Cure for Insomnia

An inventor Of Macclesfield, Eng
land, is said to have perfected ma
chine that will cure insomnia. The
is placed alongside of the bed
and emits light rays of II different
colors, flashing at prearranged periods.
The effect Of this combination of col
ors and periodicity is intended to be
soothing and to induce sleep. The
color flashes at such regular intervals
have peculiar effect upon the retina,
it Is said. The inventor maintains he
has cured several stubborn cases of
sleeplessness in ten to fifteen minutes.

flower much of the time was the real summer
White House.
When the President is in the White House at
Washington the Mayfower is in such frequent use
that 1t is quite generally known as "White House
No. 2" or the "Mayiower White House" Satur-
days are rare In any sort of decent weather when
the Mayfiower isn't flying the Presidents flag
and starting out for over-Sunday trip. roster
of the Presidents guests would be pretty COM
prehensive list of people of the hour in American
political and official life. The Mayfower has been
the setting of many important conferences of the
Coolidge administration
There Is another side to these weekend trips
the Mayfiower. The President may take his
office with him, but he does not leave his home
behind. Mrs. Coolidge goes with him always-and
seems to take equal enjoyment in the yacht and
her voyages. She usually takes along friends who
give the political conferences a wide berth. And
when President and Mrs. Coolidge go aboard they
leave behind them none of the comforts of the
Executive Mansion. When they invite guests they
are assured of their comfort. 1t would convey the
wrong impression to say that the Mayfower Is
dream of luxury. Nevertheless, her appointment
is first-class in every way. The principal rooms
the Mayflower include these reception room
dining room, library smoking room There are
bed chambers for the President and his wife
and fourteen guests.
In fact, there are all the comforts of home
transferred to different setting Musicians from
a concert often desired. The Mayfower has
powerful radio equipment-which means that the
best the studios have to offer Is at ones command
There is often a picture play at night The May
flower sees many a film before Broadway does.
Every Sunday morning Chaplain r. w. Shrum
conducts servlces-on deck If the weather is fne
in the state dining saloon If the weather is bad. So
at least once week this 1925 Mayaower is reml
niscent of the Mayfower of 1920. And In another
way too is the Mayfower Of 1925 suggestive of
the Mayfower Of 1920. You will recall that the
Pilgrims before landing drew up and signed the
"Mayhower Compact"-establishIng body polite
TO be governed by the will Of the majority. Quite
an experiment In democracy! Well In many ways
there is the same atmosphere of democracy the
Mayfower of 1925. Everybody on board takes
part In these religious services-Presldent and
guests. officers and crew. And when there is
concert or a moving picture-why. that is for "all
hands" too.
The Mayfiower is twenty-nine years old, but she
was well built in the first place has received good
and has been brought up TO date So she's
as good as she ever was-and better

the MayaOwer an appearance of grace and speed

feet long and 80 feet beam and her displacement
Is $3.50 tons. During the Harding regime the Navy
department converted her from coal-burner to
an oil-burner, gave her teak deck and made
her modern in every respect. Her valuation to-
day including appointments is about $1,500,O00.

caves the Mayfower the best 1t can supply
Ogden Goeet American millionaire yachtsman,
bought the Mayfower in 1896 upon completion at
a famous Scotch shpyard. March II. 1885, the
Navy department bought her for $4,000 from his
estate; she was needed in the Spanish-American
war and the king of the Begians was negotiating
for her. The Mayfiower's first assignment
that of despatch boat in the blockage off Cuba.
In 1900 she on duty at San Juan Porto
Rico relieving hurricane victims. In 1902 she
was, for time the flagship of Admiral George
Dewey with the North Atlantic fleet The year
1908 saw our recognition of the independence of

with a naval contingent under Rear Admiral
Coghlan.

drew up the peace terms terminating the Russo

Roosevelt In 1907 she went permanent duty
as the Presidential yacht and was especially in
evidence in 1908 when President Roosevelt re-
viewed the "Great White Fleet" upon its return
from its memorable cruise around the world
This suggests that II Is the duty of the Presi-

President and his guests comfortable. And you, as
a good American hope 1t is good-ooking enough
to be In keeping with the dignity of the office.
Well, the MayhOwer Is quite satisfactory in all
respects as the Presidential yacht She Is not only
slightly, FAST safe and commodous, but she is up
to date in all respects. And this is 1t should
be- since the commander in chief of the army and
navy of the United States of America-the richest
and most powerful nation of earth-should go In

but she is considerably more than that She is
one of the miscellaneous craft" belonging to the
United States navy She was bought in wartime
for war purposes, has done service of many kinds
and has history. She Is the Presidential yacht
because she is assigned by the Navy department
to the use of the man who occupies the PresI-
Dental Office.
1t was President Roosevelt who had the original
Inspiration and put 1t into effect with the consent
of congress. In the officers wardroom on the May
flower hang the autographed portraits of the five
Presidents who have used and enjoyed the yacht
Theodore Roosevelt. William III. Taft Woodrow
Wilson, Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge.
President Coolidge appears to have special
liking for the Mayfower President Roosevelt was
devoted to the strenuous life"; he was hunter
and explorer and In the White House was fond of
boxing and tennis. President Harding thoroughly
enjoyed golf President Coolidge apparently has a
dash of salt water In his blood. There's nothing
odd about that. It's doubtless inherited from some
0ld-time Yankee forbear of the days when all
New England was sea-going. And he need not
feel lonesome on that account The United States
