Do Indians ever stutter
Answer Practically never re-
ports John C Sncdlcor of the Uni-
versity of California in the Quar-
terly Journal of Speech He inter-
viewed 800 American Indians and
got reports on 1000 others but could
find only two halfbreeds with
speech difficulties in fact he
learned that two Indian dialects
Work Can
Cure Insomnia
By Lavrente Gould
Can you work yourself to sleep
Answer Yes I do it regularly
For whatever glvei you a sense of
security will help you to sleep once
you are tired and It you get this
tense from the knowledge that
youve done a good job or made
progress at one you may find that
working the last thing before you
go to bed puts you to sleep as noth-
ing else will Out If your job Is Uls
tasteful or If youre Inclined to
worry over how well you have done
It some form of escape like read-
ing a detective story will be likely
to prove more effective In making
you sleepy
have no word meaning to stutter
He says one possible reason Is that
Indians dont try to make lefthand
ed children use their right hands
while another is that children who
are Injured at birth dont have much
chance of surviving
Can mankind be freed from
superstition
Answer I very much doubt It
For Its not by chance that people
adopt superstitious Ideas Its be-
cause they cannot get along with
out them There are many men
and women who would be unable
to face lifes uncertainties without
some sort of guarantee of getting
through them safely and whether
this guarantee comes from a lucky
penny or a rabbits foot makes lit
tle difference because if they did
not have one charm they would
invent another Superstition will
survive until men become more
self reliant than seems probable for
centuries to come

KEEPING HEALTHY
Snorers Are Unfair fo Others
By Dr James
THERE arc many who are al-
lergic to noise When on a train
or In a hotel room an individual
occupies a berth or room close to
a snorcr he may lose much sleep
Of course by knocking on the side
of the berth or on the door he may
waken the snorer temporarily but
the latter soon returns to his snor-
ing
Alost Individuals arc told
about snoring by their fkmlly
or friends and It Is only fair
that they should make an effort
at least to break the habit
Dr Ian G Robinson In Pro-
ceedings Royal Society of Medi-
cine England states that snor
lng may be treated by
1 Removal or prevention of ob-
struction of the nose which causes
mouth breathing as by the use of
a solution for the nose before re-
tiring This solution may be one
of the various preparations that
shrink the lining of the nose It is
the swelling of this lining tissue
that causes the blocking of the
W Baron
nose and consequent mouth brcatn
ing The use of the new drug
benadryl Is also recommended for
this purpose Some keep the nos-
trils open by the use of a simple
salt solution a half teaspoonful to
a glass of warm water
2 Frevcnting the patient
from sleeping on his back by
sewing a cotton padding In the
back of his pajamas
3 Keeping the mouth closed dur-
ing sleep by a strip of adhesive
tape across the corner of the
mouth
4 Removing Infected tonsils
which prevent the pillars at the
back of the throat from vibrat-
ing
0 Cutting a part of the uvula
away and preventing It from vi-
brating lowers the degree and the
pitch sound of the snore but does
not preent it entirely
It Is not too much to ask those
who snore to do this much for those
who cannot sleep because of this
bad habit

NEEDLEWORK PATTERNS
Bread crusts left over after
the preparation ol certain dishes
should be dried and made into
crumbs then stored In the refrig-
erator in a covsred jar
When making clothes for chil-
dren buy an extra card ot match-
ing buttons for each garment Such
buttons arc priceless when it comes
time to replace lost buttons
Few patterns for little girls call
for a placket opening Into the skirt
but a sash just cant pull in and
conceal excessive inches of dress
material a zipper In a placket and
two waistline darts front and back
will make a surprising improve-
ment In the fit and appearance ot
the garment
Baked potatoes should be care-
fully timed in baking and promptly

A coat of spar varnish applied to
wooden drain boards in the kitchen
will provide an extremely durable
