he has good laugh every time he hears the

was that of the average man. The photograph
on this page shows the famous inventor catching
of his cat-naps while on camping trip
with Firestone and the late President Harding.
There are indications that the average person
is not getting enough sleep to fill natures re-
quircmcnts. This is evidenced by the need Of
alarm clocks to get many people started on the
getting caught up on sleep on Sunday mornings.
Many changes unknown to the individual take
place during sleep. When noisy taxcab

With each question about sleep the expert
mentersshave answered. the answer has raised
dozen new questions which are important and
which can be answered in turn only by more ex-
periments. 1t was discovered. for instance. that
during the first two hours Of sleep there are some
intense body rebuilding activities taking place.
What these are is not known and moreover,
this is question to be answered by the chemist
Chemists working in the United States Public
Health Service and at the University of Chicago
have not found what this chemical rebuilding IS.
Perhaps when they do discover it we will Be

on national scale would be to replace all such
beds since poorly rested person is weak

1t was found that the old belief that sleep is
deepest the first few hours is true 1t does not
matter whether the first two or three hours come
before midnight or after midnight More noise

hours of his sleep. If he is awakened it is harder
for him to keep awake There is intense bodily

Gus tests appears more marked after the first two
or three hours sleep than during the following
six hours.
TT is probably fortunate that we cannot do
away with the first two hours sleep. Other
wise some people trying to cheat nature might
do as the lrishman who enlisted in the army and
found that his blanket was so short that when it
covered his feet it did not reach to his chin So
he cut six inches from the bottom of his blanket
and sewcd it to the top.
1t was found that if you cut down on sleep
you will probably have to pay price for it. After

One can sleep through the night without awak-
ening once, and still have very poor rest. Mea-
surements are being made which show this con-
clusively. The experimental sleepers are con-
nected electrically with an adjoining room through
sensitive apparatus developed by Samuel Bene-
dict and Otto Yer Hof in the Colgate labora-
tory. Every tension in the sleeper's body is
rcgistered-even changes in his muscular ten
sions which are not visible to the naked eye.
1t was found that merely walking past the

to tense although he shows no signs Of Weakening.

Sleep overtakes an individual at the
close of his days work. and after about
eight hours it relaxes its hold. Beyond
this the average person and most scientists
know little. Scientific workers who have
devoted their time to intensive studies of
sleep number scarcely dozen since the
beginning of the scientific era; while in
contrast there are at the present moment
more than 100 scientists working on how

cal procedures.

Beginning three years ago. volunteer
subjects slept in quarters that the fraternity

vestigation has grown and expanded from
that beginning. until next year an entire
lO-room house will be used for the sleep
laboratory.
Since the field has been practically
untouched it has been necessary to de-
wise and construct much apparatus for
studying what goes on in people while
they sleep. and how sleep can be made

PLEDGES DALEY AID
Friedrich Praises Leader of
Indiana Democrats.

Frank @. Daley, Democratic
nominee for Governor, plunged into
another strenuous week of cam
paigning today bearing the warm in
dorsement of his chief opponent for
the governorship nomination in the
primary, John E. Frederick, Kokomo
manufacturer.
Frederick, speaking before the
Democratic State central committee
Saturday, predicted Daley would
carry Howard County along with
the State, while r. Earl Peters,
State chairman, recounted favorable
reports on the Indiana campaign for
Alfred E. Smith, presidential candi-
date.
Daley, at mass meeting in Ko-
komo Saturday night, renewed his
appeal for Republicans to join with
Democrats in redeeming Indiana
politically.

er a combination of all four.
Such a beauty is Marjorie Null
hall, who poses for many of my
pictures. She is about five feet,
seven inches tall, has dark brown
hair and eyes that are very beau
tiful in expression.
Her skin is rich in coloring, with
that sun-kissed hue so many girls
try to attain by exposing them
selves to the elements.
Naturally this type will use only
an ochre powder for daytime. In
the evening, the ochre powder
should carry a tinge of rose in
its foundation to best bring out
the beauty of her skin under cleo
trio lights.
If any rouge is used, 1t should be
more or less of an orange-tinted
one, especially for evening.
Frequently, this type can renounce
rouge entirely and make up her lips
alluring but quietly in its stead.
With an oval face and beauti-
fully shaped ears like Miss Null
halls, the Madonna" type of CIR
looks best with slight "sideburns,
the hair drawn back to reveal the
ears, and caught in graceful knot
at the nape of the neck.

1.-THE last week in August q busi-

I went to Lafayette and ran into
a State convention Of the American

vent.ons, but it is my conviction
that this convention outconven-
toned anything ever staged by the
Elks, Shriners, Moose, K. of c.,
knights Templar, Odd Fellows or

ing mass of legionnaires, all set
for lovely session.

that the boys were having a bic

worlds greatest trader in grain de-

E. Smith is Kidding his nearest

and the Voistead Act.

cerely IS opposed to prohibition, nor
would his proposals., as outlined in
his campaign speech at Milwaukee
Saturday be of any benefit to the
individual who looks for a return

beverages. -."
No Hope in Proposals
In a lengthy statement Patten
emphasized that to those who are
opposed in principle to the Eigh-
tenth amendment and who regard
it as dest1 uctive to the proper re-
lation between the Federal Gov
eminent and the citizen, there is no
hope for relief in Governor Smiths
proposals.
"Of course, there are those who
get emotional satisfaction out of
any wet promise" the statement
continued
~ 1.-THE intelligent opponent" Pat
ten declared, searches for a stlg-
gestion that the Eighteenth amend
ment be repealed. He wonders why
Smith does not urge repeal. He
has read Governor Smiths induct-
ment OF the abuses and evils caused
by the amendment. If this indict-
n!ent be true, why not repeal the
amendment But this Governor
Smith does not even suggest. One
is forced to conclude then that
r Governor Smith recognizes the
futility of such course.
In revic, wing the recommendations
made by Governor Smith, Patten
said: HE proposes AN amendment
to the Eighteenth amendment which
will give to each individual State
itself, only after approval by a
referendum popular vote OF its
people, the right, wholly within its
borders to import, manufacture. and
sell alcoholic beverages. the sale to
be made by the State itself and not
for consumption in any public place.
System Proved Failure
"But the inquiring man then
says: Suppose this Smith suggestion
we're adopted? What would be the
4 result?
, Each individual State that so de-
sires is to be set up in the liquor
business. The Canadian system is
held up as our standard. Yet in the
country where it is used that sys-
tenn is condemned as productive of
graft and corruption. The wet who
knows the history Of his own coun-
try recalls a still more striking
standard of comparison. He remem-
bers the South Carolina experiment.
He recalls how that State after
