Was Edison Right

There is a familiar tradition that
Thomas Edison for years had only four
hours Of sleep each day. Thirty years
ago Edison did assert In an interview
that four or five hours of sleep would
be enough for any one in good health.
He believed that more sleep than that
was unnecessary and positively tnjuri-
Gus. He had tried this idea out among
his employees and he had found 1t gen.
orally successful. Discount this about
85 per cent for natural desire of en-
ployes to please the boss.
A New Jersey correspondent asks me
why l insist that most persons require
not less than eight hours sleep. He
and his wife were so much impressed
by Edison's argument that they both
tried it out. some 25 years ago. At
first they didn't like it SO well, but
after month or so they got used to 1t
as Edison had told them, and ever since
they have averaged only four or five
hours sleep daily. Both are well and
feel rather better than they did when
they wasted or 10 hours in bed.
Now at the age Of 81 my New Jersey
friend likes to lie in bed as long as he
can sleep, but he still regards the eight
hour rule as a superstition to which we
doctors cling for no particular reason.
Now that you put it in that way, I
dunno. Always heretofore I have as
sumed that We had plenty of scientific
evidence to support the dictum that a
man must have eight hours sleep. But
when I begin scrambling around TO find
the evidence it isn't to be found. Maybe

That tickled Cocky's vanity, for he
is very proud of his ability to run. He

his long tail until 1t pointed almost
straight up, raised the feathers OF his
crest 80 that he looked much as a

To you or me he would hardly have
been handsome; he would have been
odd But Mrs. Cocky thought him the
handsomest bird in all the Great World.
His crest was blush black and rather
glossy. Back of each eye was spot

and blue. His coat was a mixture OF
brown and gray with streaks Of bronze
and green that Shone in the sun. On
the under side for nearly half its length
from the tip were big white spots. His
feet were large for his size. His throat
and under parts were whitish. If we
couldn't have agreed with Mrs. Cocky
that he was really handsome, We would
have had to agree that there was no
other bird like him.
Presently he lowered his crest so that
his head was smooth, dropped his tail
and was quite a different appearing

Your Baby and Mine
Center of Stage.


All children are exhibitionists. If all
the world Is q stage, then certainly the
children demand the center Of 1t
they can't get it one way. they angle
for 1t another. If being good doesn't
bring them sufficient return In atten-
ton from their elders, then they will
be as bad as they can be, thus winning
horror, indignation and helplessness as
applause for themselves.
We are all aware, too, that children
harbor real feelings of jealousy, and
their constant reaction to that horrid
emotion Is to be very, very naughty.
This Is confusing to any parent and
leads her to believe that the child is
mean and stubborn and disobedient,
rather than that his actions are merely
headlights which illumine his uneasy
spirit, his feeling of being less beloved,
less secure in the family affection than
some other member Of the family.
The grandson of Mrs. l. s. is a pretty
typical example of child who Is find
ing 1t necessary to cut capers to gain
notice. He needs less attention to his
bad behavior and more affection at all
times to rid him of any need for mis-
behaving in order to be noticed.
The grandmother, Mrs. I. S., writes:
Can you help us with any suggestion
in handling a boy Of six years? He
shouts and gives vent to ear piercing
screams in and out Of the house. He
slaps and punches his playmates and
annoyS his sister by pushing objects at
them. He slams dishes, crumples the
these things regardless of every sort
Of training, reasoning, gifts, surprises
and lastly. punishment He has had
tonsils and adenoids out, and Is
bright and imaginative child"
There Is no doubt that all these ac-
tons are annoying to those around him
and they are inevitably noticed and
| commented upon. I should ignore them.
Let him scream, act as If nothing at
all Is happening. He'll find his scream
ing no longer pleasing and will stop 1t
himself To check on this, write down
on a piece of paper every time he
screams and also check against it your
own reaction. Note how this evidence
OF desire to be noticed grows less and
less If you conscientiously refuse to no
tice it. He'll probably come right up
to you and scream at you, but be deaf
to it, 1t will work.
When he misbehaves at the table
send him away, without any comment
! other than that he is old enough to
eat tidily and that he can come back
when he is willing to observe correct
table manners. Do not hold UP his
sisters as examples. and give him plenty
of wholesome attention. BY attention
I mean not just affection, but inter-
est in what he does. a recognition of
him as a nice individual, not a terri
bly, bad child. We have leaflets on
How to Handle the Child Wisely" and
on Obedience and Discipline" which
I think will help you, too. Will you
send me a self addressed and stamped
envelope so can send them to you?

pers go unnoticed and he has a Sc

ANTS AND THEIR cows.


A NTS, as you know. are great
~ believers in providing for the
~ rainy day. Besides being mush-
room growers and rice planters,
they are very successful dairy
men. The aphids, which we know
as plant lice, are raised in great num-
beers and herded as carefully as our
experts do their valuable cattle. Ex-
perienced dairymen are always on the
outlook for the aphid eggs, in order
to increase their herds. The eggs will
be carefully removed from plant stems,
taken to the nursery and placed among
the tiny eggs of the ants. There they
will receive the most tender care from
the little ant nurses, whose duty it is
to look after the ant babies.
When the warm Summer days come,
the herders drive their cattle to pasture
and bring them home at night. II the
weather Is bad, the caretakers 90 out
and bring In fresh leaves for their
cattle. The aphid cows are considered
q great asset by the entire ant colony
and are treated with marked considera-
ton.
Where there Is large ant commun-
Ivy, Vic SJdUlcS are lOCdUeQ some OlS-
lance from the housing quarters. In
order to avoid long march for the
dairymaids and herders as we'll as their
cows, the stable will be located near
the pasture and often the entire road
way will be under cover
The pasture is usually young, tender
stems, with plenty of sap. The cows
have a beaklike, suction mouth; they
pierce the stem and suck up the sap.
The sap then undergoes a change be-
fore the ants receive it as milk.
The dairymaids know by the rounded
appearance of the aphid's abdomen that
1t Is milking time. She will go up to
her COW and stroke 1t and pretty soon
tiny drop will appear on its abdomen.
This she laps Off quickly and waits
patiently for another. There are sew
eral minutes between drops. If they
seem too slow in coming, the little
dairymaid will stroke the COW with

O. the Desert and Chaparral Cock as
well as Road Runner. Chaparral Is
the name given to the tangled masses
of thorny shrubs and plants growing
there.
Cocky is naturally shy, yet at times
he can be quite bold, as when he came
out into the road to race with the
horse Farmer Browns Boy was riding.
He did that simply because he dearly
loves a race and because he is self
sufficient There wasn't single doubt
in that crested head of his that he
could beat that horse and slip aside
and vanish when he pleased. And he
had done just this, as you know. Per-
haps, too he had wanted to show off
a bit before Mrs. Cocky, who was
watching him from the shelter OF a
patch of chaparral. He had joined her
when he had disappeared from the
sight of Farmer Browns Boy.
