Every afternoon at 4 o'clock they had
their tea. There was nothing in the mere
matter of being the first men to cross
the Atlantic in a lighter than a!r ship to
ldisarrange the fixed habits Of those 80
tturdy young Englishmen. 1t would have
been a real discomfort had they been COM
PEELED to forego their tea. They also had
monographs to give them the inspiration
If jazz tunes. 1t was quite like Picadilly
tr Oxford street.
1t is characteristic OF the E~nglishman,
Especially the young Inc venturesome
Englishman, that whatever he does is
40 more "a a part of the days work.
It Is also a British characteristic to abide
by fixed habits Whenever it is possible.
Under severest stress the Englishman can
depart from routine. but he is far less
teadily adaptable h his American cous
h. Americans may laugh at the 4 o'clock
lea aboard the R-A. but this will in no
measure lesson their admiration for the
lea drinkers aad for their splendid
Achievement.
A young officer jumped overheard when
1he R-34 was 1000 feet above the landing
place at Roosevelt field. He did It quite
as q matter Of course. 1t was no exploit
Of brayado. He was detailed to &
ashore and superintend the landing Of
the ship. and was quite annoyed that
anyone should assume nat he had done
anything thrilling or unusual.

INSUFFICIENT RECREATION

This was the statement made by
Miss Elizabeth Kelley, physical in
%structor tor women in the Berkeley. Cal:
high school and assistant physical dt-
rector at the University of California
THE reason for this state of affairs"
Miss Kelley asserted, lis because there
is nothing but commercialized amuse-
ment for the young people. The NOV
les, the dances and the pool halls, all
public concerns and run for profit, af-
ford the only place our young men
and women can spend their leisure
hours.
"A movement has beer started to
provide amusement for the little folks
in the nature of supervised play
grounds. That is good. but the munich
pality should go further and provide
more clean, wholesome amusement for
the older young people,"
Miss Kelley spoke at the second
monthly luncheon of the newly formed
Civic League for Women Voters.
