Solved Grave Problem.
Hampton and Tuskegee have made
their way into the educational his
tory not only of the South but of the
entire OHlleu oldltS' Sdiu Sultl
tice Taft. "They have won this un-
usual recognition by the way in
which they are handling the great
est problem in the history of this
country-that of helping to adjust
a huge group of 100000 people of
a race come from slavery to useful
and successful life in community
of 100000, 600 white people.
The Civil War had thrown upon
the. Government of the United States
tho great task of taking care of
great number of refugee slaves. The
Government looked for a man who
would help in caring for the educa-
ton of great number of these refu-
gees. and they found. to their great
good fortune and to, that of the
United States and the world, Gen.
Samuel Chapman Armstrong. who
took ever this great burden and met
the necessity.
Armstrong; one commanding idea
in achieving the solution Of this prob
lem was that Of furnishing the right
kind of educat tion. He realized that
in dealing with an ignorant body or
people their greatest need was that
of education, that would train them
to be self supporting and that indis-
pensa BILE moral training needed by the
people who had become the Nations
wards"

UNLIKELY
Measure Would Conflict
With State Statutes,
Says City Clerk.

Chances for the city passing a law
requiring automobile drivers to have
licenses are very slim, city officials
said Saturday.
According to City Clerk Fred Fries,
the proposed ordinance, drawn up and
presented TO the city commissios "
the Bexar county safety council re-
Gently, would conflict with state laws
governing the operation of automo-
biles.
81 doubt il the ordinance, which was
referred sto City Attorney Joseph
Ryan for an opinion, will ever come
before the commission" Mr.. Fries
said.
Twelve years ago San Antonio had
a law which required drivers to un.
dergo physical and mental tests, Fire
and Police Commissioner Phil Wright
said.
An examiner was appointed by the
city. With the passing Of various
state laws, however, this law was
knocked into cooked hat Commits
sioner Wright declared.
Local speed laws also have been
altered by the states rulings. At
one time the speed limit on city
streets was IL miles per hour. The

Sleep Less
Eat More,
Says Scientist
By Universal Service.

bN oNNNANNs
WASHINGTON, Aug. %. -
Sleep less and eat more for
good health and long life!
That is the conclusion Of
Professor F. A. Moss Of George
Washington University drawn
from his recent experiments
with eight students who went
without sleep for more than 60
hours.
The average man sleeps one
third more than is necessary,
Moss is convinced. Loss Of food
is harder on the system than
loss Of sleep, he said. He will
continue his experiments next
winter to determine the exact
amount Of sleep needed by man.
Among the facts determined by
his experiment, Moss says, are
the mind is little affected by
lack Of sleep; the body suffers
more from wakefulness as the
white corpuscIes increase rapidly
and produce intense nerve strain;
women can stand fatigue just as
well as men; older persons can
do without sleep easier, but
younger persons recuperate more
quickly.
