which fall In greater proportion upon
the poor and those of moderate means
than upon the wealthy. The same is
true of other sales taxes known as excise
taxes.
There is more reason, however, to be
gratifed over the report of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. The steel in
dustry and the automobile industry are
swinging upward. Orders for new auto
mobiles in the first half of 1885 were
rs per cent In excess Of the orders for
similar period last year. But the
federation warns that the unemploy-
ment problem in this country Is still
serious, with 100000 persons without
work. OF the 100000 laid off when the
depression struck, only 100000 have
found permanent jobs in industry again.
The federation estimates there were
3 3O0O,0O0 persons already out of work at
the beginning of the depression and
that 100000 young persons have
reached working age since. That is the
part of the picture which is still dark.

Library Needs.

or supreme Importance to the cultural
progress of Washington are the needs of
the Public Library. That is fact which
generally is recognized in normal times,
but it happens that it merits particular
consideration in times like the present,
when the demands upon the library
facilities are enormously enhanced. An
increase of $259,175 in the 1887 budget
estimates requested of the Commission
ers and Congress at first glance may
seem large, yet brief review Of condi-
tionS in the library organization will
convince any reasonable critic that 1t
is exceedingly moderate. Since 1890 the
number of registered borrowers has in
creased 615 per cent, the volumes cir
culated 81 per cent, and the staff per-
sonnel only 13 per cent. The differen-
tial represented in those figures is an
argument which cannot be expediently
neglected.
The city has grown and is growing, the
demands of the people for library service
have developed and will continue to
develop proportionately. Those who are
intruSted with the direction of the Public
Library would be remiss in their duty If
they did not protect the community's
cultural health with all the sincerity,
enthusiasm and devotion of which they
are capable. Certainly the time has
passed when the principle of the matter
stands in want Of defense. The Nation
agrees with President Roosevelt that
mere existence is not enough and that
life must be made worth living. Any
skeptic may test the elemental values of
the libraryS case for himself by visit
ing the Central Branch and talking with
its patrons.
But the proposed increase is wanted
especially for the construction Of the
proposed Petworth Branch and to pur-
chase a site and pay for plans for the
projected AnacoStia Branch. These are
required for the service of two portions
of the city now isolated from conven-
lent access to library advantages-men
and women, boys and girls who must
travel to the Central Branch or do
without the books they wish to read.
The Petworth location is available on
the campus of the new Roosevelt High
and the Macfarland Junior High Schools,
Government property assigned to such
use, and the branch to be operated there
has the approval of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations. The Anacostia
Branch is designed to be of use to q
growing residential community, in addi-
ton to no less than dozen schools,
the personnel OF st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital and the flying fields.
Both claims are valid. The alterna-
tive is a continuance of cultural dis
abilities such as the Nations Capital
ought not to tolerate with complacence.

What "Breathing Spell?"

President Roosevelt yesterday let it be
known that he has received numerous
kilograms and letters Of appreciation
for his concession of legislative
breathing spell to business. But to
some elements OF the business and
financial world Mr.. Roosevelt's promise
of all armistice is apt to be viewed as
fine irony in view of the fact that no
longer ago than Wednesday last 1t was
announced that congressional commit
tees are about to start seventeen differ
ent Investigations covering a variety of
organizations and conditions. Under
Senate auspices the lobby probe prin-
cipally aimed at public utility corpora
tionS is to continue, the munitions
makers are to be subjected to further
grilling, air transport companies are to
be put on the pan, the cotton market
crash OF few months ago is to be
examined, the results of the 1894 silver
purchase act are to be analyzed, rail-
road financial reorganization arrange
mentS are to be reviewed, Virgin Island
affairs are to be rehaShed, Federal
judgeships and bankruptcy proceedings
are to be probed. Meanwhile House of
Representatives committees will consider
plans for a new N. r. A., War Depart
ment purchases and practices, chain
grocery and drug store combinations,
and the activity of real estate bond
holders protective organizations, and
possibly most important of all, the
Federal Communications Commission
will try the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company as a trust.
Certainly, much of all this seems
necessary. The fruits OF the investiga-
tions captained by Senator Black and
Senator Nye. for instance, have been
convincing enough to prompt belief that
they should be completed. But the prom
ise Of breathing spell" to those about
to feel the probe. seems rather empty.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

The gliding quality Of sleep-no one
ever described it better than Coleridge
in his memorable lines from THE An
cient Mariner:
"Oh, sleep, 1t Is q blessed thing,
Beloved from pole to pole;
To Mary, queen, let praise be given,
Who sent the gentle sleep from heaven,
That slid into my soul"
These lines were brought to mind in
reading OF man who took his life.
1t was diticult for the reader to un-
derStand why, until he got almost to
poor fellow was often described as 'the
man who never slept"
Poor fellow!
Almost everybody can sympathize with
q man vino never sleeps.
Sleep is such q commonplace thing
that few people ever think about it at
all, which perhaps is just as well, since
taking thought seldom wins 1t.
Common sense, on the other hand. is
the best thing to use, il one finds him..
self sleepless, from time to time.
1t Is possible to put up bluff, If one
gets little sleep, and pretend. as perhaps
the suicide did, that one neither needs
nor wants much of it, but in the last
analysis it will be found that practically
all people get more or less the same
amount.
Where they differ is in the time of
sleep, not the duration OF 1t. Habit is
powerful and he who stays up late will
sleep late, that is all.
Go to bed early, wake up early. 1t
is no wonder that Benjamin Franklin
penned his famous cOuplet.
~ II II
Sleep Is so necessary that whenever
man arises, from time to time, to
state that 1t Is not needed. he receives
little attention from the general public.
The dear old public knows better and
with right good reason, for 80 far no
known research has shown that there
will ever be a way to get around the
need.
1t is matter of the nerves, and you
cannot fool with nerves.
1t is matter OF the cleansing Of the
entire system, as well as a question of
rest. The functions of the body are
slowed down in sleep, at the same time
the subconscious mind is given complete
control, relieving the conscious mind.
The whole process Of sleep is such
natural one, so well taken care OF by
the entire body that no person knows
just when he goes to sleep or how or
just when he wakes up.
This is the sliding quality of which
the poet so correctly speaks.
- y
Lack Of sleep, as many q person has
found. Is not SO bad. after all. If one
reSolutely keeps out OF 1t the conscious
mind. the mind We use every day.
Fretting and fuming about sleepless-
ness makes 1t really bad, as most people
know who have tried it.
II one Stubbornly resists all thoughts
upon the subject. while trying to get
to sleep. the chances are large that
one will soon be asleep.
Wherefore, counting sheep" and
similar devices for wooing slumber are
mostly hokum, In every sense, since
they prevent the most necessary thing.
This necessary thing is disregard of
sleep while attempting it.
1t will be found that thinking about
almost any other subject under the sun
is better than thinking, When will I
be able TO 60 to sleep?"
Even worry, held as the bane of
sleep is not so bad as that The more
determined the effort to 60 to sleep, the
more sure one is not to 20 at all.
Evening star., 1935-09-09

Inability to sleep should be taken
for what 1t really Is. sort OF illness.
The posture of the sick, therefore, Is
in order. lying on the back.
Attempts to 60 to sleep while lying
on the side or stomach are uniformly
unsuccessful with many persons, al
though they may never have realized it.
Let them turn over and assume the
Supine or face upward position, hence
on the back.
At this point clear distipction must
be made between two words, prone and
supine. Prone" Is often used loosely
to mean simply lying fiat. any old way,
on back or stomach, but really 1t means
lying face downward.
To lie on the back, face upward, E
to lie supine.
Secondary definitions Of "supine," such
as disinclined for exertion, indolent,
lethargic, help us keep the meaning
straight.
II we are indolent, the chances are
we are lying around somewhere, prob
ably reading, back down, face up.
This position comes as near to the
average conception of do nothing" as
can be imagined and this, Of course, is
exactly what we want when we attempt
to go to sleep.
Any other position may mean thought
and this is exactly what we do not
want, at least any conscious attempt
TO go to sleep.
The fatal thing Is to think about
sleep while attempting to sleep.
Think about it now, think about 1t
any time at all except at the precise
moments of desiring it.
The best way not to think about sleep
Is to think about something else.
Anything else will do, business wor-
ries, II one cannot think OF anything
better.
There are, Of course, q great many
better subjects, under the circumstances.
Almost anything that has in it less
aspects Of worry. Worry is not good at
any time, but it Is especially bad when
there already is one big worry about
failure to go to sleep.
Any subject which takes the mind
off this big worry will be helpful and
put the mind in q condition where 1t
may be surprised and finally overcome.
1t is right here that the divine sliding
character Of sleep comes in.
Look In the books and see the photo
graphs OF the nerve "endings," how they
quietly disengage upon sleep and come
together again on waking.
Shakespeare was not so far wrong
when he wrote about sleep that knits
up the ravelld sleeve OF care for 1t
is a sort of nightly knitting, after all, Or,
rather, an unknitting

1t is 80 impossible to live without
sleep that very few persons have ever
honestly and completely tried it, despite
the fact that 1t has been considered.
from time to time, by every person that
ever lived.
1t seems such a waste Of time, in q
busy life, such useless, almost senseless
proceeding. 1t is here. as with so many
things. little knowledge is, indeed, a
dangerous thing.
The student who looks even partly
into the mysteries of life soon comes
to see the great need for sleep. Life
is a falling forward and downward.
1t is only the mind and soul of man
which look upward to better and a
different day.
Sleep is necessary. The last thing
any one ought to want said about him
is the label. "the man who never slept"
because 1t means q misunderstanding Of
life and all that goes with 1t.

The New German Army.

Under the Vlgliant eye OF Fuenrer
Hitler, Germanys new army has just
completed its first large scale maneu-
yers. They were conducted by 100000
troops distributed over ten corps areas
Foreign observers. who are veterans OF
war games" in many countries, agreed
that the Germans have made impress
sive progress in the formation OF
modern military machine in the brief
period since the Nazi government last
March defiantly abrogated the restric-
tive clauses of the Versailles treaty and
restored the Reich to consumption
basis. Under the treaty Germany was
allowed a non -conScript army Of lOOO
but denied the right to possess heavy
artillery, tanks and bombing aircraft
Even thus handicapped, the Germans
whipped the Reichswehr into a highly
efficient force, which, for its size and
limited equipment, was declared by ex-
perts to be in some respects world
model What 1t lacked in personnel
strength and guns it made up for in the
elan inherent in Germanys military ira
ditions.
1t Is commonly understood that the
Reich plans to maintain an army OF
between 1000 and 5000 men, which
would make it one of the most formi-
dable in Europe. 1t would be supple
mented by the highly effective reserve
force of storm troopers, veterans and
other Semi-military units which have
been uniformed and drilled throughout
the Hitler regime. At times during the
past two years estimates were heard
that Germany could take the field with,
roundly, two million trained soldiers and
charges were freely made that adequate
munitions and equipment, even includ-
ing heavy guns, were secretly accumu-
lated.
The army which Hitler is now openly
creating shows every sign Of measuring
up in excellence to the Kaiser's famed
pre-war legions. Provision Of officers is
its chief problem. For an army of 500,-
900 men, $4,000 officers are required
Upon the development of command
corps of such dimensions Gen. Won
Blomberg, Hitlers masterful minister of
war, may be expected to concentrate.
A military attache from abroad, sum-
moning his impression of the late
maneuvers, was struck by "omnipresent
evidences that Germany is going ahead,
calmly, methodically and unfeverishly,
building an army for the future"
To what use in that future the rulers
Of the Reich intend to put the great

Long Expected 1t.

A lot of people have wondered for
to forestall the traditional fate OF die
tators, or those who would become die
tators. If ever a man lived under the
Damoclean sword, that man has been
Huey Long. He has, himself, hourly
anticipated the aSSassin's shot by taking
all the methods of precaution against 1t.
last night was not the effort to do away
with Senator Long, but that the mis-
guided fellow who made it came so near
to success.
Senator Longs recovery is to be de-
voutly desired. In his political life he
has cherished methods and has repre-
sented forces that are repugnant to
American tradition and ideals OF democ-
racy, among them, liberty. In Louisiana
he has built a machine, with himself
in the drivers seat, that is ruthless
and crushing in its control over the
State. One of his ambitions is to ex-
tend and to enlarge the ramifications
of that machine beyond the bounda-
ries of Louisiana, to take in as much
territory as his unceasing efforts can
make it take in. But the way to stop
Huey Long is not by the aSsaSSin'S bull
let, but by the marShaling of common
sense behind the orderly processes which
Huev himself has attempted to set aside.
The man who tried to stop Huey Long
was actuated by motives which are
Understandable enough and which, by
their frailty, are all too human. He
was a member of that element in Louisi-
ana which has felt the heel of the
dictator, and a few minutes before his
attack he had seen rubber-Stamp State
legislators pass redistricting measure
specifically aimed at unseating his
father -in-law from a judgeship, occu-
pied contrary to the wishes of the State
machine. The young man may have
had some crazy idea of shooting in
self-defense, if not in retribution.
But it is better that he died and Long
lived. The assassination of Long may
have brought about the early dissolu-
ton of the Long empire in Louisiana.
But when Long is removed from the
political scene he seeks to dominate,
1t must be by the votes of thinking
American citizens and not by the
pseudo-anarchists whose warped vision
gives to the Senator from Louisiana
stature and importance he does not
deserve and whose random shots might
kindle fires far more dangerous than
Huey Long.

weapon they are forging is the question
which Europe ceaselessly and anxiously
,ponders. Its construction sychronizes
with the establishment Of mighty air
force and navy that is to be thirty-flve
per cent as strong as the British fleet.
Hitler periodically atfirms his devotion
to peace. But German longings to
accomplish anschluss (union) with Aus
tria are far from suppressed, and there
is the Nazi bible, Hitlers epic MY
Struggle" with its enduring stress upon
the Third Reich's mission some day to
unite all the Teutonic peoples within
Greater Germany and to wipe out the
artificial frontiers" that now separate
them. Is the Feuhrer arming afield,
afioat and aloft against "the day" when
he can strike irresistibly to attain that
goal?
