going to bed is certainly cause
of wakriulncSS in many cases.
Any treatment of Insomnia
which aims {, go 10 the roo; oi the
causes will take these factors into
account. The quality of your sleep
will depend very considerably on
the quality Of your activities dur
ing the several hours before going
to bed. Not To engage III mental
stimuli or physical exercise is a
primary requisite.
There is considerable difference
in peoples idiosyncracics to such
thing as taking bath before
going TO bed. a warm bath soothcs
some people and stimulates others.
Also. some people can sleep on
their backs and some cannot. But
by a due consideration of personal
differences, natural sleep can be
restored to most people. A natural
sleep is thr only kind worth hay-
ing.

Inspectors of the War Manpower

The comment of Joseph w.

by Felix A. Scroggs, manager of
the local office of the United
States Employment Service.
The survey disclosed, accord
ing to Mr.. Scroggs, that most of
the employers contacted were
very familiar with the employ
ment sterilization measure, and
were operating accordingly.
"Only two of the concerns visit
ed had no records whatsoever, "
Scroggs declared. The ramifica-
ton of the plan were explained,
and both employers indicated that
on a re-inspection their records
would be entirely in order.

power representatives are expect
ed periodically, the next inspec-
ton being due in approximately
two or three weeks. At that time,
Mr.. Scroggs, explained, the en-

Local Youth Considered
Killed After Reported
Missing In Sea Battle
Floyd Bagley Sneeden Lost In
Engagement At Savo Isle

Floyd Bagley Sneeden, 21-year-
old Wilmington sailor who has been
missing since his ship, the USS

1910. Prior to his enlistment, he
was a member of his fathers firm,
z. A. Sneeden and Sons, Whining
ton contractors.
In letter to the family, Secre-
tary of the Navy Frank Knox said:
81 extend to you my sincere SYM
pathy in your great loss and hope
you may find comfort in the know
ledge that your son gave his life
for his country, UNFOLDING the high
est traditions of the Navy. The
Navy shares in your sense OF be-
reavement and will feel the loss
of his services"
He is survived by his father;
two sisters, Mrs. Andrew Mea-
dows and Mrs. S. A. Causey;
and by six brothers, A. c., E. B.,
