Flapper No Soul, Artist
 Asserts

Atlantic City, N. J. June 10 -"The modern girl has no heart, no soul. no sentiment-if she has she refuses 10 admit it. says Franak K Leyendeck- CT, one of the beSt-known artists and illustrators in the country.
 You do not dare talk to the fan per or classics nor of other serious things, he continued, flor she simply will make no attempt to absorb them She is idle, frivolous and needless of tomorrow However, I will admit that she is charming and often ire sistible
 She looks so young but knows so much-much that she could do well not to know. She assumes no respon- sibflity. She seeks nothing but amuse- ment- When Q boy reaches the flap per age he usually has some obliga- uon to fulfill. He gets a job, or else he is branded as a loafer. The girl. however, spends her time reading frothy literature and smoking.
 In my opinion the only hope of the nation rests upon the working girl She has more originality and individuality than the flapper, who looks to me as if she were made from a die. Each working girl has her particular style in clothes and coif- lure.
 But the flapper, How can won tell one from another? The only dan ger with the working girl is that she is apt to become so self-reliant that she will scorn the help of mere man. But that danger is not so probable that any flapper should be afraid to reform and become working girl"

out of a hundred Chang is right.
 Not that he enjoys cutting off
 heads, but he will stand for no
 foolishness, and everyone knows
 it. He is a power-what we call
 in America a go-getter.'
 Chang Aided Japan.
 Chang is said to be the son of an and during his boyhood had a rough-and-tum scramble for existence that probably left an indel- ible iron imprint on his character. As he grew older he fell in with a hung hutsu (robber or bandit) gang, and because of his initiative and bravery he soon became the leader. During the Russo-Japanese war Chang and his men fought on the side of Japan and rendered no small service to the After the war he and his followers surrendered to the Chinese Government at the request of Japan, which then needed their services no longer.

After elimination of House amend
ments declared TO mean virtual nulli-
ication of the measure, the Senate
Yesterday passed the substitute COM
pulsorv education bill by a vote of %
to IL, with four other members
paired. An effort to put the question
to a Statewide referendum was also
turned down.
While the Objectionable House
amendments were rejected, opponents
of the bill succeeded in killing a
number of its features, including that
putting the attendance enforcement
in the hands of criminal authorities
and also secured change whereby
the penalties are reduced from max
imum of 500 to $50 and Jail sem
tences eliminated. They also excluded
private, denominationai and parochial
schools from being compelled to make
numerous reports and &c require their
teachers to hold certificates from the
State Board of Education.
As passed, the bill provides for the
compulsory attendance of all children
of school age between the ages of s
ana II ' cal -. C!Cull - given IOi az
tendance at private, dcnominational
or parochial schools or for instruc-
ton by tutors at home, providing the

voive on the division superintendent

HOUSE FAYORS
CUT IN FUEL
FUND OF navy
S10S,500,000 Voted to Meet
Deficiencies of Various
Departments
ELIMINATE HELIUM
Chairman Madden Asks Action be De-
layed Until Committee Can Com
plete its Investigation.

Washington, March 4.-Withont a
record vote the House yesterday
passed and sent to the Senate bill
iappropriating approximately $685.
100000 to meet deficiencies of various
Government departments. The larg-
est item carried in the measure is S94,-
100000 for the Veterans Bureau.
A provision which would limit to
S6,300,00O the amount the Navy De-
partment would spend for fuel during
the next four months remained in the
bill without provoking discussion.
One of the few amendments adopted
increased the total for the enforcement
of the maternity act during the re-
mainder OF the current fiscal year
from S37O,000 to S490,000. The bill
also carries $5,000,000 for the initial
payment to the republic Of Colombia
under the treaty recently ratified as
settlement Of the Panama Canal
controversy.
With less than 100 members on the
floor, an amendment whtcn would have
made Sl50,0OO available for develop
ment of helium with a c1ew 10 using 1t
to fill dirigibles was rejected by a
2-to-l vote. The amendment was
offered by Representative Lanham,
Democrat. Texas, who plead with the
House to be more liberal in providing
funds for exneriments in the uses of
the gas. which is noninflammable, and
for conservation and development of
the supply. The recent Roma disaster
never would have occurred, Mr.. Lar
ham declared. if the airship had been
filled with helium instead of hydro
gen gas.
The helium plant al Fort Worth,
in experiments with the gas and IN
world capable of producing the gas
in large quantities, has been closed
since last November 30, Mr.. Lanham
said. because finds have rot been
available to continue operations.
Chairman Madden, Of the Appropri-
ations Committee, opposed the amend
ment on the ground that the subcom-
mittee drafting the army appropria-
ton should be made for heiium de-
velopment. Congress, Mr. Madden
|held. should not authorize further ex-
pend!tures until the subcommittee had
made its report No request has come
from any Government department for
additional funds 10 produce helium
during the remainder OF this fiscal
year, he added.
During the discussion Chairman
Anthony. of the subcommittee, which
is studying the helium situation, as
serted that Congress had been fairly
liberal in providing funds for helium
production; that more than S1O,000,-
600 had beer expended BY the Govern
ment since the beginning of the war
in experiments wit hthe gas and in
developing the plant at Fort Worth.

HARDING Still
INSISTS ON A
TAXF'()RB BONUS
Stands Pat on Sales Measure
While House Approves
Script Plan
NO VETO EXPECTED
Leaders Believe Their Action is Poll
tical and Least Burdcnsomc of Any
So Far.

Washington, March 1.-THE Repub-
lean members of the Ways and Means
Committee Yesterday unanimously ac-
cepted the bonus plan agreed upon
Yesterday by the subcommittee in
charge Of the question. This assures
favorable report of the plan to the
House, and probably assures its pas
sage in that body.
About the same hour the majority
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee reached this decision. it was
stated at the White House that PreSi-
dent Harding was still standing on
his recent letter TO Chairman Ford
ney urging the sales tax as a revenue
source to meet the cost of the bonus.
On the face Of things, there Is an
other conflict between the President
and the leaders of his party in Con-
gress over the bonus. However. if the
leaders in the House GO through with
their plans, and if the Senate follows,
there will be surprise should Mr..
Harding interpose strong objections
or exercise his veto when the bill
reaches him.
He is committed 10 the bonus and
there is very general belief among
Republican leaders that good politics
dictates the passage of bonus bill
before the Congressional elections in
the fall if any possible means of meet
ing the costs can be found that Will
not cause a tremendous bareback. The
Republicans in the House believe that
they have found the way to do that,
although under analysis their plan
is not far removed from bond or
short-term certificate issue, TO Whlcn
Mr.. Harding has been opposed.
