Chicago Students
Contend Flappers
Modern Necessity

CHICAGO, Feb. is. Flapping is
not an accomplishment; it is ne
cessity in these days of speed and
life. But there are two kinds of
flapping-the bad flapper and the
good high school flapperette.
This information is contained in
an article published in the Hyde Park
Weekly, the official student publica-
ton of the Hyde Park high school
here, a school known as the FLAP
pers' paradise"
An article defending the high
school flapper says: Since Hyde
Park high school is known as the
'flappers' paradise it becomes our
solemn duty to tell exactly what a
flapper is. There are two kinds OF
flappers, the bad flapper who picks
out some poor blue jay and makes a
goose out of him, and the good
fIapper."
One of the chief virtues of a good
flapper is her ability 10 GOO her way

Leaders OF the agricultural bloc
were outspoken, however, against this
tax and threatened TO counter with
program which would include re-
enactment of the excess profits and
higher income surtaxes and an in
crease in inheritance and some other
taxes.
This plan also was favored by some
Democratic leaders.
Proponents Of a sales tax pro-
fessed to be confident that because
OF the strong desire in both the
house and senate to put Though the
bonus bill at this session. a majority
OF the members would come to accept
this levy rather than see the bonus
program defeated
Pending more careful consideration
OF the whole problem and a possible
further reaction from the country
there seemed 10 be a disposition on
all sides TO move slowly. The Presi-
dents letter, addressed to Repre-
sentative Fordney was read at q Joint
meeting OF Republican, Euembers Of
the house and senate Committees
dealing with the bonus question who
agreed after some discussion 10 leave
the matter in the hands OF the ma
jority members of the house COM
mittee. 1t was announced that those
members would meet tomorrow. but
il was indicated that the tax question
would no be taken up Immediately.
Officers of the American Legion will
be called in first, it was stated, to
give their views as TO Mr.. Harding's
suggestion that instead of extending
the cash payments over two and one
half years, payments be deferred until
"the day when we may safely un-
dertake to pay at once in full"
Leaders Study Plan
Leaders generally, both Republican
and Democratic, said it was too early
to undertake any prediction as to
whether If the issue finally came
down TO that, the bonus bill. with
q sales tax provision, would be de-
feated. Some thought that many Of
those now opposed to a sales tax
would accept it rather than vote
against the bill. but asserted that il
probably would be several days at
least. before there would be a crys-
talization of sentiment on which it
would be safe to base a prediction.
In suggesting a general sales tax
as "the only commendable plan," of
raising funds. Mr.. Harding said he
believed the American people would
accept such a levy for this purpose,
adding that IL would distribute the
cost so that il would be borne by all
of the people and would not con-
tribute added difficulties to the
problems OF readjustment.
If congress would not adopt such
a tax, the President wrote that it
would be wise to let the legislation

War Department
To Abandon All
Filipino Defense
IRepubliean A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-Military
defense of the Philippines may be
completely abandoned by the United
States even before ratification of the
four power Pacific treaty.
The step is known to be under
consideration in the war department.
If it is carried out under pressure
for further reduction of the strength
of the army, the garrison which has
been maintained in the islands for
defensive purposes ever since the
first American troops landed under
Deweys guns in 1898, will be cut to
no more than a police force to sup
port the authority of the insular
government.
Should this policy be finally adopt
ed, it will be based on the contention
that the treaty guarantees the Sc
curity Of the islands from attack by
any signatory power and that they
should be left to the protection of
international good faith. AS an evil
dence Of its own complete good faith
such action by the United States, il
was said. would have striking en-
phasis. The possibility of aggression
against the islands by any nom sig
natory power is regarded as so re-
mote as not to deserve consideration.
In any event, IL was said today. the
provisions of the naval limitation
treaty setting UP a status quo agree
ment as to defenses of the Philip
pines or other islands covered by it's
terms, prevents establishment OF
Qualifications adequate to repel an
invader bent on occupation of Manila.
Already, in anticipation of ratifica-
ton. both the army and navy have
ordered shipments of mines and anti
aircraft guns scheduled TO be added
to the Manila defenses, stopped en-
route.
The war department also has re-
scinded orders for bombing squad
ron Of airplanes which would have
added materially TO the strength of
the Philippine garrison.
Discussion of the possibility Of
abandoning entirely the land de-
fenses of the islands and the virtually
closing up of Notifications there has
been brought to the front in planning
for distribution of regular forces un-
der the 10000 restriction in number
already made for the army.
Withdrawal of a substantial part
OF the island garrison of about 800
men would increase the number of
mobile troops available in the United
States and urgently needed in car
rying out the dual major missions
Of the army. patrol Of the Southern
border and the establishment OF the
centralized training and mobilization
system for the national guard and

of Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain. who
is charged with the murder of j.

halt by illness late today. Adjourn
ment was taken until next Monday
morning in the hope that witnesses
reported to be suffering from in
fluenza would be able to appear then.
This action was taken after several
persons called had failed to respond.
Half an hour before the regular
time for adjournment the prosecu-
ton said it had exhausted its list Of
persons summoned by today's session
and was unable to proceed until il
could send for others. Defense at
torneys suggested the adjournment
until Monday, saying that several Of
their witnesses were i'll and they
would prefer not to proceed without
having them in court.
they thought about it and most Of
them agreed that the adjournment
be taken.
Slow progress was made in the
trial today because of the difficulty
of locating witnesses. The defense
won a point at the opening of the
morning session when Judge Reeve
announced he would rule out testi-
mony relating to the action of Ar
thur c. Burch, co-defendant in the

Ell PASO. Tex, Feb. 16--That the
northern military zone of Mexico is
now quiet with no sign of revolu-
tionary activity was the substance of
statement by General Eugenio
Martinez, zone commander, who ar
rived in Juarez from Chihuahua late
today. The general Travelled in a
private car attached TO the regular
passenger train which was accom-
panied only by the usual train guard.
The Northern zone consists of the
states of Chihuahua. Durango and
the Laguna district OF Coahuila.
''The border posts will not be
strengthened" said General Mafti-
nez. "as the present force has DEM
onstrated its ability to cope with the
situation. The revolutionary furry
has passed. Leaders of the revolt
have been captured and two of the
principals, General Arturo Ruiz and
Captain J. L. Perez, have been ex-
ecuted.
These men went to Francisco
Villa, on his ranch at Canutillo.
Villa told them he would remain
loyal to the government. They were
arrested at Chihuahua and escaped,
only to be recaptured at station
40 kilometers south of Chihuahua.
They were executed by firing squad
at 6 o'clock Monday morning"
General Martinez admitted that
Rosalio Hernandez, former chief of
staff of Villa had revolted at Santa
Rosalia and taken the field with 25
men. This force. the general said,
had dwindled and Hernandez. ac-
companied only by a handful of men,
is now on the Coahuila border where
his capture is momentarily expected.

YOUTH POUNDS
DYNAMITE CAP:
DEATH RESULTS
David Berry, Age Is, Disem.
bOweled by Conclusion;
Dies in Hospital.

Virtually disemboweled by the ex-
plosion of a dynamite cap while at
play in the alley back of his home,
David Berry, age Is, 212 Eighth street
north, was removed in a dying condl-
ton to the Columbus hospital Thurs
day evening. Medical attention proved
unaaviling. The physicians could do no
more than try to stanch the flow OF
blood and the injured youth died at
1920 O'Clock.
No one witnessed the explosion and
it is not known what caused it, but 1t
is presumed that it followed when the
youth found a dynamite cap and pro-
ceeded to pound it.. The concussion,
however, was heard for several blocks
in the ~neighborhood. When Edward
Flaherty, 721 Second avenue north,
who was working in his garage at the
time of the accident, arrived at the
Berry home he found the youth on the
ground. slowly dying and unconscious.
Mr.. Flaherty placed the boy in his
automobile and rushed him to the hos
pital. :.
Physicians who examined the boys
injuries said the explosion had torn a
large hole in his stomach, had injured
one eye and destroyed parts OF both
hands. just how the main force of
the conclusion was directed at the
stomach can only be explained by the
fact, it is said, that the lad was kneel-
ing directly over the cap when it ex-
ploded. The boy suffered great agony
while being removed to the hospital.
The youth was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dan Berry. Mr.. Berry is the
j%anitor at the Doheny apartments, 2O6
Eighth street north.
