BOYCOTTING THE FLAPPER

The day of the fapper, her flop
ping goloshes, her petting parties, her
Camels and Fatimas are almost over.
The young men of Babylon, On. "
have said so. The young men of
Syracuse have indicated a thumbs
down attitude. The yourg, both male
and female, of our own locality have
decrecd her day of effervescence over
and gone. A sudden sense of pro-
priety has seized upon the youth of
the land, the male of tn, species hav-
ing imagined lack of fundamental
virtue in the female, which he pro-
poses to resolve out Of existence.
The reason therefore is obvious.
The province and prerogative of the
male have been challenged. Ever
since war days when sweet sixteen
donned uniform and DOTTED the cere-
monies of introductions and safe and
sane acquaintanceship, she has been
staggering into easier ways. At first
the male person laughed. The atti-
tude. being novel, struck him as rath-
or funny, cute, attractive. 1t has
ceased to become Il novelty. He OBJ
jects to having his stock of cigarettes
persistently depleted by Fannie's
Got a smoke on you, JIM" He has
decided that he wants them all to
himself, not only the smokes but the
swaggers. And he will win. He has
taken the surest way when he, the
young man of today, through the
mouths of the young men of Baby
Ion, On. W says:
Resolved, we do agree not to be
seen in public with any young women
who practice these useless and non-
sensical fads."
In face of this boycott what flap
ping Fannie can persist.

READY FOR THE CHANCE

ITO have a thing is nothing if you've
not the chance to show it,
And to know thing is nothing, I'M
less others know you know it,"
He who wrote that could easily
have been in better business. One as
we'll could say that enjoying an afflux
of blessings would be impossible were
there not others to see and admire. or
possibly envy. If young Tommy"
O'Brien of Brighton ever happened to
read those lines he estimated them
as sound rather than sense, and kept
right along growing. He was getting
ready should the chance come-and
it came.
Chore boy around a soda fountain
at 10 and district attorney of Suffolk
County at 81 means plenty of hard
work and excellence of vision. There's
many a young chap who has these
and not all get to be district attor-
neys but most if not all of them are
repaid for the effort. OF course that
power which erring men call chance"
enters in but it's coming is no favor
unless one is ready to receive.
Young O'Brien recognized chance
when he Tipped a coin to determine
whether he should be content with
the Brighton high school or go to the
Boston Latin School but he didn't de-
pend on chance to help him make the
most out of the latter. However, this
isn't the place for the sermon which
might be written, although there is
after all, little novelty in this getting
ahead, it is being done all around us,
and many will be ready when the
main chance comes to take advantage
of it. Anyhow, like the athlete who
trains for the contest they will have
the satisfaction of feeling "ft" wheth-
err they run in the race or cheer the
victor from the sidelines. But what
ever happens you never hear them
whining that there is mo show for
them" That is SANDER on the best
country under the sun in this matter
of giving every man his chance. soon
or or later.
