A North Dakota legislator who
seems to have been looking around
for a chance to save the taxpayers
some money, has uncovered an idea
that may offer possibilities. He has
introduced . bill aboltshing Ill vii

IN communities and districts having

the county treasurers.
All tho funds Of the subdivisions
would b placed In charge OF the
county official. and he would pay the
obligations Of the towns ana schools
upon warrants drawn BY the local
clerks or auditors.
The plan Is held to be more eco
nomical and efficient than the pres
ent system, With q score or more Of

It seems evident, from the queries
that turn UP regularly in our CORE
spondence with people In all walks
Of life and in every part OF the coun-
try, that the notion or fancy Is COM
mon that one should sleep headed
north.
For most popular beliefs or fancies
one can find some plausible reason or
explanation, plausible to a layman ig-
norant Of science. For this persist
ent idea that it is we'll to head north
when sleeping can discover not the
slightest ground. # any of our read
ers can enlighten me or suggest a
substantial theory to account for the
notion I shall be grateful. Here Is a
chance for you to get back at me.
Sleep is as deep mystery to us
today as it was to the ancient doc
tors. Every little while some half
quack scientist" usually research
laboratory" worker land as likely as
not subsidized by some big business
INTEREST," discovers and tells the world
the secret Of sleep.
OF the numerous theories that
Psychologists have conceived to &C.
count for natural sleep half a dozen
are worthy of mention. l. Sleep is
brought on by the accumulation of
acid waste products in the blood. The
main experimental evidence in sup
port of this theory is the effect pro-
duced by injecting Tactic acid or So
dunn lactate into the blood-this pro-
duces a state Of fatigue and finally
loss Of consciousness. 2. Sleep IS due
to the exhaustion of the store Of oxy-
gen available to the brain cells faster
than it can be replaced by oxygen
from the blood. This theory is prac-
tically abandoned, since precise meas
urements OF metaboliSm have shown
that the brain cells use an insignifi-
cant amount Of oxygen, when the in
dividual does concentrated brain
work" 3. Sleep is caused by re-
traction OF neurons. the terminal fila
ments of nerve fibres by which con-
tact is made with the brain CELL This
breaking of nerve connections cannot
be demonstrated by microscopic OBJ
servation Of brain tissue during ma
tural sleep, of course. 4. The great
Russian psychologist, Pawlow, pro-
posed the theory Of inhibition to &C.
count for natural sleep-only fun
damental knowledge Of physiology
can make this theory clear. 5. Some
special toxin formed during waking
hours finally accumulates in suffi-
cient quantity to produce sleep. Ex'

that have been kept awake 80 or more
hours, produces somnolence when in

IS the manner in which it has fired
the public Imagination.
In seeking q reason for this phen-
omena we need only delve into the
tricks familiar to every politician. 1t
is an old adage with those who stump
for votes to tell the people what
they already know In other words,
take no chances OF making them
; think Or OF introducing them to new
! ideas.
This theory has been pretty gen.
Ierally followed by those who have
won success In politics. In the in
dustrial centers we have seen created

fits to the working man. In the ag-
ricultural areas the cry has been
cost OF production plus a profit,
another catch-phrase, which is rath-
er difficult to reduce to concrete
terms. These and other expressions
serve real purpose in our language.
Indefinite in themselves, perhaps ev-
en- inaccurate, they convey to the
average man an idea regarding sit
uation on which he has definite
opinions.
Technocracy serves purpose,
therefore. IN giving name to a sit
uation which everyone knows and
understands. 1t had the benefit OF

Who is there who hasn't under
stood to the full the situation created
by low prices for wheat and many
people going hungry? The farmer
needing shoes but going without
them when the factories of the
country could produce more than
enough? Women wearing their clothes
to shreds when there is sufficient
manufacturing capacity to provide
every woman with q new dress every
month? We think about those things
when the word Technocracy is men,
toned.
Yet the protagonists OF the idea
admit that they are merely investi-
eating and measuring and that their
suggestions as to a cure are in the
half-baked stage. When they are
through they may be able to tell us
the facts about chronological un-
employment and maladjustment of
distribution. but that is all. We have
a pretty good idea about those things
already.

We Get a Break

After battling with the adversitie.
of attack from the outside for sew.
eral years, Bismarck got a break
Wednesday when Postmaster Gen.
eral Brown announced decision tt
designate the proposed northern
transcontinental airline from Boston
Mass, to Bismarck. N. d.
The action brings no nearer thu
westward extension Of the line which
this city 50 earnestly desires but 1,
does increase our faith that Bismarck
will be on this line OF communica-
ton when, eventually, 1t does reach
from coast to coast.
The apparent object OF the post
office department is to set up a new
cross-continent route. running par.
allel to and a few miles south Of the
Canadian border. in order to give
each great section OF the country
from north to south, the benefit OF
this service.
On this basis the so-called north
ern" route for the line in this area
is too far north. The southern
route for the northern line Is too
close to the mid-continent services.
The result is to make the route
through Bismarck the logical selec-
ton.
This development in our favor
should not lull Bismarck to sleep or
cause 1t to regard as already accom-
plished the air-extension program
adopted by the Association Of Com
merce. It should merely give Us new
energy and enthusiasm for the effort
of protecting our city's interest in this
important matter.
It is q break" to be sure, but only
that. Much water will go over the
dam before the mail planes will speed
westward from here instead Of stop
ping and when the time comes to
bring that about we must be ready
to strike in behalf OF our own inter-
ests.

and Ardeth became busy with her

One Saturday afternoon three
years ago she had driven down to

been the outstanding event Of the
day.
Ardeth had been carried away

daughter, she had delighted in the
speed and dash. She had gone
mad with the roofing section when
il spelled out "Ken" Gleason's
name. She had glowed with ex-
cited pride and had ended by max
ing Neil violently jealous.
But it had gone deeper than
hysteria with Ardeth. Something
about the young collegiate there
had been which had called to her
ardent imagination. She had
watched him, her heart swelling
with strange pride. Even now she
remembered how he flung off his
helmet and sailed into the game,
brown hair standing wildly about
his head. The action had been
somehow endearing.
The next day, she had hunted
for Z report Of the game in the
sporting section. There it was.
