YOUR DREAMS

Did you ever have a dream in which you toiled until ex-
hausted, then waken in the morning all tired out9
Rodger Dolan had such a dream last night. 1t seemed
that he was far up in Canada, in a logging crew, and that he
chopped wood hour after hour. Quitting-time finally came.
And just as Dolan was curling up In his dreamland bunk,
for a sound sleep, the alarm clock woke him up.
II wouldn' It mind it so much, - he says, "ifIh had any wood
to show for my work"
Dolan wants to know why he was as stiff and aching, when
he Weakened, as if he had really put in eight hours with
an ak.
A plausible explanation of this might be that the feel
ing of fatigue originates in the brain, where dreams are
staged, and that exhaustion is telegraphed from brain cells
to muscles and joints.
Here, again, we encounter the terrific force, Imagination,
along the Coue line of reasoning.
We recall a baseball pitcher who dreamed that he pitched
a 3O-inning game. Next day his arm was so sore and ex-
hausted that he couldn't lift it.
Obviously, since his arm had not gone through the ges-
lures of pitching during sleep, it's fatigue was imaginary. Or,
at least, it originated in imagination, then the imaginary
condition was tranlated into actual exhaustion OF bodily
cells.
Conceding all this, it will appeal to most of us a logical
proposition, to endeavor to imagine that we are healthy and
that our endocrine batteries are charged with plenty OF re-
serve energy. The rule works backward the same as for
ward.
Some psychic cults believe that, In sleep, the spirit leaves
the body and carries on a separate existence IN some other
'world,' ~ planet, dimension or earthly location, returning
to the body at the moment Of awakening.
1t would have to travel with lightning speed to get back
to the sleeper Weakened unexpectedly in the middle Of the
night.
In the last analysis, our state of mind (imagination) domi-
mates our actions. You saw this Illustrated in the World
War. People had to be worked up to warike state of mind
and bayonets.
And there cannot be real peace in Europe until the people
get into a peaceful state of mind-freed Of hatreds, rivalrles
and stubborn refusal to admit the truth.

biles were invented by Charles Al
gernon Parson, English inventor n

@. What were the principles laid
down in Henry Georges Progress
and Poverty?"-B. 3. 7.
A. The main theses are that eco
nomic progress is marked by In
creasing extremes of wealth and
poverty resulting from the tendency
of rent to absorb all value above
minimum wages and interest and
that the c~onfiscation of rent through
a single tax on land would restore
democratic equality and universal
prosperity.

@. Why are the lines on the United
States map that divide the time

Z. 2. ,
A. The Geological Survey says
that the time divisions on the maps
are made at different railroad diVi-
sion points. Theoretically, they
should be made on certain time
meridians, but for practical purposes
this cannot be done, as these rail-
road division points are not usually
on the desired meridians.

H BOOZE" E

When the captains Of foreign owned vessels entering the port
of New York find it necessary to complain to the authorities about
the large number or "rum' ships lying off Sandy Hook without
lights at night thereby causing a meanace to shipping, it is evident
that our prohibition enforcement is farce, a disgrace to the coun-
try and a reflection on those whose duty it is to see that the law is
obeyed.
These captains of foreign vessels are not particularly interest
ed In American affairs. Their complaints cannot be brushed aside
as propaganda on the part of the antiprohibition forces. They are
interested IN the safety Of their vessels. When the whiskey runners
off the coast become so numerous that incoming vessels find it
difficult to get through them without a collision; when the towns
along the Jersey shore are literally swamped with cases Of booze
that are landed almost nightly, the righteousness of our present
prohibition enforcement is apparent.
All this cannot be going on without the knowledge Of the Of
ficials. While it is difficult to get proof against them, the public,
realizing what is going on, do not hesitate to give credence to the
stories that are circulated about the way the law is ignored. No
matter what one feelings may be regarding the advantage of pro-
hibition. the present state of affairs are so disgusting and repul
sive to l~aw-abiding citizens that even those who are dry" in
sentiment have come to realize that there is something worse than
the use Of alcoholic beverages, especially those of the lighter
variety.
II is quite apparent that those who want booze are going to get
II under existing conditions, and it is because conditions are as
thew r that it is the hard stuff, and therefore the most harmful,
that is most generally used. If the government is not going to
sion the smuggling and end the manufacturing of "moonshine"

II might better hberalize the present enforcement act. When all
,ssnect for the law is gone and it's enforcement becomes a by-word
ana 4 Joke. it is time for good citizens to take notice.
With a "rum' fleet off the coast SO thick that it is a menace

drtv II Is to stop this smuggling, are connving with the boot

We would be terribly unhappy If

Retail prices OF tooi last Deem
Der is were So per cent higher than
in 1913, in Indianapolis. In Rich

Bureau of Labor Statistics.
There Is quite a spread between
those figures.
It emphasizes how unevenly the
back-to-normal movement is pro-
crossing in different parts of the
country. The same is true with
classes, fthe farmer being the worst
sufferer from defiation.
In time, however, a general bal
ance will be re-established. Prices,
like water, ultimately seek a COM

Prohibitive
Turkish harems are rapidly be-
coming fewer, says Bessie Beatty of
McCalIs magazine. The economic
conditions brought about by the
Balkan wars, world war and the
present war with Greece, have made
the upkeep of expensive establish
mentS prohibitive. Harems are
being reduced in size to meet the
ever-diminishing incomes, and many
men cannot afford to maintain them
at ALL"
High price is the greatest prohibi-
ton agent. It's just a question of
time until high price Of hooch will
stop most of the drinking. 1t isn't
the original cost of a thirst, it's the
upkeep.
-Four friends go on q drunk in an
eastern city. A shot is heard in
their apartment. Police break in.
One man is found dead.
Such cases used 10 be common,
when saloons were running wide
open. Now they are occasional, and
gradually growing fewer. Many
claim that prohibition is a complete
failure. Deep in their hearts they
know they + deceiving themselves.
Most of us will live to see prohibi-
ton a real success, though not a
pleasant outlook for some.
G.. L. Hyder, a transfer agent of
the penitentiary at Huntsville, Tex,
attracts much attention on an east
ern trip. He is nearly seven feet five
inches tall.
A great many understood people
would trade skeletons with him.
Some time in the future, probably in
another twenty-five years, scientists
will regulate human height by arti-
icially stimulating the pituitary
gland at the base of the brain. It
regulates our growth.
