insufficient sleep causes impairment
OF memory, according to recent re-
searches ON the subject of sleep by
Professors Engelen, Frerichs and Wey-
gandt of Berlin, Germany. The mem
DRY becomes unreliable even II the
shortage of sleep has occurred for only
q short time. Eight hours Is the aver
age needed for sleep, but brain work
ers sometimes require more. A re-
duced period of slumber may be part
ly made up for by increased intensity,
short period of deep. undisturbed
sleep having the same effect as a
longer and lighter one
The investigators also conclude that
brain workers need a month of rest
every year and that even longer yaca-
lions do not cause lessening of ac-
quired abilities, but rather an inten-
sification of them.--Kansas City Star.

Contrasts TtOo Popular
Symbols of America

"There are two popular symbols OF
America" writes Ralph Barton Perry
In the Century discussing the cult of
'Americanism" and comparing the vir-
tue OF Columbia with the humaneness
Of Uncle Sam.
Zone Is Columbia enthroned, or the
statue Of liberty enlightening the
world. America, 30 symbolized, 10 a
modern replica of Juno, whose chief
concern 1t was to look after other peo-
pies morals. Juno was the Olympian
prude, model matron and self-ap-
pointed censor. Her modern replica
stands at the portal of America and
faces east, holding torch for the
edification Of foreigners. The statue
Of liberty is, like Juno, essentially
statuesque. She is the frozen perfect
one. 1t is absolutely incompatible with
her posture and she should do any
thing but hold the torch and wear a
fixed expression Of consummate virtue.
1t is true that she was made in France,
but we have adopted her and her Gre
alton argues Gallo insight into the
moral psychology Of America.
1T Is TO our credit, however, that we
have felt the need Of another symbol.
While the statue OF liberty embodies
eur conscious rectitude and inspires
eur laudatory and exemplary national
ism, Uncle Sam, thank God is not a
statue. He is so constituted that he
could not by any strength of the mag
nation occupy a pedestal. He could
not hold the pose without feeling
ridiculous. He Is hearty and fraternal,
impulsive and generous and above all,
unselfconscious. He has a kind Of In
stinctive wisdom by which he antici-
pates and disarms the laughter Of the
world by laughing promptly at himself.
It Is Uncle Sam who feeds the hungry
tramp at the back door, while the
statue of liberty reads him lecture
from the porch. 1t was Uncle Sam
who went to France in 1917 and to
Russia in 1919, while the statue Of
liberty remained at home--on its
pedestal"

While tin has been In use for a
great many centuries, yet ancient yes
sells of tin are so rarely found by
archaeologists as to be well-nigh UNI
known. This is not due to the fact
that tin rusts, for the metal does not
combine chemically with the oxygen of
the air or that Of water, but to the
circumstance that sort of decay does
attack 1t, producing change in It's
crystalline structure the nature of
which does not seem to be clearly UNI
derstood. This ends In reducing the
tin to fine gray powder. The process
proceeds much more rapidly at certain
times than 1t does at others and
seems to be transmitted from one piece
of tin to another, almost like an In
fictitious disease.

Probably Would

When a man gives a motor cop a
tale of woe, the cop merely says:
"TelI it to the judge"
But when a pretty girl gives the cop
a dazzling smile, he doesn't advise her
to try that on the judge.
He knows 1t would probably work.
