no public dance places, Mrs. Heustis
says.
Mrs. Huestis indicated that ahy

I'VE people of Los Angeles are

URGED AS CURE
FOR RFLAPPERS

for Conditions.

A solution OF the napper has been
discovered.
why all this talk about the flap
pers?" Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, presi-
dent of the District Congress OF
Mothers and Parent-Teachers' Asso'
citation, asked in opening the all-day
session of the congress in the Ebbitt
today
III the mothers would get down TO
business and find some place to put
the flappers and keep them from CAD
ding around the streets, the flapper
problem would easily be solved"
The congress went on record as ia
Voring a department OF recreation
for the District public schools, with
director and assistants. The pro
posal was made by Mrs. Leonard
Doten, editor of the Bulletin" Off
cial organ OF the local branch.
The trouble is the girls OF thir.
teen and fourteen OF today have no
proper places OF amusement, the
Mothers Congress head continued.
Consequently they run around the
streets and try TO initiate the older
girls. II they could find amusement
in the schools after school hours, |
think much of this so-called flap
perism would he ended.
I'VE have here in the District
seventy-eight Fairgrounds adjoining
schools, which are school play
grounds and distinct from municipal
Fairgrounds. Why couldn't Con.
gress appropriate enough money TO
equip these Fairgrounds with recre'
ational facilities, with supervisors,
so that the children would have
some place TO play after school
hours"
Mrs. Leonard Doten and Miss Vir,
ginia White Speel have been ap
pointed by Mrs. Rafter to look into
the matter OF securing a department
OF recreation for the schools here.
