Statistician' who have no other ’ aim in life other than the enumer ation of this-and-that., have esr. ated that we spend more than one-third of our lives in sleep— which dechr atlou has stirred cer tain medical authorities to the poin' of Informing ns that the average man sleeps oo much. A survey of the lives of some o! otir "Princes of Industry’’ pro duces some very interesting fact ( on the subject, Thomas Edison, inventive "Wiz-> ard" of Orange, N. J., states that; up to a few years ago he found that four hours sleep gave him suf ficient rest and renewed vitality to start another day’s work. Recently, however, lie has been having sis hours. Not t.;at. he feels in need, of more sleep, but because Mrs. Edi son, who, he says, knows best, has persuaded him. Henry Furr), the man who made America automobile-minded, cor: fessep to six hours sleep, but adds, that, as it takes him three hours to get to alpep. he actually spends nine hours In bed. , »ir wmiam urpen, one oi ov . [greatest contemporary artists. is j trank in admitting that he could not possibly pet along with less than 13 hours sleep. Sir Henry Deterding, British oil magnates, says that he is perfectly satisfied if he can sleep uninter ruptedly for seven or eight hours— not less than seven. Another “eight hour" sleeper is Lloyd George, Erig 'lafld's war-tiine premier To go further back mlo history. Napoleon had some very pronoune ed, if not radical, views on slumber. He insisted that six hours of thr 34 was ample for anyone. His re marks to his troops on the subject have often been quoted by advocates of the “less sleep idea." He said that six hours’ sleep was more than enough for a man. woman, he thought, needed seven; and tea- a fool he prescribed eight. One wonders how he spent all his 'ime on St, Helena. Now, these were all great men (some still are) in their own pnr Tcular field: but as the variation of their sleeping hours ranged from rour to twelve hours, then obviously the recipe for greatness does not He in the amount of sleep we have. Recently American university specialists experimented on a num ber of students imd came ,to tlv conclusion that, if sleep can be re duced from eight ,to six hours it "Sill be beneficial to the .sleeper. The trouble is that an enthusiast or.

Nerve spe cialists will tell you that should a 1 person, whose minimum amount of deep is si* hours, decide to get along with four hours, then his ad verse balance of two hours per dav |is carried frrward with cumulative effect until he becomes so much in arrears that he simply cannot go on and nature orders, in no uncertain I teams, that he catch up on his sleep due him or Lave a nervous break down. | A talk on sleep would not be com plete without mention of the claim I put forward by Mr. Paul Hem, cx Austrian ariny veteran, who claims that he has not slept since being wounded In the head during the great war. A lot has been written in I substantiation and contradiction of j his claim and between the pros and cons it is impossible to get at *he truth of the matter. < Nobody s Business Q£E McGEE—• Waul-rr Hide?

It has done more toward furnishing employment to indivi duals than anything else since tiu building of the Prymaids of Egypt and the Chinese wall—of Japan, as a school teacher would say. Today the automobile is giving work to 4,555,7*17 farm hands in garage repair shops. With cotton and wheat selling for might nigh nothing per pound and per bushel, respectively, what in the world would become of all of those plow hands and hoe-hand»s if they did dent have jobs in garages. And as little as you thing Of it, the automobile has Increased the number of Undertakers and assist ants (since 1900) from 6,432 to 99, 752. Everybody knows that there ain't enough position in beef mar kets and abattoirs to keep ail of this bunch of men at work. And thous ands of men are constantly engaged in digging graves and setting up tombstones today that would be loafing were it not for automobiles. Were it not for automobiles, the 82,000 highways patrols and speed cops—(now in use in the United States) would be absolutely minus sufficient revenue to buy everything they want—as their wives simply could not afford to keep them in lux ury without help—as they are now enjoying.

It Is Spring-Time Again. As this piece Is being written, the sun is shining at full speed, the temperature is 72 in the shade, avid there ain’t any signs a-tall of any weather for several days, but per chance when this appears in the papers, it might be cold and wet and damp. Anyway, Spring is here. I know it. On the way to dinner today (at 1 p. m.) I saw 2 little boys playing jack-stones. That’s proof No. 1. On my way back to the office. I picked up a flapper with a low-cut aun back dress on. That's proof No. 2. Old Mrs. Kingland was sunning her feather bed and bolster during the afternoon, and that’s proof No. i. And here's ail of the other proof, if any be needed. My wife had 4 men arid 2 negroes working in her yard and garden today. She has or dered all kinds of plants and seeds. Every wagon and truck in our neighborhood is fetching load after load of ho-made fertilizer—common to cow-stalls ansoforth. She has 3 brand new hoes, (they will last her nearly a week.V The 2 new rakes and the pitchfork and garden plow will disappear by next Tuesday night. She intend! to plant lilies oi the valley and johnny quills in the west ern exposure of the yard. Her rose garden will remain where It is if she cun get a«y r06ts started in it. 1 guess morning glories will be plant ed around the border of the pi-izza, and we’ll soon have strings running up to the guttering, and before any body knows it, morning glories will be running up the strings. But meb be not: that’s the way we useter to do. She's not planting any bermuda and nut-grass, but I am sure that she will have a good “stand" of those 2 beautiful lawn grasses with in a day or so. We fight nutgrass 12 months in the year and cultivate other grasses 12 months in the yeai, but we never have any of the lat ter because of the former. This country is waiting and longing for1 a Burbank, the Second. who will; cross Kentucky Blue Grass with South Carolina nutgrass, and then! our grass-growing troubles will be! over. I am very fond of spring. Spring means birds and flowers and poke sallet and thinner dresses and fresh eschalots (called she Hots by the Ig norant) and BVDs and friend chick en and no coal bills and fishing worms and possibly some English peas.

What has become of the old time cars? Where are the makes which used to be so familiar on the streets of Lincolnton in the days of fifteen twenty, and twenty-five years ago? Strolling along the main thor oughfare any busy day of the wee!', now and with a pencil and pad j make a list of the different kinds of automobiles you will see parked there. There is the Ford, of cou-se. and a Buiclc or two, a sprinkling of Hudsons, some Es,sexes, a Chevrolet, Dodges and a few' others. Possibly the name plates of a dozen differ j ent makes will be seen in the pa rade, but these are just a handful Of the makes that at one time or other since the advent of the motor err made their bow to the buying pub lic of the world Some have surviv ed, but mast of them have passed into history. In all probability the metal work in the car in which you are riding today was reclaimed from a half dozen different makes of the old days. They were traded in on new cars which had more lasting quali ties and finally found their way to the iarnaces where they were once more reduced to metal and again worked into tire later and newer makes. | Of course since 1900 mere nave | been makes which have remained on the market. They are, of course, quite different looking machines to what they were in the old days. Back then, they were just motor ve hicles. There were none of the con veniences and comforts to be found on them that really makes a pres ent day car worth while. Most of you who have known any thing about automobiles at all will recall the Apperson. There are no Appersons today. Then there was the Ambassador of 1922. Back a few years earlier, say about 1917. it was not uncommon to see a Dixie Flyer. The Star had its rise in l^o anu ror a few years claimed the attention of the auto buying public, but today, there are few Stars and for the most part, they will be found on some junk pile awaiting the scrap iron buyer. In 1913 some of you will re call the Mighty Michigan. Also about 1917 and for a few years thereafter the Ben Hur could be seen. The Crow-Elkhart of 1915 and the Dort of 1916, and a little earlier say about 1909. the E. M. F., all of them have had their rise and tall. Then you will recall tire Lorraine in 1920 and the R. C. H. in 1912 and the Stoddard-Dayton in 1904. Along about 1905 there were four times as many different kinds of automobiles on the American mar ket than there are today. Npthwith standing this fact the output of all of these different factories during j the entire time between 1900 and 1905 was less than the average monthly production of the present day. In 1903 there were fifty one dif ferent new makes of automobiles which came into being during that year, and for the most part the only thing that is known of them is perhaps the advertisement to be found in some paper of that par ticular year. The total output of automobiles of all kinds in 1908 was only 11 235 cars. Then let your eyes drop down the column dealing with au tomobile statistics to the year 1929 w hich is regarded as the peak year of the industry and what do you find? The entire output of motor cars of the passenger type for that year reached the astounding figure of 4,749,898. This means automobiles and not money. If you are interest ed in values here’s the wholesale value of the product for that year: $2,981,141,842.' Stroll along the streets of Lin colnton once more. Check up on the cars you see there. Make mental calculation as to the total number you find parked and figure in your mind the Investment in cash they represent. It runs into money quick, and the manufacturers say there Is still a demand, and they are put ting the army of unemployed back to work to supply this demand. TRUSTEE** SALE.
