RELIEF CHIEFS

erS today.
Attending the Mobilization for
Human Needs conference, these
leaders voiced the opinion that the
last-minute revision Of WPA re.
quirementS, under which minimum
work hours per week were aban
doned, may create q situation that
will seriously delay commencement
of any considerable number Of
employment-giving projects.
Direct Aid Reduced
In some States, they pointed out,
direct relief is bound to end before
work relief can be got under way.
In other States, direct relief al
ready has been terminated by the
Federal government on the ground
that WPA activities have made it
no longer necessary.
In most instances this action
has been timed so that unem-
ployed were absorbed in work
relief. Because Of the late move
under which President Roosevelt
threw support to Hopkins idea
Of quick spending, most Of the
substantial work plans developed
by municipalities and States, an.
ticipating public works allotmentS,
have been junked.
Cities Protest
In some instances, protests
have been made that it Is too
late for these communities to de-
velop any other substantial pro-
gram. In others, the communi-
ties bucked at putting up money
as their share Of the cost of what
are alleged to be virtual CWA
jobs.
The deadline, by which time
Hopkins pledged that all unem-
ployed would be at work, is rapid
ly approaching. Critics fear the
hurried mobilization Of workers
on revived CWA projects will re-
suit in repetition Of the alleged
evils Of the old CWA which was
abandoned under pressure a year
ago.

Relaxation the Enemy
of Pernicious Insomnia

Persons often worry because they
know they ought to have more rest
and sleep. There may be many rea-
sons why they are not getting it,"
Margaret Wylie has pointed out in
discussing sleeplessness as one of
the most common causes Of worry,
In Overcoming Worry" an article
appearing in Hygeia, the Health
Magazine.
'"The first thing to do after the
wish to overcome the difficulty is to
gain knowledge of certain factors in
sleep. A visit to the doctor will rule
out illness. Knowing how to relax
and lie still is fundamental in get
ting to sleep. Here, again, thoughts
are important. Some worriers try to
get to sleep with their thoughts run
ming a mile a minute, thoughts that
are driving and pushing them instead
of the kind that help to bring about
relaxation.
'In many cases the method of
dealing with the problem of ade-
quate sleep is planning the daily
program to get a sufficient number
of hours for sleep and to have a
quiet relaxing time leading up tc
rest. To release tension, amusing
stories have a relaxing effect
Music and art activities have their
effect, for under their influence we
will learn how to be quiet without

The people most likely to shrug
their shoulders at this are people
who have not come into much close
contact with intelligent dogs.
1t is probable that Boulderwall

the ability of most members of his
race, but it is equally probable that
many other CANNES try to make
themselves understood in human
language, and sometimes fail because
of the inattention or Indifference of
listeners, more than because of their
own limitations.

APP PLAN AID
To FARMERS

Many of the country's leading
authorities claim that one of the
ills of the nation today is the large
surplus of farm products.
Many of our people fully recog-
nize and appreciate the very bene-
ficial work being done by the
A. & P. in moving those commodi'
ties from the growers to the con-
sumers at but a small profit which
serves tc increase cost to con.
sumer. The lower cost to the con-
sumer permits many Of them to
purchase, thereby assisting to re-
duce the surplus at the farms
which tends to raise the prices
for the grower and at the same
time greatly benefits the con-
Sumer.
Large numbers of those who
have been anti-chain store advo.
Gates are today convinced that the
A&P as well as other similar
systems, are the logical outlets
for not alone surplus crops, but
for everything else which moves
directly from the producer to the
consumer.
