ly HERMAN M. BUROBIN, M.B. INSOMNIA Is one of our most common complaints, for most of us have been unable to sleep at one time or another. There are three types of insomnia: an inability to tall „ asleep upon retiring; frequent or extended awakening during the course of the night; or waking before sufficient hours of sleep have been obtained. Rsqulramants Vary The amount of sleep a person needs is determined by age, occupation, activity, temperament and general physical condition. Everyone has individual sleep requirements. The traditional eight hours are needed for most, seven hours are sufficient for some, and more than eight are essential for still others. People who have been denied proper sleep may have inner tensions and irritability. They may even develop a mental situation in which they misinterpret their environment or the people around them. EmotionaKCousss Most cases of insomnia are due to emotional disturbances. Other

Daily use in recent dry weather has exceed- ♦ ed 750,000 gallons, against a pumping capacity of BM.OOO gallons. People with all that fine sweet, cool water at their doors will have to stop sprinkling lawns and taking showers with their usual ease. Kincardine _.ia_Jt small city. _ Cleveland, with over a million people, on the shores of Lake Erie, which is 200 miles long and averages more than 30 miles in width—not so deep as Huron, but deep enough—is already shortening water use and.worrying about what would happen if more water were suddenly needed. . These two cities, small and large, are in the news today. But the whole Great Lakes area suffers in the same way. Anyone who sails on any of the lakes, or swims in one, or looks at one or one of its rivets, from a train or car, wonders what this is all about. There’s lots of water! Citizens in areas subject to floods are sure we have,,too much water. The problem is to check it where we don’t want it and draw from it where we do? ■

A. Yes, this is the proper pro* I cedlire. Q. Is it proper to tip the hotel doorman who lifts your bags out of your car to the sidewalk? A. No. In Indianapolis.

: factors are excessive cold, heat, ’ hunger, thirst, itching and pain.

These include miking the, * bed more comfortable, frequent ■changes of tinen. r dark room; * good ventilation, absence of noise, a warm bath or something 1 warm to drink before retiring. Sedatives may have to be used ’ in certain Instances. They do ■ tend to become habit-forming, however, and should not be taken ’ consistently. The underlying cause for the ; difficulty should be determined and treated. QUESTION AND ANSWEM 6- V.: Is there any way a person can determine if he has had mumps? Answer: A new skin test to test mumps immunity is now available. A little bit of the serum is Injected underneath the skin and if a red spot occurs within 24 hours, it means the person is immune to mumps.

This youthful clerk bad absconded with funds belonging to a bank tn. Philadelphia, and in the course Os his flight, had killed ■ policeman. At Wilde stealthily searches Cabin 5. he is surprised by the sudden appearance of its occupant. Miss Pomeroy, a professional photographer on her way to the Mar di Gras. The tail, handsome, self-suf-flcient young career Woman orders him, at gun-point, from her room. • ; — .... ... CHAPTER EIGHT MISS POMEROY said to me: "Tell me what gives you any* right to ask me questions. About anything.” I said: **l told you about the man we’re looking for. He’s a killer, ao that makes him your problem, too. But, strictly speaking, 1 don’t have any right to question you.” I brought out the letter Grodnik had given me and held it out to her. "You know me, you said. If you’ll read this, you may be willing to help me." One long thin hand came up automatically for the letter. She didn't read much of IL She folded it again, inserted it in the chve,lope. “In my pocket," she said in a thin tone. "In my coat." I went to the bed again and bent over the coat. The wad of papers came out easily this time. The Delta Line receipt 1 skipped. Under it was a paid hotel bill. The next was a receipt from Mabley Carew’s department store in Cincinnati. A receipt for one wardrobe trunk, bought today and paid for in cash. I dropped the papers on the bed. And then 1 sat again. "Bought today." 1 said to Russell. “Sure it wasn’t empty?" "These were in it," Miss Pomeroy said, gesturing at the two big leather bags against the wall. “My equipment.” ’ Russell nodded. “C ou 1 d be. 1 know she had the trunk and two or three bags, maybe four." He glanced around the room. "Enough extra stuff here to account for It all," he admitted. “Miss Pomeroy,” I said, “would you mind telling me why you came on board at the last minute with-' out a prior reservation? There’s no reason why you have to tell me, I'll admit. But I’ll have to find out somehow.” "I’m on assignment for Vacation,” she said with no hesitation. "It was a last-minute idea of the editor’s. I’ve got a letter from him somewhere.” "The gun," I said. "Why the ready gun?” “I’m a single woman, Mr. Wilde, and my job takes me to some rough places. 1 always carry a gun. ThSre's a permit in my bag. And 1 know how to use 1L Now, what else?” "Just an apology, I guess," I said. I watched her blue eyes grow aaadowed. “I'm not much cood at

Could I go away somewhere and practice and come back another time?” "Os Course," she murmured. 1 looked at her as I eased the door shut and she was still there, standing straight and wonderfully tell, the overhead light failing on her lustrous hair, framing the line of her chin with a Silvery edging, making slight hollows below her cheekbones, touching her full mouth with a gentle glow. She held her eyes hard on mine all the wnile 1 pulled the door shut “Smitten, Mr. Wilde?” Russell suggested. “A mite "tall for some, but not for you. And not for me. A veritable doll, no?" ; - *l’ll nave to check the boat’s crew, Russell,” 1 said. “Can you set that up for me?" "Easy,” Russell said. "Two shifts only. Not much work while we’re actually moving. We always hire extra hands in Cincinnati for loading and unloading. The stewards might be hard to round up all at one time, but—" "Won’t be necessary," I broke in. “Just figure out how I can get a took at every crew member some time of other.” "Will do. What about the rest of the passengers?" •1 don’t Know. How many are there?” "Roughly, 200." "I guess you better get me the fist.” “SOre. Also the captain is giving a party tonight. A get-together for the passengers. Might bet a good idea to have a look at all the bedroom passengers, maybe, since your man had a bedroom reservation. What do you think?" “Could be. Can you fix it?" “Sure.” 1 went back to my bedroom, locked the door and stretched out full length on the soft double bed. Outs|de in the corridor a voice spoke, sounding muted, but distinct inside my room. It was Mr. Russell using a public address system. "AU passengers are reminded of the captain's party in the diningsaloon. The saloon is forward on tM texas deck. That’s the center deck of the boat Come when you’re ready, come as you are. No rules. No formality. The captain’s giving a party and everything's on the house. On the boat, maybe I should say. Everyone’s invited." I got up and went into the bathroom, combed my hair, wiped my face? with a damp cloth and buttoned my jacket Then 1 opened the door and went to the captains party. At the foot of the forward staircase, young Mr. Russell stood, chatting amiably with, a short, whlto-hairod man who had his back to me. Ruesell had changed his uniform jacket for a blue, brass-buttoned blazer with "Assistant Purser” embroidered above the breast pocket. . , »"Hcllo. Mr. Wilde." ha said.

“Com® and meet Dr. Riggs. You’ll be sharing the same table.” The small, white-haired man was thin and he stood very straight His sharp chin was held very High. He took my hand in a quick snatch, gripping hard. “Not doctor, my boy,” he said in a hoarse, gravelly voice.'"Just Doc. Old Doc Riggs. Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wilde. Recuperating from a traumatic experience, I see.” “That’s a nice way of saying it, Doc,” I laughed. “If you can’t say it nice, don’t say it, that’s the way 1 see it” The little man cocked his head birdlike to one side and looked at me with confident faded-blue eyes that saw everything there was to see. He wore a suit of small checks, a blue bow tie that was just the watery shade of his eyes. The small aster in his buttonhole was a basic part of his atmosphere. He grinned at me and his wide thin mouth looked extremely wise and knowing. Dog Riggs looked like a graduate con man. He dressed that way and he had a voice that eouid carry a mile. “Pitch man, bocl* 1 asked. "Or a carnie?” » “I won’t deny either impeachment, sir," he chuckled. "Although 1 am now retired from the hurlingburling scramble for a quick bit of crunch, I must confess there was a time When Greatorex and Co. were wont to call on me whenever their solid gold brass watches were finding few takers among the reubens. And Benbow’s Mammoth Carnival, to a man, once referred to me admiringly as Spindle Jack Riggs in recognition of a certain small adeptness I managed to acquire through the deft dexterity of a delicate digit on the controlling gaff of a wheel of fortune. But all that was long ago. Have you any shares of High Licking Oil, Coal and Copper, Inc. in your portfolio, Mr. Wilde* I think I could find a few magnificently engraved specimens of high perfidy and profits* Both perfidy and profit to be mine, I assure you” Russell and I were both grinning hugely toy the.
