WHAT MAKES LIARS AND DRUNKARDS
THE human habits of lying, heavy drinking and exces- eive smoking were attributed by Dr. Ernest Hadley,, director of biological sciences at the Washington (D.C.) School of Psychiatry, to interruptions of feeding during infancy,
if re-
Irregular feeding exasperates the baby and this resentment, peated, creates a psychic state called "negativism" which results in stub- bornness, according to Dr. Hadicy.
In adult life, he explained, this "Inter-personal hostility takes the form of contrariness to all sugges- tions and commands.
You might get a Continental mani ringing up to ask a hundred-and- one fool questions, but how to cook the simple steak would not be one of them, for he will have known the answer ever since he was a small boy.
If Madame falls with a dish, Monsieur knows all about it, and why. The consequence is that in France and other Continental coun- tries, though raw materials may not be so good, the general standard of cooking is acknowledged to be better than in Britain.

Very few children are wilfully destructive. Their minds, which work instinctively rather than logically, know too well the pride of possession to destroy wantonly the things they treasure. But they have an insatiable curiosity which can only be appeased by practical investigation and not by theoretical explanation. To attempt to overcome de- structive habits by punishment is as futile as try- ing to abolish crooners by smashing up the radio
