Sleep Will Come
In Spite Of Insomnia
There Nay Be Crodotions but Never Complete Sleep
lessness; Here Are Some Varieties

worries about getting to sleep. He
losses and counts sheep for hours,
finally doing off in the wee small
hours and waking with full daylight
upon him. His bad hours are the
approach of bedtime. He begins to
worry at nine o'clock. And he knows,
to his sorrow, that the more you
court the elusive goddess, the more
elusive she is.
The treatment of insomnia may
take many forms. One is the use of
hypnotic medicines. The best of
these are the barbiturates, developed
within the last few years. They are
infinitely superior to the old hyp-
motto drugs that used to be used.
Their names are legion - veronal,
luminal, amytal, seconal, nembutal,
medinal-all chemically very much
alike. It is generally held that they
are habit forming, but certainly not
markedly so. One report shows that
in the medical literature Of the
world there are only 400 cases of
addiction to these drugs.

atty they may be treacherous. But
for level-headed, responsible indi-
viduals, whose insomnia is based on
worry about business or illness, an
occasional nightly use of them is
life saver. They may affect animals
badly, but, as a London doctor writes
in book on insomnia, "a guinea pig
never saw his son lying at deaths
door. and a rabbit never had letter
from a banker about the overdraft."
Then-as another form of treat
ment-the plan of relaxation advo-
Gated by DR.. jacobson in his book,
You Can Sleep Well, may work for
some. Let all the muscles of the body
relax-the eye muscles, the speech
muscles, all the external muscles of
the legs, arms, back and neck. The
trouble is that this is just another
sheep-counting stunt. While you are
relaxing you are constantly wonder.
ing when you are going to sleep.
And it is worry that is the cause
OF most insomnia-especiallv worry
about going to sleep. If you can rise
above that, your insomnia will do
you no harm, and is likely to disap-
pear.

Waterbury Portuguese Seaman Faces Federal lndict=

said Silva was identified at the hearing Wednesday by Miss Rose Clarkin, Waterbury tax collector, as the man who paid the money. The inspector alleged that Silva also procured letters from former em- ployers of DaSilva which contained erroneous information concerning DaSilva's whereabouts during the period in question.
 The hearing Wednesday, conduct ed by Inspectors Kenney and AL manzo Tripp of the district office in Hartford, was for the purpose of determining whether Silva and the alien conspired to commit perjury and fraud by the introduction of false aff1davits, Inspector Kenney said. The findings will be given to the office of the United States Dis trict Attorney in Connecticut.
 Inspector Kenney alleged that Da- Silva returned to Portugal in 1921, married there and had two children and came back to the United States in 1926, entering as deserting sea- man at Baltimore, Md. The family was left in Portugal, the inspector said. DaSilva, who was arrested in 1885, claims he visited Portugal only during shore leave from ships on which he was working.
 Since the reopening of his case by the Department of Labor, DaSil- va has been free under $500 pending final determination of the proceed | ingS.

Antonio DaSilva, of Waterbury, alleged Portuguese seaman, may face federal indictments of perjury and conspiracy, as the result of a hearing held before U. s. immigra- tion officials in Waterbury this week, according to Roland w. Kenney of the United States Naturalization and Immigration Service in Connec- ticut. The sailors case was reopened recently on information brought forth by Jose Silva, registrar of vot- CTS in Fall River, Mass.
 Deportation of DaSilva from Bos- ton was stayed early this year when the Fall River registrar of voters produced tax payment receipts which he claimed proved DaSilva had remained in this country after his arrival in 1920 and had not re- turned to Portugal for a period be- tween 1921 and 1926 as charged by the immigration inspectors.
 However, Inspector Kenney stated investigation disclosed that last April, the registrar appeared in the Waterbury tax collectors office and paid $52 in DaSilva's name, the amount covering tax payments from 1921 to the present year.

the Department of Sales and Traffic Development of the New Haven Railroad nd made public today by w. J. Landon, sales and service agent.
 The railroads survey, taken among 26 municipalities along its lines, shows that those communities granted building permits in July having a total value of $4,681, ,785. This was an increase of $1,265 ,914 over the permit figures for the same cities and towns in June. It was likewise gain of $1,699,959 over their totals for July, 1898.
 The marked increase in July per- mits over those of June, however, was accounted for by a single factor, which was the issuance by New Ha- ven o ia permit valued at $1,666, 900 for the erection of Silliman College, the last unit in Yale University's college plan construction. Had it not been for this permit, the July state total would actually have been less than that of June.
 ThlS Item put NeW Haven at Cne top of the list with a permit valua- ton for the month. of $1,794,558. New London and West Hartford were in second and third positions, respectively.
 Thirteen of the 26 cities and towns reported building permit in- creases in July as compared with their June figures. They were Bridgeport, Bristol, East Hartford, Greenwich, Hamden, Manchester, Meriden, New Haven, New London, South Norwalk, Torrington, Weth- ersf1eld and Willimantic.
 July permits were higher in 14 of the municipalities than they were in the corresponding month of last year. These were Bristol, Danbury, East Hartford, Hamden, Manchester, Meriden, New Haven, New London, Stratford, Torrington, West Hartford, West Haven, Weth- ersf1eld and Willimantic.
 Comparative building permit data for July, 1889, and for July, 1888, were reported in the railroads sur- yey as follows:
