NEW YORK CITY, April 13.-Let
those who bemoan the bold, bad ways
of the modern flapper take heart. In
few more years, she will be endur-
ing her share of grief and envy as an
even wilder generation flaps daringly
before her outraged vision. Twas ever
thus. History shows that every age
has had its recalcitrant young people
who have rebelled against the disci-
pline of their elders and caused great
anguish to the public-spirited.

Listen to this:
1.-THE girl of the period is creature
who dyes her hair and paints her face
as the first articles of her personal
religion; whose sole idea of life is
plenty of fun and luxury; and whose
dress is the object of such thought
and intellect as she possesses.

If it were not for the one word mid

this vitriolic criticism was penned by
Mrs. E. Lynn Linton, once popular
English novelist, as early as 1858. We
are SO accustomed to having the late
war blamed for all the giddy behavior
of the present that it Is something
hopelessly hayward. AS a matter Of

not been lifted UP against the needless

The Riley Hospital

A great humanitarian project is under way
in the erection of hospital for Indiana children
in Indianapolis. The hospital is to be a memorial
and lover of children
The hospital is to perpetuate his love for the
youth 1t is a humanitarian movement whose
appeal finds a warm response in the hearts of
all of us. A helpless or crippled child is an OBJ
ject of our tender solcitude and sympathy. Few
are the men and women, here or elsewhere, who
will not help to alleviate the pain of child or
to perfect health
Secretary of Labor Davis, who was the prin-
cipal speaker when the campaign in behalf of
the hospital was launched at Indianapolis few
days ago, said that what was being done in the
name of Riley was being done for humanity.
How true this is! Riley needs no hospital
or marble shaft to perpetuate his fame, for that
rests firmly on the basis of his achievement.
But a hospital, dedicated to his memory, will
keep fresh in our minds the love which all of US
should have for the unfortunate child who is i'll
or crippled The help we extend to the found
ing of that institution will increase our own
love for humanity.
The hospital will be a state institution to
which the children from all the counties may be
sent on equal terms 1t provides free treatment
for any afflicted child. If the parents are I'M
able to pay for medical attention, they may ap-
neal to the Judge of the circuit court for permits
sion to send the child to the proposed hospital.

Put in Your Screens

The fly season will soon be here, and those
who put in their screens promptly will be taking
the best of precaution against the insidious fly.
Chcago's board of health says:
ely screens are recognized by the health
department as one of the most efficient prevent
ative and sanitary measures. They should be
put in place early in fly time, and used continu-
ously until the snow flies. Keep the common
housefly out of your house and away from your
food.
Screen your windows. Begin in your
warfare against flies. You cannot begin too
soon"
