SPREAD OF RED PROPAGANDA
5olshevist Activities In the Various
Countries Are Under Highly sys-
tematlc Regulation.

In the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung,
one of the maDy publications controlled
by Herr SHINES, an annotated map
was published recently, showing the
organization of the Bolshevist propa-
ganda throughout the various countries
Of Europe.
According to this map, the entire
organization Is under a propaganda
committee, composed Of Zinovieff,
Radek, Chicherin, Lunacharski, Lit
vinoff, and Krassin. The working Of
this committee Is subdivided into Sec
tons, including an official section"
which has charge Of soviet diplomatic
and commercial delegations abroad; q
press bureau which controls the
numerous wireless stations; and
various secret sections" the func-
tons Of which are not made entirely
clear,
The official section Is directed from
Riga by Litvinoff. The Allgemeine
Zeitung declares that Berlin IS the
chief foreign center Of BoIshevist ac-
tivity, and alleges that the Berlin mis-
sion supports the Rote Fahne (the
Berlin Communists organ).
Next in Importance to Berlin is
Prague; but Milan Is also an important
prOpagandist center From this latter
point the tentaCles are spread through
the Italian, Swiss, and Jugo-S!av
regions. According to the map, Lon
don is not an independent center, but
is handled from Paris to which city
the Moscow authorities devote special
attention.-The Living Age

SAVING Power on RsiIrsGdA

Tests on the elevated roads and sub
ways in New York and Philadelphia
demonstrate that saving In power
from 25 to IS per cent can be accom-
pllshed by Judlcious coasting. On the
Second Avenue elevated line In New
York a check was kept on the motor
men by the installation Of coasting-
clocks which Indicated what part Of
the total running time had been spent
in coasting. This Is hardly feasible
or necessary on most surface lines, yet
proper Instructions to motQrmen, after
proper training for the work, uadoubt-
cdly results in an enormous saving Of
power.--ChriStian Science Monitor.

PREFER HOME TO BUSINESS
Do So With a View to Be-
coming Wives.

In normal times, twenty out of ev-
cry one hundred persons. engaged in
gainful occupations In the United
States are women. At present 1t is
believed that eight million women and
girls are at work and that a fourth
more will be when industry reaches
normal conditions. This invasion of
women applies to almost every field of
enterprise.
Yet these figures take no account
OF the vastly greater number Of wom-
en- who are not classed as in "gainful
occupations" yet perform the natural
function of women-home making
The woman who Is home maker may
not be able to count her income In dol
lars as accurately as the other, who
draws a fixed salary, yet she Is In
gainful occupation nevertheless. Her
Jewels" may be her sons and daugh-
tiers and her reward may be less f1nan-
cial, but she has 1t In the satisfaction
Of having done a woman's part In rear
Ing family. 1t does not fall to ev-
cry woman to give such service, but
to whomever 1t is given to be a wife
and mother the reward is not less
though it Is expressed In different
terms
That the position of home maker Is
the natural desire of women is shown
In that about as many step out of
"gainful occupations" annually as en-
ter them. Thus for most women such
employment is but temporary in con-
temptation of marriage. That SO many
are willing to exchange salaries for
the home is proof which occupation
appeals with more force to women.-

Tie SoGtr ern Intercollegiate
Athletic Association has a.
greed that in the future a boy
must spend at least one year in
college before being permitted
to play on intercollegiate
games, and that a boy who
once represents a college in a
college athletic contest can new
er again play on a team with
any other college.
The object of this agreement
is to keep professionalism out
OF college athletics. BY this
agreement the colleges say
that they do not want students
who come to college solely or
mainly to play football or base
all, and that they do not want
an athletic student to come
from another college solely
with The hope Of greater pay
or renoWn from athletics.
This was such a sensible step
TO take that one wonders why
t Wa3 not taken before.
Nobody objects to college
athletics, within reason. But
when athletics becomes the
main thing with college stu
dents or faculties or alumni as
5ociations, it is time to call a
halt. 80! +

Four great nations--France,
Great Britain, Japan and the
United States--are entering in
to a treaty concering the is
lands of the Pacific. The treaty
in brief, is an agreement that
if differences arise between
any or all of the four nations,
they will arbitrate those differ
ences, rather than go to war
over them.
This is all right, as far as it
goes.
But why limit the arbitration
agreement to the islands of the
Pacific? Why not include all
other matters in which these
four nations may have a COM
mon or conflicting interest?
And why limit the alliance
to these four nations? Why
exclude Italy, Spain, Holland,
the Scandinavian and all other
countries?
This quadruple alliance looks
to be all right, at first glance,
but the more unsatisfactory it
becomes. 1t falls so far short
of what it ought to be.
And it would be easy to en-
large it and perfect it.
