AGREAT deal is being said and written about sleep these days, because rest--unbroken sleep--is a great builder in children and a great restorer of energy in adults. The fact that infants sleep nearly all the time is nature's method of preserving the energy for growth and development. The kicking and squirming of infants for the short time they are awake seem to give them all the "exercise" they need. Just how long should children sleep? The Ontario Department of Health; in one of their series for mental health clinics, give these figures: Birth to six months--18 to 10 hours. Six months to two years--16 hours. Two years to six years--12 hours. Six years to 10 years--11 hours. Ten years to 14 years--10% hours. Fourteen years tq 18 years--10 hours. Regarding the first two years of life, the most important rule in developing healthy sleeping habits is to leave the child alone. Make sure the baby's needs in regard to nourishment, waste from bowels and bladder, and clothing are looked &ft£r at regular hours. Then, if the baby cries, be satisfied that he is comfortable and do not interfere. A definite routine for sleeping, waking, food and toilet should be established from the b e g i n n i n g . T h i s should be. changed only to suit the needs of the growing child. Regular Habits Should Be Built. As children grow older, a definite hour for going to bed is advisable and he should go to bed the same hour every night. In regard to exercise, the youngster should be allowed, at regular ^hours if Rossible, to roll, squirm, luck and stretch without too much clothing to hamper these exercises. Daytime rests or naps are advisable/ .up to the fifth year, right after the noon meal if possible. Room should be well ventilated, bed clothing light, soft, and warm. Light and sounds should be avoided as much as possible if they attract his attention. . , * • • Hoty Hunger May. Affect Behavior "'"THE man was on trial for attempted manslaughter and brutal maltreatment which he had committed after he had been without food for about a day. The accused did not recall having committed the criminal acts and investigations revealed that the brutalities represented the release of accumulated feelings of resentment on a day on which the accused (a) had been without food, (b) on which he had suffered severe headaches, and (c) on which he had been unjustifiedly accused and deliberately made jealous by his fiancee." I am quoting from Drs. B. Stokvia and A. Nearebout in Scandinavian Medical Journal, Stockholm. There may be a few who would say that the idea of justifying a brutal deed because the accused is hungry is ridiculous and just another "medical" way of trying to prevent criminals from being punished. However, it is a known fact that when you are hungry, real hungry, the amount of sugar in the blood gets low and, with this low amount of blood sugar, consciousness begins to fade so that you might easily forget what you are doing. Sugar and Behavior. Drs. Stokvia and Nearebout investigated the possibility of consciousness and behavior being affected by lack of sugar in the blood due to starvation on 10 healthy persons. They found (a) that hunger is followed by a reduction of sugar in the blood, (b) hunger causes a reduction in consciousness in proportion to the lack of sugar in the blood. They therefore believe that the reduction and change in the consciousness of healthy individuals due to hunger should be taken into consideration in estimating the behavior of delinquents who have committed criminal acts during hunger. • • • QUESTION BOX Q---Is the injection of hernia considered a good method of treatment? A.--Yes. In about 15 per cent of cases: that is, about one in every six or seven cases is considered suitable for this method. Surgery is the best method in the majority of eases.

Keeping Up wn9ii§cien4e • SctMM* Service.--WNV Benrlc*. Five Hurricanes May Be Expected Yearly In Southeast States Washington, August 14--Bitter de- WASHINOTON.--An average of five hurricanes a year sweep from their birthplace in the doldrums of the tropical Atlantic toward the southeastern and gulf states, but usually only one of this number is severely destructive. The most destructive known was that which caused the Galveston disaster in 1900. Even then, most of the 6,000 lives lost were taken by a tidal wave which rushed upon the stricken city after the hurricane had left it helpless. Since that time Miami and Palm Beach have felt the effect of the West Indian hurricane and millions have been lost in property damage but comparatively few lives taken. The hurricane of the western hemisphere is the same as the typhoon of the eastern hemisphere. A majority of both begin in practically the same way in a calm region of hot, humid atmosphere, one in mid-Atlantic and the other in mid-Pacific. Heated air rises through cooler and heavier layers and sets up the initial whirl, it is thought. The storm then moves off and gathers volume as it goes. High Velocities Reached. It is an extensive disturbance often hundreds of miles in diameter and has a dead area of practically no wind at its center, but in the whirl enormous velocities are reached. A velocity of 123 miles an hour was recorded during a hurricane at Miami, September 18, 1926. The hurricane travels for about 10 or 15 miles an hour over most of its course. It holds to the same course for days, but this is hard to predict because reports are usually meager as the hurricane comes from an unfrequented part of the ocean. It was a hurricane that brought the heaviest 24-hour rainfall ever recorded in the United States. This was at Taylor, Texas, September 9-10, 1921, where a fall of 23.11 inches of water occurred. Hurricanes and typhoons are nature's most powerful storms. Such a storm will expend in a day's time enough energy to run all the power plants of the earth for several years. This enormous power comes largely from the latent heat of condensation of the heavy rainfall which always accompanies the storm, scientists now believe. The necessary water vapor is thought to be supplied by winds which blow continually to the hurricane. In the northern hemisphere, because of the earth's rotation, a hurricane or typhoon spins in a counterclockwise direction, but in the southern hemisphere it turn* clockwise.

There is goiiwhling among veterans in both camps. Evidence that feuds will not be scotched is contained in edition of the Congressional Record, which contains factional propaganda.

I.--The galaxy of stars containing the earth and the sun, often thought of as a flat disk in space, is not as thin as it may seem. It would take light at least 100,000 years to cross the galaxy at its thickest part even though light travels at approximately 186,000 miles a second, said Dr. Harlow Shapley, director of Harvard College observatory, at the meeting of the American Association of Variable Star Observers, held at Brown university's Ladd observatory. A survey of 2,300 Cepheid variable stars of the cluster type, having periods of less than a day, made possible the new estimate of the shape of the galaxy. Our galaxy actually is surrounded by a thinly-populated spherical aura or halo of stars, Doctor Shapley added. In this it resembles the Andromeda nebula, one of the nearest of the spiral nebulae. The isolated star most remote from the plane of the Milky Way, known as BE Virginia, is distant 130,000 light years. dates sound off on domestic and foreign affairs. The Congress is now in a dither as they are whiplashed by powerful minority group's propaganda over the pending legislation. The legislators are frankly bewildered by the issue. Th political risks of voting on a measure which will require millions of young men to register for service with the Army are well known, ft accounts for the efforts of some legislators to postpone the whole matter until the January session. Indications are that the subject, so vital to the nation, cannot be easily sidetracked in a critical period. The plea that Congress is tired from a long session apparently is unconvincing to the home folks as Congressional mail shows the constituents expect the solons to stay on the job as a public service. The Capitol Hill boys are more harassed than fatigued. The passage of the compulsory training bill, which is expected soon, will throw many difficult problems into the hands of the War Department. To a certain extent they have tentative man-power plans in anticipation of the draft law. Admittedly woefully short of equipment with which to train the draftees, the Army will be obliged to utilize make-shift schemes until deliveries of mechanical mater- ^ ials is effected. For instance, the few! ^ V hundred tanks will be inadequate to! e * acquaint new soldiers with their operations. Instead, heavy tractors will be pressed into service on the theory that a military tank is nothing more than a heavily armored tractor. Other dummies will "be used in maneuvers. There is nothing strange in this procedure for it has been established that German armies practiced the arts of war under similar shortages of actual weapons. National Guard officers have testified that absence of actual equipment handicapped recruiting for their outfits to such an extent that they could not keep the Guard up to its authorized strength. Out of the welter of Congressional debate it was learned that trainees would be sent to new camps which will be located in areas best suited by climate and availability of large spaces for maneuver purposes. Advocates of compulsory training attempted to answer the charges that compulsion was repugnant to the democratic principles by calling attention to involuntary jury duty, forced education and tax paying. The protection of trainees' civil rights, particularly return to their jobs, will probably be retained as a safeguard. It is officially estimated that it will cost about $400 per year to maintain a trainee for the full course. The mehanical equipment is, of course, an sxtra item which Uncle Sam will meet. The job protection factor is alsoi important in the procurement field. The National Defense Advisory Commission is working on plans to secured the ce-operation of skilled workers ' who now oppose transfers from their' present jobs to posts where their skill may be utilized to greater advantage for the production of essential war supplies.

The Malays believe that children can acquire the characteristics of birds by eating them. So they feed king-crows and shrikes to infants, to make them lively and communicative. Dull, lazy children are compelled to eat fan-tailed flycatchers, which are very active, industrious birds. A great deal of destruction of bird life is wrought through the Malay fondness for pets. Children are given young storks, bulbuls, pigeons and starlings to play with--naturally, with ultimately fatal rffiftltg Jto the birds. j winners* 5 a* • A N M i V F R S A R r tsssooe ^STARS H/TES BEFORE day for EVERY NITE •mittjSI T» .*£!, HorticuU«»t *** Hon**"* . •(.*•>* Biui lndutt"«l WLS NATIONAL MM DAN0E JIMMIE L Y N C H Ml etmplet* WORLD'S FAIR D E A T H BOOGERS SAT.
