IF DREAMS TORMENT
By H. Addington Bruce

BY H. Arlington Bruce
! THO many sleeper nightly beset by dis
tressing dreams there is hint of prac-
tical value in a little story recently
told by General Nelson A. Miles to group
of friends in Battle Creek, Mich. AS since
! retold by one of those friends, in the maya
zine Good Health.
For many months at a time the general, in
his Indian campaigns lived almost wholly in
the open, camping wherever nightfall might
find him with his command. While enjoying
most vigorous health, he noticed that at night
his sleep was troubled with horrible and most
depressing dreams.
ION investigation he noticed that the tent
in which he slept was made practically air
tight, so careful were the soldiers in fastening
the bottom of the tent curtains to the ground
to exclude the ingress of dust, wind, rain, or
snow, all of which were frequently conspicu-
ously in evidence, 1t occurred to the general
that possibly the breathing of re-breathed air
might be the cause Of his unpleasant dreams,
and he accordingly moved his bed out under
the open sky.
"At once the character of his dreams became
as constantly agreeable as they had formerly
been unpleasant. He accordingly from that
time forward practised sleeping in the open,
without the protection Of his tent
Not everybody, to be sure, can become an
outdoor sleeper. But everybody-or almost
everybOdy-can so arrange matters as to in
sure ample fresh air in the bedroom. And
there CT be no doubt that often there is a
direct connection Of cause and effect betW cen
differentiation and the dreaming Of I'M
pleasant dreams!
1t is connection of which | have had per-
sonal experience. When, because Of storm or
for any other reason l have been obliged to
lessen unduly the ventilation of my bedroom
not only have | usually Weakened with a slight
headache, but my sleep has often been broken
by bad dreams. The coincidence is too fire.
quent to be attributed to mere chance.
Though, of course, differentiation not the
only cause of dreams that torment. Still COM
moner is oyereating of foods difficult to di-
gest. And sometimes bad dreams come as
signs of lowered physical condition due to
fatigue, infection by disease germs, selfpoison-
ing from dental assesses, etc.
Also they may have dominantly Lsychcal
causes, in nightmares which afflict the
chemically perturbed, anxious, and worried.
But again ard again tormenting dreams may
be attributed to readily remediable conditions
of posture in bed, weight of the bed coverings,
nsuftIciency of coverings, or, as in General
Miles case, insufficiency OF fresh air.
Facts which, if borne III mind and give
application would do much to reduce the no.
tOriously prevalent occurrences of such dreams.
There is a hygiene of the sleeping life just
as there is hygiene of the life Of wallefu-
ness, though myriads of people seem quite
unaware Of this.

THE UNMARRIED MOTHER
BN Dr.. Frank Crane

monument is to be unveiled at Lille, in
France, to the unmarried mother.
In all the weller of human passions, ami
NAL instincts, and moral inhibitions we may
think one thing or another and We may
blame this person or that, but the one out
standing victim against whom none Of us
should throw stone is the unmarried
mother She it is that pays the great price
She it is that has brought a new being into
the world whether the cause precedent was
willful sin blind folly or mistaken trust.
And even if are disposed to blame her
with harshness surely the child that she
has begotten deserves no punishment. He
came into this world by natures laws wheth-
er by mans or not
In Bataille's play, "The Love Child" the
unfortunate condition Of the offspring of ir-
regular union is depicted with artistic vigor
In this play we see the victim of woman's
folly and mans cruelty Sinking through life
accursed by faint for which he is in no
wise responsible and seeking in his own des-
perate way to justify his presence in world
of men,
When our laws are broken or our conyen-
tons defed our first impulse is to look for
scapegoat. We call this seeking for JUS
tice, 1t is not. In reality, it is seeking for
vengeance. Our own position has been
threatened, the social canons according to
which we live have been shaken and our laws
have been denied.
Instead Of seeking the causes Of these
things and trying to remedy them at their
source, we look about for some one whom
we can hurt.-In the case of which we are
speaking it is usually the child, which, al
though manifestly free from any guilt in the
matter, we insist upon branding with shame
The laws CT no state place the RESPONSE
bility for such misdong upon the father, al
though many laws attempt to do SO.
/ And the great mass Of people who call
themselves reputable are invariably severe
in their condemnation of the mother.
APPS nothing that can be said can
change this for it is almost impossible to
! speak word for the unmarried mother with
out seeming to encourage unlawfulness.
But the least we can do and the thing that
we all can do is to relieve the child in such
instances of any blame. He should be given
as good a chance any other human being

Fantasies
BY BERTON BRALEY

7 STILL believe in Santa Claus,
l still believe in FAIRIES;
I hold my faith in them because,
Unless illusion tarries,
There is no fun in life at all,
No use in work or strife at all,
No sense in any scheming.
There isn't any doubt of it,,
We might as we'll be out of it,
If robbed of all our dreaming.
r STILL believe pot of gold
Is at the rainbow's ending;
Which, by adventure brave and bold,
1 may in time be spending.
And though the cynics jeer at me
And all the pedants sheer at me
And all the facts confound me;
The gold is there, I'm sure of it,
And evermore the lure of it
Will bind, as it has bound me!
a H, bleak indeed is life lor those
n Who have not rosy visions;
Who live within a world of prose,
Of facts and grim precisions.
The silly dreams I've kept from youth
Are nearer to the living truth
Than all their dull-eyed care is;
I laugh, and flout their dresry laws,
[ still believe in Santa Claus,
l still believe in fairies!

~ ascension among the Allied premers
gathered at London to seek ~ay
out of Europe's deepening economic
murk, is like the whip of an east wind added
to sleety clouds Great Britain, France
Italy and Belgium are represented at this
since Versailles. If all four agreed and CO.
operated, still the problems of readjustment
and reconstruction would be highly formid-
able; but if they disagree and antagonize.
= what hope remains?
The present crux, it seems, comes from
French nsistence upon seizure of the Ruhr
district, and British objection thereto. Mill
tary occupation of that rich field of mineral
treasure is Poincares price for asserting to
the proposed moratorium for Germany. But
Bonar Law answers that British public opin-
ion, supported by sound business counsel, is
opposed to measures OF force against the
German republic, facing. as it does, the Il o.
fold peril of bankr Iptcy and monarchist
plots. That republican Germany cannot
meet the PREPARATION bills now due, appears
to be the consensus of judgment, even in
France; hence the suggestion of a respite
80 avert crash today and 20 prepare for
payment tomorrow. 1t is upon this basic plan
snat programs for meeting the present crisis
'aave been designed. But if france cannot
be satisfied by gu grantees other than invas-
ION and seizure of the Ruhr terri tory then
well, it looks danger usly like the deluge.
Just what course ey -nts would take or W
DON the catastrophe would come, is not
practicable nor of prime Importance But,
surely, sufficient unto the day would the evil
be, with France and Britain at cross r
poses, with Central Europe in turmoil, with
Soviet Russia full strategems, with an en-
boldened Turkey waiting to make the most
of Allied dissension, and with the present
leadership of America gazing dreamily on
The disquieting developments Of the last W
months of no sudden approach They
have been long in ALTERING; they are the in
evitable result of world conditions; they will
not discloud until those conditions are funda-
mentally changed.

RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION NOW
IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK WITH

~ I'D you ever consider the chief reason
| why so many people are hard to talk
with?
The reason is this: In so-called inter-
change Of ideas, one person out of three is
far more intent on what he is going to say
than on listening to what is being said to
him. He may be silent while you are talk
ing. But all the time, you can see by his
wandering eye and moving lips that his mind
is on his next words. And the moment he
begins to speak, you realize he has not heard
a twentieth part of what you have been tell
ing him.
There are a lot of people who have made
up their minds about most things social,
moral, political. Their ears do not open
easily to facts that disturb their settled no.
tions.
Discussion for them is merely the pleas
ure OF hearing themselves repeat, when 1t
comes their turn, phrases they habitually
use to escape the wear and tear of exercising
their thoughts in new directions. Their
brains never open new roads to traffic.
This habit of converse is not confined to
individuals. 1t gets hold on nations.
1t is perfectly possible for example, for
self-sufficing nation to arrive at a state
where so per cent of it's diplomatic inter-
change with other nations consists of COM
placent reteration of high principles upon
which it prides itself-leaving only 10 per
cent of its outward attention for actual, con-
Clcle happenings, changes, mOmonLOuS de-
velopments and crises, which, if it gave it's
full thought to them, might suggest new du-
ties as well as new advantage or profit.
In its present attitude toward Europe, the
United States is much in the position of an
individual who, recently startled half out Of
his preconceived notions of what he owes to
others, is now settling back into his chair,
summoning the good old phrases and when
ever it is something thai urges him into I'M
accustomed paths of thought and action, only
pretending to hear.
Some OF our own statesmen have told
that as people we are not internationally
minded.
What that means is that, as nation, we
are exactly like the man with whom We indi-
Vldually lind it impossible to reason because
ne never listens to anything that gets in the
way OF what he has so often said"-and is
going to say again.
In private conversation we shun him In
international conversation we take him for
model.
Isn't that the truth of it?

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BV Irwin Cobb

Two sympathetic friends called at q house
of mourning in the Bronx. Mrs. Leyinsky
wife of the wealthy whitegoCds importer
had passed away, following upon her return
from a Southern trip.
The callers were shown into the parlor
where the bereft husband alongside the
casket They advanced and looked upon
the face of the deceased
Don't she look wonderful" said one OF
them.
The widower raised his he d.
"Why shouldn't she look wonderful" he
asked Didn't she spend the whole winter
at Palm Beach,"
There were two brothers; tru, full
brother and a brother who was the most in
corrigible and persistent liar in the county.
AS result of the latters chronic embellish-
ments of facts the whole family was getting
a bad reputation.
The truthful brother took him in hand.
Look here, Bill" he said, you're dis
grazing the name. This thing has got to stop.
The next time you start in to exaggerate
just keep your eye on me. When you begin
to go too far I'll give you a hard look and
thatll be a signal to you to begin soft
pedaling.''
The very next day the two brothers were
citizens. The talk drifted to the subject of
big city hotels. This was cue for the liar
"Speakin' of hotels,'' he said, / know a
hotel out in Californy that is twenty-five
stories high, has a thousand rooms in it,
eight dinng-rooms, fourteen bowling alleys
twenty-five swimming pools, thirty soda
water fountains, forty-eight billiard halls
and" here he caught hard look from the
good brother land is three feet and half
