Dear Mrs. Kllsbury: Not lanK
oho I waa going homo, and as it
was snowing and wet, a man I
know, a married mun picked mo
up and took mo homo. Ho did
not do it for any reason but to bo
polite and to help mo out whon I
was in tho wet. His wife, who is
a good friend of mino will ' not

catty remarks about mo to hor
friends. Should I go to hor and
have It out with her. ANUUV.

THE LON'CMIKHALUKl) link l'wicc I'laii award uniimiiictil to
day will probably be a disappointment to a majority of tlie
people.
For with over 22,000 plans submitted, something new and startl
ing was naturally expected. The hope that there is some short cut to
peace, some ingenious scheme, that can automatically end the folly of
war, is deeply imbedded in the human mind, and when the people dis
cover that the winning plan offers no such program, there will un
doubtedly be genuine disappointment.
Nevertheless "Plan No. 14G0" deserves very earnest consideration
if for no other reason, because it is endorsed, by such men as Elihu
Knot, Colonel E. M. House, "William Allen White and Brand Whit-
lock ns the best plan out of 22,105 submitted. ; i
' That the award was not influenced by political considerations, is
strongly indicated by the fact that in these four men, tho committee
has two of the most prominent Democrats, and two of tho most promi
nent Republicans in the country.
And to eliminate the political factor in such an endeavor is to
make a long step toward, constructive progress. For it has always
becn-our opinion that participation of the United States in tho League
of Nations was not killed so much by hostile public opinion, as by
partisan politics.
Nevertheless with n political campaign near, there scorns little hope
that this plan will receive the attention it deserves. For as a matter
of fact tho American people lmvo become pretty well disgusted with
the condition of affairs across he water, and for the next year, they
will be much more interested in domestic policies, particularly the
important issues of taxation and economic rceonst miction than in any
program looking to European reconstruction and regeneration.
The plan however, is submitted to the American people for their
approval or disapproval. Along with thousands of other newspapers,
The Mail Tribune is assisting in a referendum by printing a ballot,
which its readers are asked to mark and mail to the American Peace
Award. Therefore, it is the duty of all citizens interested in the
important problem of world peace, to study this proposal and regis
ter their opinion.
v
Our attitude toward the plan is something akin to the attitude we
would have toward a proposal to treat a stricken friend, abandoned
by the doctors, with some new and untried treatment, recommended
by a committee of emiucnt laymen. We would say without hesitation
try it. Try anything. It may do no good, but under the eircum
stances it can do no harm.
Personally wo believe no plan will bring world peace, in the pres
ent stage of human development, until an international force for
peace is created, which at any one time, can be depended, upon to be
greater than any force for war. 13ut we may be mistaken. Wc hope
wc-are. i fiT
So as n plan is here presented which is not only recommended by
an eminent committee of distinguished Americans, but which incor
porates both the main principles of tho Democratic and Republican
peace programs the World Court and a League of Nations, our do
isiou is, go to it.
Wc don't expect, world peace to result, lint as a step toward organ
izing world opinion against war, the plan is certainly worth tho ex
periment.

. Why Do Wo Sleep?
As already mentioned, tho myatcry est mental activity comes toward eve
of normal sloep seems Impossible to n'nS. nnd who ore least efficient in

Is therefore only
partly known yet It
1h worth while for
everybody who ever
has occasion to sleep
to know the physi
ology of sleep as far
as it goes.
Most human tis
sues, the glands par
ticularly, have ai
doing. - Hate to go to bed, and hate
to get up.
"What makes us sleep? That's tho
myHtery. One theory credits the ac
cumulation of acid waste products
such as lactic acid in muscles. This
theory hurmonlzea with the Idea that
honest work or exercise favors sloop.
Next theory attributes sleep to redua
tion of oxygen Bupply to brain cells
below the level necessary .; for con
sclous activity. Another - postulates
ternattng periods of somo specific toxin. Another assumes
activity and - rest, t ?" ui me urum, or uiminisneu

necessary to cause consciousness or
mental activity, sleep occurs. Con
sciousness is more or less completely
lost according to the depth of Bleep.
The most profound or soundest sleep
is about an hour after the beginning
at this time it requires the loudest
noise to awaken the sleeper. The
first few hours of sleep are most re
freshing; tho later hours of sloep are
more shallow and less refreshing. In
the early morning there is a twilight
theories and see whether they have
any practicable use.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Astrlngut
.. Is there anything that will act as an
astringent on the abdomen? Had an
operation for norma over a year ago
and the abdomen seems still flabby,
(M. G. S.) : i
Answor. Suitable exercise to de
velop the flabby muscles will do good,
zone when consciousness is only half i but your physician should advise
lost; it is then that many persons have ! about this. It Is a common fallacy
dreamed of spirits and other phan
tasms which, when they presently
emerge Into fuller consciousness, they
will swear they really saw.
In sloep the eyeballs roll upward
that an astringent will remove wrin
kles or give firmness or tone to flabby
flesh. Of course the only effect an
astringent produces is a temporary
puckering of the mucous membrane,
and outward. The breathing is slower such as alum produces in the mouth

me now and then, and her demeanor gave mo warning that
she might pull tho trick again; "I'll do the job tomorrow morn

struck ten, and still I waited for Hilkins, who did not appear; and
when lie was an hour belated, the old cow hooked mo in the car,
and many sentiments I stated, unfit for publication hero. I later
planned to build a dwelling about the size of yonder kirk, and
liilkins hung around me telling how much ho'd liko to do tho
work; but, indignation in me swelling, I said, "Your pleadings
jar and irk. You promised onco to come a-treading, when you had
chewed your morning chow, and amputate the antlers spreading
on my old guttu percha cow; you failed to come, your promise
shredding, and I can't trust your pledges now. The man whose
words are idly spoken, and then forgotten in a trice, whose prom
