GOOD NIGHT S SLEEP
IMPORTANT TO LIFE

Austin. June 10.—Sleep is a
necessity of life and health, and ha-
bitual loss of sleep will tend to re-
tard the body's recovery from the
fatigue of the day's activities, ad-
vises Dr. John W. Brown, State
Health Officer.
' The average healthy adult," he
said, "spends about one-third of his
life in sleep. Far from being a waste
of time, this one-third of your life
spent in restful sleep will make pos-
sible a happier, healthier, and longer
lift.
"We may be able to go without
sleep for a night or two, but too lit
tie sleep for a prolonged length of
time will underline the health of
rugged person and turn a cheerful
individual into a cross, irritable one.
When good health can be maintained
to such a large degree by merely
sleeping and thus allowing over-
taxed bodies and minds to regain a
proper balance, it is hard to under
stand why so many persons are heed-
less of this necessary requirement of
a balanced program! of life.
"Some individuals need more sleep
than others, and the most valuable
experiments in this line are the %nes
each person makes on himself. Wf
must each take into consideration in
this experiment, however, that how
weil we sleep is as important as how
long we sleep. A 'good night's rest'
means a sufficient number of hours
spent in sleep to enable each in-
dividual to foel well, do efficient
work, and to keep in a cheerful
humor the next day.
"Some exercise out of doors each
day will help us to sleep soundly at
night. Wu must also have fresh air
in our sleeping quarters. Give as
much consideration as possible to the
comtfort of your bed and bedclothes.
Do not Mull over your problems and
ideas afTer you have gone to bed.
Make your plans early in the evening
for a good night's rest by slowing
down from the physical and mental
work of your daily life. iWhen you
arise each morning rested and wit)! a
feeling of general well being, you
will be amply repaid for your
thought in planning a 'good night's
sleep.' "

PLAYING THE GAME
Many rules for the government of
human conduct have been laid down,
and all of them have been broken.
Still, it isn't a bad idea to think
about some of them occasionally, and
if possible give the sensible ones a
trial. '
An exchange prints a few, at-
tributed to Walter Johnson, famed
baseball pitcher and manager, and
while they particularly apply to the
game of baseball, the principles en-
unciated are equally applicable to the
game of life in general. Johnson
says:
"Play fair; be on the level.
"Have respect for discipline.
"Never alibi for failure; accept the
breaks of the game as they come.
"Grit your teeth and bear down
when things loolt toughest.
"Don't criticize fellow players.
"Live cleanly.
"Never quit!" I
HORSE CABS IN NEW YORK
The nation's metropolis seems to
be the first to take up new things
and the last to discard the old. It is
said that NewYork was the last city
to entirely do away with horsedrawn
street cars and a recent writer states
that here are still 27 horse-drawn
cabs in the big town.
He names Benjamin Solomon, now
old and bent, as dean of the surviv-
ing Fifth Avenue cabbies. Among
his former customers were the one-
time world's champion heavy-weights
Sullivan, Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
Solomon has driven a cab since he
was 18 and his father was a cabman
before him. But Solomon's son drives
a motor taxicab.
It is just a little more than 100
years since J. A. Hansom introduced
the vehicle which afterwards became
known as the hansom cab, for the pa-
tents on which he is said to have re-
ceived $50,000, a tidy fortune in
those days. In much less than a cen-
tury from now many of the marvels
of the present will be as obsolete as
the once popular hansom cab.

ORIGIN OF ODD PRICES
We are so pccustomed to articles
in stores priceJ at 98 cents, $1.49,
and other odd-penny amounts that
few persons give any thought to
what once was considered a freakish
idea of price-making.
But G. H. Cilley, a well-known
store advertising manager, tells in a
recent article that the custom arose
from the solution of a very practical
problem by a shrewd mlerchant.
IWhen Captain Roland H. Macy
got tired of sailing the briny deep as
a sea captain and started a store in
New York, there were no cash reg-
isters or other means for checking
up his clerks. Money received for
purchases was put in an oldfashion-
ed cash drawer which made no rec-
ords, and the practice of "knocking
down," a euphemism for plain steal-
ing by clerks, was quite prevalent.
Macy changed all prices to odd
cent amounts, established cashiers to
make the required change, and kept
a close watch on the cashiers. His
advertisements of these odd prices
seemed to strike the public eye fav-
orably, and he got a great response.
What was at first only an expedient
to keep from being robbed developed
into a potent psychological appeai to
his customers.
Thus the odd-price has survived
many years after the original reason
for its adoption ceased to exist.
1929 FORD COUPE—Lots of miles
left in this rare bargain. Tires in
good condition and motor runs per-
fect. For the modest price we ask,
it's a real value. (!"7C fhft

1929 OAKLAND COUPE—Here's a
good value that will be appreciated
by the economical buyer. Motor in

rubber. Get this at only
$65.00

good shape for more service. If you
need a truck, come in and look this
good buy over.

CITIES RENAMED.
Those of us who got our smatter-
ing of political geography back in
the nineth century have seen much
of it repealed by the changes which
have followed the World war.
The map of Europe as we imper-
fectly knew it is now something
vastly different. Ths names of sev-
eral of the world's most famous
capitals have been changed, some
of them twice.
St. Petersburg was changed to
Petrograd early in the World War,
and after the rise of Lenin to power
it was called Leningrad, and so re-
trains, although it is no longer the
capita! of Russia. Norway's capital,
Christiana, revetted to its ancient
name of Oslo. Pekin or Peking was
changed to Peiping.
The old favorite spelling test, Con-
stantinople. has been abolished, and
that Turkish city, no longer the cap-
ital, is known as Istanbul, after dis-
carding at various times its former
names of Stamboul, Byzance, Byzan-
tium, etc.
But there is no likelihood that the
name of our own Washington will be
changed for a long time to come.
