-HOW TO *mFW?NOS
HE BUILT A SLEEP BUSINESS
A FURNITURE SALESMAN in Lynn, was troubled
with insomnia. 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.

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.

ttALLS OF FAME have been es-
tatlished in Washington, as well
as nearly every capital in the world
—and at most universities and in
many cities.
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.
