Or do you dread going to bed, only to stare, sleep less, at the walls? Tho difference between sleep ing and staring is simply a matter of nerves. When your nervou9 system is in a sound con dition, you are certain to sleep well. . But when your nerves are worn out and beyond your control, your rest is broken and your awakening leaves you languid and irritable.

C.) No region in nil North America Is aiore frequently mentioned or more widely misunderstood, pcihnps, ns ro gards places, routes, distances, nnd the customs of the people, than the Mexican border. The nnmc Itself brings to mind a blending of modern Americanism and the romance of tho old frontiers. It hints nt turmoil and Intrigue, nt wild night rides by cavalry ralrols, nt gun-runners nnd smugglers. It suggests, too, brown-faced, snappy eyed senorltas In red skirts and man tlllns, peddling tongue-bllstcrlng tit mnles nnd mild dukes; of Mexican women washing clothes, babies and dishes lu Irrcgulnr ditches; of burros, hens nnd pigs fornglng about the door ways of flut-topped, squatty adobe huts. In mnny ways the soclnl cleavage of this border Is shnrp and startling. It cuts us off abruptly from another peo ple, showing nn odd, Interesting cross Fectlon of diverse civilizations. Nor nre nil the people along this line either Yankees or Mexicans. Thou sands of Chinese nre settled there on the Mexican side; nnd beside them nre Turks and Jnpnncsc, nnd 20 Indian tribes speaking 20 of the bubel of tongues henrd In Mexico. Thousnnds of settlers migrate to this I'Orderlnnd ench year, losing them selves In the vast, hnzy-blue stretches of Its open country; but they are Americans nil, mostly from the Mhldlo West nnd the South. The hordes of Finns, Slavs nnd Nenpolltansthnt pour Into our Atlantic ports never get this far; they stop In the manufacturing centers of the East. In Texns nnd California, of course, nntlve-born gen erations are found; lu the newer states of Arlzonn and New Mexico most of the residents (barring children) lmvo come from other states. . Rough and Difficult Trip. Adventurous, colorful nnd full of contrasts ns It Is, the 1,800-mlle trip ulong this crooked historic lino Is inugh and dlfllcult and has been made by few people. Some of the wildest nnd least known regions of our country nre piled up ngnlnst this border. Ask nny dough boy, of the mnny, mnny thousands who have done a "hitch" on the Mexican border, what he thinks, for Instance, of AJo or the Vumu sector. From the gulf up to El Pnso, nlong the Texas frontier, the Itlo Grando forms the boundary between tho United States nnd Mexico; thence to the Pacific the line Is marked by stone or Iron monuments (save n short break xnt the Colorado), so set that one Is supposed to be visible from the other. The Itlo Grande part of this border has caused both Uncle Snm nnd Mex ico much work nnd mental anguish. During bnd tloods the line ns formed by the river squirms around In so ns tonlshlng nnd lively n manner that whnt Is Mexican soil one dny mny be In Texns the next, nnd vice versa. Then, too, there Is the over-recurring problem of dividing the waters of the river for Irrigating purposes. Around nidi places ns Laredo, Tex., this situ ation nffords many nn acrimonious In ernntlonnl argument.

El Paso ("The Pass"), great borijci mart of west Texas, Is set on the edge of a rich stretch of the Rio Grande valley. It stands at the point of Intersection between two old high ways, the first channels of trafllc estab lished by white men In America. It Is the only large city from "San Antone" to Los Angeles, n ride of l,r00 dry, dusty miles. It Is well served by both American and Mexican railways, and Its merchants buy and sell goods for hundreds of miles below tho Itlo Grande. Despite the nrld country nbout It nnd Its occasional blinding dust-storms, Its climate Is exception ally good, owing to high elevation. The largest Irrigation reservoir any where Is the grent Elephant Ilutte dnni, which stores more water than the world-famous Assuan dam on the Nile. This big dam, built In the IUo Grande nbove El Pnso, at n point In New Mex ico, holds wntcr enough, we are told, "to cover Massachusetts to a depth of six Inches." .Tunrez, El Pnso's sister city across the Itlo Grande, like most Mexican bor der towns, Is known chiefly because of Its pitched battles and Its bizarre methods of entertnlnlng sporty Ameri can visitors.

In the Snn Bernardino valley the lino strikes the first running water after quitting the Itlo Grando 101 miles to the cast. In the whole 700. mile stretch from the Rio Grande to the Pncltlc this line crosses only five permnncnt running streams, and th average rainfall throughout Its length Is only eight Inches, Save the ham lets of Columbus and Hnchlta, the New Mexico section of the border Is almost uninhabited. Hurdling this line In pursuit of Go ronlmo nnd his Apaches was for years a fovorlto outdoor army sport In these parts; but nowadays most ambitious residents arc mining copper, roping nnd branding cattle or fussing with Ir rigation ditches.

Of our whole border, the California section Is perhaps best known to Americans because of denser popula tion, excellent motor trails nnd prox imity to cities like Snn Diego, Los An geles, El Centro and tho bclow-the-sea border town of Calcxlco, opposite Mex ican.
