DEFINING SOCIALISM

In a letter from James Henry McIaren, who is do
ing community work throughout the state, attention is
called to the fact that the word Socialism" is being made
to do duty as a term for a number of things which do
not properly belong under that classification. Mr.. Nc
Laren points out that there is such a thing as socialism
which is not tinctured with the evil spirit that attends
the manifestations of Bolshevism in Russia. and its par
allel in other countries of the world, including the United
States. S
This Is true. Socialism in it's original conception was
an economic policy. a fact which is quite generally I'M
lderstood and to which The Herald has called attention
many times. The city which owns its own waterworks is
carrying out a work Of socialism to that extent, and
wherever the community through its politically organized
form is carrying on a work of industry or trade it is to
that extent socialisttc. Few people at this age would in
sist that all such socialism is either morally wrong or
economically unwise. It has become accepted as part OF
the policy Of practically all people that the interests of
OF this nature. 1t would be absurd to draw any parallel
between such public operation and the operation of the
Bolsheviki. for instance. and no sane person would un-
dertake to make such comparisons. a
1t happens, however. that the word Socialism has
come by common consent to give a wider and different
application in this country y In discussing things it is
necessary for us to give them names, and in recent years
certain things in the United States have come to be
known as "socialistic.' These things are different from
the economic policies to which reference has been made,
and regardless of the confusion which sometimes arises
through this newer use of the term the chances are that
the custom will stick. We associate the word in this
country among other things with the Socialist political
party. and that party has been recruited from the most
undesirable elements Of our population. Acting either
as members Of it or in cooperation with it, are practical
ly all of those whose sympathies are with the lawless and
,anarchistic movements in either the old or new coun-
tries. At this stage Of the discussion it is useless to at.
tempt to limit the use Of the term Socialism to that
was formerly made Of it. The word today stands
and is likely to stand in the future for lawlessness and
anarchism in the United States.

THRIFT AND EXPENDITURE

Golfers Weekly published two sets of recommended
tions. the one from the War Savings committee, and the
other from the National Defense committee. The one
urges that the practice of saving which has undoubtedly
been stimulated during the war, be continued, and the
other that the spending Of money be resumed, and that
the things which the individual has been planning to pur-
chase be bought now. Clearly, the one recommendation
IS made with the end in view of marketing government
Of the country properly on their feet. 4
The two recommendations may be dramatically OPP
posed to each other in spirit and effect, or they may be
quite in harmony. 1t depends on the manner in which
they are interpreted. and on the correctness of that in
Terpretation. Preferring always to assume that all such
recommendations are made in the spirit of reason and
sanity. we find no conflict between them. In the one
case wise saving is urged. and in the other. wise ex-
penditure; and where the counsels Of wisdom prevail.
there is no conflict

MAKING RESERVATIONS

Various amendments to the draft of a constitution
for the league of nations have been suggested. From
the American standpoint the suggestion most frequently
heard is that there should be inserted a clause specifi-
cally excluding from the Jurisdiction Of the league all
matters affecting the force Of the Monroe doctrine. In
ssn,uch as. according to very excellent authority, the
constitution as 1t stands does not in any way infringe
q" the Monroe doctrine, there could be no special objec-
ton to the making Of such a reservation, just as there
could be no special objection to any one Of a number of
ether reservations, except that il the practice Of making
reservations to suit the peculiarities Of single nations,
there Is no telling where the practice will end. Once
start that practice and the constitution Of the league
viii be more marked by its reservations than by it's af-
firnative provisions.
: There is evidence in the discussion of the league con-
stitution Of the same spirit which has manifested itself
in recent years in the formulation of so many constitu-
tons. The ideal constitution is that which covers the
most ground In the fewest words, and which most COM
prehensiveiy lays down important general principles
without trenching on the field Of specific legislation.
But the prevalent tendency seems to be in the direction
OF Including in a state constitution everything that can
be thought OF. 1t is to be hoped that those in charge OF
the framing of a great world league constitution will be
able successfully to resist that tendency, and to present
to the world a document which will not convey the i'm
preston that all history had been ransacked for things
to put In 1t.

is. and then use the particular
stroke that will help her. Those
with weak backs ought to learn the
back stroke. After doing it for six
months they have more faith in
their own backs than in their cor
sets.
Brings Health.
Those who wish to gain more
grace and poise, should learn the
side stroke. The long slow arm
movement, the scissors kick, the re-
laxed body and perfect balance dur
ing the long glide between strokes
all help to gain these ends. The
muscles are normally developed
and controlled. and that means a
marked increase in gracefulness.
Walking and dancing will be better
than ever. The control of muscles
is made even more keen by diving.
To be able to control arms and legs
while upside down is an accomplish
ment indeed.
To gain all these benefits a girl
must swim regularly and vigor-
ously. A swim. every day means
lovely rounded muscles, a clear
skin, a body that moves with grace
and a smile that will let you in any

IN A JAR.

Why do American housewives stew
in stewpan? Why do they not fol-
low the example of thrifty European
women. who. for many centuries. have
stewed in a jar?
The economical advantage of the
stewing jar over the stewpan is obvi-
Gus. The jar retains heat much
longer than the pan does and it can
be taken from the fire when it is al
most cooked and set on the back OF
the stove to let the heat which it has
absorbed finish the cooking. More
over, it can be removed from the top
o. the fire and put in the oven when
ever UGH action seems expedient-
For the purpose of stewing, gray
glazed earthenware jar with a closely
fitting lid is the best Red jars some
times give way to the action Of heat
and salt and so crack and wear out.
To stew meat in a jar prepare 1t as
you would for ordinary stewing, and
place 1t over the fire or in the oven.
BY an occasional shaking of the jar
the meat can be kept from sticking.
The cover should be removed as few
times as possible. in order not to per-
nit the heat to escape unnecessarily.
Next to the fact that II Is econom-
ical, the chief advantage of jar over
pan for stewing is that the flavor
of the meat cooked in jar is un-
equalled. There is another big advan-
tage-the jar is easier to clean. More
over. If the cook is suddenly called
forth from the kitchen she can put
the stewing jar into the oven. where
it will cook safely without danger Of
burning until she returns.

correctly. Even taking q shower
soothes the nerves. and a swim does
much more. Worried frowns and
discontented mouths become beauti-
full with smiles IL you only swim
regularly. No swimmer ever has
trouble with sleeplessness: she just
can't keep awake.
Keeps Hips Small
The greatest advantage of SWIM
ming as an exercise for women is
that it does not require a great deal
of strength. Large disagreeable
muscles are not developed: but in
stead. beautiful smoothly working
ones. The crawl stroke will develop
the muscles of the shoulders and
chest and keep the waist and hips
small. If you can swim hundred
yards using the crawl and have your

W. Ss As
There Is no doubt that women
and girls are taking an Increased
interest in swimming. This is true
of all sports to some extent, but the
water sports hold first place. The
reason for this is that girls find
they can equal men in swimming
and at times outdo them as they
cannot in any other sport. The girl
who can swim out to the farthest
raft and do a fine high dive. makes
a pretty good pal on summer out
ings. Besides all the pleasure
gained from swimming, there Is also
the benefit to health and good looks.
A Beauty Aid.
To swim to health and beauty Is
no idle saying. A vigorous swim
sends the blood racing through your
body and away go all the bad effects
of a sluggish circulation. The
great amount of leg action helps the
digestive organs in their very inn
portant work. Wrinkles and ugly
blotchces on the skin disappear be-
cause these organs are functioning
