Cat oat your paper-dolls in peace and in public. Indulge in any idiosyncrasy that strikes your fancy. (There are other people crazier than you.) According to the papers, a man in Chicago, (Charles Beasley, a radio engineer) has invented a fog-horn to help those who suffer from insomnia. The inventor says the device is guaranteed to put you to sleep if you’re in the right frame of mind. (So ‘‘mind” is a prerequisite. Knew that was a catch in it somewhere.) He invented it for his wife, but it worked so well he made more models and sold * them to business men who had trouble sleeping.
The apparatus looks like an inter-communication box. It is ten , inches high, has a six-inch speaker and can be plugged into any wall socket. It makes a noise resembling a fog-horn, only softer and more monotonous. "Most people can’t sleep because they get started on a certain train of thought and can’t stop, the inventor explains.. "But the ‘slumberhug’ keeps' interrupting the thoughts and jumbling them up until all you can do is go to sleep.” , ' •
Brings to mind the story of the mother’s opinion of .the father’s singing the baby-to sleep: “The poor thing went to sleep to get rid of the noise.”
