HAD NEVER SEEN FLAPPER
Mrs. J. N. EngDe Missed Out OF
Home Features

A letter to the Detroit News from
its European correspondent gives
this story of how Mrs. Jesse N.
Engle missed some new features of
American life. Mrs. Engle has re-
Gently reached New York and proba-
bly, knows better now:
| Oberammergau, July 12.-How
old is the F1apper?
Seemingly, she has been with us
for very long time. Her bobbed
hair, her rouged lips, her knee
length skirts, her cigaret, her pocket
flask and her astonishing glibness
of tongue and of toe have become in
stitutions, and it is only the grand
mOtherly and reactionary among us
who wonder.
And yet-two and a half years
ago, Mrs. ]. N. Engle, wife of a
worker in the Y. M. c. A., left her
home in the United States. She went
with her husband into Poland, into
CZechO Slovaks, into many of the
Out-Of- the-way places in Central
Europe, where, for months at time,
she saw no American papers, and
spoke with no Americans who had
not been away from home as long
as or longer, than she. Her husbands
work was in Russian prison camps,
and Mrs. Engle grew familiar with
towns like Warsaw, and TuchOla, in
Poland, which was formerly in East
pruc0ia and Tndz
Travelling is broadening, they say,
and yet, cherished reader, consider
the benighted state Of this much be-
travelled woman! Today I talked
with her in Oberammergau-the
are taking a months vacation be-
fore sailing for home-and by her
own admission, she did not, until a
few weeks ago, know what an Amer
ican Flapper was.
II never realized" she told me,
chow long had been away from
home, and how out-of-tOuch l had
grown, until picked up an Amer
lean paper, few weeks ago in Ber-
lin, and read an article about Flap
per. 1t was in q Sunday Illustrated
magazine section, and it was accom-
panied by a highly cOlored drawing
Of a creature.
"It looked something like a girl,
and something like a child, and
something like a butterfly, for the
artist had given it wings, and 1t was
fiutteirng dangerously near a lighted
candle. l read the article, hoping to
have the mystery explained, but 1t
didn't help much. gathered from
my reading that the F1apper was
something presumably, but not posi-
lively human, which danced, drank,
smoked, showed its legs, swore and
sucked blood.
"Ffguratively, that is, gathered
that a F1apper was a vampire, and
reprehensible, though young. And 1
could remember nothing like that, in
nv experience So ! went to some
of my American friends In Berlin
who had been at home more recent
ly than /, and they told me all about
the Flapper."
Really, though, Mrs. Engle says
she doesn't think the Fapper Is as
bad as she is painted-or as bad as
she paints herself. From what l
hear Of the American F1apper," she
says, "she differs not at all from the
girls of Poland and Czecho SlOvakia,
Italy, France and Germany whom
have observed in the big cities. She
is, all over the world, just a sign OF
the times, part of the war reaction.
''The only thing that distinguishes
the American girl is that she carries
her own drinks instead Of being able
to get them where she likes. That
and her name. No European could |

Tom ID. Smith, the prominent at.

a candidate for the Republican nom-
inatiOn for attorney general arrived
in Dickinson county today and said
that his prospects for attorney gen.

Tom d. Smith was hOnored by his

and a son of a soldier. Four years
ago he ran second to Mr.. Hopkins In
a close race for attorney general, in
a short forty days campaign.
While in Abilene, Tom ID. Smith,
for attorney general Of
had something to talk about
besides politics. He looked around
over the city and said: Your city
looks to be Of population Of seven
or eight thousand. 1t is wonder
fully developed since l was last here.
And it has such we'll kept yards and
fine homes and gardens and clean
alleys and streets. Your people GER
tainly take pride in your city. The
,ivic work that is being accom-
plished here one could not speak too
highly of. Your county was organ
lied in 1857, but 1t has developed so
that the pioneers Of that
lay would not recognize 1t. Yes,

Where the Printer Comes in.

Outside of getting knocked by both sides now and then, and again com- plimented once in awhile by both sides, the prfnter-and editor-has the task of smiling when seeing print ing going out of town now and then, that might have been handled just as we'll and just as cheaply by the home print shop. However we also have the satisfaction of getting a great deal of printing from most of the home folks without being required to underbid the outside fellow, and in quite 8 number of cases we are al- lowed to charge little more. As a consequence we cheerfully pay margin extra for home products rather than send the money out of town for small saving.
 On the basas of the same quality of product we will gurantee that our house will never be greater than the merchants average margin above the mail order sharks prices for similar goods. And too, you keep a great CT percentage of your money at home when you buy printing locally, for printing is chiefly labor, the cost of stock averaging under twenty-five per cent.
 Let's get together and all trade at home, farmer, merchant, workman, printer and every member of the com- munity. We are all a pretty good lot when you know us better.

 their products which merchant 1 should give to local industries, just a.
 the merchants complain of the farm
 CTS failing to support the local mer
 chants. The merchant usually gives
 as his reason for turning down the local product-inferiorit in quality The farmer who patronizes the mail order house declares local prices are
 too high-that the merchant de mands too large a margin of profit. No doubt there are instances to SUD- port both claims Yet the News in- sists that the farmers deserve more support than they get and the mer- chants deserve better patronage than they receive. A little of the spirit of cooperation would be wonder ful help in both cases.
 The News would like to see a joint organization representing both farm CTS and merchants, thru which the grievances of both might be aired and a basis of getting together set tied upon: If both merchants and farmers would simul saneously agree to meet the other more than half way both would benefit.
 The development of the farming industry will benefit the merchant even if some of the wealth does slip away to the mail order house. The local merchant is necessary to the farmer and he would be able to do better by the farmer if he had all of the farmers trade, especially the cash trade like that which goes to mail order houses.
 How to get together, is the prob lem.

canton crepe with accessories to
match, featuring the new fall modes,
and carried shower bouquet of
BRIDES roses and lilies of the valley.
After the ceremony an informal re-
ception was held during which an ice
course was served. Immediately
after this the bride and groom left
for short motor trip to the noun
tains before going to their new home
in Jefferson, Ga.

ter of Mr.. j. L. Camp of Easley and
one Of the most popular members
of the younger set. She attended
school at Blackstone, Va, and An
derson College, and taught in the
graded school here the past session.
The groom, who il Il prominent
young business man Of Jefferson,
Ca, is a young man Of sterling char
actcr, and holds a responsible posi-
tion with the Standard Oil Co. Dur
ing his visits here he has made many
friends.
