louncement of the mayor that permits for the sale of certain
varieties Of fireworks will be issued at the mayors office begin

1t is a pity that this ruling by the mayor cannot be enforced.

THE REFEREE
(By Albert Applet

Sleep
The natural hours for you to sleep
are from nine at night to five in the
morning, uE. Sri Ram writes in the
Indiana Medical Record. He claims
that an hours sleep before midnight
is worth two after. Two hours be-
fore and four hours after midnight
are the most valuable for sleep, be-
cause in these hours physical vigor
Is at its lowest ebb.
The average person needs eight
hours sleep a night, some require
more.
Aged people, asked how they lived
so long, usually give all kinds of
queer reasons. If truth were known,
most of them survive many years
because they wen to bed with the
chickens and got up with the sun.
Bed
Do you know how to sleep scien-
tihcally? DIR. Sri Ram says If you
curl up, the raised position of your
knees causes the heart a great
amount of extra work and is apt to
produce sleeplessness.
Best to use a low pillow, for a
high one strains the muscles of the
neck and makes breathing imper-
feet.
He considers it healthier to sleep
naked. Also claims that sleep is
sounder and more refreshing if you
lie with your head toward the
north in the direction of the mag
retic currents of the earth" DR..
Sri Ram recommends a short air
bath in front of an open window,
for insomnia. No charge for the
prescription.
Basic
When newspapers print editorials
about sleep, food, general health and
| so on, maybe you wonder what such
| abstract subjects have to do with to-
| days news. The answer is that
these subjects are ALWAYS news,
because they r the fundamentals
of life. Most of the worlds prob
lens (Which create today's news)
are matters of health and spiritual
daze. A full stomach, a good diges-
ton and plenty of refreshing sleep
! will take the sting out of almost any
kind of trouble maker. Murder often
is a matter of blood pressure.
Failed
Nearly 1900 American business
| organizations failed last month. This
broke all records for May, except
the year 1922. When the creditors
get a settlement with the May fall
ures, they'll average about SO cents
on the dollar. Combined losses Eek
cess of liabilities over assets) were
less than 16 million dollars, or only
Is cents for every man, woman and
child in the country. So don't lose
any sleep about high commercial
mortalities during May.
Prices
Wholesale prices of the Sc leading
commodities dropped in May, re-
ports Dun's Review. Not much-only
three-fourths of 1 per cent-but it's
a good sign, for it shows that the
leaders are putting on the brakes.
Prices have been rising too fast for
safety. Only the fool tries to
squeeze the golden eggs out Of the
goose.
Fashionable
Mabel Russell, former actress, be-
comes a member of the British
| House of Commons. Describing her
first appearance in parliament, the
reporter says: "She wore a blue cape
over q moraine frock with plain
white Peter Pan collar"
Wouldn't it be rich IL u he-poli-
ticians we're described similarly.
F~0r'instance: Congressman Putty,
as he spoke, wore a new suit of store

being urged by others.
1t is evident that il duly authoriz-
ed executive officers of all of these
great commercial and industrial and
farm organizations got together and
voted upon the great questions of the
day, decided what they wanted, and
then demanded it of Congress, they
would constitute a real super-govern-
ment. Congress could hardly refuse
anything they all demanded, for they
represent among them a very large
part of all the property in the United
States, and property is what runs
this great republic.
Step Toward Concerted Action
This luncheon club is no such ef-
~fectiye organization as that, but il
may fairly be regarded as a step in
that direction. 1t is composed, not
of executive officers, but of Wash
ington agents, who have only the
power to act on instructions from
headquarters. 1t takes no votes,
passes no resolutions. But 1t does
discuss all of the great questions of
the day. 1t enables each man to
see the other mans point-of-view,
and so discovers to all the possibili-
ties of compromise and agreement.
Furthermore, this organization
calls before it the principal officers
of the Government, and gets their
views, and gives them an opportunity
to get the views of the various or
CARNATIONS represented.
Cabinet officers, Senators, Repre-
sentatives, Department heads, Ad-
mirals of the Navy and Generals of
the Army, commercial attaches of
foreign legations have all addressed
this luncheon club on important
topics. And after they have deliver
ed their remarks, these gentlemen
are subjected to close questioning.
No reporters are present. Every ses-
sion is an executive session. 1t is
said that each man who speaks be-
fore the club is presented with a list
of its members, and is informed that
IL he wants any information concern
ing any particular interest, the
Washington representatives of that
interest is at his service.
I'VE are liaison officers between
industry and government" one of
the members explained. He might
have added that each of these liaison
officers has a club in his hand, that
club being the amount of political
influence which his organization is
capable of exerting.
This luncheon club began with a
few men representing large COM
mercial and manufacturing interests,
1t is still confined largely to such
interests. But its membership
achieved one significant extension

of several farm organizations were

What is the best season Of the Year, Summer, to most
people-though the other seasons, especially spring, have
their charms. And the older you get, the more you will like
summer, the more you will dread winter.
For summer, with its luxurious growth as shown IN the
accompanying pen-picture by Artist Satterfeld, is symbolic
of life at its best.
Spring corresponds to our ~babyhood. 1t is the sprouting
season, full of hope, dreams, uncertainty, danger of frost.
Autumn is like the waning years OF life, when we har-
vest as we have sown, when we suffer for our negligence and
mistakes and are rewarded for our effort. Most of us, when
we look backward in the autumn of life, say: eff I only had
my life to live over again -
Winter, of course, corresponds to human death, the
alternating of old growth until new growth is ready to sprout
and bud.
All three of these seasons are preparatory to or the after
math of summer. And summer is the period of LIFE-of ac-
complishment-symbolc of the lives we are living. Lucky are
YOU who have survived the frosts of =life's springtime. Your
crop of success is started. Toll and weed, for autumn of life
will be upon you before you are aware. For results, it's now
or never.
