Alienist Says Seven

British Doctor Thinks People Have
Habit Or Sleeping Too Much

Dr./Bernard Hollander, famous
British alienist and criminologist, in
addressing the South Place Ethical
Society on “Sleep and Dreams,” in
London, recently, declared that wo-
men not only slept longer but they
slept more lightly and peacefully
than men, and he added:

“They are less troubled by disturb-
ing dreams than the male, probably
because they have less work and
worry. .

There were, Dr. Hollander said,

men who required sleep. Others
slept nine~hours and even more. In
his opinion, seven hours’ sleep for a

_ vigorous adult should suffice. The
habit of sleeping too little was less
frequent than that of sleeping too.

Sleep was most intense during the
first two hours; hence the saying of
the “golden sleep” before midnight.
Others, less fortunate, had a double

ment and at the end in the morning,

Drought Conditions In

Times for Farmers

Canadian farmers are not the
only ones who are experiencing |
anxious times in connection with
the prolonged spell of dry weather,
according to reports received
by the department of trade and
commerce, Canada’s chief competitor
in the world wheat markets, Argen-

is felt by the grain and cattle trades.
Not only is pasturage in that coun: |

of the soil. In addition, wheat prices

very instructive article that
n for the Country Guide
w. A. Wilson, Canadian
Agricultural Products representative
on the Empire Marketing Board,
brings out some of the reasons why
Canada is not ggtting a larger share
of the British foodstuffs market.
One point that he brings out is of
very great interest; it 1s that qual-
ity itself is not sufficient to win the
British market; there must be quan-
ity as well.
‘ What Mr, Wilson means is that
sales contacts cannot be established
and maintained in Great Britain un-
less there is assurance of an ade-
quate and steady supply of the com-
modity sold, be it bacon, eggs, meat,
salmon, or other foods. This is the
lesson that Canada has not learned,

New Zealand, is emphasized in the
statement of Hon. W. B. Tavener,
commissioner of state forests, that
in forty years there will be no native
timber worth having in New Zea-
land left to mill.

Mr. Tavener recommends that
the Dominion proceed at once with
an extensive planting program.

“A certain change of attitude is
required toward the use of timber
in New Zealand,” said the minister.
“People have been wasteful in the
utilization of native timbers, and
that waste must be stopped. In the
most favored forest districts my ex-
perts tell me that only about ten
per cent of the standing timber is
actually utilized in the manufactur-
ing of lumber.”

The government is going ahead
with a program for the provision
of 300,000 acres of state forests to
be planted in pine trees. On some
of the land to be reforested the
government will plant fir cones and
other tree seeds obtained from Brit-
ish Columbia.

Wih the advent of the “big nickel,”
church collections have fallen off, a
preacher stated today at a regular
Sunday service. “The large five-

a querter. I don't blame the smaller
collections on the people, I blame the
Government.”

To Honor Airmen

To honor the two men who were

Since 1918 1,250,000 houses have
been built in England, providing

ish market.

To judge from the article one
would assume that all that is nec-
essary to overcome Canada’s handi-
cap is to lessen the inertia of the
Canadian farmer and farm organ-~
izations. If the problem does not go
deeper than that, it will no be diffi-
cult to solve. The Department of
Agriculture at Ottawa and in each
of the provinces and the various
farm organizations haye a remen-
dous opportunity to aid in expanding
Canada’s export trade.
