Sleep is far from motionless

Sleep is far from motionless.
The average healthy adult during deep
sleep makes some noticeable change
In position on an average of once every
seven or eight minutes, 1t is shown by
experiments made at the Mellon Insti-
tute for Industrial Research.
The observations carried on by DR.
H. M. johnson show that every sleeper
has repertoire of approximately q
dozen different sleeping positions. On a
typical night he will use nearly all of
them, changing from one to another
from 20 to so times, according to vari-
Gus sensations and body irritations.
The brain is sufficiently alert to guard
the sleeper's comfort, but at the same
time the momentary discomforts are
kept out Of consciousness. T. r. H.

Signs Are Appearing on
Business Horizon

Washington, Sept. 10.-H0-Encour-
aging signs, in the expressed opinion
of Silas Strawn, president of the
United States Chamber Of Commerce,
are appearing on the business hori-
ION,
He expressed this belief Wednesday
night in q radio address in which he
said that more faith and fewer nos
trums" was the need of the day.
Let us quit talking about our troub-
les and regard the present as an op-
portunity to demonstrate our capacity
for accomplishment" he told his
radio listeners. 1.-The whole world
looks to America for leadership. Let
us justify their expectations.
Il cannot predict what shall evolve
out of our present economic condi-
tions, but when we look backward and
see that In the past we have always
come out of depressions and gone to
greater prosperity, I am confident
that we shall repeat our past expert
ence. When that recovery will come,
no one will have the hardwood. def
nitely to forecast. Certain it Is that
1t can only be brought about by CO.
operating individual effort and not by
government action.
Meanwhile, let US be courageous
and optimistic. Let us have an abid-
ing confidence in the fundamental
soundness of American institutions
Ia the enduring principles Of gov
eminent. Let us have faith In oul
financial institutions and in the
securities and utilities and let us be
patient and frugal"
