Published duly by The Siar Publishing Co ~~ Raiered waiter. onthe Bix moniia BhTe The Joy of Sleep Rolton Hall has written a book on sleep, From some 10,000 inquiries, addressed largely to teachers and other pro- fessional workers, it appears that eight hours is still the aver- age required by healthy men, Mr. Hall seems to think that less would do just as well, As to dreams, his statistics are encouraging. About 15 per cent don’t dream at all, 30 per cent dream only rarely, and most of the rest have “rational or pleasant” dreams, Less than 2 per cent confess to nightmare. Sleep is certainly one of the “joys of life,” as the poets have called it, and not the least to be said of it is that it is purely democratic. More ‘people get enough of it than of any other good thing in life.

The labor party gets its strength only in part from trades unions. The rest comes from what is called the “sympathetic vote,” composed of non-wnionists, small tradesmen and small farmers, The labor statesman’s most trying job is to satisfy the radical element among his following without scaring to death the elements that are just reasonably progressive. So far the feat has been done. Just Costly Noise It cost us taxpayers thousands of dollars to have the fleet in Hudson river salute President Taft by firing of cannons, It is all right to salute the president, but why-not safe and sane saluting? The thing could as easily and as honorably be done with flags. But flags don’t make noise, and we are still heath- enish enough to pay for noise. The Chinese, who discovered gunpowder, used it to make noises to frighten the enemy. We are nearly as big fools in using it for its noise in saluting friends. fe've nearly broken the boys’ hearts with our safe and sane Fourth of July, but we haven't got a safe and sane meth- od of paying respects to a mere office.

Then again, we may get a new cook who will know how to serve a more palatable dish.
