The forum idea, by the way,

AN interesting sidelight on this

A HIGHER than average at

Those visiting the exhibition
are enabled 10 wander leisurely
through the galleries and spend
as much time as they choose to

all the details of their beauty

Pittsburgh while the Simmons in
vestigation was going on. The re-
suits Of that investigation showed
that a sleeper made 25 to 60 major
changes of position during the
night on ordinary mattresses, but
no study vas made to show Wheth-
er fewer Stirs were made o n more

DR.. Mattison got to thinking,
and he was inspired by two con-
siderations. One was that in the
United States there are consumed
from 35 to 70 thousand pounds of
hypnotic drugs like luminal. This
would indicate that there is some
thing the matter with the comfort
of our beds. The other was that
millions of people r taking
treatment to improve their pos
turc, which might be improved, he
surmised, by the use Of better
sleeping equipment.
Regional Resistances
After several years work he
has formulated a principle, which
is regional spring resistances pro-
portional to regional differences
IN recumbent body weight. BY ar
Hanging three scales with ham
mocks in them and putting differ
emf people of varying bodily build
in these sings. he found that the
central scale bore twice as much
weight as either of the other two.
Mattresses, he concluded, should
be more solidly constructed in the
middle than they are to avoid the
inevitable sagging. Mattresses
should be hard in some places and
soft in others.
He has been able to persuade
Mattress manufacturers Of the
correctness of his views and many
such mattresses are available.
Undoubtedly it seems reason
able that such scientifically de
signed mattresses will tend to
make for better posture and by
that means improve general
health.

AROUND THE TOWN
(By Nibby Knows)

This new tax law certainly reach
es everyone. Probably the most out
standing of the items taxed is the
SIS use tax on automobiles. 1t is
estimated that there are 60 million
automobiles and trucks in the Unit
ed States At this rate, If my
mathematics are correct, the U. S.
Golfers will be enriched to the ex-
tent of some three billion dollars.
To top this off is the 10 percent ex-
else tax on the manufacture of
autos plus a tax of 5 cents per
pound on tires. So altogether the
automotive industry will probably
furnish more money in taxes than
any other single industry. Another
tax that will hit several million
Americans is the tax on cigarettes.
The tax will be $2.10 per thous-
and or 7 cents per pack. A tax OF
10 percent has been imposed on
electrical appliances, sporting goods,
photographed equipment, radios
and monographs, and cosmetics.
The general consensus of opinion
is the tax is about as fair as it can
be made with few exceptions. One
of the big things is that the tax on
automobiles should be made in ac-
cordance with kind, condition, etc
Suppose one man owns jaloppy
costing 800. He has to pay the
same tax as the man who owns a
car costing $4,000. Most people fee
that the man with the big cal
should pay more than the man with
the jaloppy. However this law was
passed by the men that we the peo
pie sent to congress. Since they
have seen fit to pass this law for the

should be willing to do our part b.
