held in the Anne Arundel county
jail here today, following an at
tempt to hold up the Roma Inn at
Revel Station, seven miles from
here, last night, in which two
shots were fired.
Young Noble was arrested a

State Policeman j. C.. Gates and

Hall thought it was a practical

for more humane treatment Of
young girl delinquentS who must
take their places in society after
they have left institutions.
The discussion of the conditions
at the institution arose at Mrs.
Roosevelt's press conference after
she had announced that she will
entertain the girls of the school at
a garden party tomorrow after.

Tells Reason for Party
Asked why she was giving the
party for the girls, she said:

until recently there wasn't a single

that there was no plan for learning

SLEEP ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH

If there are still some individuals who be-

sically, let them listen to what Prof L. R.
Muller has to say on the subject This Ger
man doctor says there are certain process
es for maintaining the proper chemical
balance which can take place only during
sleep. If the amount of sleep is not e.
nough to allow these processes to be com
pleted, person is bound to become irrita-
BILE and nervous, Prof. Muller declared.
He explains that during the day when the
body is active calcium and potassium are
taken from the nerves and muscles by the
blood stream and are restored only during
sleep. If sleep is lost the nerves become
deficient in calcium and in such state are
abnormally sensitive to outside stimuli.
For that reason, says DIR. Muller, sleepless
individuals are annoyed by trivial things.
