The man who I works all day I with his brain is likely at I night to oe too i "lit up" men tally to sleep. This Is partic- 'r j ularly true of Alvarez the man who works with his brain in the evenings. The man who works all day with his muscles can usually drop off to sleep right after supper because he is tired all over. An important point that V was never taught in college Is that there are two main types of insomnia: one in which the person's only trou ble is to get to sleep around 10 p.m., and the other, in which the person wakes, per haps at 4 or S a.m., and then cannot get to sleep again. There are some people who . from early infancy are good sleepers while others are poor sleepers. Some people keep waking and going to sleep again all night, while others sleep like a log and perhaps can hardly be waked at seven. Many old people are forced to get up half a dozen times a night by an irritable blad der. Some people lie awake much of the night trying to solve some life puzzle or try ing to decide what to do about some urgent matter. They ought to try to learn to do their thinking and deciding during the day, I know this is far from easy because many a time I have had to struggle to force a problem out of my mind. But with much self-discipline one can learn the trick. Muscles Contracted Many persons cannot get to sleep because their muscles are tense and perhaps even contracted. Their head is not even resting on their pillow. If the person could relax and slay relaxed he might sleep. A man of this nervous type ought to spend quiet evenings at home, doing nothing that will add to his feelings of ten sion and fatigue. Many mothers develop In somnia during years when with perhaps an asthmatic child they learned to sleep "with one ear open." Some married people develop in somnia partly because they share a bed, and when they wake and would like to thrash around or sit up and read a while, they cannot do it. They do not want to wake the spouse. Some women cannot sleep because of a husband's snoring. Other persons are kept awake by the pain of arthritis and others feel wide awake because in the evening they drank too much coffee, which is a brain stimulant, or so much water that their bladder keeps waking them. A person who is kept awake by intesti nal gas may get relief from this by emptying his bowel (perhaps with an enema) just before he goes to bed. Many persons who wake around five with a bad cough ing spell might cure this early morning insomnia by giving up cigarettes. Insomnia that comes suddenly in later life can be due to a little stroke. Severe Insomnia can be due to a toxic goiter or, in the cases of women, to the frequent hot flashes of a hard menopause. For most persons with a severe insomnia, I recommend the use of a barbiturate, Many of us physicians are too much afraid of these drugs. I am not, because in the last SO years I have seen only a few undisciplined eccentrics, per haps alcoholics, who when giv en a dozen pills took half of them the first night; they did not have good sense. Often It is a good plan to go to bed and read for an hour before hoping to get to sleep. Usually an experienced insom niac can tell a few minutes after going to bed if he has any chance of getting to sleep. If he hasn't, he had better take a pill. Quite a few married insomniacs tell me that if the spouse will read to them for IS minutes, they will go to sleep; the reading keeps their minds off their problems. Obviously Asleep ' People who suffer from in somnia should know that of ten when they think they have been awake for an hour, the spouse can tell them that they spent much of the time breath ing heavily obviously asleep. It is a good idea not to be panicky about losing sleep; great fear of insomnia can keep a persop awake. In many cases, an Insomniac should get out of a double bed and sleep alone where he can toss about when he wants to. Persons who tend to have nightmares should keep a food diary to see if their bad sleeping is due to the eating of some particu lar food for supper. Some time a glass of port wine or a pint of beer will bring bleep. A barbiturate should be pre scribed by the person's physl- .

J 'I - w"c fcVEWY TOM si 150 Students Are Expected at Tourney Ashland - One-hundred and fifty high school speakers - the largest group ever to at tend a Southern Or' g o n Speech Conference - will de bale the Issue concerning the adoption of a policy of free trade by the United States, extemporize on probleir . con cerning the Far East, and will present impromptu talks on the executive branch of the United States government. Radio speakers will com ment on current affairs, origi nal orations will be p esented, and others will read poetry cian. Among mild sleep-makers to be taken at 10 p.m., are Seconal, Butisol sodium, Ada lin or Carbrital. A more pow erful drug needed by those who are highly resistant to sedative drugs is Nembutal. Among the short-acting drugs that can be taken at 4 or S in the morning are Butisol sodium and Bromural. The commonly used phenobarbital often has an undesirably long action. It certainly should not be taken after 10 p.m., if the person Is not to have a "hang over." The curse of many poor sleepers is their hatred of tak ing a pill; because of this, they will lie awake until 1 or 2 a.m. Then if they take a powerful or long-acting drug they will find it hard to wake up at 7. Dr. Alvarez comments on little strokes dizzy or woo zy spells, each one of which is due to the plugging-up of a small or tiny artery in the brain in his booklet on the subject.

Hazing Probe at UO Continuing Eugene (UPD A spokesman at the University of Oregon said Wednesday that a hazing investigation was continuing at the school but its results were not available. The spokesman said the re sults of the . investigation, which is being conducted by Donald DuShane, dean of stu dents, would not be an nounced until after a report was made to Dr. Arthur S. Flemming, president. The spokesman made the statement in response to a re port which said that the in vestigation had failed to sub stantiate any charges of serious hazing. Flemming's office said Sun day any fraternity at the university found guilty of hazing its pledges would be closed for one year unless there were extenuating circumstances.

Physical Fitness of Youth Said Lower Eugene - A second physical fitness test by Oregon State university and the University of Oregon of incoming fresh men reveals that those who did not participate in physical education classes in their jun ior and senior years in high school have significantly low er physical fitness scores than those who did participate. A similar study was con ducted by the two universities in the fall of 1961 and the same conclusion was reached. "Both universities are in agreement on the results for both men and women stu dents," according to Dr. H. Harrison Clarke, research pro fessor of physical education at the University of Oregon. "The results of the testing this year demonstrated again that students who did not have physical education in grades 11 and 12 and who did not participate in interscho lastic athletics had low aver ages on the physical fitness tests." He said the amount of physical education in high school also contributed to the fitness of the athletes. The athletes with physical educa tion throughout high school had significantly higher physi cal fitness averages than did the1 athletes without physical education in the 11th and 12th grades.

A recent study of this national newspaper audience shows that it in cludes 80 percent of all men and women over 21 . . . and 72 per cent of all teen agers, age 15 and over. This huge and consistent readership can be depended upon by advertisers because the daily newspaper is a habit with most people . . . an established part of their everyday lives. For the national advertiser, this amounts to almost the total market for a ny product. For the local advertiser, this massive readership symbolizes the local reach of his own local newspaper - into almost 9 out of 10 homes every day. No matter what the product or service an advertiser wants to sell, more people can read about it in the pages of the daily newspaper.
