By JAMES w. BARTON, Md.

A physician is often asked
by adult patients the length Of
time they should sleep, and
his answer, in most cases, is
eight hours. Two cases are
often cited. One is Thomas
Edison who slept about four
hours a night and Woodrow
Wilson who required nine or
ten. Most people forget that
Edison was hard of hearing
and so when he slept he was
not disturbed by noises low
or loud, strange or familiar.
Noise is the worst enemy Of
sleep. With no noise disturbing
his mental efforts, Edison
naturally would De less tired
than if his body muscles were
kept tensed. which is the
natural reaction of the body
to noise. This tensing Of mus
cles in response 10 noise is
natures protection to man,
enabling him to react quickly
should danger arise. He does
not have to draw up the
slack" before he can run or
fight.
Prevents Tifedness
1t is being able to keep body
and mind relaxed that prevents
US from becoming tired too

all together. tenseness of body
disappears and with it often
tenseness or alertness of mind.
Try This
Sometimes, when there is
no noise. no light, no draft, no
heat or cold to keep you
awake, try lying on either side
with arms and legs bent and
your mouth loose and open.
You may snore but you should
get OF to sleep.
Many believe that sleep is q
habit, that you can get out OF
the habit Of normal sleep Just
as you may get out Of the
habit Of normal bowel move
ments. It is natural in either
case to seek relief through
indications. However, we all
know that a natural. normal
habit is the most healthful
one, and therefore try not to
get the habit Of drugs but seek
to regain your own normal
habits.

One of the main points of dis
pute in the congressional contro-
versy over federal school construc-
ton legislation is the method of
apportioning funds to the states.
President Eisenhower's program
calls for variable grants based on
state financial need and the degree
of state effort to meet its needs.
The proposal backed by House
Democrats would provide flat sums
to all states regardless of wealth
or need, solely on school age pop
ulation.
Mr.. Eisenhower called for ST.
300, 100000 in federal grants to the
states over a four-year period
Other features could boost the four
year outlay to nearly $2,25O,OOO,-
900.

mittee that unless increased aid is

This, indeed was a period Of d.

truths and hollow promises -. of
brave arguments and violent re-
buttals. 1t was during this period
that two organizations which have
become the prime champions of So
cial, political and economic equality
for Negroes came into being .
the N.A.A.C.P. and the CLIO.
These groups threw their men,
berships open to anyone who be-
lieved in true democratic principles
and freedom Of opportunity .
and this is what Negroes wanted.
The emergence of a vigorous, in
telligent type of Negro leadership
is~proof that Negro history, as an
uphill fight for freedom, has
reached its third and final stage.
We have seen the ground laid
for ultimate victory by Mary Nc
Leod Bethune, and Walter White.
We have been kept abreast Of de-
velopments by Robert S. Abbott,

We have shown that we have po-

electing five Negro congressman

through Reverend Martin Luther

Such fighters as Nat Turner,
who led a slave rebellion, Phyllis
Wheatley, Sojourner Truth and
Frederick Douglas were, in large
part, responsible for growing
Northern resentment which led to
the Civil War and Emancipation.
These brave crusaders very well
could have considered the abolish
ment of slavery as victory enough
to allow them to rest on their lau-
rels but, those who lived did
not rest. They continued to con-
tribute their aid and counsel in the
critical readjustment that fol-
lowed.
The end of slavery created many
problems for both Negroes and
whites serious problems that
led to friction, violence and the
birth of Jim Grow. BY the begin
ming of the Goth century-almost
so years after Emancipation =
racial relations had reached such
critical point that some compro-
misses were bound to be advanced.
Most of US remember the ap-
breaches to a solution that were
made by Booker T. Washington and
Marcus Garvey. Washington pro-
NOTED theory which, while bring
ing about a climate of interracial
cooperation for the immediate good,
was never intended to serve as a
permanent pattern. Garvey, on the
other hand, hit on the idea of rid
ding white America of its problem
by having all Negroes leave the
country and start their own re-
public in Africa. Garvey attracted
much attention with his U.Nl.A.
movement, but his efforts also gen

ter which is a solvent. AS the
wind blows over the surface of
lakes, streams and other bodies
Of water, the oxygen is taken into
solution for use by living things.
Regulating Temperature
Still another vital function of
water in the bodies of living
things is the regulation of the
body's temperature. This is true
Of both plants and animals. They
have a limited range in tempera-
ture in which they can survive
and function. Man with his rel
atively constant temperature can
not survive changes Of more than
10 degrees or Is degrees F. above
or below normal for more than a
few hours. The heat is regulated,
in part at least, by the evapora-
ton of perspiration.
Plants regulate their tempera-
lures by means of Transportation.
The great quantities of water that
are taken up by the roots, pass
through the stems and leaves and
are evaporated from the leaf sur
face. This is why green leaves
never feel hot on a hot, sunny
day unless it is sick or suffering
from inadequate supply of water.
At such times, plants may run
temperature" above normal of a
few degrees.
The reason for this effect is that
the change of states, that is, from
liquid to gas or vapor requires
much heat. Each gram of water
which is about a thimble full, or
Is drops, requires about $40 cal
cries of heat to make the change.
The heat is taken chiefly from
the animal that is perspiring or
the plant that is transpiring.
Physical Process
Water is one of our most abun-
dant compounds on the surface of
the earth, making up about 70
per cent of its surface. It has a
powerful influence on the earth
that makes it habitable. This is

The World OF Nature
BY John NJ. Frazier

The production of one buShel OF
corn requires 10 to 20 tons of
water during the growing season.
The average corn plant takes up
about 500 times its total dry
weight in water. This would be
true for other grains, some more
as rice, some less as rye and
millet.
1t has been estimated that from
Is to 20 tons of water are required
to produce one pound of beef.
Likewise, other meats require
enormous quantities. A lake of
one acre four feet deep can pro-
duce a greater poundage of fish
than an equal area of good pas
ture can produce Of beef, pork, or
mutton per year;
Some desert animals never take
water in the free state as liquid,
but have the ability to utilize the
combined water that is a part of
their carbohydrate foods.
Functions
Both plants and animals make
many uses of water. Plants gen.
