Movies, particularly, were found
to have decided effects on the rest
lessness Of children in their sleep
These were shown by measurements
taken with a typical group OF
children.
For ten nights the children were
kept away from the movies and
their sleep was measured. Then
their sleep was measured for the
next ten nights after they had been
permitted to see movies. The films
included comedies, detective pic
lures, dramas, and tragedies of one
type or another.
In general these investigations
showed that children do not sleep
nearly as we'll after seeing movies
as they do normally. Most of the
restlessness occurs in the first hour
after going to bed-the time when
sleep should be most quiet. A child

1t was found that children below

is because the younger children are

SACRIFICE AND sELFISHNESs

NNE Of the strangeSt marital tragedies ever
~ to come into the courts seems to have
popped to the surface at White Plains, N. Y,
where woman whose husband is suing for
annulment of their marriage has urged the
Judge to- grant the annulment so that her
husband can be free to find some other
woman.
The husband alleges that his wife was
tubercular when they were married and that
she concealed the fact from him She adj
mits that she has the disease in an incurable
form and that she probably has less than
year of life ahead of her; she says, Nobody
can do anything for me-" and she wants her
husband to get his freedom.
What a story of misery and suffering can
be read between the lines in this case! One
can not fail to admire this woman for her
self-sacriflce, her willingness to carry her
load in utter loneliness. What one may think
of the husband for being so eager to accept
her sacrifice is, perhaps. something else again.

MYSTERY OF THE AIR

ONE of the most startling bits of news of
~ the year is the assertion by an airline
official that the mysterious crash of a pas
senger plane in Indiana recently in which
seven lives were lost. was caused by bomb
which had been concealed somewhere in the
plane before the take-off
This announcement was made after por-
lions Of the wreckage had been submitted
to tests by scientists at Northwestern univer-
sity.
How the explosive could have been planted
in the plane TO begin with, is a mystery; so
great mystery. indeed. that the superin-
tendent of the last airport the liner visited
asserts fatty that no explosives conceivably
could have been smuggled into the plane at
that point.
And the question why such a frightful
thing should have been done is even more
pulling
Here is a shocking mystery which needs
most thorough and painstaking investigation.
Fortunately, federal investigators seem to be
giving it Just that.

Children's Health Depends on Sleep

THE health of your children de-
Il ponds to a great degree on
restful sleep, and plenty of it.
And restful sleep depends on what
the youngsters do and what they
eat just before retiring.
It has been reported, for exam
pie, that children sleep less soundly
after reading or listening to fairy
tales at bedtime. Some children
sleep less soundly after seeing mo-
ton pictures. Coffee, it has been
said, keeps children awake by MAX
ing them more excitable and irri-
table.
A group of Investigators, which
included psychologists from Ohio
State and other universities, studied
the sleep of ITO children during BAT
nights, by means Of an apparatus
which measures the movement in
sleeping persons. They found that
restless sleep occurs frequently just
previous to illness; that sleep is more
constant in winter than in summer;
that temperature and humidity do
not greatly influence the quietude
Of the sleep of most children.
In general, the scientists noticed,
the best part Of a child's sleep is
during the first half of the time
spent in bed. The average child
from to 10 years of age stirs or
rearranges his posture one or more
times every nine minutes in each
hour, and the average quiet period
for all children is about II minutes.
Hence children, like adults, sell

HOW THE FOREST ARMY PAYS

4 the forest camp outfit is provided by
recent bulletin from the Charles Lathrop
Pack Forestry Foundation. This bulletin as
serts that the white pine blister rust. now
spreading Thorough American forests, menaces
no less than half billion dollars worth of
timber.
To check the menace, there now are at
work some 10000 members of the civilian
conservation corps in twenty-five states and,
as the bulletin states, for the first time since
defensive battle against this insidious forest
disease was declared in 1918 there are men
and money available in a degree common

diminution of half billion dollars in
the value of its timber reserves would be
hard loss for the nation to take. If the

itself many times over.

CALIFORNIA RECONSIDERS

IT was California politicians who persuaded
congress in 1924 to write the Asiatic ex-
clusion clause into the immigration act and
thereby affront the proud peoples Of the far
east. CALIFORNIA; sober thinkers today are
backing the proposal to wipe out that affront
by placing oriental nations under the quota
law.
For some years union labor favored the
affront This month both the California
State Federation and the American Federation
of Labor conventions failed to demand reten-
ton of the exclusion clause. Labor knows
that quotas Of 1876 japanese and los Chinese
nonlaborers will not threaten American living
standards
CALIFORNIA; brain trust" knows this, too.
Statements have just been issued by the states
nine leading college presidents all urging the
quota as more in line with what President
Sprouts of the University of California calls
the recognized principles of justice and fair
dealing"
Finally, California business men are speak
ing up in the interest of peaceful relations and
better commercial dealings in the Pacific. The
California State Chamber of Commerce and
the Los Angeles and San Francisco Foreign
Trade Clubs have joined the growing chorus
demanding the quota way.
The issue, Caifornans are coming to see,
is not that of adequate control of oriental
immigration. Letting in small handful of
nonlaboring Asiatics under nominal quotas is
more effective control, indeed, than the pres
ent roundabout and offensive method.

FAIR OR FASCIST?

IF there is truth IN the report that the fed
l. eral government is preparing to crack down
hard on strikers whose cause is labeled 'un-
justified" by federal Investigators, the admins
tration would seem to have bitten of a mouth
full which will take a great deal of very
energetic chewing.
In any other country on earth. such a step
would be taken as prims facie evidence of
swing to the extreme right-toward Fascisrn
to be blunt.
The one thing that would prevent Ameri-
cans from looking at it in that light would
be the reputation for fairness and liberalism
which the Roosevelt administration has built
up thus far.
For the implications of the program are
clear. Labor is warned not to strike with
out governmental permission. The last-resort
weapon Of the working man is to be used
only when Washington believes its use to be
justified. BY Withholding relief from so-called
'unjustified" strikers, the government reserves
the right to decide when walkout may be
called.
All this brings with it a tremendous re-
sponsibility for the people at Washington.
If the government can tell labor when not
to strike, it logically follows that it is up to
the government to see that labor gets the
squarest kind Of deal in its negotiations with
industrial management.
Washington has to fight the working mans
battles for him. A government which under
takes to break strikes when it feels such course
advisable also must undertake to make them,
on occasion.
This brings us into a field so new and I'M
explored that no living mortal can say what
we are going to see when we get to the other
side
1t also brings the new deal to its acid test.
Nothing could make the ordinary working
man swallow a dose like this except the pre-
viously mentioned reputation for fairness and
liberalism possessed by the present administra-
ton. And nothing could harm that reputation
as much as a couple of ill judged decisions as
to the "justif1ability" of certain strikes.
The success or failure of the whole new
deal easily might hinge on the way this new
policy is handled.

below the age Of 10 prefer comedies
and pictures of the wild west type
and do not care particularly about
seeing dramas. The investigators
concluded that some films induce a
disturbance of relaxed sleep in chill
dren to a degree which, if INDUCED
in with sufficient frequency, can
become detrimental to normal
health and growth.
For certain highly sensitive and
unstable children, the best hygienic
policy would be to attend carefully
selected films, and these only infre-
quently. I say this because there
are some movies that not only are
instructive, but may have a restful
effect on those who see them.
A study also was made on the
effects of coffee on various types of
children. 1t was found that coffee
does not have the constant detri-
mental effect on the sleep of all
children that it generally is assumed
to have. Some children were less
disturbed than others.
For some children, coffee dis
turbed their sleep during the first
few hours; for others, in the middle
Of the night; ano still others seemed
to be disturbed all through the night.
Strangely, some children were more
restless after drinking caffeine-free
coffee than ordinary coffee.
Most interesting of all, however.
was the fact that seeing the wrong
kind Of motion picture before going
to sleep resulted in the greatest dis
turbance of sleep.

HITLER'S MOVE

THERE are two ways of looking at almost
II everything and the current war scare in
Europe is no exception.
If you like, you can consider Germany's
withdrawal from the League of Nations a
calamitous step, threat to the peace Of the
world and a harbinger Of exceedingly stormy
weather just ahead. 1t certainly looks like
that, on the surface; certainly it has produced
more war talk than anything that has hap
pened since 1918.
But it also is possible to see in it one Of
those sudden shocks which occasionally jar
chemical solution into Capitalization.
For there is this about it; into meeting
of statesmen who came to talk disarmament
without having any very solid intention of
doing anything concrete about it there
stalked one man with nerve enough to toss a
-up-or-shut-up proposition on the table.
What Herr Hitler said, in effect was simply
this: We're here to discuss arms reduction,
and under the Versailles treaty all hands are
pledged to do a little reducing. Since you
don't seem to be doing anything about this,
Germany is out
1t was, in other words something very
like the calling of bluff Whether this was
Htler's motive in taking that step may not
be clear; that however is what it seems to
amount to-
If the allied nations are shocked and wor-
ried by this drastic action, they have only
themselves to blame.
They devised. in the Versailles treaty a
sure-flre means of keeping Germany's mind
on the gains that could be had through a
successful new war. They pledged themselves
to cut their own armed forces, and then re-
fused to do it. They held arms conference
after arms conference and let each one f1zzIe
out in froth of empty words
During the years since the war Germany
had succession of very moderate" govern
ments-governments which were devoted to
keeping the peace. Concessions on treaty re-
vision or arms reduction could have been made
to those governments with safety. They we're
not made, although they were requested over
and over again.
Now Germany has IingoStic government
which proposes to have a showdown. Menacing
as the situation appears, it may be that this
showdown will in the long run, help to clear
the air and remove the sense of unrealitv from
the whole disarmament question

MORE FLEXIBLE NRA

y EPORTS from Washington to the effect
IA that small employers in small towns pre-
sently may be exempted from the NFSA re-em-
ployment agreement indicates that a much
needed fexibility is about to be injected into
the program.
1t already has been discovered that living
up to an NRA agreement can be a terrific
handicap for the little fellow-the small town
man who runs a little restaurant, or a bar
Der shop, or filling station, or little grocery
store. lot of such employers with the best
will in the world, simply can not afford to
comply with all blue eagle requirements.
The wise thing, probably would be to ease
up on them. For it is not, after all, the little
employer who is most important in this pro-
gram; it is the big fellow who needs lacking
up the most. And if the government can de-
vote more attention to him by letting some
of the little fellows off, the whole NRA pro-
gram is apt to go forward more effectively.

A Woman's Viewpoint

/ hooey. The facts never have sus-
tanned it.
The person who is dishonest
through and through, who feels no
responsibility to society, is incapable
Of true affection. Where there is
no loyalty to a code of decent
morals, there can be no loyalty to
individuals.
The thing we have called loyalty
is fear. Put into a tight place with
the fear of sudden death removed,
the gangster always will betray his
pal.
Anyway it is q good thing for jus
tice when women like Katherine
Kelly no longer can depend upon
their shapely legs and their sweet
smiles to protect them. We can pity
