtain satisfactory medical
service at reasonable cost. Dlspen-
saries are no longer places IN whlch
prescriptions are given out, but are IN
sfitutions in which serious medical work
i done and in which thousands of per
sons can receive the care OF skilled phy-
sicians. specialists, x-ray and laboratory
service which they cannot pay for at the
usual rates.
Dispensaries are more and more com
ing to charge fees which meet all or part
of the cost of service for those able &c
pay Hospitals have also found thai
dispensaries attached to their words
mean better service to the people of then
communities Many hospital patients
can thus be followed up during conva
lescence. Many patients ills can alst
be diagnosed and treated in the out-pa
tient clinic, with a substantial saving o.
exnensiye bed service and of loss O
working time.
Industries find that well-managed dis
pensaries prevent much serious Hines:
| and enable people TO keep at work wht
otherwise would be confined to thei
! homes or in the hospital.

BURLINGTON, Nov. 16.-That C..
Douglas Woodhouse, husband of the
woman who is suing his parents for
81 100000 for alienation of his affec-
tions. spent about S1J,103 in the -
months while he was in Washington and
that most of this amount went for costly
jeweIry. was the feature of the testimony
given by Arthur W. Hill, cashier of the
Merchants National bank of Burlington,
of which L. f. Woodhouse, one of the
defendants, is president, when the case
was resumed in Chittenden county court
here this morning. 1t had previously
been brought out in Hills testimony that
young Woodhouse's income was about
$4,000, or approximately one-third of the
amount he spent in Washington.
The reading of numerous checks drawn
by Woodhouse consumed the greater
part of the mornings session, 1t was
shown that, while WoOdhouse during his
stay in Washington in 1919-1920, kept
up his club dues in Vermont and Massa-
chusetts and paid some money TO Bur
lington merchants none was paid TO any
of the creditors here of his wife, Mrs.

Garage Purposes.
Progress on the new garage being
built by the Dewitt Grocery Co on Flat
street has advanced to such stage
that it is expected by the owners that it
will be open to the public Dee. j. The
building viii be rented TO the Dewitt
Garage Co. of which Deweese =. De
Witt is treasurer. and it viii be used
for general automobile repair work and
for the washing and storage of cars.
Arthur II. Ingram, for a long time with
the Roberts Garage, will be manager of
the garage.
The new building has frontage of so
feet on Flat street and is situated on
the south side of the street dlagonally
opposite the building now occupied by
the Dewitt Grocery Co. On one side,
the building is 10 feet long and the
other is 40, these varied lengths being
caused by the diagonal course of Whet-
stone brook at the rear oil the building.
In the northeast corner the office viii be
located. The construction of the front
wall is brick and the sides and rear
comprise blocks of tile. The roof Is
gravel A unique feature of the con
struction is that there are only two
posts used in connection with the roof
manouyering of automobiles within the
building Three large plate glass win
tlows in front with numerous windows in
the west and south walls afford excellent
lighting in the building. There are two en-
frances in the font wall and one en-
trance in the rear wall. which will elm
mate congestion and make driving in
and out of the garage more convenient.
The construction work was done by
Pellett < Skinner. The heating appara-
tus is being installed by William J. Pent-
land. and the electrical work will be done
by Horton ID. Walker.
Mr.. Dewitt told The Reformer to-
day that the new garage would have
a capacity of about 60 cars. He is plan
ming to store the seven ears and trucks
owned by the Dewitt Grocery Co. in the
garage as soon as ii is completed.
A feature of the garage viii be that it
will be equipped with a washstand both
inside and outside of the building. 1t is
/ possible that later a paint shop may be
built in one corner, but this is matter
that will work out later, Mr.. Dewitt
said A Soc0ny gasoline tank already
has been erected outside the garage near
one of the front entrances.
Mr.. Dewitt also is planning to clear
off and smooth the area between the new
garage and the Pellet & Skinner plant
/ This he intends to use for q parking
| place for automobiles. which win be de-
/ Sirable. because of its easy accessibility
| to Main street and because of its space
/ to accommodate 200 cars. This plan
when brought to fruitiOn will, in 4 con-
siderable degree. relieve the automobile
/ parking condition on Main street, partic-
ularly on Saturdays. as then out-oftown
automebilsts may park their cars on this
property for nominal charge and the
ears viii be watched by responsible em-
ployeS.
Construction ON the new garage was
started about six weeks ago.

FRANCE is MAKING DYES.
Economic Alliances Established witIi
German Societies.

Production of dyestuffs in France has
increased considerably since the close of
the European war. writes Charles Lor-
mand of Paris in the Journal of Indus
trial and Engineering Chemistry.
French importation of dyes before
the war he states. reached % per
cent of the national consumption. In
1920 the amount of imports was not
more than 60 per cent; i'm 1921 and at
the beginning of 1922 it decreased to 20
per cent In 1920 80 per cent of the
amount imported came from Germany
$4,000 out of 5000 tonsl; in 1921 the
importation was only 400 tons, coming
from Germany
This decrease of importation is due
largely to the efforts of the National
Company of Dyestuffs and Chemical
Products The rumor concerning the
union of this company with the German
companies has been and is still contra
dicted. Nevertheless. the dye company
has bought a number of patents from the
Germans
"The decline of the German mark has
made possible at the Stassfurt mines a
large expectation of their potash. and
just as the dyestuffs company has had
to form an alliance with the German So
cieties, the companies mining Alsatiau
potash have had to seek an alliance with
the German producers. Preliminary ar
rangements have been under way since
Nav. They have been difficult to bring
about, but they seem now to be nearly
completed.
''The impossibility of bringing about
payment by Germany is going TO cause
more and more French industries to seek
special alliances with industries on the
other side of the Rhine. 1t is well un-
derstood that these alliances are purely
economic and not political. and that they
leave 70 the French industry all COM
plete freedom of action.
'',Fhe syndicate of dyestuff consumers
has taken the initiative in asking for GUS
toms regulations to protect this indus
try but limiting this protection to dyes
made in France"
