FEAR, HATE PERVADE AIR OF PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS

U. S. GOOD WILL AMONG NATIONS TO FACE_ TRIAL Coolidge’s Presence Called Master Stroke of Diplomacy. ABLE MINDS TO AID HIM Undercurrents of Jealousy May Break Loose at Havana Meeting. Jin Times Special HAVANA, Jan. 9.—As though sitting precariously on top of a sleeping volcano which might break loose at any time, the sixth Pan-American congress will convene here next Monday with President Calvin Coolidge as the principal speaker. Not since the blowing up of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor on that memorable Feb. 15 of thirty years ago, has this historic city of the West Indies been the scene of a more important event, fraught, as it will be, with good or ill for the United States and the rest of the western world. Today, the United States is misunderstood in latin America as it never has been before. Suspicion is rampant. Fear of “the colossus of the north,” as the United States has come to be called down here, is on the increase. United States motives are suspected and are the subject of mounting criticism. President Breaks Precedent That President Coolidge is thoroughly alive to the menace to the United States’ relations with these southern neighbors of ours is evident. Defying precedent which tends to keep the President within the borders of his country, he will board the battleship Texas at Key West, cross the straits of Florida and land on the foreign soil of Cuba as a gesture of good will. But that is not all. With the President will come the most distinguished array of delegates that ever presented the United States abroad in a gathering of this kind. The list will be headed by former Secretary of States Charles Evans Hughes. Others will be the new ambr'-sador to Mexico, Dwight W. Mor: . ; Henry P. Fletcher, ambassador to Rome; Oscar W. Underwood, former Senator from Alabama; former Judge Morgan J. O’Brien; Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, brother of the secretary of the secretary of the navy and president cf Leland Stanford University; Jr- .a; Brown Scott, secretary of the Carnegie endowment for international peace; Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director general of the Pan American Union, and Col. Noble Brandon Judah, new ambassador to Cuba. While he will not be a delegate, Secretary of State Kellogg has announced he will come. Diplomacy Is Needed By his decision to visit Cuba in the middle of a highly important session of Congress at Washington; by his appointment of such an able galaxy of men to represent this country and by his many recent Iriendly gestures toward Mexico beginning with the appointment of Ambassador Morrow and including his sponsoing Lindbergh’s good will flight to Mexico and Central Amerdenced a strong desire, to improve relations. Just how well he will succeed depends upon how strong and how widespread is the antagonism to the Latin American policies of the United States, and which the “war” in Nicaragua is considered a typical blossom. If arguments reach the dangerous ground of the open floor of the Congress, the top of the dormant volcano likely will be blown to blazes. DEMOCRATS TO CAPITAL

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. DURING recent years few subjects of medical investigation have aroused the interest that has been given to sleeplessness. Apparently the speeding up of American life has resulted in an increased amount of difficulty in securing rest. Dr. E. M. Callender, in an address delivered before the Medical Society of London, points out that men cyan exist without sleep for about the same amount of time

It is now being used in Paris, according to United Press dispatches, to test the hearing of operators of the Paris telephone system. In Paris they may need it. Local telephone officials say that their girls have passed physical examinations before they ever go on the switchboard, but no “otorhinolaryngologist” is or will be used.

JACKSON JUDGE PLEA OPPOSED Montgomery Bir.sed, Claim Governor and Aids. County prosecutors this afternoon opposed the motion of Governor Jackson, County Republican Chairman George V. Coffin and Robert I. Marsh, law partner of Jackson, for a change from Special Judge Oscar H. Montgomery of Seymour in their trial for alleged conspiracy to commit a felony. The State filed a brief in which it was set out that the defense exhausted the one opportunity to change judges when Jackson’s attorneys participated in the selection of Montgomery. The defense motion asserted Montgomery is biased and prejudiced. The court, however, was expected to grant the motion, as he has said he probably would sustain it if it was filed within the proper time. The trial has been set for Feb. 7. This action of defense attorneys, however, is expected to delay it. If Montgomery retires, Criminal Judge James A. Collins will assume jurisdiction and name three prospective candidates for the special judgeship. Judge Collins disqualified himself after the indictment was returned. The defendants are alleged to have offered former Governor Warren T. McCray SIO,OOO and a promise of no-conviction in State courts if he appointed James E. McDonald county prosecutor. William P. Evans, son-in-law of McCray, resigned then.

The first one of the special senses to disappear in sleep is vision and the last hearing. During sleep, hearing is the sense most easily aroused, the sense of touch is more difficult to arouse and taste and smell practically disappear entirely. The muscles are relaxed and the breathing becomes deeper jynd slower.

ALL body secretions diminish in amount. When a sleepy child rubs its eyes, it does so because the amount of tears or find secreted is less and the eyes feel gritty. The frequency of the pulse is lessened, the blood pressure is lowered and the reflexes that depend on the activity of the brain disappear. Various investigators have studied the intensity of sleep. These investigators agree that there is a rapid increase in the intensity of sleep during the first two h|trs,

BANDIT TAKES LOOT, HANDS OUTJIS CARD Wave of Holdups Continues Over Week-End; 'Mournful Robber’ Is Busy. The “Mournful Bandit,” robbing a milk wagon driver and handing him a card bearing that inscription, provided the most colorful episode of the hold-up wave here over the week-end. Harry Steele, 31, of 1438 Olive St., Capitol Dairies driver, faced the sad-hearted bandit’s revolver as he was getting back in his wagon in front of 3436 Birchwood Ave., at 6:30 a. m. A muffler pulled up over the bandit’s face served as a mask, Steele said. After taking $6 and a check for $23, the bandit gallantly said “Here’s my card,” and handed over a bit of green cardboard with the inked inscription, the “Mournful Bandit.” Flees in Stolen Auto He fled to an auto driven by a companion, waiting a little ahead of the milk truck. The auto license revealed it as the property of L. P. Merz, 1131 N. Capitol Ave., stolen from Capitol Ave. and Court St.. Sunday night. From his description police believe the “Mournful Bandit” may be the man who held up several milk wagon drivers last week. Roy Mongel, attendant at the Silver Flash filling station at FortySixth and Illinois Sts., was one of the Sunday hold-up victims. Two bandits who asked for a gallon of gas in a can took sls at the point of a revolver. A bandit forced Attendant William G. Pascoe, 910 Athon St., to open the safe at the Standard Oil Company filling station at Indiana Ave. and North Sts. and took $45. Holds Up Oil Station Another bandit -walked into the Standard Oil station at Belmont Ave. and Washington St., holding a gun in one hand and masking his face with the other. Charles Kinley, 3666 Rockville Rd., was forced to hand over the money drawer containing nearly $l5O. Mrs. F. C. Kinley, mother of the attendant, was walking toward the station when she saw the man run out. She said he waved a flashlight, as if signalling. Mr. and Mrs. H. Noble, 4923 Winthrop Ave., fought and screamed until they put a gunman to flight at an alley between Carrolton Ave. and College Ave. on Forty-Ninth St., late Sunday. The couple told police an automobile drew up alongside them and one of the men in the car stepped out with a drawn pistol and demanded money. Noble seized the weapon and they scuffled. The bandit put his foot against Noble for a brace and when he pulled the gun loose, Noble fell. Mrs. Noble screamed and the bandit fled in the auto. Negro Hides in Car C. F. Hutchins. 736 East Dr., Woodruff Place, lost $1 in a hold-up Saturday night. He came from church at Thirteenth and Alabama Sts., to find an armed Negro crouched in his auto. A youthful bandit held up Nick Esapar, 124 W Nineteenth St., at Capitol Ave. and Market St., early Sunday and got $3.85.

which leaches its highest point between the first and second hours and then drops rapidly again. y Since the stimulation of the various senses may be responsible for disturbed sleep, Callender points out that the difficulty of sleeping the first night in a strange bed is due to unaccustomed stimulation of the skin by the bed and the bedding. Modern street traffic, which goes on practically all through the night, may be responsible for the fact that people complain nowadays of inability to sleep longer than three or four hours.

The actual noise of traffic nowadays does not disappear until 1 or 1:30 in the morning and not infrequently lasts until-3 o’clock. # n n USUALLY a person with this type of insomnia may be relieved by a few nights in a place where quiet occurs earlier.

This, Callender relates to the fact that they take too little food or take the evening meal too early. An alteration in the hour at which the last meal is taken and

the drinking of some hot liquid during the middle of the nightfrequently acts as a producer of sleep. He relates the awakening to the fact that the blood pressure falls extremely low. On the other hand, normal persons are likely to be sleepless following a fate supper or a heavy dinner, following the taking of too much alcohol or too much tobacco, the taking of coffee or tea in the evening, overwork or constant stress on the attention until bedtime, the presence of too much cold or too much heat during the sleeping hours.
