The Problem of Breakfasts
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

enjoy breakfast. This Is particularly
true OF nervous persons whose vitality
is low in the early hours of the day.
Then a cup of coffee seems to offer just
the. mild stimulant the system Graves,
Usually a little later In the day a glass
of milk and few crackers are very
welcome II Is advisable to precede the
coffee and toast Tor rolD with an
orange or grapefruit. Cereal is op"
tional, many preferring TO omit 1t, while
others think no breakfast quite COM

it. Another group of persons who
should have simple breakfasts are those
who eat a hearty dinner at night. A

and SO their breakfasts should be light.
Where there are children who so a
long distance to school, a hearty break
fast starts them off in the day well sat-

you ever realized to what great en-

with mental equilibrium? A well nour-

disastrous as one that is too rneager.
If the man of the house has to hurry
off to catch a train taking him to the
city for business, a breakfast that Is
easy to digest should be
served The hurry Immediately after
the meal is not conducive to good di-
gestion. The meal should be sufficient
" nourishing. but not one that taxes
the stomach to digest. This is one rea-
son why eggs are favoriteS to serve IN
any of their numerous ways, 1t Is adj
viSable not TO serve them alike two days
In succession. Bacon is tasty accom-
paniment. and so little is required to
add Zest TO the meal that 1t may be
served on successive days.
The wise housewife watches the needs
of her family carefully in this matter
of giving the right kind Of breakfasts.
1t is a mistake to follow too closely any
fashion. for one time the hearty break
fast and another the meager breakfast
is in vogue. Remember that hearty
dinner at night implies a simple break
fast in the morning. while dinner in the
middle of the day implies hearty
breakfast, but no rule can be Arbitrary.
Individual needs should be the criterion.

RADIO BEAM SEEN
THREAT TO CABLE
Success of Marconi System
Makes British Merger Lead
ing World Unit.
Success of the Marconi beam system

Success of the Marconi beam system
Of radio communication precipitated the
recent British cable radio merger, maxi
ing the new-formed British holding
company the leading unit In world COM
munication This conclusion is inevi-
tably drawn from study OF G. Stanley
sShoup's report on wireless communica-
tion in the British empire, which has
Just been issued from the Governments
presses. Shoup is assistant chief OF the
communication section OF the Depart
ment of Commerce.
Although Shoup does not concede the
fact in so many words, 1t Is apparent
that the coordination of the British
empires cable and radio systems Is
placing the British in a superior posi-
ton to the United States. Our vaunted
supremacy in world communications is
certainly seriously threatened at least.
What American business needs to worry
about chiefly is the probable dictation
of rates by the British.
In this country. the cables and radio
are disintegrated though they are seek
ing to amalgamate to some extent. The
Mackay cables across the Atlantic may
be supplemented soon by radio system
which will be inaugurated when the
Federal Radio Commission grants the
necessary short waves.
Talk of Merger.
There is talk of merger between
the Radio Corporation of America, with
its operating radio circuits reaching all
parts Of the world, and the Western
Union. with its transatlantic cables

giant competing companies to vie with

and other atmospheric disturbances In
other parts Of the world
While the Americans are working out
a beam system of their own, British
Marconi engineers are striving constant
ly to improve the existing circuits, and
hope further to reduce fading and per-
feet the simultaneous transmission OF
telephone and telegraph messages.
Probably next In order, says Shoup,
will be facsimile transmission.
Cuts Cable Traffic.
There Is no doubt that the beam has
taken traffic away from the cables, just
as radio has In this country. In the
British empire Shoup finds that large
share of the rapid success Of beam serv-
ices has been at the expense of the
cables, although he points out that a
certain amount of new traffic Is created
by the cheaper radio rates. 1t Is
claimed that the construction cost OF
beam stations Is only one-tenth that OF
cables. This estimate is probably con-
servative.
The principle of the beam system is
aptly described by Shoup. ''The ordi-
nary system of radio transmission" he
writes, 'is perhaps best Illustrated by
