This fear was only natural, The treaty was drawn up to end « naval race which, in the years immediately after the armistice, had become both expensive and dangerous—especially dangerous, in view of the object les- eon which 1914 had provided as to the probable fruits of unrestrained competition in naval armaments. If the treaty dies, the way 1s open for @ new race to begin. Nevertheless, the outlook today is by no means as perilous as one might suppose. For the one saving factor in the situation is a simple bit of {cept another Napoleonic regime, and gram for the “authoritarian democ- Tacy” which would result. France has another pretender, in- cidentally—a descendant of the Bour- bons, Every European country which used to have a king and has none now has its pretenders. Most of them are taken seriously by no one but themselves; but their own extreme seriousness is great enough to make up for this neglect— and, incidentally, to be pretty funny. Man Still Responsible A &t. Louls man has just learned that the old common law presump- tion that a man is responsible for the acts of his wife can still be invoked. A &t.

Americans Are Becoming Articulate Hettinger County Herald) American people, who seemingly have been exceptionally submissive during recent years have taken to speaking their minds, a healthy sign of rugged individualism. Note the trend, The New Deal has been taken very much for granted. It seemed the people would say no to nothing proposed by the admin- istration for the good of America. Then came the World Court question and Americans at once became ar- ticulate, Father Coughlin went on the air, newspapers spoke out loud in print and the people said it with telegrams.

But illness of- ten causes insomnia, and various ‘vague or moderate impairments of health to which it is difficult to give '@ definite name, commonly account for restlessness, disturbed sleep or poor sleep. But I do not wish to imply that impairment of health or illness is the only cause of insomnia or wakefulness, for we all know that any number of casual conditions may spoil one's sleep.

No question that the person who is able to let go, settle dovin, compose himself and relax completely is a good sleeper and en- joys his slecp and is refreshed by it. But how to relax? Well, that's a foolish question, at least it seems foolish to me. But wiser doctors than I am have said # great deal about it, and some of the things they say are sound and helpful. Dr. Edmund Jacobson published an in- teresting and instructive book on| “Progressive Relaxation” (University of Chicago Press) in 1939, in which he expounds the science of relaxing as part of the treatment of divers) complaints, One good way to relax, I think, is by means of belly breathing.

M) Answer—I have left ‘all the crust I could, many a time, but not when I encounter Martha's pie. The obses- sion against pie crust as being “too rich” is all right for sedentary folk who are probably overnourished any- way. For healthy children or for honest working people it is silly to pass up good pie, for pie is the very best of food, and actual tests have proved that It digests as readily as any other food or equal nutritive value, Painting I saw an article of yours where it sald good ventilation is necessary when any one is painting. I have worked for years as a furniture fin- isher... (D. 8. 8) Answer—The solvents—toluol, xylol, nitrobenzene, wood alcohol, anilin ofl, used in various paints, enamels, la- ‘equers, are quite poisonous when in- haled.
