KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

at evening, at times so well that they
hope to escape that morning slump
but they rarely do.
ks psychologist who is vigorous, of
fine physique and who bears strains
well confesses that at times he awakes
quite inert and depressed, but that a
firm, 5-minute determination to get up
and go through his exercises is enough
to dissipate this feeling. That is a
mild, a miniature example Of it. The
more definitely neurasthenic have a
longer struggle to get over the bar be-
tween sleep and normal wakefulnesS;
but resolution may help; so may a cup
OF black coffee; so may a resignation to
suffer for an hour and await the pass
ing Of the clouds.
The guess, then, is this: That the
transition from sleep to wakefulneSS Is
difficult for the neurasthenically dis
posed they sleep and they awake on a
pattern deviating from the normal. It
may be partly in the circulation, partly
insthe accumulation of secretions, part
ly in the mysterious regulation of brain
states that gives some persons tend
ency to trance OF Somnambulism or de-
liriuyn. What is striking about the
morning feeling is that it is so common
and so commonly associated with con-
siderable group of nervous" signs. The
morning doesn't last, nor does the feel
ing. But misery until 10 am. isn't a
pleasant companion.

Virginian or Pennsylvania.
We were impressed, for example, by
the thought of just how great 1t must
be to be Georgian after attending a
meeting of the natives of this State the
other evening.
DR.. Malcolm H. Dewey had brought
his aggregation Of college songhirds OF
Emory university all the way from
Atlanta to sing Negro spirituals and
Southern melodies to some 1900 or 1000
natives Of, Georgia who now are in
Washington.
And was 1t a Georgia evening? Why,
the ballroom of the hotel in which the
meeting was held was just as much a
part of Georgia as If 1t had been in the
heart of Georgia's capital. And when
the boys concluded their program with
the singing of Dixie" the applause
must have penetrated even to the Vice
President-elects apartment on one Of
the top floors Of the hotel.
Senator and Mrs. w. ]. Harris were
seated in box well up to the front.
Senator and Mrs Walter r. George also
occupied box with q party OF friends.
Every Representative and his wife
from the Cracker State was present. We
picked out in the crowd the faces Of
Representative and Mrs. Thomas M.
Bell, Representative w. w. Larsen,
Representative and Mrs. z. E. Cox,
Representative and Mrs. M. G. Tarver
and Representative and Mrs. Leslie
Steel. All occupied boxes and were sur
rounded by Georgia friends.
Unless our memory fails us, it was
the request from Senator Georges box
that prompted the singing of the most
popular of all Negro spirituals, Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot"
Occasions like this are typical Of SIM
liar ones staged by the numerous other

Florida or any other State may have

cards himself as a Washingtonian, but

The simplest answer to this question
is that we don't know; or, still more
simply, I don't know. We can make q
guess at it. Certainly that morning
feeling Is very, very common in persons
otherwise well and even robust Chill
dren don't have II, not often, nor many
of them, though they don't all wake
equally easily and cheerfully. 1t goes
down pretty deep into the vital make
up, as does everything that relates to
consists, awake and doing things, get
ting tired, resting and sleeping.
The question centers about the tran
sition from the one state to the other,
falling asleep on the way down, getting
awake on the way back. We differ in
our falling asleep habits, from those
who drop of the moment they touch
the pillow Tor hay) to those who have
to WOO sleep long and uncertainty. II
they have very much trouble In getting
to sleep or in staying there until rested,
we say they have tendency toward in
somnia, and that certainly Is a sign OF
q certain sort of nervous disposition.
Well, waking up unrefreshed and with
that morning sickness is likewise a sign
of q nervous disposition, and an even
more definite one; for we can place 1t IN
the general region of neurasthenia.
Neurasthenics. with few exceptions, feel
worst in the morning, even when they
are fairly well. and when they're not,
the morning Is a special misery or

A song shop Is an intriguing place.
One will learn something about the va
riety Of tastes In music. One customer
was a. white haired, Immediately dress
ed man. He wanted to get record. IN
doubtedly he desired meditative num-
Der or perhaps Schubert's "Serenade."
Of course he might have asked for an
Elman violin piece No, would the sales
person, let him hear something like
"Those, Big, Bouncing Baby Blue?
You never can tell. Then there Is the
customer who doesn't recall the name of
a number she wishes, but 1t goes some-
thing like ''Tum-di-diddle -de-de." Oc-
casionally the sales person catches
enough of the air to know what the pa
tron wants.
Few places are more inter@ting than
a music store.
A skidding car offers several kinds of
danger. If it does not slide crafty
against pole or curb, there Is always
the risk that it will strike another ma
chine. This happened several times last
Saturday. It recalls the story of man
who was attempting to cross the street.
As he stepped from the curb, he heard
the warning blast of an approaching
car. He leaped back, and just at that
moment the machine skidded and hit
him. Rubbing an injured member. he
exclaimed, TITS bad enough to have
them chase you without 'en passing
you and coming back to kick you"

skinless figs. # dried figs are used

glass baking dish, sprinkled with o few
gratings of orange peel. covered with

have been told recently that one
reason why separate coats and jackets
had been In such great demand this
season, in spite of the Importance at
CACHED to ensembles, was not that Amer
lean women had gone back on this
idea, but that they had come to prefer
doing their own assembling.
One way to proceed Is to buy q coat
or hat or frock and then to go ahead
and get the. other necessary parts to
match or In harmony. Another way is
to select coat or wrap, frock and hat
in neutral tone and then knit UP the
parts of the costume by number Of
matching accessories.
And for these assembling sets there
Is much demand. One well dressed
woman I know has ordered a number
Of simply made frocks of natural-col-
ored pongee which she intends to vary
by means of number of scarf, belt
and bag sets Of gaily printed silk. Some
of the sets include two scarfs, one for
the neck and one for for the hat, a belt
and bag. There are sets that include
shoes-the shoes being covered, at
least in part. with the printed silk.
For warm weather wear there are scarf
parasol sets-sometimes with belts to
match.
