This getting up early enough-notice
that enough-will dissipate both the
mental and physical kinks, especially
the latter. But they are linked, and
that Is where the good breakfast, leis-
urely consumed, comes In. It IL impos-
sible for any one person to suggest q
good breakfast for another. Some like
full meal, others only few spoonsful
Of breakfast fakes. but the amount
eaten Is not the point. What counts ID
the way It Is eaten, and here again
there is Just one effective rule, and that
is not to hurry. This hurry is not 90
much the actual time taken to eat the
meal, but the way 1t Is eaten. What
ever Is taken should be eaten calmly
and not gulped nor forced down to meet
set program In time. The time element
II not good at 8 o'clock In the morning.
Forget all about time.
Any one can do that at least for q
few minutes. Mysterious time, which 90
ruthlessly marches on and passes byl
Fortunate is any one who can make It
stand still, seemingly, for q few minutes
every day. Precisely the people who do
not seem to be able to issue this i'm
perial command to time are the very
ones who ought to think most about
doing 80, for their firm determination at
least once a day to make time seem to
stand still, II for no longer than q small
breakfast, Is Just what II needed to
calm their own minds.
&H4 =
This calming Of the mind, that restless
thinking machine, Is what Is needed.
Some do it one way, some another, but
very good method Is that Of getting
up early enough to eat a peaceful
breakfast.
Many a person who hurries through
pace composed Of hurry and its at
tendant worry.
This Is not the energetic pace at all.
although some think 1t is. Select some
example Of this hurry-worry complex
and note that they never seem to ac-
complish more than the average. They
are wasting energy.
Energy Is not the thing to think Of at
breakfast. Even If it is to be used later,
1t must be kept out Of the breakfast
period.
The mood OF quiet and peace is to be
enforced after breakfast by period Of
lust settin," as the old folks called 1t.
No one will get so much good from
this enforcement as the man or woman
who finds 1t natural to leap for the front
door the moment the last bite Of food is
consumed
short period Of enforced rest, not
even reading, will work wonders for all
persons, but especially for those whose
natural instinct Is to make for down.
town on q run.
Some might think that turn around
the garden might be in order, but even
that is too energetic for this period.
Reading is out, too. It requires too
much energy.
What one does at this period Is to
dawdle, which thus comes to have q good
meaning after all. For to dawdle at this
time is to help digestion and bring
smiles to delight all those who see them
at the time and later.
This Is, and In a perfectly straight-
forward way, the real smile builder Of the
day. One may think of this or accept It
unconsctously, 1t works out to the same
thing in the end.
Thus "eat o'clock In the morning" be-
comes something more than "ate
o'clock; 1t proves to be happiness time,
and If any one doesn't believe this, let
him give it q fair trial, as suggested.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES &. TRACEWELL,

1t should be pronounced "eat o'clock
In the morning, not "8 o'clock" should 1t
not, the standard breakfast time?
Eight o'clock In the morning, and
all's well with the coffee, the bacon and
the eggs.
Eat o'clock" is an hour sanctioned by
time and long usage for thouSands OF
city people to take their first nourish.
ment Of the day.
Many have become 30 used to this
habit that they never stop to think about
the hundreds Of thousands Of persons
who have eaten breakfast at 6 o'clock
IN the morning, or even earlier; Of the
countless hundreds Of Thousands who
call o'clock their breakfast time.
Break fast, indeed long "fast" Of
IA hours-or less.
For the habit Of breaking the fast
between dinner and breakfast is o well
nigh universal one, too.
Almost every one eats O smack" Of
some sort as this in-between meal is
called. It may be after the theater, or
after the last radio program Of the
evening. It may be heavy, or very light.
It may consist Of almost anything to
eat. but probably glass Of milk Is the
favorite.
When breakfast comes along 1t Is
something Of q wonder that many per-
sons are able to muster up any appetite
at all.
Yet many manage to eat O real meal,
and the rest always eat something, just
to keep going as they say. Those who
deal In the subject Of nutrition tell Us
that the food eaten in the morning is
not available until the next day, but
surely there is q wonderfully comforting
feeling in a good breakfast, however that
may be.
It's "eat o'clock" in the morning.
then, and we sit down to eat. (We can
only say "ate" when we have flnished)
One should be in the proper physical
and mental mood for eating this meal
above all others. The luncheon and
dinner more or less take care of them
selves. They have way Of setting their
times according to circumstances. where
as the breakfast is set by the consumer.
That Is why this morning meal is
rather more important In some ways
than any Of the others. It surely Is not
something to gulp down and run, as 50
many do. all the time late
The best mental and physical start for
o proper breakfast Is getting up early
Probably 1t Is better to eat downtown,
as 30 many do nowadays. rather than
eat and run for 1t. This latter procedure
spoils the entire day for many. although
they seldom suspect it. But there is
little question that the human animal
Is not in good spirits in the early
morning. Just why this is so no one
ever has solved. Some persons men in
particular. require until 10 o'clock in
the morning to get In good humor.
The person who shows UP at his work
with smiling face is the exception.
Often he "rubs" others the wrong way,
as the saying is, because they have yet
to catch the mood.
Their surlineSs must wear of before
they are able to greet others cheerily.
It's a very good plan to get rid of this
early morning crouch" at home and
present to the world the bright smile Of
the old-fashioned copy books.
The best way to do 1t is to get UP
early enough. It takes some time in
some characters for it to disappear.
It's evaporation, like morning mists, is
something which requires q few min
utes, not seconds. .

Naval Expansion.

Because os the United States estab-
Hshed policy of parity with Great Brit
an. the huge naval program just sub
mitted to the House of Commons calls
for serious consideration at Washing
ton. Admiral Leahy, chief of naval
operations, promptly indicates that the
Navy Department will recommend
matching new British battleship con-
struction, if not all the additional YES
sels the London government proposes
to build. Britain plans during the next
year to lay down three capital ships,
presumably of $4,000 tons each, seven
cruisers and two aircraft carriers. The
cruisers would come within the plan
announced long ago, for increasing the
complement Of cruisers from so to 10.
President Roosevelt only recently ap-
proved arrangements for beginning in
1887 two 35,000-ton battleships to replace
obsolete ships, paralleling construction
commenced by Great Britain on jan
uary /. The administrations action was
in consonance with the parity policy
adopted after the Washington confer
ence Of 1922. The augmented British
expansion now contemplated confronts
the President, Congress and the coun-
try with the problem Of deciding whether
Uncle Sam shall continue to keep full

of the s7,5OO,oOOoOO which the latter
will expend during the next five years
Is to be devoted to the navy and air
force.
Although Britain is shouldering this
gigantic burden primarily as a measure
Of European defense, with the German
threat in the North Sea and the Italian
menace in the Mediterranean particu-
larly in mind, the Far Eastern situa-
tion is not left out of account. Britain
is alive to the determination of Japan
to become the interchangeable master
Of Asia, with corresponding danger to
the political and economic interests Of
Western nations. 1t was largely because
Of British absorption in Europe since
1881 that the Japanese, in the wake of
the Manchurian adventure, felt free to
pursue their aggressive policy in China.
The naval increase now projected at
London springs in no small degree from
an unmistakable purpose to reassert
British influence in the Far East, backed
by commensurate sea power. The Japa-
nese having persistently proclaimed their
intention Of observing q 5-5-5 ratio
as among themselves, Great Britain and
the United States, their resolution will
be Intensified by the British program.
The United States, being committed to
q SIS margin Of superiority over Japan,
Is thus for still another reason drawn
into the building rivalry now indis-
putably revived.
From the American taxpayers stand
point. such a competition is far from
welcome. President Roosevelt and Con-
gress have displayed commercially con-
sistent readiness to maintain naval de-
fense on plane Of unquestionable ade-
quacy. II 1t develops that such ade-
quacy requires this country to meet,
ship for ship and dollar for dollar, the
program demanded by British imperial
needs, there is no reason to expect that
the United States win shrink from what
ever sacrifices are necessary in the name
of national life insurance and for q
fleet second to none.

Senators and Representatives a chance

they are In entire sympathy with the
desires Of the President-more liberal

Take, for example, the constitutional
amendment offered by Senator Wheeler
Of Montana and Senator Bone Of WASH
ington, both progressive Democrats,
which would make it possible for the
Congress by two-thirds vote to over
ride a decision by the Supreme Court
holding a law unconstitutional. A num-
Der of other progressives may rally to
the support Of such plan, as q substi-
tute for the Presidents plan. That kind
of thing lessons the strength Of the ad-
ministration in the Senate, in the fight
for the Presidents plan. Another pro-
posal might be advanced that any law
passed by Congress by two-thirds vote
should not be subject to review by the
Supreme Court. It would, in effect, be
pretty much the same thing as the
Wheeler Bone proposal-and probably
would not get very far.

inhibitions Are Policemen"
However. there Is an important

It concerns inhibitions.
wish could find a word that
havors less of the guild books. But
I can't. So let's get on with 1t.
Inhibitions are those ropes, or po-
licemen or accusing fingers In the
mind that hold us back from doing
things, or even thinking certain
things.
There are some natural inhibittons
such as the instinct that tells us
we can't eat bark and live on it.
Also latent tnhibitions that tell us
we must not kill or steal. The ease
with which civilization has fixed
these ideas In neighbors, shows that

growth.
But most inhibitions are man.
made. They had to be, SO that we
could live together. But they went
berserk.
Bigotry and prejudice crept In.
7 was considered sinful at one time
to admire beauty and wicked 10
dress nj colors. It was even wrong
to smile. Again, there was contempt
fro other denominations or creeds,
and, children were taught that 1t
was wicked to love, or even lige, one
belonging to these cult.
Some InhibitiOns Handicap Adult
It has been considered wicked, in
the space of history, even to speak.
and whole sections went mute for
years. And as for dancing-that Is
we'll within the memory Of most
of us, when to dance was to go
straight to the devil.
All these things resulted in many
an otherwise-sane adult finding
himself powerless, once the bars
were down, to smile. or to speak,
think even, Of perfectly normal
things. As for dancing, maybe he
eventually tore away the mental
ropes thaht bound him, but his feet
never moved in the stateliest minuet
without q feeling Of furtive guilt In
his heart.
He had lost the power Of enjoy
ing some perfectly legitimate fun.
So In this mattre Of regimenting
the child, 1t Is necessary to be care
full about the "kind" of inhibitions
we instill. He must have many, as
these hold-backs are necessary, but
he can also be filled full 70 nonsense,
that will rob him Of the power of
personal choice later on, and fill
him with guilt when doing a per-
fectly reasonable thing. We must
analyze our own prejudices, and be
sure Of what we are doing.
