Blames aren't
For Flapper's
Faulty Habits
By LUCILLE F. SAUNDERS

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-" Flappers
are going to make good mothers Tor
the coming generation.
This is the declaration of Miss Mar
-jorie Martin, the young Brooklyn wom-
an who has Just been made head of
the First National Standardized Health
Exhibit put on this month. She is the
first woman to hold 4 national post OF
this character.
u haven't single don t to lay
down to the modern girl.
II can t understand why we have all
this Worrying about Mother Nature not
keeping on the job. The good WINS out
and our exhibit is just to show how to
help the cause along.
.'The mother of the future is going
to be better than the girls of the
sixties, who thought it improper to
have limbs, to say nothing of exercis-
ing them.
.'The tomboyish reaction of the flap
per is wholesome after the era of So
phistication we have had.
Miss Martin admits that if she has no
''don t, she has a list of ''do'' sug-
gestions. Here are some of them:
DO take as much care of your body
as you would of your flivver and when
nut or bolt gets loose use the proper
tools to get it back in place.
Do get back to the ideals of sim
plicity of two centuries ago.
''Do give your skin the same chance
to breathe as your nose. You wouldn I
put clav there, so don t wonder about it
if your plastered complexion gives up
the ghost.
''D Do oil your crank shafts and brain
cells with good books and good music,
Health is not only bodily comfort, but
contentment and peace of mind.
"Do get out of doors enough. The
health of Brooklyn must have improved
$50 per cent when we had & street car
strike and the people had to walk. The
most pernicious habit in America is
spending that extra five minutes daily
ing at the office so you have to take a
ear for a short run.
And as for the married couples, do
have the grit to begin where your ia
ther and mother began instead of wait
ing until middle-age to begin where
they left off. y
Miss Martin thinks the future genera
tion is going to be the most beautiful
the world has ever known because it
knows how TO take care of itself Most
of the real faults of flapperism she
blames on parents.
$50 far as booze IS concerned, she
said, ''what can you expect of them
when their own fathers and mothers are
such persistent lawbreakers.
Cigarette smoking did not start
with this generation, nor will ii end
here. 1t will quit of its own accord
when the medical profession has learned
the exact amount of harm it does.
'Girls are even more sensible about
what they eat. The idea that they
lunch on ice cream sundaes belongs III
the same class with the mother-in-law
| Joke. -

Mother and Baby Perish in Flames.
white COUNTY,

Monday night Mrs. Robert
Presley and 1l-months-old babe
perished in the flames that con-
sumed the residence which they
occupied. The house was on the
place of William Austin, about
three miles southeast of town.
Mr.. Presley came to town Tues
day morning to procure a casket
for the remains of his wife and
baby and related the shocking
tragedy to The News reporter as
follows: He had been plowing
that day and his wife was help
ing in the field. Being very
tired they retired shortly after
supper. About 8 O'Clock Mr..
Presley was awakened to find
the house on fire and the roof
falling in. He sprang from the
bed and ran out of the house,
but quickly returned to rescue
his wife and baby. He heard
his wife call, but could not get
to the room on account of flames,
and the wife and baby perished.
After the house had burned it
was found that the bodies had
been almost entirley consumed,
only a few bones of Mrs. Pres
ley were found and the torso of
the baby. The building was a
two story log house with frame
rooms built to it. 1t is thought
the fire started from the kitchen
fue
Mr.. Presley is twenty five
years old and is a renter on Mr..
Austin's place. He had been
married about two years, his
wife being Miss Rema Hensley.
The remains will be inferred
