2OO0 "FLAPPERS" AT
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA

Berkeley, approximately 2,O0(
"flappers" are on the University Of
California student rolls, Miss Mary
Ida Bentley, former secretary of the
San Francisco Young Women's Chris
tian Association, declared in an ad-
dress here.
'Flappers," Miss Bentley said
usually are girls who believe person
ality is physical, who consider all ad-
vice as abstract, who love continual
change, who converse in generalities
and who are in many higher institu-
tions of learning.
ITO present a picture of the normal
girl as she exists today is a daring
venture" Miss Bentley added "She
has no average, she has no group tie.
She is stranger to herself-some-
times especially to members of her
own family-and cannot be compared
with her kind of pervious age.
1--WE are tempted to think of her as
living in a spirit of masquerade so
rapidly and completely can she as
sumo different and difficult roles of
accomplishment.
She tantalizes us by the simple
ness of her artfulness and yet unreal
ness. We find her light-hearted,
which is the privilege of youth She
believes with Stevenson that to have
missed the joy is to have missed it
all" We find her harboring secrets
and imbedded emotions which are her
hidden treasure in the mysterious
discovery of herself as a private in
dividual. If we do not understand
these symptoms we call it tempera-
ment and try to dispose of the girl is
difficult or as needing discipline"

BUY 40 DAIRY COWS

At the meeting of farmers held at
the offices of the Washburn &c Wilson
Seed company, the sentiment express
ed was all in favor of buying more

of agriculture at the University of
Idaho, gave an interesting talk en-
dairy cattle and how to get the best
results in the Palouse country ard
explained the most practical methods
of financing the purchase of cattle.
j. E. Wilson, proprietor of the Mos
COW Creamery, talked on the market
conditions, explaining the causes for
the fluctuations in the market.
After some discussion as to the
kind of cattle most desirable for this
district, Mr.. Wilson and Earl Barton
each offered to give $40 toward Ge-
fraying the expenses of a practical
man to visit the Oregon and Wash
ington dairy districts, for the purpose
of selecting dairy COWS to supply the
local demand.
DlduhS SlVllS lOilHdClOl WHICH

mittee to be appointed to secure dairy
cattle, are at the Washburn e Will

WHAT DOES. AMERICA NEED!

Editor Pioneer:
Out o. the many needs that come to my mind for
the nations betterment, let suggest That is
the need of less regard for financial progress
and greater thought for the encouragement of the
arts music, literature, the drama, painting and
sculpture.
The United States is notorious for its lack of
leaders in any of the arts Europe leads in litera-
ture, in music and the drama and, in fact, in all the
arts so far as individual success is concerned OF
course, we can name Americans who have made
success in each of these arts, but can also name
Europeans who surpass them. 49,. -. t,.1:
The for this is clear. It be explained in
one word-money. The poet and author write on
contract; the painter paints by request; the sculp-
tor carves for money; the dramatst and composer
create ridiculous comedies to swell box office re-
ceipts
To correct this unfortunate condition in this
country, the government can help. There should
be federal subsidy of the drama, of literature and
the other arts. By this I mean the government
should create scholarships and other financial
means for helping promising young men and women
so they go creating art without fear OF the
landlord or the grocer.
greater human feeling for the finer things OF
life is what is needed in America, rather than con-
slant lust for money and power ::
