Simple Way» Suggested
To Prevent Nervousness
Learn to relax, both at work and
during leisure hours, if you want to
avoid that bugaboo of civilization,
nervous tension, Leonard Allen, New
York, advises. Here are a few sim
ple suggestions:
At work avoid the strain of monot
ony and immobility; get up and
stretch or walk about for a few mo
ments each hour. Plan a complete
break from activity sometime dur
ing the day.
Check up periodically to see
whether your workday activities are
all aimed directly at the attainment
of your goal. Tolerate useless activ
ities only as recreation. Keep away
from unnecessary deadlines.
If you are a housewife, Mr. Allen
suggests, “ keep a chair or stool in
the kitchen so that you may be seat
ed while you work. Avoid body
strain by wearing sensible shoes, not
bedroom slippers. Eat at mealtime,
and keep away from the icebox be
tween times. Set aside a regular
rest period each day. Do not be
excessively fussy about housework;
strike a happy medium instead.”
During your leisure, learn to for
get your work entirely. Recreation
should not involve activity too close
ly resembling your work. Nor is it
wise to clutter your leisure time
with ceaseless activity. "People un
wisely assume that vigorous recrea
tional activity will naturally neutral
ize tension developed on their jobs,
but this may not be true,” the author
says. “ Unless rest is an intermedi
ary, new exertion will simply create
added strain. Always devote a cer
tain portion of your leisure to com
plete rest.”
W anted: H ot Flugelhorn
Player, Must Be Good
The following classified ad ap
peared in a newspaper:
“ MUSICIAN: hot flugelhorn play
er, must be able to take solos, swing
blues. Apply W. W. Herman, Circle
7-0162.
It seemed like a good idea to find
out what a flugelhorn was, nobody
around the office knowing, except
perhaps H. A. S., whose day off it
was. A call elicited the following:
“ A flugelhorn is a four-valved in
strument, a little larger than a trum
pet, but resembling a trumpet in
size, shape, and form. Its pitch is
B-flat, producing a tone between a
trumpet and a trombone. The tech
nical manipulation is that of a trum
pet.
“The lip action in the blowing of
the instrument is somewhere be
tween that for a trumpet and a trom
bone, and needs special aptitude in
blowing. The technical name for the
lip action is ‘embouchure.’ The in
strument has a baritone voice.”
The advertiser explained that it
was one of the oldest brass instru
ments, but had never been used to
play hot music before.
Mexican Indians Drink Pulque
The universal beverage of the
Mexican Indians is pulque, a fer
mented product ot the maguey, or
century plant, which is generally
produced under the most appalling
ly unhygienic conditions, Nathaniel
Weyl, author of Woodstock, N. Y.,
says in a symposium on Latin-
American culture published by the
Columbia University Press.
“The almost ubiquitous lack of
sanitary drinking water has stimu
lated the pulque habit,” according
to Mr. Weyl, who reports that Otomi
peasants with whom he talked ad
mitted that they consumed as much
as seven quarts daily. “The Mexi
can Indian baby is given the same
lethal diet as his parents. In some
regions, infants are weaned with a
cloth dipped in corn whiskey.
The Mexican Indian's diet, it is
pointed out, is based on maize and
brown beans. Chili is introduced to
stimulate the digestive juices, but it
has a caustic effect on the stomach
and intestines.
