Chicago, March 11.-Parents Of the
male flapper are holding Indignation
meetings throughout Chicago, to pro-
test against "vamping" of their poor
defenseless sons by sweet young
things still in their teens.
How to curb ''petting parties" the
popular pastime Of the younger gener-
alton everywhere, it seems, occupied
most of the discussion at the conven-
ton of the social hygiene associations,
at which were represented the Chicago
Women's club, the Woman's City club,
the Parent Teachers club and other
prominent women's organizations
The girls are to blame for all the
"petting' or 'snuggle- -pupping" that
is going on, it was decided.
Girls Always Lead Folly
DIR. Rachaelle Yarros, chairman of
the convention, voiced the sentiment of
the gathering When she said:
1T is always the girl who leads the
way, either for good or for i'll. If she
does not maintain the standard, how
can one expect the boy to do so? She
holds the situation in her hand. 1t is
she who started flapperism and it is
she who must end it."
To Miss Lillian Collier, young and
pretty proprietor Of the Wind Blew
inn, credit is due for coming .snuggle-
as new word for future die
tionaries. Since she used it in court
after the raiding of the CEN
ter of Bohemian activity in Chicago,
it has been generally accepted here as
synonym for ''petting."
"Snug0le.Pupping' Persists
''There is no ''snuggle- -pupping at
the Wind Blew inn." she announced
so emphatically that she was allowed
10 keep her place open until it was

TRYING TO GET GOLD
OUT OF DUST IN AIR

Washington. March 11.-Getting
gold out of the air is being attempted
by the government at the New York
assay office, according to statement
by Director of the Mint Baker. Tests
of new process are being carried
on there. he declared. by which the
air, smoke and dust which escape
from the molten gold and carry off
minute particles of the precious metal
can be refined, so that none of the
gold is lost.
Good progress is being made in the
tests, he declared. and it is thought
that considerable saving to the gov
ernment will result, while extension
of the method to commercial plants
should make possible the utilization of
all gold employed in manufacturing.
