Rug Cleaning

Some people send their rugs to
the carpet renovator shop which
cleans them and stores them until
fall. If there is none in your town
lit may even pay you to ship it
some distance to secure this serv-
ice. If you wish to clean your rug
at home, it may be scrubbed.
Lay the rug on the floor.
Kneel on a garden cushion and
scrub it with a stiff bristle brush.
Rinse and wipe dry. Do not use a
circular motion in scrubibng. The
greatest difficulty is in producing
even cleanliness. Spots scrubbed
too clean will stand out and look
faded.

Horseback riding is a great
luxury for those who are able to
afford it. Basketball, if mildly
played, is good for women, but
there is danger that it becomes too
strenuous. Volley ball can be
played by those who are too old
for basketball. Fencing and dane
ing develop grace, poise and agil-
ity; but social dancing can become
health menace, by keeping one
up late in lily ventilated rooms and
by continuing too long. The ex-
element may prevent one from
feeling the ill effects at the time,
but they are there and will show
up later.
Swimming is sport de luxe at
all seasons of the year. Many
cities have swimming pools for
winter use and women are coming
to make larger use of these.

The average human being who
reads about the special virtues of
vitamin ID for the prevention II
ricketts,, for aiding the growth OF
bones, and for improving the body
generally, is likely to think that vita
min d is a medicinal substance
limited to the use Of human beings.
Few people realize that one Of
the most extensive uses Of vitail.n
substances is In aiding the growth
Of animals in developing the Egg
laying properties Of chickens and IN
stock and poultry raising generally.
In fact, this use is so important that
much OF modern research on the
subject has been devoted primarily
TO the needs Of animals rather than
TO those OF man.
Already numerous henhouses are

Clash of Attitudes

Gerald Swope's recent proposal for an elaborate in
dustrial plan to avert depression has brought into the
open an important conflict between two attitudes toward
modern life-a conflict Of which we are going to hear a
great deal in the coming decade.
Swope presented a complicated scheme for the
guidance of national economics. Owen ID. Young, fol-
lowing him, summed up the issue succinctly by remark
ing:
1.-THE question is whether the people who are call
ing for economic planning really mean what they say.
Are they willing to surrender their individual freedom to
the extent necessary to execute a plan?"
1t is no exaggeration to say that that draws the line
along which a tremendous battle of words is going to be
fought in the near future.
In the past the people of the United States have
chung tenaciously to the old ideal of individual independ-
ence. The right Of the worker to choose his own en-
ployment, the right Of the business man to run his business
as he saw fit, the duty of government to keep its hands
off of the machinery-these have been cardinal points in
in our creed.
1t is only recently that this creed has been seriously
questioned. The "laissez faire' school of economics had
almost a unanimous majority until hard times came.
Now, however, we are hearing demands for five-year
plans, for comprehensive schemes like Swope's for con-
certed action that will smooth out the rough places.
Whether or not any Of these plans will finally be
adopted is beside the point. The thing that needs to be
recognized now is that adoption of any of them will mean
that we shall be obliged to give up some of our old free
dom.
We can't have it both ways. We can go along in the
old course if we prefer, guided by the traditional notions
about individual initiative and lberty-but, when hard
times come, things will have to be allowed to work them
selves out. Or we can put elaborate plans into operation
to minimize the industrial cycle and insure a steady in
come for all hands-but, if we do, we shall have to modify
our old ideas about individual freedom very materially.
The conflict between these two attitudes will be-
come rather important during the next few years. We
might as well start thinking about it right now.

Gandhi and Chaplin

One of the most interesting stories about Gandhi
to come out Of London was the recent revelation that the
famous Indian leader had never heard of Charlie Chap
lin.
Gandhi Is unlike other world leaders in a great
many ways; but somehow nothing emphasizes his diff
ference more than this. Is there, anywhere else if the
civilized world, an informed adult who doesn't know
who Charlie Chaplin Is?
Probably not. Yet Gandhi, in some way, seems to
have built a successful life despite this lack. The west
ern world holds little that appeals to him. He has al
ready told us that he does not want our machinery or our
Inventions; now he reveals that he doesn't care for our
amusements, either.
