Mary L. Jobe Akeley Carries On-Sleep
BIZ EdWin C.. Hill

Carl Akeley, sculptor, natural
list and African explorer, who
first proved that the gorilla is
a shy creature and that the lion
is gentleman, has gone to his
reward. But his charming wife,
Mrs. Mary L. Jobe Akeley, who
adventured with him into the
deepest jungles of the Dark
Continent, remains to carry on
his great work.
To meet her in the new Afri.
can Hall of the great American
Museum of Natural History,
now approaching its completion,
you would scarcely credit that
this gentle-spoken, beautifully
dressed and most attractive
lady had walked at her hus-
bands side, in rough khaki,
rifle in hand, daring perils that
most men would finch from.
When Carl Akeley died SUD-
denly in Africa, while collecting
the magnificent specimens of
African wild life that now fill
African Hall, the expedition
was left without a leader. But
Mrs. Akeley, then in the Kivu
Mountains jungle, two miles
high, stepped reSolutely into her
dead husbands place and car
ried his work on to success.
Tremendous Task
She buried Carl Akeley on the
mountain side. Resolutely she
took charge of a safari of two
hundred black men. Deter
minedly she carried through the
tremendous task of procuring
and preparing the specimens
which you will see in the great
hall, and lordly tuskers of the
African jungle. And at the end
she led the safari back to civili-
cation, one of the most cou-
rageous tasks ever achieved by a
lone woman.
A Bryn Mawr and Columbia
girl, she had adventure tingling
in her blood. An explorer in
her own right, she has made
10 expeditions into the high
Canadian Rockies. A mountain
there is named for her, mt.
Jobe."
Most interesting and intrigu-
ing are the findings of Ger
man statiStician. Siegfried Ber-
gengrun. who set about to dis
cover what happens to the Sec
onds, minutes, days. weeks,
months and years which make
up the average life of the man
and woman who reaches the
biblical threescore and ten.
Herr Bergengrun'S findings,
published in Modern PSycholo-
gist," tells us that five years Of
what we think is a precious ex-
istence are devoted to dressing,
shaving or making up the face
and hair. and three years Of
the married mans time is spent
in waiting for his wife.
oOne-third of our lives. more
than 20 years, is lost in sleep ,
and from this there is no escape,
no substitute. It Is one item we

cannot skimp. Men have tried
to reduce sleep to a minimum,
notably Napoleon and Frederick
the Great, dominant figures who
would be masters of men and
empires and even nature. But in
the last they failed, for, as Herr
Bergengrun points out, they
suffered miserable breakdoWns
despite their fabulous energies
and iron wills"
Sleep, always a favorite sub
ject for the poet, has recently
attracted considerable attention
from the scientist. DR.. Donald
Laird, of the department of
psychology of Colgate Univer-
sity, says that we sleep in parts,
and that not all of the body
slumbers at the same time. This
is his explanation of why some
people awaken with the recollec-
ton of having heard the clock
strike every hour during the
night and the belief that they
had not been asleep at all. The
fact was that they were asleep
all the time, but their mind con-
tinued to record mental impress
Sions.
DR.. Laird's investigations led
him to conclude that the typical
distinguished man ave RACES
eight hours sleep, that we feel
the loss of sleep more at the
age of IS than at any other
time, and he confirms the COM
mon theory that older persons
require less sleep than those
who have not come to IS.
Living Death
The doctor points out that a
person can go without food for
two or three months, but that
the loss of sleep for week is
fatal. However. there was at
least one singular exception to
this finding within the past
year. There died in Budapest a
man who never closed an eye
for Is years. He was Lieut..
Col. Cornelius SZekely, an
Austrian soldier.
Back in 1916 a Russian bull
let went through his head and
what was hailed as a remark
able recovery was in reality a
living death of Wakefulness to
the young officer. Never was
he to know the peace and rest
of sheep. While puzzled doctors
studied his case only to become
more puzzled. be went along
through the years working for
II hours each day and spending
the other Is hours in reading
or card playing.
The last four years of his life
saw his health failing with a
nervous breakdown, drink and
morphine. Then on his last
day on earth he fell into a deep
Slumber and his heart stopped.
There is no substitute for sleep
so science tells us. Yet who
would ask for one? God bless
the man who first invented
sleep~ So Sancho Panza said,
and so say I.

Throughout the nation there
arises the demand for reduc-
ton in the size of unwieldly
State legislatures and with it
comes speculation as to pos
sible curtailment of the cum
bersome United States Con-
greSS.
Nebraska is the only State
that has reached the point
where it has made plans to
vote on reducing its legislature.
The people OF chat State will
vote on the question of merg-
ing the two branches of its
legislature into one group and
reducing its membership from
more than $50 to a minimum
of 80 and maximum of so men.
Far-Sighted men agree that
the time is rapidly approaching
when it will be necessary to
make changes in the national
legislative structure.
When the temporary pay cut
is not in effect, the taxpayers
contribute $4,35O,OOO annually
to pay the members of the
House and $96O,OOO to pay the
Senate membership, exclusive
of mileage allowance.
When the trainers of the Con-
stitution created the Congress
they intended that it should be
composed of men who repre-
sented the wishes of the people.
Could they see the Congress of
today they would not recognize
it as their creation.
The House, particularly, has
exceeded all bounds of useful
ness.
1t was created to legislate, to
tax, to appropriate. It's powers
have been delegated to the Presi-
dent by it's own vote. 1t does
not serve as q check on the
President. 1t acts in accordance
with his wishes.

that the size of the House must
be curtailed.
It's 435 members cannot agree
on legislation, so have sue
cumbed to the dictates of their
leaders. Drastic rules keep them
in line and the rights of the
minority are ignored.
To reconstruct the House so
that it might be the legislative
body that the fathers of the
nation intended would necessi-
tate reduction of membership.
Such reduction could be &C
complished by statute. But the
Members of the House would
not vote to destroy their own
positions.
The only other method Of
curtailment is by popular de-
mand at a constitutional con-
ventiOn. To call such a cOnven-
ton would require approval of
two-thirdS of the State legisla-
lures. To secure that vote would
be difficult.
To eliminate the cumbersome

A wedding ring is like a coat
of sunburn; it may take some
patience and ingenuity to get
it-but that is nothing to the
long-drawn-out struggle you'll
have when you want to get rid
of it.
Some men are spoiled by
their mothers, some are spoiled
by their wives and some just
manage to make pets of them
selves and the spelling is auto
matte.
A girl won't be convinced
that the depression is actually
lifting until she sees the effects
in the marriage market, and ne
gins receiving better and bigger
offers of wedding-ringS from
men who can afford to marry.

Adam missed a lot of things

into her husbands coffee to see
if anything would ever make
him GROW UP.
The Constitution prohibits
Cruel and unusual punish
ment"- but that doesn't apply
to what a woman does to her
hair at q beauty shop, or to
what man does to his liver.
1t sounds so mid-Victorian
these days, when a woman has
to admit that she is still happily
married to the first husband
she picked, that she feels as
though she ought to explain"
Marriage is like champagne;
no matter what a headache it
gives you, the moment the
effects wear off, you forget all
you suffered and are anxious to
try it again.
This is the glamorous season
of adventure, when a girl dolls
up every morning, just as
though she had a special ap-
pointment with FATE.
Every few months a man is
through with women, for life"
