Can Man Exist W ithout S Jeen ? Continued from Fifteenth Page “Do you think there will come a time when human beings will be able to go on in- definitely without sleep?” Herpin was asked. “Yes, I do, and I think the sooner that day arrives the better it will be. Mind you, I'm not saying that everybody willsbe able to go with- out sleep altogether, bu do say that they will sleep less than one-quarter of the time they do now. You know, man wastes a lot of time through the sleep habit. “Otf course, you know that some geniuses have slept only half the time an ordinary man does. Consider Thomas Edison or Napoleon.” Herpin has learned that there are seven other persons whose cases have been similar to his. “People think I'm the only sleepless man in the world. That's what makes my case so un- belicvable to them. But there have been at least seven cases of which I have known or read. The most recent.case is that of a war veteran, Paul Kern, in Hungary, who hasn’t slept for 15 years. The only difference is that each of these sleepless persons at some time of his life has slept normally, then suddenly stopped for 5, 10 or 20 years. That should make their cases more interesting than mine. They must have a hard time of it. Since I have never slept I don’t know what I'm miss- Herpin’s big surprise was elicited by the ques- . tion of whether he thought that he would ever go to sleep. “Yes, I do,” he responded with a readiness which showed that he had previously consid- ered the possibility. “I'll go to sleep some day, and when I do it will cause my death. I have records here which show that people who haven't slept for years never regain conscious- ness when finally they do go to sleep. That's the way I'll go.” The peculiar case of Paul Kern of Budapest, mentioned by Herpin, is the result of a bullet wound sustained in the World War. He re- ceived a scalp wound which rendered him un- conscious. Upon recovering he was troubled with unceasing headaches and could not sleep. After months of agony the headaches disap- peared, but with their cessation Kern felt no desire to sleep. He tried liquors, drugs and many kinds of 34 Evergreen tree. 50 Measure of length. 35 High card. 51 Oil of rose petals: 39 Heaped. var., 40 Scoffed. 54 Priestly tribe of. 41 Abashed by a sense Israel. of guilt or impro- 56 Rodent. 57 Head. sleeping potions, but to no avail; sleep would not come. Finally he gave up the struggle and settled down to finding a solution of how to keep himself occupied 24 hours a day. At first he spent so much money for food .and recreation that he was obliged to take on a night job to supplement his regular daily, work. This, however, proved to be too ex- -hausting for him. Although he had no inclina- tion to sleep, the second job fatigued him and he had to give it up. Like Herpin, Kern has no desire to again achieve the habit of sleeping. He has regulated his existence on a 24-hour basis and would lose much of the time he now devotes > reading if he were to sleep a third of each day. Since his injury 15 years ago Paul Kern has gained 30 pounds in weight. He is an able and efficient worker and has shown no signs of either >hysical or mental deterioration, according to the testimony of eminent European specialists. (Copyright, 1930.) Ohio Farm Figures. ONLY four counties in the State of Ohio held their own in the matter of farm . era- tion during the period 1925 to 1930, all hers showing losses in farms in operation, rs gzing from Allen County’s loss of 1.2 per cent up to Cuyohago County’s 54 per cent. The four to show a slight increase were Butler County, Gallia County, Marion County and Morgan County. Even these four, gaining for the five- year period, showed a loss for the 10-year period from 1920 to 1930. Rivals in Mica Output. LEADER.SHIP in mica production is a see-saw affair between North Carolina and New Hampshire. Between them these two States dominate the field, only eight others producing any mica, and that production being in small quantity. Out of the 2,034,928 pounds produced in 1929 North Carolina turned out 984,200 pounds and New Hampshire 984,778. During 1927 North Carolina was first. Spaghetti Production. WHILE figures are lacking on the total length of all the spaghetti, vermicelli and noodles manufactured "in this country during 1929, from the total weight, 555,000,000 pounds, it appears that if all the pieces were placed end to end and started in a westerly direction from any given point a young man would be stepping on his beard before he could walk to the final piece. Macaroni, spaghetti, vermicelli and plain or water noodles totaled 505,000,000 pounds, while egg noodles were produced to the exten$ of approximately 50,000,000 pounds. 24 Printer's measure.
