sions on important matters are not
as accurate as they were. Finally
he finds that he cannot get to sleep.
His mind keeps racing along until
all his thoughts are jumbled and he
cannot make head or tail out of
what he is thinking. Insomnia takes
its hold and sleep only comes after
restless tossing for hours unless he
takes bromide or some other seda-
tive.
Only a superman can stand this
restless and driving race. The tired
body and brain cannot go on this
way forever. Cobwebs, little threads
of invisible thoughts, spin in the
mans head until everything is topsy
turvy and then-the final breakdown.
Can such condition be remedied?
Can the mind be brought to peace
and it's former restfulness? Can the
body be built up until it is again
healthy and strong? Yes. Doctors
can't do it; medicines can't do it;
but complete mental and physical
rest, far away from ones usual en-
vironment can. Asking the family
doctor in time might have saved a
lot of this trouble, but now the worn
out body needs plenty of relaxation
and the mind must be freed from
it's entangled by plenty, of sleep.
The restless body, whether playing
golf or fishing, soon loses it's little
trembles. The mind begins to I'M
tangle its skeins and the man, when
he gets to bed at a reasonable hour
a night, finds that he is so whole
somely exhausted from buffeting the
glowing winds and breathing the
fresh, wholesome air, that he falls
into dreamless sleep and wakes up
in the morning feeling refreshed and
ready for another days round of
pleasure. Soon he is thinking
straight again; the wrinkles of care
have left his brow and finally the
upward turn to his lips indicate the
smile which has been missing for so
many weeks or months.
Air and sunshine are given to us
to take as we will. They will sweep
the cobwebs out of the brain when
no medicine can.

Men and women are living at such
fast pace nowadays that it is a
wonder that any of them can main
tain a normal mentality and do the
following days work in any common
sense sort of way. Men who are
active in various business enter
prises find themselves mentally and
physically exhausted and fail to get
the family doctors periodic exami-
nation and so unfortunately they do
not recognize the true state of affairs
until they blow up and land in a
sanitarium for a rest cure, or in an
insane asylum.
A few generations ago our good
old mothers and fathers were con-
tent to live a quiet life. Dad went
to work, came home at night, put
on his carpet slippers, smoked his
pipe and read the paper while moth
er rocked to and fro, content with
her knitting or darning. Sometimes
the neighbors dropped in for friendly
gossip. Ten o'clock was bed time.
Today Dad rushes off to business,
snatches a hasty, indigestible lunch,
gets home just in time for dinner
and then has to go out in the even
ing. He finds himself tired, but
everybody else is doing it and why
shouldn't he? Moreover, he has al
ways been strong and his Sunday of
playing golf gives him a false sense
of security. However, at the end of
the winter he REALIZES that he is NOV
ing more slowly, that his memory
plays tricks on him, that his deci-

and chewing of tobacco and references
to booze tests among the habitues of
the office, for in some way these
things picture the fixed idea of what
modern newspaper Office is like.
Now the facts, If looked into, would
seldom, if ever, bear out this idea. A
newspaper office is neither more dis
orderly nor more profane than other
business offices. but 1t would be hard
to make the general public believe so.
/ noticed a statement in one Of our
local papers the other evening to the
effect that one of our fresh young citi.
zens had been vigorously slapped In
the face, as he deserved to be, for
making advances to a young woman
with whom he had no acquaintance,
and who was acting in one of our To-
cal theaters. The fixed idea is pretty
prevalent that all actresses, being of
easy virtue, court attention from
strangers and welcome invitations
from anybody who Is willing to spend
money on them. A good many young
men have been slapped in the face for
enormously assuming such a point of
view. 1t is long exploded idea In
the minds of those who know anything
about the matter that chorus girls and
actresses are less moral. less bal
anced. and less regular in their lives
and habits than other professional
women.

ties equipped for research in aero
nautical engineering have been select
ed by the Aeronautical Chamber Of
Commerce to test commercial air
planes in accordance with new code
of procedure on standard performance.
The new code, drawn up by a COM
mittee of the Aeronautical Chamber of
Commerce, headed by Prof. Alexander
Klemin of New York university, Is ex-
pected to provide manufacturers with
standard basis upon which to COM
pute the speed, rate of climb, ceiling,

data which characterize the capabili-
ties Of their planes.
Z Since there is no standard procedure
now allowed by the manufacturer in
computing these data, experts say that
there is wide range of inaccuracies
in the results obtained and advertised.
New York university, University of
Michigan, Purdue university. Stanford
university, University of Washington,
and the California Institute of Tech
nology are the six outstanding engi-
neering institutions selected to carry
on the standard tests. officials of the
six universities have accepted the des-
