INSOMNIA A Michigan doctor insists that the onjy treatment for insomnia is com-; mon sense. He seeks not to hypnotize, 1 but to convince his wakeful patients. J . . f . , gheeping counting or reading, or writlng poetry in bed, or tither cold Qr hQt bathgt Qr ty,ng the great tQes together, or exercising oneself in pingless serials of self pity or seir aggrandizement, mis contention is that it is fear of insomnia that doss the mischief; that going to bed is as much for resting the body as for resting the mind, and that the( body shoud not be deprived of its jng out that farce comedy has an .share of rest because the mind per-'almost tragic attack, that light com- sists in cavorting and castle build- ing.

More then three years have passed since the Armistice, and most of the returned soldiers still are as silent as clams. When they began coming home from Europe, one of the first thing3 that struck the stay at home public are,was that none bf them wanted t3 lii about his experiences. The bie idea seems to be to bury 1 " the rast and try to forget. Poor Whittlesey, leader of the famous Lost Battalion, couldn't forget. He is be lieved to ha-e jumped overboard from an ocean liner, to escape his memories.
