Chicago. May 22.-The modern flapper was defended by the Rev. Almer Pennewel, pastor of the Covenant church at Evanston yester- day in a sermon in which he approved short skirts, bobbed hair and knicker- bockers
 "Flapperism is not a disease but a diversion" he said. "Bobbed hair, short skirts and knickerbockers are not signs of sin but a declaration of independence. The girls are jolly lot and they will give us the finest generation of women the world has ever known.
 We are passing from the man age, rough age, and emerging into the age of culture the womans age. That is why the fapper exists today. The new age will be one not ruled by women but one in which their in- f1uence will be felt Girls in the past have been pretty little birds in cages or husky beasts of burden"
