PROFESSOR HAS
ODD IDEAS UPON
WAY We SLEEP

MOUNT VERNON, Ia, Aug. 8.
U.P)-When you dream that you are
falling, you never strike bottom be-
cause your monkey ancestors, who
fell from their perches in the forest
and failed to hook their tails over
the limb of q tree during the de-
scent never lived SO that you could
remember crashing to the ground.
And if you should dream that you
suddenly awoke stark naked in front
of a roomful of people, that, too, i3
carry-over from prehistoric times
when man went about unclothed.
So believes Prof. William f.
Slaght, professor at Cornell College,
who for a quarter of a century has
studied that mystery so akin to
death-sleep." He has probed thou
sands of dreams, seeking to find
their origin, and generally is able
to trace them either to hereditary
I causes, such as the monkey falling
from the tree, or to some vivid ex-
/ perience in the past life OF the
! dreamer.
Slaght is an ardent advocate %
! tailor made beds.
Every person" he says, should
sleep in a bed built especially for
him. Some people need hard ones,
some people soft ones. You can't
jump into any old bed and sleep,
any more than you can jump into
any old suit of clothes and be COM
Portable"
And about this business of eight
hours sleep a night. There's noth-
ing to it, says Professor Slaght.
Sleep is a mental condition, and
man needs only as much as he

BIT DIFFICULT

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. Aug.
g. U.P)-NeXt time J. H. Worthing-
ton of Sheboygan, Wis, attempts
TO rescue a drowning person, he
will make some inquiries before
jumping into the water.
He was walking along a pier
when he heard a strangled cry
coming from the water. 1t was
nearly dark and he could see a head
bObbing on the waves.
Keep padding, I'll save you"
he cried as he kicked off his shoes
and removed his coat Worthing-
ton, it was said, had won medal
for saving a man III a lake near
Sheboygan.
He dived off the pier and started
swimming toward the bobbing head,
which was uttering strange noises.
Il couldn't imagine what the fell
low was about Worthington said
after he had been pulled out of the
water. He kept making strange
noises and diving, and kept out of
my reach. It was nearly dark and
l had trouble keeping him in sight,
but 1 kept plugging away, trying
to reach him
Worthington was exhausted when
some men in a small boat pulled
him aboard.
He had been trying to rescue

Illinois hens that were given q

ditiOns by paying average profits of

In cooperation with the extension

married.. The average profits of S161

est f1ocks in the group. In contrast.
the one-thfrd lowest flOcks lost money
at the rate of 50 cents a hen, while
the average for the entire group of
246 flocks was profit of GA cents
a hen.
Owners of the one-third highest
f1ocks kept up their profits in the face
of 1880 conditions by taking advan-
tage of low feed costs, getting more
eggs and increasing their efficiency
generally, 1t was explained by Fl. 81.

the college. Hens In the one-third

eggs each during the year. while those

QUIET LITTLE SPOT
in THE HIMALAYAS
Town of Cilgit Visited Only
by Those Fond Of
Climbing.

Gilgit nestles among the Pamir
mountain peaks. about $50 miles al
most due north of Srinagar, capital
of Kashmir. Within 60 miles of Gill
git are 80 peaks rising from $4,000
to 26,6OO feet above sea level.
"Until the latter part of the last
century, Gilgit was seldom visited by
westerners," recent bulletin of the
National Geographic society says.
1.-THE town was approached by al
most impossible trails, the history
of which Is replete with tales of
raids upon caravans by ruthless
mountaineers of Adventures being
buried in landslides, swept down rag
ing streams and catapulted from
crumbIing lodges into rock-strewn
valleys.
ALTHOUGH the nearest railroad to
Gilgit is 100 miles to the southeast,
the town is connected with Srinagar
by a government-owned telegraph
line. Warfare among the peoples in
the small mountain wazarats or dis
tricts was the dominant factor in
bringing Gilgit into the spotlight
among Himalayan towns British
troops, dispatched to the mountain
battlefields as peacemakers. were all
but defeated in their purpose by the
hardships to which they were put in
reaching their objective.
"In 1891 British engineers set to
work to build the Gilgit road. But
the route has never been traversed
by vehicles. With its numerous rest
houses it is an Improvement over the
old trails. but it still is a challenge
to doughty mountain climbers. A
portion of the road is blasted from
precipitous cliffs. The perpetually
snow-capped peak of Manga Parbat.
which is nearly FIVE miles high, is but
one of the many peaks that dominate
the region which the road traverses.
"Despite Gilgit's isolation, the resi-
dences of the British political agent
and other British officials. a hos
pital, school, barracks where a con-
tingent of Kashmir troops are quar-
tered, and government warehouse
lend western touch to the town.
The natives live in mud houses, usu-
ally of one story. The second stories
of the few taller houses are built of
woven twigs. When the traveller is
reminded that every article of for
eign make that enters Gilgit must be
transported over the hazardous trails
or Gilgit road, he is amazed to learn
that there are three pianos in the
town.

Well Fed Flock Will
Bring Profit tn Owner

In feeding your poultry flock that
is expected to lay eggs this fall and
winter when the price is high remem-
Der that true economy lies in pur-
suading them to eat as much as pos
sible of the right kind of food. The
more they eat the faster they will
grow and the more likely they will
be TO lay early and abundantly.
During the hot dry days of August
and early September the chicks are a
good deal like other folks and their
appetites may be a little off. then is
a good time occasionally to mix up a
moist mash, not wet and sloppy but
moist enough to make it appetizing
for them, and let them have such a
food once every day or two. 1t will
help them to eat more and will tone
up their appetites.

Destoning Land

A new means of converting fields
dotted with sandstone formations
into rich farming land has been
found by NJ. Andre Piedallu in
France. In report before the Acad-
envy of Agriculture, NJ. Piedallu out
lined a new method of blasting out
these rocky formations and by add
ing the proper fertilizers make them
productive. His system requires a
curious placing of many small blast
ing charges. which, electrically dis
charged, completely break up the OBJ
structing formation and open the
land for cultivation.
