EY beyibs)s 2) OL00! THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) WHEN YOU SLEEP Jack Britton, former welterweight champion offers $10,000 to any one who can make him sleep normally. He’s had insomnia for a year. Many pugilists have it only in the ring. ’ “It’s nervous trouble,” says Britton. “Training for 20 years has proved too much. While I haven’t any particular designs on getting the title back, I figure I can still box a lot if I can get to sleep. If I can’t, I'll be forced to quit.” Jack, why don’t you try reading the Congressional Record? If you have ever tossed at night, unable to drown this nerve-stabbing life in deep sleep, you sympathize with Britton. We spend a third of: our lives in bed. And the incalcuable value of sound sleep is realized only by the chronic victim of insomnia. Do you find, on the average, that your waking life is more’ delicious than the perfect calm of sleep? Considering the joy with which we close our eyes and rest our weary bodies and tired brajns at night, it is a trifle strange how many dread the final sleep, death. Sir Basil Thomson, former head of Scotland Yard detec- tives, has solved many mysteries of crime. .None of them was a millionth as mysterious as sleép. ar Claperedo had a theory, that nature makes us sleep to prevent us from killing ourselves by exhaustion. The Coriat school of physicians believes that sleep is sim- ply a relaxation of all muscles, necessary to rid our bodies of poisons accumulated while awake. A third theory, by Dr. Boris Sidis, is that monotony is the cause of sleep. When life no longer is interesting enough to keep us awake, we chloroform ourselves with slumber. If so, we sleep because our subconscious minds get bored rather dull life on earth. It is one of the most baffling enigmas of nature, is sleep. Also, one of the greatest forms of real wealth, or fortune. Dollars and fame lose their lure when natural sleep is denied chronically. SS PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. “GOOD READING” Only 6863 new books were published last year in Amer- ica. You wonder why the “only.” It seems a lot. But in 1921 the total was 10,310. Figures along this line mean much to any one trying to watch the activity of the American brain in its alternating cycles of stimulation and decay. A falling-off of a third in the number of new books pub- lished, however, doesn’t necssarily reveal the amount of reading being done by the public. For instance, 100 new books selling an average of 1000 copies each or a total of 100,000 copies, do not mean as much as one good book selling 150,000 copies. The public unquestionably read more books last year than the year before. That might not show up in the total number of volumes sold, for at least five times as many peo- ple borrow books as buy new copies. The drop in the number of new books issued last year does mean that publishers are selecting manuscripts more carefully before puting their money and sales organizations back of them. ; 6 Fewer new works of fiction are being published than in 1892. The movies explain that. They supply fiction without the bother of wading through type. On the average, one hour of movies produce more genuine diversion, entertain- ment and relaxation than 10 hours of printed fiction. The poets and dramatists seem to be getting a larger EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced inthis column may orn the opinion of Th are presented here our readers may have both sides of important issues which are eing discussed in the press of the day, Credit, as used in the most generous and potent of {all economic utilities in strength- jening the commercial power and (promoting the prosperity of indi- j viduals, It enters into almost every continuous transaction of business and industrial life.

The trouble is that, in the labyrinth of new books, a reader is rather dazed about which few to peruse. News- | -paper editors sense this, and the old-time book review de- partment is returning to favor. A movie explaining the Einstein theory is given its first American showing in New York. Most of the audience “went away with the theory still as clear as mud. ruth. Quickest and easiest way to get knowledge is in pic- _tures. One intelligent cartoon says more than a page of tion.
