RESTFUL SLEEP
The days are coming or father
the nights when many a heat suf
ferer will find himself unable to
sleep.
"It's too hot to, sleep," he'll say,
and believe it, too.
Now sleeping in warm weather Is
more or less a matter of keeping the
mind cool. By that is meant that no
matter how exhausting the day has
been, or how hot the night one
should banish worry when one
climbs into bed. Lie back on the pil
low with head relaxed; soon sleep
will steal over you.
Oddly enough a person who has
worked himself into a state of men
tal hysteria because of the heat can
sleep successfully by means of a
warm bath not a cold one. A pro
longed warm bath relaxes tense mus
cles, and although reddening the
skin has the beneficial effect of with
drawing blood from the centers with
in. It generally Is followed by a com
fortable feeling of drowsiness
then sound, healthy sleep.
For those tired mentally, as well
as physically, a hot foot bath just
before getting into bed, serves to put
one In a sleepy frame of mind.
The "evaporation process" enables
many to drop off to sleep despite hot
nights. This is a prolonged luke
warm bath. Then instead of drying
one's self with a towel stretch out,
still damp,, on the bed and let the
normal current of air circulating in
the bedroom dry one one by evapora
tion.
If these methods fail to make one
sleep there is something radically
wrong with the individual himself.
Generally it can be traced to over
eating or to the eating of the wrong
food for hot weather.
COLUMBUS' MODEST BILL
A German statistician who has
had access to the diary of Colum
bus and other data available for the
purpose, claims that $7,258 was the
original cost of the discovery of
America. The figures impress us as
furnishing an amazing example of
the explorer's thrift. It has to be
considered, however, that the expe
dition of discovery escaped by sev
eral centuries the handicaps of trans
Atlantic travel in thi3 direction now
Imposed by the immigration quotas,
the tariff and the high cost of hous
ing. Not even passport fees had to be
taken into account for the excursion
of 1492.
Columbus himself drew a salary
of $320, according to the informa
tion gathered by Herr Feldhaus.
There was in those happy days nei
ther shipping board nor other regu
larly body to interfere. The crews
of the fleet were content, it appears,
on stipends of $29.25 per man per
annum.
In modern times distinguished
foreigners have found it possible to
discover America at figures practic
ally of their own fixing. It is a mat
ter of record that not a few men
coming over in the steerage have
found their venture more profitably
morally and financially than that of
others who have paid out more than
the cost of the Columbus voyage.

MAKE IT 100 PER CENT
One way to help make Plattsmoutb
a better city Is to keep your lamp
trimmed and brightly burning.
No matter In what trade, business
or profession in which you are en
gaged, give to that work the best
that is within you, and you will thus
render the community as well as
yourself a splendid service.
When your lamp is trimmed It will
give more light and less smoke.
Also, you won't be ashamed to
carry it In front of you and thus
throw a light ahead and let the
shadow fall behind.
When you get up in the morning
you ought to feel glad that you live
in Plattsmouth.
You ought to feel proud of your
citizenship In the best community in
Nebraska, glad that you can call
Plattsmouth your home, the place
where you live in peace, happiness
and contentment, the place where
your children go to school, the place
where you worship God, the place
where the sunshines and the clouds
never gather.
It's a great thing to show a 100
per cent efficiency in citizenship, and
you can't do it unless you put your
whole heart in it.

ORDERS RECOV
ERY OF PATENTS
FROM BUYERS
Nominal Sums Paid for Them Under
Alien Property Act Claim the
Deal Was Engineered.
Washington, July 1. President
Harding today sprung a sensation
when he ordered the alien property
custodian to recover from the gov
ernment millions of dollars wortli of
patents bought for nominal sums by
the war-formed Chemical foundation.
The president's directions ab!o
went to Attorney General Daugherty
to take "successful steps" following
a lengthy proposal by the department
of justice, appeared to foreshadow
startling developments before the
grand jury. "
The formation of Chemical founda
tion and the purchase by its prime
movers of 4,500 German and other
enemy patents under the alien prop
erty act was engineered by prominent
officials of the Wilson administration,
it is alleged. Attorney General
Daugherty said the action of the
president was fully justified by facts
developed by the department in ite
long investigation.
Directing the recovery of the prop
erty for. the government, the presi
dent in a letter to Col. Thomas W.
Miller, custodian, plainly indicated
that fraud in the sale of the patents
most of them valuable dye patents,
had been shown by the record. The
president said:
"It appears that the sale was made
at so nearly a nominal sum that
there is reason to believe that this
government has not faithfully ob
served the trust 'which was implied
in the seizure of this property.
"The circumstances relating to the
entire transactions are of such a
character that full investigation be
comes a public duty."
The Chemical foundation was or
ganized when A. Mitchell Palmer,
former attorney general of the
United States was alien property
custodian. Francis P. Garvan, of
New York, became president of the
foundation when he retired as alien

Attorney General Daugherty said
the Investigation had proceeded in
