THE Y. NJ c. A. plays a large part
in the building of a boys character
by promoting clean sports, clean
thinking and better fellowship be-
tween older and younger boys.
When the parents of a boy want
him to start building the right kind
of character. they naturally look
around for the organization that fur
nishes the best environment and the
best leadership
In a city the size of Topeka the
parents naturally look toward the Y
NJ. C A. not because there are no
other organizations or clubs. but be-
cause the Y. NJ. c. A. upholds the
highest ideals to the boys"

FLAPPER DOOMED
BY fashion SHOW
Short Hair and Short Skirts Not
Favored at Lausanne

| Lausanne, Dec. 15.~-Short hair and
short skirts won little favor In the
fashion conference which Paul Poiret,
the Paris artist, conducted at the
Grand theater for the fashionable
crowds gathered in Lausanne for the
Near East conference.
Ten Partisan mannikins displayed
more than 100 costumes before the
exclusive audience. which registered
its approval by loud applause, or was
deadly silent when nannikin moved
across the stage in costume which
did not meet the fancy Of the audi
ence.
1t soon became apparent that the
girls counted more than the costumes.
1t was difficult for short-haired girl
to call forth much applause from the
young diplomats who constituted a
greater part of the male section of
the audience. '
There were mannilins with bobbed
hair which was curled and bobbed
hair which was plastered down
straight. There were both blondes
and brunettVs with short hair, but
they attracted little attention.
All eyes were on he girls with long
hair, regardless of whether 1t was
red, golden or black. They got all
the applause. And the more modest
and demure the mannikin was, the
greater her, popularity with the spec
tators.
The snappy Aapper was clearly in
the discard, in the opihion of the
international crowd gathered at Lau-
same, and the wiilowiy girl in ex-
tIcmeIy long skirts and with plainly
dressed hair was in favor The prime
favorite among the mannikins was a
gray-eyed little Quakeress, with brown
hair parted in the middle and simply
dressed. Her suits and gowns we're
all gray or blue, and whenever she
appeared on the stage the applause
was deafening, while the more flashy
mannikins. walking with great af"
fectation and dressed in conspicuous
red and yellow gowns were greeted
with little enthusiasm.
