BOY SAVANT GOES
To FLAPPER DEFENSE
Sixteen-Year-OId VaIedictorian
Of Atlantic City High School
Flags Grown-up Critics.
TREPIDATION.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., July l.
The flapper. both masculine and fem
mime, has good standards and high
aspirations and critics are unjust, as
serted Daniel Debrier. sixteen.year
old honor student. in his valedictory
address at the commencement exer'
cises of the Atlantic City High
School.
People have the idea." he said
that because a girl wears short
fringed dresses, bobs her hair and
adopts a vocabulary of her own, she
is immoral, and because a modern
boy covers sixty miles in sixty min
utes in his motor car, because he
dances nightly to the latest Jazz
music and considers parental disci
pline a training to be administered
by him to his parents, that he is be
coming ungovernable and wayward
and he will grow up unworthy and
unable to carry burdens thrust upon
him.
Youth has been accused OF every
thing that Is sordid because q few
narrow minds and self-conceited per
sons have been allowed to have their
say. They merely have a wrong
point Of view"
Flappers, both masculine and fem
mime, he said, are signs Of the time.
and they want criticism where 1t be
longs and not upon youth.
Where does the fault lie?" the
boy asked. Our parents have re
ceived their share Of blame and they
have been characterized as blind be
cause they do not see our follies
Others attempt to solve the problem
by saying that the fault lies with
youth itself, while still others claim
the freedom Of today Is due to war, tC
the abandonment of religion, or to
the decay of home influence. An
swers are hazy and the question still
remains"

LIQUOR PERMIT

ohio Senator Would Make
Prison Terms Mandatory to

BY international News Service.

Senator Willis Rep.) OF Ohio.
dry" leader. struck hard yesterday
at those he accused of forging.
counterfeiting or using liquor per-
mits and physicians prescriptions
when he introduced a bill in the
Senate imposing heavy penalties
on anyone convicted of a practice
which, he declared, was flooding
some sections with bootleg booze.
The bill would impose not less
than one years or more than ten
years imprisonment and a fine Of
not less than 81 900 or more than
alters. forges or counterfeits any
permit, physicians prescription
blank for intoxicating liquor. letter
writing or document used or pre-
scribed by the United States under
law or regulation In connection
with the enforcement of the ma
tional prohibition act or any law
supplemental or amendatory thereof

assists in any way in such false
making, altering or counterfeting
thereof or who knowingly uses, pos
sesses or Is in any way connected
with the use or possession of such
false, counterfeited or altered per-
NIT, blank. or letter of confirma-
ton.
"The use by violators Of the pro-
hibition laws Of counterfeit with
drawal forms and other Govern
ment forms necessary in the work
Of the prohibition unit has retarded
the enforcement OF national prohi-
bition more than any other one
cause" Willis said.
Whatever red liquor has been
bootlegged for considerable time
past. has been released by the dis
tributors on counterfeit withdrawal
forms or through outright rob-
berries. The master minds of the
bootlegger rings have been able to
employ skilled counterfeiters to
counterfeit these forms. and the
counterfeits in many instances have
been very good limitations of the
genuine permits.
The prohibition unit recently
went to considerable trouble to
have these forms double water
marked: one water mark being the
seal of the Treasury Department,
visible when the permit is held in
a horizontal position, and the other
water mark being the word pro
hibition' being visible when the per-
NIT Is held in a vertical position.
These permits were printed from
an engraved plate on sensitized and
specially designed paper.
Notwithstanding the precautions
taken by the Government. however,
the major violators of the prohibit
ton laws have been able to effect
excellent counterfeits Of withdrawal
permits. The counterfeiters have
found II more profitable to counter
felt withdrawal permits OF whiskey
than to counterfeit United States
currency"

Indian Emerald Mines
Located in Colombia

NEW YORK, July Tine Con-
quistadores. when they seized the
rich emerald mines Of Colombia,
forcing the native Indians to work
them, suspected the existence OF
other mines. After search OF
three years in Colombia Christopher
Dixon, engineer for the Colombian
Emerald Syndicate, who arrived
here this week. says he has located
some of the ancient mines hidden
from the profiteering Spaniards by
the natives.
The emeralds Of Colombia are the
finest, but not the biggest. in the
world, and the country produces
more than all the rest Of the world
combined. The recently rediscov
cred mines. Mr.. Dixon said. are
about two and a half days journey
from Boeota. Mr.. Dixon will stay
here a month comforting with the
heads of his company.

PREACHER OPPOSED
To ALL BLUE LAWS
True Christian Must Have
Within Himself the Peace
of Sabbath Day.

PITTSBURGH. July LAWS de,
signed to force Sabbath observance
ultimately will do more harm than
good. according to Rev. Stewart Mar.
tin Smith. pastor Of Donora Baptist
Church here and chaplain Of two or
ganizations of world war veterans.
THE peace and quiet OF the old
time Sunday cannot be forced upon
a people that is slowly but surely
changing its definition of religion,
declared the Rev. DR.. Smith.
II know the closed Sunday in Pitts
burgh and l know the open Sunday
in Paris, France. In Paris discov
cred as much genuine piety as ever
discovered in Pittsburgh.
None Of us keeps the Lords Day
as was originally done. Times
change. So long as man gives one
seventh of his time to the spiritual
demands OF his nature II Is his owr
business as to when, where and how
he does II.
"The true Christian will never be
disturbed II he has within himself
the perfect peace OF which the Sab
bath day Is a symbol.
This subject, like the question o.
prohibition. is greatly complicated
by the increasing participation Of
women In public affairs. Not be
cause women are better than men
but because they have been mis-
guided in the matter of moral reform
I'm the first place. they can only
be reasoned with. Time and expert
ence will teach the women Of this
country that they must not get toe
naughty in telling men what TO do.
"Our best women already realize
that their conquests must be in the
realm Of love and moral suasion."

But girls wouldn't be girls unless
they took up all the fads, and beauty
experts have been kept busy plying
the scissors for over two years as
locks fell thick and fast over grace.
full shoulders.
And II the beauty experts and
tonsorial artists OF the city got to,
gether and took on themselves the
task OF plating all the golden locks
deposited in their chairs by devotees
Of the bobbed-hair fed, the line OF
human hair would extend from
Washington to San Francisco, 1t is
estimated.
What becomes Of the hair? The
sad truth of the matter Is that the
beautiful and glistening locks ore
now being used in the very prosa:c
business of making pin-cushions. pill,
lows. mattresses. dolls wigs. and
sundry other novelties, say the
beauty experts.
Hair that once was the crowning
glory of some woman's face may
now be a necklace woven with sill
YER and gold wire and worn with
evening dress. The belt some fe-
male wears, having a very sheeny
look, may be the hair that only
shortly before gave her SO much
trouble to do up.
During the past year 100000
worth OF queues were imported
from China by merchants in the
United States for manufacture OF
the very expensive and excellent
press cloth. The utilization OF hui
man hair Of American women has
not yet attained the proportions OF
an industry. In fact. American
hair Is considered too fine for use
in the manufacture of cloth.
The novelty uses OF bobbed hair
are confined to the individual, and
the average woman, loath to part
with her shorn locks. finds some
way to save therh," say the beauty
experts. Most girls ask the barber
to give them their hair back, and II

with them. No end OF dainty things
are being made out or their hair by
the girls. Other girls know OF a

cushion or mattress, but the bust.
ness Is by no means an industry.
There are other girls who have
an eye for the future and leave
their hair at the beauty parlor to
be made into puffs, curls, switches
wigs. For who knows when the
bobbed hair fad will be over and a
woman will want her hair again.
A puff or a curl only costs rs cents
and a whole wig of ones own hair
about $25.
But for the time being the hair
bracelet or the stuffed-hair pin
cushion Is the fad the girls have
adopted. II you want one of these
novelties, be sure and ask for your
hair back when you go to have II
bobbed, say the girls.

Sex Hygiene Is
|Old Maid Hobby,
|Says DIR. Grandy

NORFOLK, Va, July 1.
SEX hygiene is an "old
~ maids" hobby, says DR..
Charles R. Grandy, one Of
Norfolk's best physicians and
president of the city school
board. The study will be
barred from Norfolk schools,
DR.. Grandy says.
He says the practice Of
permitting experts sent
here by the Government to
speak in schools, will be sub
jected to the closest scrutiny
in future.
DR.. Grandy declares he has
studied sex hygiene from a
medical and educational
standpoint, and says it is
being taught by "old maids"
He believes the subject could
be taught to boys and girls
separately, and opposed the
plan Of women speaking to
classes composed Of both boys
and girls.
