“i I How's Your lngersoll?

(By Jerome Lachenbuch)

The next time you ~ impatiently pull out your Yankee or Eclipse and scrowl and swear (if that is what you tdo when you have been awaiting three minutes for the most adorable gttrl in the world to put that stray hair in place) and then - test every piece of furniture in the parlor to kill time and hide your restlessness, give yourself a little philosophic lecture on the value o keeping cool and thank your stars that you were not born n Kolorian Juang of Bengal. a tSantal or a Babylonion. Then, if you can in» duce a state of peace and patience. examine little ftir. Nickleplated and listen to the rhythmic ticking: of his blessed heart and say a pruyer c-f thanks that he never misses a beat. For, in the heat of your anxiety, you may have forgot that she will be ready at lettst with- in a few tninutes after your arrival. Even your proniplnesn-ltow well tinted! And all because a dial, divided into sixty equat parts‘, tells I the tale of the wheeling of the stars

in their orbits and so informs you accurately of the exact ntoment of your precious appointment,

You may remember having rent somewhere that clocks, were in vented some time in the thirteenth century; and that the first crude tltuctii-ccz pointed to the passing hours before the scribes of the day wrote A. D. 1000 at thc ltead of tlte love letters they scrzttcltcd 0n parchment for their noble but illiterate customers. But Time, the old dog, Wflg alive long before clocks, before the first lover nrls sod his first appointment; nay, even before that ﬁrst appointment was made. To be sure, the story of time and tnatfs efforts to keep a tiinry of the surfs daily udvctitures ‘- n, long romance. and somewhat tlitllvult to trace. But the develop- ment of tnoderit cinematography ltas given us a way to show in pictures how time was reckoned, measured and recorded since our anthropoltorpltit- ancestors decided to quit their homes in the tree tops and to seek shelter in the hidden rose bowers of the primeval forests,

That is what has been done is one oi’ the recent editions of,n motion picture ﬁrm. llert- has bccu shown how primitive peoples mvasureti titue. in many instztttr-cs time nml distztttce are so relutctl that tiistuttrv is ntettsttred by a time device. Even today, ii’ you llﬁllpett to he lost on n country mud and ask u itativc of the place how fur it is to thc tienre-st station, he‘ will probably answer “ten niinu~ tcs’ walk." But his tcu mitntilos bcztrs no relationship to the tcn illllllllBs of your watch dial. Even in EUFUIYP today they still have queer trays of telling time. ln the tnnttntatlrts of Aioutenegro. distance is oftt-ti mcatsttrtrtl ‘by thc tim-v it takes to sitiolto n cigarette. They are ntodera-te- anti presume that a

which burneduniformly. The josa stick is somewhat similar to what good old King Alfred of England is said to have used way back in the oixht- hundreds. He was s great educator, and discovered that tallow candles could be used for dividing the time which he allowed his fighting’ nobles in which to make complaint; against each oth- er.

But as a rule prtmitlve peoples measured time by their daily oc- cupations. _Take for instance, the Juangs, a wild Kolarian tribe in- habitlng the hilly tracts oi’ South- western Bengal. Among them the unmarried women are absolutely unclothed, the men wear a strip of plantain bark about‘ their middle, while the marnied women wear bunches of sal leaves suspended front a. girdle. These leaves are changed in the morning and at mid- day, for the sun's rays dry them up and they grow crisp and fall off. (Yonsequentiy, they measure dim lance and time by the withering of the sol leaf. if you ask a Juang how far to a certain place. he may reply, “As far as two sal leaves take to wither.” As they die in about six hours, iris answer could oe translated as a twelve-hour Journey, or roughly ythiny-sls miles.

Some of the Mohammenan tribes of India and of the Indo-Malayati peninsula, who are addicted to chewing the betel leaf, use that as an indication of the passing of time. The leaf. usrepured with s. dub of lime antler sprinkling of spices, takes about twenty minutes to chew to a pulp. Anti llllg is taken as a standard of the time by them. .

Another tribe of the Indian up- lands, the Santals, tie knots in a string, which they open as the days pass. When they wish to invite guests for an auspicious ceremony they senti out several knotted strings to the invited guests, who know that on the day that the last knot is untied the ceremony will take place.

But onc of the strangest methods of telling time is used sometimes by the Malays. who ‘measure time by the drying of the rwet hair on a tnanis head.

is n0 new thought with you, of course-thc idea of :1 separate bed for each member of thc family.

This has been the custom with thousands of families for years-a rap- idly sprcading custom ever since Twin Beds put the separate bed at thc scr- vice of households where space is limited. i

ITis a thing, too, that doctors have i

The restlessness of one sleeper does not disturb the other. And there isn't any loss of vitality-as there is when childrcn sleep with old people, or invalids with the healthy.

But: even in a separate bed you will never sleep soundly unless your bed in- vites perfect relaxation. i

There is not a person anywhere but will sleep better for doing away with the creaky wooden bed or loosc- jointed noisy metal‘ bed and getting a Simmons Metal Bed instcad——with Waldorf .1301: Spring, and Simmons Mattress and Pillows.
