BY BERT MILLER,
Organizer District No. I.


|nURING the past few months Dis
- trict No 1 has held a number Of
functiOnaries' conferences. These con-
.ferences were very much worth while,
in so far as they furnished an oppor-
tunity to reach the leading comrades
of the various units on the broad gen.
eral questions of party work. How
ever, they had one serious shortcom-
ing. This was that they did not fur
nish an opportunity for the detailed
discussion of organization problems
which is necessary. For this reason
bi-weekly conferences have been ar
ranged to which are invited only the
section and city organizers of Boston
and vicinity. OF course, such confer
.ences should and will be arranged for
other parts of the district, but at the
present time they are arranged only
for Boston and vicinity. These confer
ences are attended by about 10 com
rades only. l will try to give some
idea of what work such a conference
does.
Discuss c. |. Decision.
First of all we take up the Commun-
ist International decision on organiza.
in the greatest detail. Each para
graph is read and discussed in the
light Of the situation in our district.
In this way it is possible for the city
and section organizers to cover in a
definite and systematic manner all the
chief points on organization in the
Communist International decisions.
The discussion centers around how
the points made in the Communist In
ternational decisions can be applied
locally.
Exchange Of Experience.
Following the discussion on the
Communist International decisions,
we have an exchange Of experiences.
In some cases the discussion centers
around one particular topic, like How
can we increase attendance at meet.

tivlty on the part of comrades" etc.
Organizers tell the latest wrinkles in
organization that they have put across.
For instance, one organizer has just
reorganized his section in the follow.
ing way. He found that he had 3
nuclei which contained comrades who
were not strong enough politically TO
establish these units on a functioning
basis. On the other hand he had 2
concentration groups which previous.

OF motion. 1t gives a sort of waddling
gait, swaying from one foot to the
other in jerky manner. And when
steps cease and a standing position is
taken positions are laughable. So you
can readily see why the admonition,
Watch your STEP" is needed now,
not with any slang significance, but
in all earnestness.
Standing Position.
To point a fault and not give any
suggestions for Improvement is always
mistake. So let us see how this
common fault Of position can be recti-
fed easily. for no woman wants to ap-
pear awkward or ungainly. First of
all, see that when you stand you draw
your feet close together. This helps
decidedly. Next, be conscious that
your knees touch. With feet together
and ankles close and knees touching
good position Of the legs Is acquired,
and it is of this that we are concern
ing ourselves today.
Hints on How to Walk.
When you walk do not swing your
feet out and then down, but out a lit.
tie, then in a little and then down.
This will make your footprints come
nearly on line. Irene Castle, the IA
nous dancer, walked in this way, and
she is an example of a graceful walker.
Practice walking a crack" and you
will soon see what is meant. Each
step must be exactly in front of the
other. or you get off the line. If you
are at the seashore, notice your foot
prints on the beach and see how near
ly in a line you can make them.
Correct Pastures.
A correct posture of the legs when
sitting is also important. The one in
high favor just now is feet together,
and in a straight line, with
toes pointing out and knees together.
1t gives a trim look when skirts are
so short that almost the entire length
Of legs is visible from feet to knees.
Also this tends to keep narrow skirts
from getting bulgy where the knees,
unless close together, would constant
ly be pressing against them at strain
ing weaves Of cloth. So If you would
keep your skirts in good shape, you
must sit right.
II will be seen that correct sitting
and standing positions are essential to
a good appearance, and that correct
is necessary to grace.

Shall We Lower the Standard?

A few months ago I confessed here
that 1 had changed my mind about
(a) the cropping of the hair Of women,
and (b) the participation Of high
school girls in public basket ball
games. 1t seems that in an old mo-
ment I had sort of implied that the
mutilation was almost immoral and
that the participation in the basket
ball game tended to make a girl too
bold Soon afterward a correspondent
who called himself Jim" suggested
that 1 hadn't changed my mind at
all; he thought I had just lowered
my standard. Jim" and his argu-
ment remind me Of barberry thorn;
it got under my skin, all right. But
changed my mind on these two
points, and I do not believe I have
lowered my standard.
We still have with us the double
standard" Of morals, although it may
not be quite so barefaced as it was
a generation ago. A young man may
still break the moral law without
suffering the loss of his reputation;
young woman may not.
1t does seem that we are moving
toward a single standard and getting
farther away from the double stand
ard in recent years. But this single
standard which we seem to approach
is a lowered standard, not the old
ideal single standard at all. Where
there is so much smoke there is usu-
ally some fire; all the talk about
fiapperism, the wild ways of modern
youth and so on has some sound
foundation. Nevertheless the same
old double standard on which our
fathers and grandfathers based their
oat sowing prevails today. The young
man Of 1925 still ''settles down after
a more or less lurid interval and
when he settles down" he expects
| to find himself wife as pure as a
mans children's mother ought to be.
Some of the sad wrecks in our crowd
ed divorce courts indicate that-that
| the single standard ain't what she
\ used to be.
However, in spite of everything,

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
By BRIGGS
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. ID.

there are still plenty Of goox women
IN the world, and as a matter Of
honor and chivalry the man who
would marry a good woman Is in
duty bound to present evidence of
his fitness to marry before he begins
his suit.
No matter who the man may be or
what his social standing, the double
standard of morals under which he
lives places upon him the onus of
handing a certificate of health to the
woman's parent or guardian when
he seeks consent to an engagement.
This certificate should be given by
a physician whose professional stand
ing is known to the parent or guard
ian, and 1t Is reasonable, though not
infallible, evidence that the prospec.
tive bridegroom has no communicable
disease. BY no argument can a
suitor excuse himself from this OBJ
legation. And by no argument can
a parent or guardian of a young
woman today excuse himself or her
self from assuring a daughter or
ward this measure of safety, health
and happiness.
Likewise. I think, a parent or
guardian should suspect any man
who fails to present such a certificate
at the time he breaches the matter
Of an engagement, and withhold con-
sent until proper information is forth.

A chemist observed his wife and

Then he produced Chex-a super
fine toilet soap with an odorless de-
odOrant combined. It's proving to be
the wonder soap" of the age

A Piece of Cake.

Cake bears the stamp of approval
as real food. The Journal Of the
American Medical Association points
out that a slice of bread, spread with
butter. Is almost twice as rich in fat
as the corresponding amount of choco-
late cake. These congratulations,
however, are misleading. The analysis
OF one piece of bread made from a
different grade flour may yield a diff
ierent amount of calorieS because of
the different ingredients. If the bread
IS not whole grain the most essential
elements are miSsing-the mineral
salts and vitamins. Food can contain
hundreds Of caloriees, and mineral
salts and vitamins are present, real
NoArishment Is lacking.
An analysis of one piece of choco-
late cake may yield so many calories.
An analysis Of another piece of chocO-
late cake, made with more butter,
twice the number of eggs, milk in
stead of water, will yield more
calories.
So Mrs. Overstout must not be mis-
Jed and think that because a certain
slice of bread, spread with a certain
amount of butter. was twice as rich
IN fat as a certain slice Of chocolate
rake, she can cut out the bread and
butter and eat the cake.
Cake is a food Good cake is a de-
1ightful food 1t Is allowable when
common sense governs the eating of
s. After a heavy dinner, when the
stomach has already been filled to
capacity and taste inveigles one into
the eating of a piece of cake. indi-
pestion may follow. And that is the
harm Of the cake lure. One may be
tempted to overeat Appetite and en-
ioyment Of simple. natural foods may
be killed. Sweets. instead Of being
subordinate, may become the predom
tnant part of the diet.
White flour Is acid forming. Cane
eugar is acid forming. Eggs are acid
forming. When these ingredients are
all mixed together in a cake the re-
suit is an acid forming concoction
Many base-forming elements in the
way Of fruits or vegetables should be
taken to balance the meal.

Oil paintings may be cleaned

Add a little gasoline to the
water when scrubbing floors

A dish of water placed in a
hot oven where pies, cakes or
puddings are being baked will
prevent scorching.
When papered walls become
soiled sweep them down (never

brush. Then go over them with
a soft cloth. Your wallpaper
will look like new.
Kid articles. such as slippers,
purses and belts, can be cleaned
by rubbing them with French
chalk.
You should always empty the
water out of the tea kettle
after using it and rinse 1t thor
oughly before filling with fresh
water. This prevents the thick
white sediment from forming
at the bottom that so soon
cakes the sides of the kettle If

Grace Assured by Watching Step
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Watch you step.' is a slang ex
preston familiar to all of us. Tt is
one OF those expressions which have
become slang by the way they have
been used. rather than because of any
popularity Of meaning or combination
OF words. In fact, it is a most excel.
lent bit of advice. Never was it more
applicable than today, for, when skirts
are short, the way a woman walks
accents grace of movement of feet and
legs or stresses awkwardness.

There is perhaps no more sure and
effective way of lifting room entire
ly from the realm of commonplace
than by choosing for it an exotic and
beautiful wallpaper.
The dining room shown here owes
the inspiration of it's stunning color
scheme to the handsome Japanese
paper which adorns it's upper walls.
This paper has a white ground. The
flowers are rose and red, the pine
trees display several shades of green
and brown, and the pheasants are in
naturalistic colorings.
The wainscoting, like the wood
work, Is a pale buff tone. The window
draperies are gauZe woven in rich
blue and green, the draperies of the
doorway are deep blue and the up
holsteries on the dark mahogany
chairs are deep red velvet. The dec
orative glassware in this dining room
is all ruby red, and red dominates the
coloring of the small-patterned Ori-
entail rug which Is on the floor.
