SLEEP.

Why are so many modern children
nervous, neurotic or erotic? The an
swer, says DR. Caroline Hedger, is chat
"the child of this age doesn't get
enough normal sleep"
Radio Jazz music, movies and other
diversions keep them up late. They
upset their endocrine glandular bal
ance by eating too much candy-sIgar
upstabilizing the pancreas. And, too,
abnormal or subnormal children are
the natural product to be expected
from the unnatural life of parents and
a Jazz environment in youth.

Right now is the time to begin to look over
the voting lists in Kenosha. There are a lot
of people who want to deride and forget the
Constitution Of the United States and sub
stitute for it some Boshevik document who are
not even holders of first papers. These fellows
will walk right up to the polls and vote if some
one does not stop them. If the constitution is
to be thrown into the discard, we should at
least insist that the throwing be done by peo-
pie who have the decency to express willing
ness to be citivens.

FIRsT-R0RN.

First-born child of American par
ents is usually the poorest specimen
and the fourth or eighth child is apt
to be nearest perfection. This is claim
ed by DR.. Caroline Hedger Of Chicago,
who specialized on the subject.
This cannot be true on the law of
averages, for the very simple reason
that the. average family doesn't have
four children, let alone eight. Maybe
it's usually true Of large families
where laws of heredity have more
play than where reproduction is less
prolific. The trouble is not in order
of birth, but in training. The first-born
is apt to be Spoiled by pampering,
especially if an only child.

The labor movement of Britain is
Socialistic with considerable leaven
of Communism, but there are places
where the wives, who are voters, don't
take kindly to the exploitation of the
Bolshevik gods.
A remarkable incident took place
recently at 'Chopwell, a colliery vii
lage in the northern English county
of Durham. A miners union paraded
the streets with big new silken
banner on which were embroidered
the pictures of Keir Hardie, Karl
Marx and Lenin.
The Miners wives recognized
Hardie's picture and made no protest.
Hardie was one of themselves Briton
and worker. But when they learned
who the others were, merry row en-
sued.
They broke up the procession and
wrecked the banner with stones.
Eventually the police had to be called
to- protect the miners form their own
women-folk.

honor to the city because it indicates that Ke-

booming and when death is waiting possibly

notable to be outstanding for the things which
count when peace sreigns
The winning of this trophy means that the
American Legion has contributed to civic up

men who went away and fought to make the
world safe for democracy have been thought

shown willingness and an ability to do certain
definite things to advance their own commun-
Iity.' The post during the year has been instru-

HANDS.

Women's hands are getting larger,
a glove maker claims. He says the
average glove is a size larger than it
used to be, also cut wider. Behold here,
the workings of the law of evolution.
Human body changes through the cent
uries.
Your ancestors had lower foreheads.
Scientists say that the groove extend
ing to your nose from the middle of
your upper lip is an hereditary scar
from prehistoric forerunners, who had
split upper lips like a rodent. Few
modern men can squeeze into the armor
worn by the average warrior five cent
uries ago.

Here's the best story that has float
ed around about Frances grand old
man, Clemencaeu, for some. time. 1t
dates back before the war to the days
when Germany was powerful and
France shivered.
The Germans trod on French toes
with regard to some African prob
lem and the foreign minister who did
it was Kiderlin- Waechter. Shortly
afterwards this Prussian found him
self at the same watering place as
Clemenceau.
He was dying to meet the old man,
but every time he looked at the
Frenchman, the latter looked off into
space and whistled. Finally one day
they came face to face on narrow
bridge.
Thes German clicked his heels to-
Waechter" 1t was his way of intro
ducing himself. Clemenceau was ex-
pected to bow, name himself and then
begin conversing. Instead the old man
glanced at the other and said
"Kiderlen-W aechter? Not my name,
thank Heaven"
And passed on.

Some American, attached to our
athletic outfit in the Olympic games,
certainly put one over on the French
reporters. For one of the scribes went
back to his Office in Paris and battered
out on his typewriter the following
piece for the worderment and Joy of
his readers:
Americans eat raw fish, 1t is, they
assured me, the ideal food. In the
restaurants at Colonies, near the
Olympic games areana, one served
them fired fish-nott fried!
Each American took his fish so:
the head between the thumb and in
dex finger of his right hand; the tail
between the same fingers of his left.
"And then-rrrran-with a snap of
his teeth he detached the backbone.
And when / expressed my astonish-
ment, one of the Americans explained
it was even better in America be-
cause there they ate fish alive!"

Words that we Americans use in
ordinary life suffer strange sea-
change when we hear them used in
England. For instance, a Briton point
ed out to an American tourist friend a
young woman that he knew.
shes very homely woman" said
the Englishman.
"But | would say she is very pref
ty," protested the Yank
He didn't know that the English
mean woman who is good house
keeper, wife and mother, when they
say ''homely.
Similarly they use "nervy" in a
different manner than we. In Amer
lea it means a person who has deal
of cheek. In England it means a per-
son who is nervous.

putting things to the London public.
Frightened by the increase in can
Ger, hardening of the arteries, rheu-

the public to change it's dietary habits.
They say the good old Britain has

urged to get busy with fresh fruit,
fresh vegetables and whole wheat
bread.
And the campaign has been so sue
cessful that the bakers report an in
