lenses. restraints and inhibitions all
tend to hamper the natural function

known of all voluntary muscles. The

A noted athletic coach made q conf

public some sage advice about breathing
in which he solemnly told the admir-
ing throng that contraction of the dia-
phragm forces the air out Of the lungs.
The veriest schoolboy would know that
contraction of the diaphragm is what
draws the air into the lungs. Nor
mally, when the diaphragm contracts,
you take air into the lungs, and the
wall we're talking about expands, rises
or bulges. Then when the diaphragm
relaxes, the air is expelled from the
lungs (by simple elastic recoiD and the
bulge subsidies. Many badly educated
people try to reverse this process.

Everyday Psychology


Our energy comes mainly from what
we eat. OF course, It may be argued
that we get some from the air. some
from sunshine, some even from the
moon and stars. But these other sources
are negligible, even If considerable,
The important thing, with the excep-
ton of keeping alive, Is that some of
this energy Is expended in doing some
kind of thinking.
1t may be said that the human body
is a machine. Every cell, of which there
are. many billions, is part of this COM
pick mechanism. Each cell has some
thing to do with the creation and dis
triution of the energy that is made out
Of foodStuff. The brain is scattered all
over the body. The brain proper Is
merely the chief distributor of mental
energy.
Unlike most machines, the human
machine is a transformer. This trans
forming or changing of raw materials
into energy takes place within the body.
In all ordinary machines the trans
formation Is provided for outside the
machine. The internal combustion en-
CINE, such as is found in an automo-
bile, resembles the human engine
roughly. but only very roughly.
The average human body creates
something like 5000 Galleries q day.
Only about 900 of these Galleries are
expended in physical work. The work
of digesting-that Is, Transforming food
stuff into energy-conSumes probably
1000 caIories. The balance, some 400
Galleries, might represent a fair eSti-
mate of what is burned up In thinking.

isn't it terrible to be the mother Of
boy? There Is no rest for the spirit,
or for the body. Isn't it terrible?
Don is Q. He isn't bad boy. He
is healthy and mischievous, but he Is
good at heart. Why, that child will tip
toe about the house If I have q head
ache, but that's not what started to
say. It's terrible, really.
Last week a nice family moved to
our block. There Is a boy about Don's
age, Junior, they call him. A nice boy.
A very nice boy. He is respectful

himself clean-you know nice bow.
We'll, his mother called on me and
I returned her call as neighbors, you

warned Don to play nicely, so that this
nice boy would be allowed to play with
him. There is hardly child in the
village allowed to play with Don. It's
terrible. And since this last experience,
I suppose not even the children of the
mats will be allowed near him.
AS was telling you, Don went out
to play with Junior. didn't see where
they were going, SO didn't know that
they went up to Uncle Sammy's room.
He was a Civil War soldier, you know,
and all his things are stored in the
closet just as he left them. / never
touch them, never think of them.
"All of sudden heard the greatest
commotion. My new neighbor was out
on the lawn struggling with her son.
He had on an old Army coat and was
nourishing a bayonet and yelling like
mad. MY boy. Don, was on the other
side OF the hedge. brandiShing a knife,

Il raced out and grabbed Don and

into the house, he yelling and fighting
like mad man. Imagine my feelings.
I was washing his face and getting him

there was Mr.. Etarbuck, the constable

war-like weapons and using them.
Don hid under the bed. He got q
good fright. I explained to Mr.. star
buck about the weapons, and he tried
not to smile, and told me to hide them
where children couldn't get them, and
went home. But, of course, everybody
knows all about it, and it's simply
terrible. What shall do?"
Just keep still. Any healthy boy will
do just that, and more. Send him on
to grandmother's or Aunt Katie's, Who
ever will have him for a week or so.
and gather strength for the next time.
It Is terrible, but 1t isn't tragic. Can't
you laugh and go on?

The problem of either the housewife

how to look as well as possible in the

waist and hips gives 1t very good
chances Of survival
One of the newest Developments Of
the bolero idea is the bolero sweater
which was seen occasionally at the
fashionable Summer resorts worn over
sleeveless sports frocks on cooler days
These short knitted jackets were de-
cidedly simple and offer a suggestion
to the woman who knows how to knit.
A knitted jacket of this sort may be
worn without a coat or If you like it
may be worn to give extra warmth
under an Autumn coat. It has the
obvious advantage of giving protection
across the shoulders, arms and back
without adding thickness to the waist
or hips.
A simple way to make the new
knitted bolero is to begin knitting at
the lower part of the back-a straight
piece Of knitting extending up to the
neck. Here the knitting may be bound
on for about five inches in the center
for the back of the neck and the knit
ting should then be continued straight
down on either side to cover the Shout
ders and extend down the front. Both
these side front extensions are per-
fectly straight. The sleeves may then
be knitted in at the sides and the
jacket sewed up at the sides and down
the sleeves.

Physiology of Breathing.

The vital capacity of an adult is a
scant or Scotch gallon. Vital capacity
means the quantity of air that can be
breathed out by the deepest possible
expiration after the deepest possible
inspiration. But the average, normal
adult ordinarily breathes only a pint
Of air at each inspiration, an imperial
pint. One needs this pint of air every
8 or 4 seconds-15 to Is breaths q
minute asleep or awake. This ordinary
quiet pint Of air Is called tidal air. II
necessary, one can always draw In an
additional two quarts Of air over and
above the tidal pint. Also, when
necessary, one may breathe out an adj
ditional two quarts Of air to supple
ment the tidal pint. Even after that,
there remains in the lungs a quart
of residual air; this Is what makes the
