Difference in Waking
and Sleeping Thoughts

While You are awake, you like to
feel that your thoughts are your crea-
tons. that they stand apart frori you
as objects which, 90 far as yor can
make out, anyone ought to see. Wax
ing thoughts are distractions, DR..
Jesse W. Sprovls writes, In the Wash
ibgton Star.
When you are dreaming, the situa-
ton is reversed. Your dream thoughts
are your own. They are q part OF
you. You express your personal self
In everything you dream about You
put yourself In the center Of the
dream picture, and countenance only
those thoughts that correspond to the
picture. It's impossible to think in
dreams without thinking in pictures.
And It's impossible to get away from
your image Of yourself. In dreams
your thoughts are aetivities, not ab-
straetionS
II Is not hard to discover why you
have these two kinds Of thoughts
Your waking hours deal with world
Of reality. And reality Is always the
world that lies about You Your bust
ness as a waking thinker is to manip-
ulate this world Of externality. So
you regard your waking thoughts as
mechanisms merely.
But when you are asleep, you have
withdrawn from the world Of reality.
The you" Of yourself, which had to
take a minor position In your waking
world, now has Its moments Your
fancies have full sway, and you fash
ion all sorts Of imaginary pictures
that place you In command. That's
why you sometimes experience a shock
when waking suddenly.

Here Is Either Heresy
or the Profound Truth

At the recent meeting of the Mil
honaires Club Of Contentment and
Happiness In the green verdugo hills.
one OF the neighbors quoted an old
saying which runs as follows:
There are three things that can
never he recalled-the sped arrow,
the spoken word and the lost oppor-
tunity.-
The neighbor who brought the mat
ter up expected that the meeting
would be deeply impressed and that
the saying would lead to a historic
discussion But, curiOusly enough, no
body 81 to be at all Impressed,
and the S-ussion was exceptionally
brief.
To begin with, the millionaires said,
what is one sped arrow more or less,
anyway There are plenty of arrows
In the world. or at least there used TO
be when arrows were In use. As to
the spoken word. IT is usually a thing
not worth recalling. And In regard to
lost opportunities. why, the thing Is
not to regret them, but to hustle and
find new ones.
And thus again what has been ac-
eepted as wisdom proves to be mere
waste Of breath.-JOhn Steven Ne
Groarty, In the Los Angeles TimeA

Raleigh Not lntrodueer

q famous physician, Francisco Fer

Philip ii Of Spain in 1858. was the
FIRST TO take specimens Of the plant
back to Europe. But this was several
years after the SpanIards began a.

1850 that Jean NIcot, Of nicotine fame
French ambassador TO Lisbon, found
the tobacco seed there that he sent 20

Sir John Hawkins was the first to
take tobacco to England, which. he
did In 1855. and history tells us that
