New Orleans, Aug. 29 tUP)- Civilization may not be shifting so rapidly, but in the last decade the source of supply of the American breakfast table has moved from the plains of the middle west to the bungles of the tropics.
 While the preceding generations depended on the farmer of the mid Eest for their breakfast delicacies- he materials for the modern break ast table come from Cuba, Mexi Do and the South and Central Amer can countries.
 Breakfasts are not what they used 0 be. The old-fashioned breakfast bf crisp sausages, bacon, potatoes md heavy cereals is losing out. roffee, sugar and fruit, in fact all most everything for the modern breakfast except the toast and bacon, re supplied by the labors of swarthy Negroes.
 Each day brings many ships, eavily loaded with tropical cargo nto the docks of New Orleans. A reat part of the fruit and coffee sed in the country passes through his port. Just at this time of year, undreds of longshoremen are busy nloading large shipments that they hay be sent north as soon as pos ble.
 Mexico, Brazil and Costa Rica are Implying large quantities of unus- ally high grade coffee, while the Exceptionally fine fruits are coming ore and more from Cuba. A $21,- Do cargo of bananas from Mexico, razilian coffee passed through the prt in July. Hundreds of small hipments are bound north to supply Q breakfast tables of the nation. The cane fields of Cuba contri- lte large amounts of sugar.

ago, Il was looked upon 90 more or
less Of IN uncertain proposition and Q
good many pilots preferred to trust 70
their skill to avoid q crack-up In bad
landing rather than to bail out" of
the ship, not knowing whether or not
the umbrella" would open. In air
parlance a good landing is one that the
pilot can walk away from. regardless
Of the condition Of the ship, and the
skillful flyer usually took this method
even If it meant stripping his landing
gear or wrecking the plane, rather than
Jump.
One Of the most dramatic experiences
with parachute and probably one
that contributed UNNECESSARILY to its
good standing In the eyes Of pilots was
the jump made several years ago by
Lieut.. John A. MacReady, famous
transcontinental flyer, over Dayton,
Ohio, In the dead Of night. MacReady
ran out Of gas, and realising that the
situation, In so far as the landing was
concerned, was hopeless, deliberately
stepped out. Whether MacReady was
scared has never been ascertained. but
it is certain that he was no more
frightened than an unnamed resident
of Dayton who was walking calmly
along the street only to be hailed by
the flyer who was stuck high UP In q
tree over his head. It was a comic
ending to a near tragedy.
Since that night hundreds and per-
haps thousands of parachute jumps
have been made and there Is yet to be
recorded a single failure of a chute to
open if given the proper amount Of
distance, which is from one hundred
to five hundred feet. Verify, "take me
up with your parachute" may become
the song of the day. :-. .'

This parachuting seems likely to be-
come q popular pastime, although to
the average person the prospect Of STEP
ping out of plane two thousand or
more feet in the air Is not calculated to
increase the appetite. Yesterday. over
Roosevelt Field. New York. twenty -one
men went aloft in huge passenger
plane and twenty Of them, just for the
fun Of 1t, hoped out to fioat gracefully
to earth, secure beneath the bellying
folds Of their silken life preservers. The
pilot, the twenty-first man, would prob
ably have Jumped also, since 1t seemed
to be all the style, but there was moth
ing the matter with the plane and he
stayed with 1t to make q landing after
his passengers were safely on, their
way.
A new world record for mass jumping
was set by the performers yesterday,
and while It entertained the crowd ct

their lives. In the early days Of the

Ball Park Pests.

It Is refreshing to the many thou
sands of washingtonians who patronize
Clark Grifiths base ball team stadium
to learn of police activity to quell the
small army of young pests who extort
varying sums from them for allegedly
watching" their cars. One such youth
full "racketeer" found himself in court
yesterday for INDUCING In this practice
and although the Judge merely took his
personal bond for the offense his arrest
and court appearance should be q
salutary lesson to others Of his ilk.
Why this method Of bleeding the pub
lie has been permitted for so many
years is a mystery. The boys, except
in rare cases. do not actually guard the
cars and even If they did their guard
ianship would do no good provided q
thief decided to make away with either
the vehicles or the property contained
therein. In such a contingency they
are too small to be Of any use TO the
owners. As matter Of fact, they gen
orally disappear from the scene imme-
diately after they have made q CON
tract" with the rnotorist. only TO be on
hand at the ending Of the game. And
the motorist who incurs their youthful
wrath by underpaying them b likely
to find damage to his tires or car when
he next attends q ball game.
A few more arrests and perhaps few
stiff fines should impress these lads with
the necessity Of seeking other occupa-
tons. The police and the courts should
cooperate TO relieve . long-suf1erins

THIS AND, THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Walking, looking and reading-have
you ever stopped to think how much OF
living consists of these?
And the latter is, In a sense, a form
of the second.
There are many men and women to
whom these acts constitute the finest
recreation.
They have got past the time of life
when the deeds OF so-called flaming
hour" as the movies put 1t, leaves
them merely amused.
They have come to that saner view
point which consists Of regarding the
world Of living things with one-f1al1
pity, one-fourth tolerance and one
fourth love.
One may vary these proportions, &C.
cording to the individual temperament
There is no written law in the matter
ana perhaps no two would agree upon
the proportions, anyway.
Incidents such as the following have
given these good people pause: To call
boy lout because he was clumsy, q
fool because he was dumb, to learn
afterward that he was suffering from
q curvature of the spine.
After one such mistake, human as II
d to be intolerant, without knowing
the facts. the people Of whom we write
are willing to suspend Judgment.
They no longer jump to conclusions
dulge In wise-cracking sheer with those
who know It all. -
It Is this class of persons who find
more than ordinary pleasure in walk
ing, looking and reading.
Walking. to them, is at once the
easiest exercise, because it is the most
natural, and the most necessary, even
In an automobile age.
The spice Of danger is added through
the necessity for expert lodging.
cities tend to forget just what a trial
crossing street is nowadays.
One takes ones life in ones very
hands every block, and must dodge tc
live.
There are many traps, too, such as
being caught between trafic lanes OF
lured to step of street car platform
directly into the path Of an onrushine
car.
There Is no one who has not had
the experience Of turning white with
fright after some near accident In which
one became involved.
Often one Is left limp on q curb
with q realization that one came very
near getting knocked for q goal"
Yet these perils do not destroy the
charm Of city walking. It is still SC
primal that nothing invented by man
can harm 1t.
In addition to those who love walking
Tor itself, there are scores Of men and
women who have realized that irces-
SAINT riding Is bad for the general health
There are walking clubs.
The real walkers are those who walk
for the recreation Of the thing. Some
find that being out in the open air with
the large leg muscles actively at work
increases their power of thinking.
Many great men, among whom was
Charles Dickens, took long hikes, a.
walks over 5 miles are called, in order
to pep up" their thinking, especially
when they had some knotty problem &c
solve.
Others are so interested In what they
see as they walk that problem think
ing is practically at standstill. In
this, as in other affairs Of life, there
Is no hard and fast rule; what is good
for one is bad for another, and so on.
Walking unconsciously runs into
looking.
This is one of the unconscious annuse-
ments Of life which mankind shares
with the animals.
