For people who sleep out
loud a man in Chicago has de-
veloped a gadget which he
claims will make sleep as silent
as Indian smoke signals. II the
Windy City man is right, the
snore will soon be a lost sound
effect. People who keep track
of those things claim there
are 100000 900 snore artists in
the u. S. That's a lot of sleep
interference. Unfortunately, the
lad who does the snoring isn't
the one who stays awake. The
only time that happens is
when two snorers are bunkng
in the same room and one
gets to sleep first. Let's hope
the Chicago mans gadget
works. What this country
needs is a good nights rest.
