Worth Remembering.

A ear invariably will ride better
over a rough road II the engine Is
constantly pulling 1t. Most drivers
speed up and then apply the brakes
when going over the rough places.
The car always bounces more under
this plan. and. though the driver
makes time between rough spots, he
loses 1t as soon as he has to apply
his brakes. With the car running
along slow--in s"high"-the rear
wheels seem to cling to the road bet
ter. The wheels are not so free to be
juggled around by the bumps.

1 after a quick, futive look at her,
 drew down one eyelid in an unmis- takable wink at me. It was the sort of grimace in which Dicky and Alfred Durkee invariably indulge at Leila's expense and mine, but that the
 big surgeon should employ it in amusement at his stately wife as- tonished me. and at the same time so appealed to my risibes that I had
 hard work to stop the twitching of my lips by the time my sister-in-law turned her face toward us again. The little incident gave me an Illuminating sidclight upon their relations. That my sister-in-law occasionally could permit pettiness to mar the poise which in her always has seemed to reach perfection. and that the bis surgeon understood her foibles per fectly and was affectionately amused at them-these things gave zest to my interest in them. They were more nearly human than l thought. I said to myself. impishly. but the discov- cry did not bring the problem of their future contentment and happiness any nearer.
 That, l was more sure than ever, could only be solved by the presence of children in their home. But with Harriet's shrinking from the adop- tion of any child not closely associat- cd with them by kinship or friend ship, that solace for their heart hunger was put out of the question. But so strongly had their need of younger lives impressed mo that dur ing the journey to Marvin. one rare ly punctuated by speech upon the part of any one of us, I spent much of my time in wishing futilely that something would happen somewhere to give them the panaeea for unhap- piness which they so sorely needed.

FINE yAUDEymLE-LYCEUM

|. The Paramount vaudeville acts, which opened at the Lyceum this aft ernoon, proved to be high grade en- tertainment and the patrons who come the first half of the week are assured a fine program. One of the best acts on the bill is The McIntyres, Rose and Harry, heralded as Americas premier rife shots. This is not simply an act with old fashioned target shooting. but is a wonderful display of nerve and skill. Francis and Sister, a couple of pretty little girls, have good novelty sketch, featuring popular songs and a fast line of repartee and Orville, stamm and Company arc team of five wonderful athletes, one man and four girls. Their work is revela- ton. The other entertainments on the bill are of an equally high order.
 In addition to the vaudeville there is Round Four of Fighting Blood, a smashing good episode in the career of Gale Galen, ex-ehamp now working in the movies The feature picture is April Showers" drama starring Kenneth Harlan, Ruth Clifford, Colleen Moore and other screen celebrities.
 The program of vaudeville will be changed on Thursday as will the pie ture, the feature being "ouicksands !" a powerful melodrama of love and daring and sinister intrigue set in the border rendezvous of vicious dope ring. It is not one of these now com mon exposes of narcotic traffic. but is 3 thriller based on smuggling across the international border.

Insomnia.
Ky pr. (. c. Robinson

1 Insomnia is no respecter of per sons. If you persist in over-stepping the rules of health, 1t may leome your way.
 The trouble is either functional or symptomatic. It has psychologic. physiologic and pathologic conditions and changes. The tired business man or city dweller, through mental strain or overwork, is d fayorite victim. But people of the country or smaller towns are by no means immune. The poor may have their troubles, but they usually are not insomnia victims; they sleep well,
 Worry nervous troubles. indnlg- ing in improper food at the wrong time and sustained pental strain cause insomnia, in most eases Con- ditions of the body itself and en- vironments also play important parts, Do not try to go to sleep with cold feet.
 To help insomnia sufferers. l would advise light eating at night. Some- times n gla@ of warm milk or even other food may aid sleep by directing the increased flow of blood to the stomach during tho night.
 Do not resort to sedativcs. sleeping notions or hypnotic drugs to cure in. somnia. Their Hse will often work greater harm than the insomnia you seek 10 cure.

You'll telephone 10 Dicky?" l halted at the head of the apartment hall staircase down which the Braith waites already were making their way to the waiting taxi. Lillian grinned a bit maliciously at me.

 With an embarrassed flush l re- membered that l had reiterated my request three times. Because of my nervous headache of the night beforcl Dicky carefully had refrained from waking me when leaving in the morning. Lillian had told me of this, and of her own intended departure 10 the farmhouse during my hurried breakfast, and I realized that Dicky would come home to the empty apart ment with no idea where l had gone. My "ingrowing Puritan conscience" to which Dicky so often jcstingly re- fers. had been responsible for the fussiness at which Lillian was smil- ing.
