Cochet Getting in Form.

COcnet GettIn& III fOEH.
COCHET is showing vast improve
ment in his game, and as soon
as he becomes familiar to sur
face conditions and to unfamiliar
lights he is going to be . tall order
for any OF his fellow pros.
Vines has come up to his top form
and will improve surely and steadily.
Bruce Barnes has shown amazing i'm
provement, and no one can say when
he will be meeting the best on even
terms.
Beginning next May. when amateur
tennis gets into swing, the pros will
be engaged in an outdoor series which
will culminate in q grand interna-
tional tournament in this city next
August.
Now those who attend tennis
matches and thus finance the sport
have no heartening brief for the ANA
teur cause. At least q vast majority
OF them have not. Skilled play. col
and q sense Of seeing the best there
is are what bring out tennis enthusi-
asts and at present 1t Is the profes-
sional side of the game which has .
mortgage on all these potent selling
qualities.
How the amateur championship
Journeys next season and in the future
will stand up against competition 50
formidable is problematical. And In
this respect there is the additional
complication of defections from the
amateur standard to be considered
For as soon as youngster shows out
standing ability he will certainly listen
to the siren voice OF Bill T1lden OF
other professional promoters.
Easy to Lure Stars.
The average boy who emerges in
tennis these days is apt to be mem.
Der Of family Of average means. II
that and the picture Of Ellsworth
Vines, who has no profession
lawn tennis-and Is worth no princely
stipend in q business house, speaks
for itself. No need Of selling talk.
We shall know more about this
soon. Meanwhile, Cochet'S progress
will be interesting to watch. With
respect to Vines it will not be At all
surprising II Cochet comes abreast Of
him, If, indeed, he does not head him
of before the indoor touring Is ended.
Cochet's problem Is to study out .
method Of handling Vines speed, as
he has already learned how to solve
the boys service-Tlden's, too, for
that matter-by meeting the ball with
elbow close to the side-moce Of q
block than a stroke.
The Frenchman's pristine uncAnny
mastery over the half volley and vol
ley IS returning to him and In time
his great knowledge Of tactics and
strategy Will make him again the
potent figure he used to be.

This warning is sounded by a COM
mittee of the National Health Council. in
a report made public by Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, president Of the council.
II is pointed out that the government
cannot take over these health agencies at
the present time: it has all it can do, and
more, to support such agencies as were
already under its wing.
Unless private citizens give literally to
support them, such activities as visiting

Census bureau figures show that 1928
murders were committed in the United
States in 1888. Fewer than 1000 people
were sentenced as homicides, and only 153
were executed.
You need study those figures only for
a moment to see what a comparatively
chance Of paving any kind Of penalty at
small risk a killer actually runs. His
all for his crime is only about one in three:
and there is just one chance in so that he
will be executed.
More startling than this, however,
though doubtless in some way related to
it's the fact that the 1888 record is a
new high for the United States; further
more, the total has risen by more than
1000 in the last ten years, fewer than
5000 homicides having been recorded in
1923.
AS a disclosure Of the growth Of utter
lawlessness in this land, these figures
point their own moral.

Diseases Wiped Out
Best by Prevention
BY DIR. NORRIS FIsHBEIN
Editor. Journal OF the American Medical Association
and OF Hygeia. the Health Magazine

Everybody knows that sleep is necessary for the
human body. 1t Is the time when the cells recuper-
ate from the wear and tear that goes on during the
day.
People fail. however. to realize that two OF the
most necessary factors to sound sleep are exceedingly
hard TO get In these modern times. One OF them Is
darkness and the other quiet.
so widespread IS the use Of artificial light for all
sorts OF purposes. that II Is exceedingly difficult TO
obtain places for sleep in which there Is complete
darkness. Even a raw OF light may in some cases
serve As an irritating stimulus to awakening.
Quiet Is even more difficult to secure because OF the
motor car and the radio. We have in this country
one motor car for every I to 5 people. and at least
one radio for every family.
Because Of the way In which our large cities are
constructed. the rattle Of the cars on the street and
the sounds OF the radio in adjacent apartments and
homes are factors which keep people awake. In adj
dition. there are the noises from the railroad trains.
elevated trains and Of steamers when homes are
near navigable waters.
Beside the i~rritations which come from these
sources OF noise. there are conditions which have to
be overcome, such as the use OF bed clothing that Is
either too heavy or too light.
One specialist mentions the night caps worn BY
people OF a previous generation. These served the
useful purpose Of keeping the head warm and at the
same time shutting out, to a certain extent, the much
more i~nfrequent noises with which persons we're
troubled.
Sometimes sleep Is prevented merely by the fear
that one won't be able to sleep. This Is one Of the
most difficult causes Of insomnia to overcome. II
tends TO develop a vicious circle leading to greater
and greater difficulty in falling sleep.
The best advice to those who find sleeping df-
ficult is. first Of all. 70 develop a regular sleep habit.
selecting always q certain hour for going 70 sleep and
holding to Il as much as possible; second, developing
the optimum conditions for sleep and securing these
in a routine manner.
Once you convince yourself that you will be able
to sleep without too much trouble. you will find
yourself able to fall asleep more readily, and the
sleep far more refreshing than formerly.
There are hundreds Of proverbs 70 indicate the
recognition given to sleep over many centuries as
one real panacea for an o-verstimulated, fatigued or
disordeded nervous system. IN all the category OF
hygienic measures. sound sleep should probably lead
the rest.
