DOES YOUR CHILD GET
ENOUGH SLEEP ?

At the beginning of the school
year, one of the most important
habits to be established" says al
bulletin from the Bureau Of Child
Hygiene of the State Department of
Health, al is that of an early bed
time with plenty of sleep for grow
ing children. People who are
thoughtful in every other way about
the health of their children are care
lessly indulgent when it comes to the
question Of sleep. Parents in one of
the large cities in the West have
set an example to fathers and
mothers elsewhere by signing a new
sort of pledge-one in which they
promise to do all within their power
to see that their growing children
get the requisite hours of sleep that
are necessary for healthy develop
ment The pledge is issued in con-
nection with the work of one Of the
Parent Teacher Associations and its
object it to raise the standards OF
health and school efficiency in thu
city. The action was based on the
realization, first, that there can be
no real and permanent health with
out sufficient sleep, and second, that
the responsibility for getting the
necessary rest for the children, falls
upon the parents. They therefore
resolve and agree to make every
reasonable effort to have their child
rem, under twelve years old, in bed
not later than half past eight, and
those from twelve to fifteen, in bed
not later than nine o'clock for five
nights of the week during the school
year.
In connection with this plan it
is interesting to note that the
minimum sleep requirements agreed
upon by medical authorities for
children of various ages, are as
follows:-
Under years, IL hours every
night; 81 years, IL to IL hours;
S-11 years, 10 to IL hours: 1915
years, 10. hours.
There should always be plenty
of fresh air in the room and If pos
sible the child should sleep alone"

WOMAN TELLS OF
DAUGHERTY DEALS
Ex-Wife of Attorney Gener-
ais Friend a Witness

Washington.-The senate investiga-
ton of Attorney General Daugherty
began under stormy and spectacular
conditions The Brookhart committee
listened to a story by Miss Roxy Stin-
son of Columbus, O., the divorced wife
of the late Jesse Smith, Attorney Gem
eral Daughterty's intimate friend.
Among the most sensational fea-
lures of Miss Stinson's testimony
were:
That Jesse Smith told her in dis
cussion at Atlantic City that I'VE, Z
meaning, she insists, Smith, Daugh-
erty and perhaps others, were in
volved in a deal to sell rights to ex-
hibit Dempsey Carpenter fight pic
lures, which Smith expected to yield
profit of S1SO,OO0. The transporta-
ton of fight pictures in interstate COM
merce is forbidden by law. That once
when she urged Smith to stop specu-
lating because he was losing money,
| he told her that he had just deposited
$4,000 of Eastern money" in the
bank of Nal Daugherty, brother of
the attorney general, in Washington
Courthouse, o., to protect his
(Smith's) losses.
Miss Stinson said that Smith was
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 when
he came to Washington with Mr..
Daugherty and $25OO0O two years
later when he killed himself.
It was asserted by Miss Stinson that
Smiths will left her $4,000. while 1t
provided $4,000 for Nal Daugherty, a
brother of the attorney general, now
a banker at Washington Courthouse.
Or and ,i25.000 for Harry M. Daugh-
erty. Each also received fifth in

PROBE TURNS TO
RUM SMUGGLING
Senate Hears That Mexican
Border .SIeuths Winked
at Violations.

Washington Federal agents were
ordered not to pay any attention to
cases involving liquor law violations
along the Mexican border, p. G. Bald
win, Texas ranger, former depart
ment of Justice agent, told the senate
committee, investigating Atty. Gen.
Daugherty
Baldwin, who said his transfer from
the border was ordered because he
was too active in stopping smuggling
of arms into Mexico" declared federal
prohibition enforcement along the
Mexican boundary is such joke that
he actually caught dry agent return
ing still to a bootlegger. He arrest
ed the agent, he said, but though two
grand juries have considered the mat
ter no indictments have ever been re-
turned
The Texas ranger said Daugherty's
brother-in-law, a United States mar
shall, was consulted in this matter by
the federal district attorney.
Baldwin's testimony followed long
and rather fruitless attempt by the
committee to get F. G. Quimby, a New
York moving picture man, to say that
Jesse Smith, Daugherty's intimate, had
obtained protection" at Washington
for persons interested in transporting
and showing the Dempsey-C Carpenter
light films in violation of the law.
All Quimby would say was that Jap
Muma, an employee of E. B. McIain's
Cincinnati Enquirer; Bill Orr, Ike Mar
tin, Tex Richard and himself had an
agreement whereby the films were to
be made and shown under an arrange
ment which Quimby testified Muma
outlined to him. Despite repeated eff
forts the committee was unable to get
Quimby to say he had been told that
Jesse Smith had arranged the matter
in Washington.
Paul Rowland, Daugherty's counsel,
brought out that the plan agreed on
did not prevent Quimby being arrested
and fined, though Quimby also stated
that after he paid his fine he went on
showing the pictures and made $4,000
in New York on them. In other cities
the same procedure was followed.
Quimby said.
