Lauds Australian
Primitive Dances

Observation-Disclosures
can dancer Ted Shawn said in an
interview in Melbourne that Aus
tralians had a treasure" in the
primitive dances of the aborigi-
mes, but failed to realize it.
When he arrived in Melbourne
after seeing an aboriginal corro-
boree at Darwin, Shawn 20 d a
reporter: For pure art, choreog-
raphy and virility of perform
ance this dancing is the highest
level of any primitive dancing
l have seen in the world. If my
whole Australian trip gave me
nothing more than my week in
Darwin, l would still feel my
visit here had been well worth
while"

no explanation.
Now, he said he saw that the
employer must have gotten a
copy of his birth certificate in a
thorough effort to investigate his
fitness.
The entry on the birth record
for occupation of father" was 'In
an insane asylum"
my father was chief psychia-
triSt, not a patient" ruefully ex-
planned the young man.
This incident was related by
Helen C. Huffman, social science
analyst, National Office of Vital
Statistics, u. S. Public Health
Service. Sc says the story illus
trates the unnecessary evil re-
suits of having the registrars Of
flee give out certified copy of
an entire certificate whenever
any of the recorded information
is needed
Some 100000 birth certificates
are issued in the United States
annually. For many this means
tragedy.
Thousands use their certificate
for necessary proof OF age, citi-
zenship and so on. But some
times, says Miss Huffman, the
birth record is also "a public an
ncuncement of a persons illegiti-
macy, of his bad blood because
his mother had syphilis or of his
criminal tendencies because his
father was in a penitentiary at
the time of his birth"
Had vital Statisticians known
a generation ago that same S.
100000 copies of birth certificates
would now be issued annually,
they could have planned better,
she adds.
"They might have forseen what
would happen when the complete
record is placed in anybody's
hands
She says they could have de-
signed the certificate so that it
could be reproduced in sections,
for one thing.
Then a photostat could be
made of the parts a person needs
for a particular purpose and
nothing more. Medical and Stats
teal data could have been placed
in a confidential supplement,
which would never appear in the
certified copy.
I'VE cannot go back and un-
do the harm that was done to
many thousands of people by un-
necessary revealing of informa-
ton that was on their birth GER

Last Question

"Is this the speedometer?"
asked the pretty girl, tapping
the glass with her finger.
Eyes, dear" he replied.
'And that's the clutch?"
That's the clutch, darling"
he said, jamming on his brakes
to avoid a fast approaching truck.
But what on earth is this she
inquired, at the same time giving
the acelerator a vigorous push
with her foot.
'"This DEAR" he said in soft,
celestial voice, lis Heaven" And
picking up the harp he flew
away.

him to sleep best"
If exercises help you. then exercise.
If photograph records talk you to sleep,
use them.
If a warm bath relaxes you, take one before

If any ritual whatever, from reciting the

But don't take sleeping pills without a
doctors prescription" Kleitman warns.
They're not only dangerous, but they do
nothing to remove the real cause of insomnia"
Five Suggestions
lHEN applying years of study of the ''di-
urnal cycle" to the cause of better sleeping,
Kleitman makes five suggestions:
l. Don't break your cycle. Most people
sleep better when they get to bed at the same
time night after night
Z. Try not to be tense at bedtime. Most
bad sleep is the result of emotional or mental
strain
;. If you're sleeping badly. try getting to
bed an hour earlier. Kleitman's studies showed
that people who went to bed early slept longer
Evening star., 1947-06-15
The ordinary problems of sleep, which every

The ordinary problems of sleep, which every
man and woman now face, may soon be
dwarfed by problems that were uninaginable
a few years back. Under the threat of atomic
warfare, War Department experts are consid
ering the possibility that whole cities may
have to live and sleep underground. If a future
war is fought in the Arctic, the War Depart
ment also expects that troops may have to
live and sleep in areas where there is perna-
nent daylight in the summer, and permanent
night in the winter
New Cycles
UNDER these conditions, Kleitman believes
that our present 24-hour cycle, the result of
alternating day and night, may be abandoned.
His experiments at Mammoth Cave, where he
and an associate lived underground for over
30 days, proved that we can adapt ourselves
to new cycles, some of us far more easily than
Others
At Mammoth Cave, 28-hour cycle turned
out to be most satisfactory. But if whole cit
les are forced underground, shorter
cycle, like Is hours, with periods of sleep
coming far more frequently than they do
now, may be best. And for troops in the
Arctic, with permanent daylight in the sum-
mer, and permanent night in the winter, two
separate cycles may be necessary.
But in any case, if the only problem posed
by the Atomic Age were sleep, kleitman feels
sure he could solve it. The End

and got more benefit from their sleep; people
who went to bed after their regular time
usually slept badly.
4 Sleep in bed by yourself Kleitman
realizes that many leading marriage coun-
sellors believe double beds are the backbone
of good marriages, but exhaustive tests indi-
cate you sleep better alone.
s. Test yourself to see whether you're
getting enough sleep. If you wake up just
before your alarm clock rings, you've slept
your quota But if you're dog when the
alarm goes off, get to bed earlier
There is one pessimistic note for the future.
Evening star., 1947-06-15
WHY CAN'T YOU SLEEP?
Continued from page five

Kleitman himself, who has spent Is years
worrying about peoples sleep, has never let
it affect his own. He sleeps soundly, wakes up
on the dot of seven every morning, is at his
Office at the University of Chicago's Abbott
Ha by eight thirty. Even his hobbies are
related. to his study of sleep. When he was
staying awake four and five days at time, he
took up bridge. ''He doesn't play such a
hot game" one of his associates laughed.
''But after being awake for sixty or sew
enty hours, who could?'' During the same
long stretches. Kleitman started going to six
day bike races, the only amusement open all
night. He turned into rabid fan, now goes
just for the fun of it.
The bedrooms of Keitman's house look
as though they were inspired by Rube Gold
bergs fantastic inventions. Kleitman not
only has his own bedspings and mattresses
rugged with instruments, dials and clocks, but
also the beds of his two daughters, who are
now IS and II. At the moment, Kleitman is
studying the effect of raising sleeper's feet
above the level of the rest of the body, and
the ends of all the beds are tilted at five
degree angle. His wife is the sole rebel in the
house She says she knows how to sleep now,
and refuses to let research intride

Next Time-Hire q Hall

An additional report defending the text
book Building Citizenship" has been given
to the Board of Education by the heads OF
the history department in the public
schools The report comes from men who
have devoted large part of their lives to
history teaching in the schools. 1t has
the full Endorsement of the superintendent
of schools. The high character and good
citizenship of these men are above re-
proach. So 1t is to be hoped that the
ridiculous controversy over this book,
brought about by a juvenile contention
that it contains subversive passages, Is
ended
"A COPY of the book has been read in The
Star office, with relation to the passages
under criticism. How these passages could
be tortured into a meaning that Is so
remote from the context passes all under
standing But If the critics continue In
demand for time before the Board of Edu-
cation to pursue their hunt for hidden
meanings, The Star would respectfully
suggest that they be given all the time
they want If it would mean a special
meeting of the Board of Education, let
such a meeting be held. Let hall be
hired Let the passages be read and re-
read in stentorian tones, with insistence
that they be coupled with what goes before
and what comes after the passages. Let
the public be invited to hear it all.
For in this manner the education given
to our children might be shared with
adults. In the circumstances one is forced
to the reluctant conclusion that the adults
stand in need of sharing this education
with the children.

Relief for ArIington's Voters

They may belong to different parties and
factions, but the majority of Arlington's
voters are united in one cause.-The move
ment for modernization of the county's
outmoded election machinery. Despite the
best efforts of precinct officials, many
voters in last Tuesdays election had to
wait for irksomely long periods before their
chance came to use polling booth. Some
gave up in disgust and others had the
doors closed against them at 6 pm, al
though they had arrived at the polls
ahead of closing time.
There were just not enough booths to
handle the crowds at some of the pre-
cincts. The long and confusing ballots
took time to mark and required hours to
check and tabulate. Some of the men
and women engaged in the counting were
on duty all night and were near exhaustion
before the official count was obtained.
Final results of the election were not avail
able for more than "a hours.
1t is in an effort to prevent recurrence
of such conditions that the County Demo-
cratic Committee. the Arlington Better
Government League, the League OF Women
Evening star., 1947-11-08

Voters and other groups are demanding
election procedure reforms. 1t is obvious
from what happened this week that some
of Arlingtons precincts should be divided,
with additional facilities installed for han
ding the votes and the voters. This re-
districting should be started without fur
ther delay If, in addition, voting machines
were installed, the elective process would
be speeded up that much more. Arlington's
harassed electorate is certainly entitled to
better treatment than 1t has received in
the past in trying to exercise its rights OF
suffrage.

Aooinst the People

Some day the women of this country
ought to do something about the iniqultous
tax on oleomargarine. 1t is an iniquitous
tax because it Is punitive tax, tax
designed to weaken the competition of
oleomargarine against butter and tax
which is in the interests of one group-the
dairy industry. The women would be the
ones to stage the revolt. They have to do
the shopping. And when they buy oleo-
margarine, as so many of them are doing
these days they have to color 1t them
selves. They have to color 1t themselves
because the Federal Government levies
tax of 10c pound on colored oleo-a tax
to discourage its sale as substitute for
butter.
During the war oleomargarine had two
advantages The price was lower and.
what was even more important, 1t re-
quired fewer ration points. Tens OF
thousands of housewives switched to
oleomargarine and found it an adequate
substitute for butter. number of the
States suspended or reduced their taxes
on oleomargarine, because the people de-
manded it. But when the Senate voted
January IT, 1944), on proposal to sus-
pend the 10c tax on colored oleo, the
proposal was defeated almost two to one.
The vote was a reflection of the strength
Of the dairy interests.
When oleomargarine first came on the
market as a substitute for butter most
of the State Legislatures and Congress
ratonalzed the tax by the argument that
1t was not as nourishing as butter and
that its sale would result in dietary de-
flcencieS There was some truth in the
argument But modern manufacture Of
oleomargarine includes it's enrichment
by adding vitamins A and D. The Ameri-
can Public Health Association at its last
meeting in Atlantic City adopted resolu-
ton containing the statement that "Sci-
entific evidence has shown that enriched
oleomargarine supplies the food factors
usually expected of butter"
The tax on margarine is burden i'm
posed by minority on the majority OF
Americans. 1t is nothing more nor less
than a racket and it is disgraceful, with
all the tall talk about lowering the high
cost of living, that it is permitted any
where to remain. The Government should
be helping instead of hindering in the
discovery of ways to cut to the cost of
food.
