Of treatment Today | wish to re-
fer to the other form of insomnia
chronic regularly recurring
nightly insomnia which plaques
some of our friends.
Some Of is are good sleepers
and some are poor sleepers. That
is undoubtedly true. But sleep is
such a fundamental rhythm of life
that everybody gets some, whether
they realize or admit it or not. II
is as inevitable as the movement
of the earth on its aXis-the COM
ing Of night-or the circling of the
earth round the sun-the changes
of the seasons for the alternating
animals.
Sleep is more Of a necessity than
water or food. No human being can
go, under normal circumstances,
more than three days and nights,
at the most without going TO sleep.
In some experiments on human
subjects Kleitman kept them
awake in periods varying from so
to Ia hours. After that no amount
OF running around, pinching, light
flashing, noises or any form of per-
sonal discomfort was able to keep
them awake. Dogs die after being
kept continuously awake for Ii
days.
Self-Sympathetic Exaggeration
So when anyone tells you that
they haven't slept a wink for
weeks or even for days, put it
down to self-sympathetic exagger-
alton. lnsomniacs VIGOROUSLY do
not count the two or three hour
long maps they have.
The chronic, regular, recurrent
insomnia can be put down unqual-
ifedly as a case of nerves -
psyche In spite of their
claims for long distance wakeful-
ness, they look fat, sassy, and in
the best of health.
Obviously the last sort Of rem
edy for this kind of insomnia is
the use of any kind Of drug. Psy-
chologic treatment is best.
Ways to Induce Sleep
All Of them have some tricks TO
induce sleep. Most insomniacs be-
gin to get set to stay awake right
after dinner. They know they are
not going to sleep tonight. The
tricks are a release mechanism
which shunts this line of thought.
For some a hot bath will induce
sleep, and others it will wake Up.
The hot glass of milk or some kind
of food is a general favorite. Hun
ger is a foe to restful sleep. At
the opposite pole from the hot
bath, many of them want to throw
the bed clothes off and air out.
Some even like to walk around
naked except for slppers-even
go out of doors that way on cold
nights or walk around the house.
Better than any drug, even the
barbiturates, for occasional insom-
MIA, is the wet pack. You will have
to put aside your prejudices about
sleeping in cold, damp sheets when
you employ it. Put a rubber sheet
over the mattress, then a heavy
blanket Then wiring out sheet in
water of ordinary cold tap temper
ature - 60 to 20 degrees - and
spread it over the blanket. The
patient lies down on this sheet
with arms raised and you fold one
half the sheet over his body. Then
the arms come down to the sides
and you cover them and the rest
of the body with the other half Of
the sheet. Then cover with the
blanket. First the patient shivers,
then he warns up the damp sheet.
He is surrounded by warm steam.

Nuts to Crack

Aside from political affairs the National
Capital is deeply concerned about multi
plicity of problems and questions. There
is keen interest in Washington and else
where in the activities of the Truman
Senate Committee which has been inves-
tigating and keeping track of war pro-
dIction since the war began. When the
Baruch report was made and officials
were appointed by the President to carry
out its recommendations our Washing
ton wise men were not slow in predicting
new and improved relations between the
Senate and the White House.
Donald Nelson, head of the War Pro-
ductior Board, raises big question in his
statement calling for strict curbS against
war-created companies entering new pro-
duction fields in which they played no
part before the war. He also asserted
that it would be a physical impossible
ity" to allow all manufacturers to resume
non-military production at practically
the same time. Nelson advocates policies
that should ease war plants back into
their old lines of manufacturing, and

healthy return to the free enterprise sys-
tenn in the United States.
The puzzle involves reconverSion, and
reconstruction. But the ultimate ques-
ton is jobs and employment for the fu-
ture years. If our "narrow-nationalism
is protected, the question of initiation,
price-fxing, rationing, subsidies, and the
new-fangled Specialization of human be-
ings, have chances to be Strengthened out
in time. There are many evidences that
there will be return to reason. Some
optimists insist that prosperous times
will return at the close of the war. They
must not overlook the facts that there
are a lot of hard nuts to crack.

Draft of Womanpower

The American Association of University
Women has gone on record as favoring the
drafting of women for military service, if
the need is demonstrated by the War and
Novy Departments. This is bold state
ment on touchy subject that has been
limited at often but seldom discussed
openly.
There is bound to be considerable OPP
position, much of it based on whispered
exaggerations. This is unfortunate and
unfair to the splendid young women
already in the service and the excellent
job they are doing But if manpoWer
needs become increasingly acute, the sub
ject of selective service for women will
have to be discussed sanely, fairly, and
openly.
In such discussion three points at
least will surely be put forth in favor OF
conscription: the almost unanimous ap-
proval by top military officials of the
work already done; the failure of recruit
rnent to meet WAC and WAVE quotas;
the great assistance that English women
have given under compulsory service
law.

Good Neighbors

Sports writer Harry Grayson, returning
from trip to Mexico City, reported that
the unruffled American attitude of
"manana" doesn't apply where bull fights
are concerned. The fixed and inalterable
starting time, he wrote, is o'clock, and
the late-coming spectator is greeted by a
chorus of boos that make the Bronx cheer
seem chautauqua salute by comparison.
This being so, we may rest assured that
the good-neighbor policy down Mexico
way IS solid, sincere, and a success. For
the bull fight impresarios postponed the
performance an hour last Sunday so that
a group of American neWspapermen
could see the horse races first.

FLOOD CONTROL OR POWER7

(Christian Science Monitor
Vermont's opposition to the Fed
eral Governments fiood-control-
and-power project on West River,
it now appears, is not based solely
on the States desire to say where
such a dam should be built within
its own borders The question arises
as to whether flood control and the
impounding Of water for power pur-
poses are compatible. Flood control
plans, as worked out by the tri-
State compact with Massachusetts
and Connecticut, called for storage
basins into which food waters
could be diverted - thus saving
the cities of Holyoke, Springfield.
and Hartford from inundation by =
flooded Connecticut River. Power
projects call for full reservoirs
which, some contend, are Of little
use in stopping flood waters. The
Vermont matter, it seems, is up to
Congress, which controls the purse
strings, but the policy involved is
nationwide in application.

A BLOW TO THE THEATER
(Hartford Courant)

The blighting influence of an un-
wisely high tax, destroying initiative
and reducing employment, has been
clearly delineated in the recent APP
peal by the League of New York
Theaters to the Treasury Depart
ment, protesting the recently legis-
later 20 per cent admission tax on
theaters and amuSements. Although
at first glance the tax might appear
to be reasonable charge on luxury
the League has bitterly protested
that the theater is not luxury in
the sense that jewelry, perfume and
expensive furs are luxuries. There
is no tax on published books" they
say. 'Why single out the theater?"
Aside from the unquestionably
great contribution the theater has
made to the maintenance of ma
tional morale, and the generous
volunteer entertainment work that
members of the aacting profession
are giving without stint there are
other valid consideration in support
of the actors stand in opposing this
tax. The mortality of stage plays
is high. Out of every ten plays
produced, two, such as oklahoma

the ten will completely and prompt

may or may not be nursed back to
financial health. During this period
of financial nurturing, the scales
are evenly balanced. Stimulants
such as reduced prices, discounts
and theater parties, may be resort
ed to-. But any untoward advance
in price may be sufficient to spell
doom for such promising, but not
yet secure play.
1t goes without saying that the
20 per cent tax now levied on the
alter tickets will mean curtain fol-
many such plays that otherwise
would have survived. This, in turn
means fewer jobs for actors and
everybody associated with the the

Views OF The Press

erance in the whole community or
any of its parts can be successful.
Tolerance cannot stand alone as the
essence of virtue or even as single
virtue. 1t implies and depends OH
a whole moral system Of which it
is but one feature.
In the absence of even so much
as passing notice of the whole sys-
tenn, 1t is impossible to convince
men Of the validity of one of its
parts. Grapes grow on vines; one
cannot have the grapes without the
vines. No more can one expect chill
dren to recognize single moral OBJ
legation, if they are not familiarized
with the moral system Of which 1t
is but one part.
Every attempt to acquaint chill
dren, in connection with their edu-
cation, with the requirements of the
moral law is strenuously combatted
by thousand arguments ranging
from indoctrination with outmodeo
f1ummery to imminent union of
church and state. It is inconsistent
to demand the presentation of one
aspect of the moral law while bar
ring any mention Of the moral law
as a whole. BeSidse, it is futile and
doomed to failure.
This whole problem of justice in
society will never be solved until all
men, or the great majority of men
recognize the existence and peril
hence of the moral law, the sane
lions with which it is invested, and
its binding force in their lives. II

justice, cannot prevail. And If the

TOBACCO HEART

In this column recently I quoted
the view of DR.. Osler written nears
ly fifty years ago.:
"There are three groups OF cases
of so-called tobacco heart: t1rStS
the irritable heart Of smokers
seen particularly in young lads, In
which the symptoms are palpita"
ton, irregularity and rapid &C
ton: secondly, heart pain OF q
sharp, shooting character, which
may be very severe; and thlro1y'
attacks of such severity that they
may deserve the name OF angina.
That is what was known as break
ing it gently, in the gay ninetieS.
have an assortment of pipes and
have tried several brands of fuel
beginning as a tyro in practice
with a mixture extolled by j. M.
Barrie and latterly settling down to
a mixture of my own containing
little Perique and little Latak1a,
but I have not yet tried Angina
Pectorils. 1t is only fair to state,
however, that with the exception OF
season or two on the bowling
green, never smoke while I am at
work or play, only an hour or SO
after dinner in the evening.
Years ago I began smoking ct-
gars right after breakfast in the
morning. I was making a hog of
myself. I switched to pipe.
That was a mistake. warn CT
gar smokers against it. Not against
switching, but against switching to
a pipe. When you prepare for the
switch, which you should for
health's sake, if you ask me, pro-
vide yourself not with pipe, but
with at least three or four, better
half a dozen or more pipes. Change
pipes daily.
All of the cases of tobacco heart
ever saw were cigarette or cigar
smokers. I never saw pipe Smok-
er with tobacco heart. I have seen
pipe smokers with tobacco ambly0-
pia (partial blindness) and partial
color blindness which I believed
(this was merely my opinion) were
due to smoking. Remember, I'm
just plodding old country doctor).
In the medical literature it seems
that the great majority of cases Of
thrombo-angiitis obliterans (arteri-
osclerotic gangrene, obliteratina
thrombo-angiitis of the lower ex-
tremetines, Buerger's disease) occur
in cigarette smokers, and the ma
jority of cases of hyperacidity and
duodenal ulcer complex occur in
cigarette smokers, and the major
ity of cases Of angina pectoris oc-
cur in cigar smokers.
Light my pipe and call me preju-
diced If you will. I sincerely be-
lieve the pipe smoker can avoid
excess, avoid making a hog Of
himself, more easily than can the
cigarette or cigar smoker.
