Night after night he tosseffon his pillow; couldn't sleep. < hie night an idea hit him, a simple idea: that there must be thousands of people in the United States who were having the same trouble he was. If he could help them • he not only would be doing a great service, but . he might also make some money. The more he thought about the idea, the bet ter it seemed. But he resolved not to go' off half-cocked. He would look ahead, and plan. He decided to open a shop for articles to induce sleep and he would not : irftlucfe medicines or sleep sedatives. ' & Dale His name was Norman Dine. 'f, ; Here’s the way he put over his idea, an example, of what thought and careful planning will accomplish/ First ’ v he resolved to learn all about sleep that he could, and so * , he came to New York and took special courses dealing with .) ‘ psychology and physiology at Columbia University. His next step was to call oh manufacturers of beds and h bedside lights, and ask them to cooperate with'him in open- ’ I ing a ‘‘sleep shop” ; where nothing would be sold which did }) not have to do with sleep. The manufacturers stared at him: must be crazy. Their answer was “No.” i He still believed his idea sound, and that he liad an appeal to human need that was deep and fundamental. He then went to the biggest department store in New York and asked them to allot him space for a “sleep shop.’' Again the answer was «No.” ~ ^ In He went to another department st&re. Same result, fact eleven department stores turned down his idea. He peddled his idea for two years, then a specialty store' spoke the encouraging word of three letters. He opened his shop seven years ago this week with 75 items in it. I visited it the other day, and how many sleep-wooers do you thing he now has? Six hundred! One is called a “lulla- phone,” an electrical Contraption which hums drowsily,, some what similar to a radio tuned to its lowest tone. Another re produces the chirping of crickets. ^uccesdul f-^arentliood. BY MRS. CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS Associate Editor, Parents’ Magazine HOW FRIENDS CAN HELP A TTAVE you ever discovered how 'Ll helpful friends can be in straight ening out problems with your chil dren? Take the ’teen-ager who won’t keep herself pres entable. She is scornful of the least touch of makeup, and mussy hair and droopy clothes seem to satisfy her. Of course, some- times girls go through these stages of carelessness because they are honestly so intent on becoming a second Mme. Curie or Florence Nightingale that thought of clothes and appearance seems to them, in their young earnestness, a very trivial thing. Other girls may be so disappointed at this age with the kind of face or hair nature gave them that they pretend to have no interest in looks and try to be as sloppy as possible. Now here’s where your friend steps in! Choose the one who is the most attractive and well groomed, provided she is also a nice person—but she would have to be that to be your friend, for vain, shallow women rarely have genuine friendships. Take this friend into your confidence and together you can arrange a luncheon downtown with your daughter. Make it casual—you might appear to run into her by accident. Ask her to wear her trimmest clothes and her very nicest perfume—young girls ad mire an older woman who has a delicate scent because they themselves can’t wear perfume without feeling self-conscious. Now no matter how un-dressed- up your daughter may be at the moment your friend will make a casual but complimentary re- - mark about her eyes, or her fac ial expression or the texture of her skin or hair—even nice eye brows or dainty ears can rouse a girl’s pride in her appearance if they are admired by someone - • whose taste is superior. This is just a beginning, of course. If the two don’t hit it off, try the plan with another friend. But if your daughter shows a spark of lik ing and admiration for your friend, then go on to further meetings. Have your friend drop in for a cup of tea about the time daughter is due from school. What you are trying to do, of course, is encourage’ a friendship between your daughter and this older woman. (They may have known each other for years, but on the plane of child and adult.) Friendship blooms slowly so don’t expect miracles at once. When your daughter’s confidence has been won, this friend who is clever about clothes and hair and grooming can begin to make suggestions to the girl about her appearance—suggestions she might ignore if you made them. This same method often works in reverse—that is, if your daughter is too much taken up with her locks and neglects her brain try to foster a friendship with a woman who is both nice looking and intelligent, preferably one with an interesting career to her credit. Not only will your daughter bene fit but friends who have no daugh ters of their own will cherish an op portunity to have a hand in helping a young girl acquire the charm and poise of womanhood.

The favorite Hall of Fame in America —* among sport lovers at least—is the one- story museum in Cooperstown. N. Y., birthplace of base ball. The museum was established by a group of pioneers, including Alexander Joy Cartwright, Morgan G. Bulke- Ty Cobb ley, Henry Chad wick—the father of baseball, B. B. (Ban) Johnson, A. G. Spaulding, George Wright and others. The first—and one of the most popular of America’s most popular sport to be entered in the Hall of Fame was Ty Cobb. Others include Honus Wagner, Babe Ruth. Christy Methewson, Walter Johnson, Napoleon Lajoie, Tris Speaker, Cy Young, Grover Alexander. George Sisler, Eddie Col lins, Willie Keeler, Lou Gehrig, Rogers Hornsby, Joe Tinker. Johnny Evers, Frank Chance, Rube Waddell. Ed Plank, Ed Walsh, Jack Chesbro, Clark Griffith, Iron Man McGinnity. Alex Cartwright, Morgan Bulkeley, Henry Chadwick, Ban Johnson, Al bert Spaulding, George Wright/Con- nje* Mack, Charles Comiskey, John McGrpr, Charles Radboume, Cap Anson, Buck Ewing, Jesse Burkett, Tom McCarthy, William and Judge K. M. Landis. Can you tell why each was select ed—and who should now be added? Another south cf the border item was the rejection by Jorge Pasquel of an exhibition baseball game between a Mexican league team and Bob Fel ler’s All-Star American league team. Financial disagreements halted the arrangements. Feller, star pitcher with the Indians, was touring the country with his All-Stars. Detroit has a good chance of being the site of the 1952 Olympic games. At a meeting of the International Olympic Committee in Switzerland, only two other American cities en tered bids, Los Angeles and Tvrui- neapolis. In Europe only Stockholm and Athens tried for the honor. The decision will be announced by the comnr^tee next year. s £0*9 SUFFERERS! 666 STARTS R5l*EF IN JUST 6 SECONDS famous, prescrSptiori-tv;>e for super-spceil.v reUff from cold miseries.
