Campfire Organization
Starts Campaign to
Change Term.

The "flappcr' is going-or rather
the name is going.
"Moderns' will be the new appeia-
ton for the American girl.
And over 100000 young American
girls have joined in the crusade against
the words "flapper" and "flapper-
ism" as applied to the girl of today.
The Camp Fire Girls of America arc
undertaking the task, led by their na-
tional president. sIrs.. Oliver Harri-
man, declared Mrs. f. f. Lane, head
Of the local Camp Fire Girls.
"'Flapper' and 'flapperism' the
words commonly used in describing the
American girl are unjust because these
terms usually refer to that type of
girl whose sole desire is pleasure" de-
clared Mrs. Hartman. 1.-THE typical
flappcr Is the young girl whose &C.
tivities consist in having a good time
with no thought of anything worth
while, and a sort OF an empty headed
character
"Moderns,' the nom de plume the
Camp Fire Girls have selected, will
mean the real American girl of high
standards who is ambitious and thinks
Of the future and the worthwhile
things of life along with her dancing
and good times said the national
president.
The Camp Fire Girls have asked
Colleen Moore, film star. to support
their cause and help lead their cam
paisn.
Call the girl of today modern
where you onced called her 'flapper, ~
Miss Moore asks.

CASH TROUBLES, TOO.

A contrast TO this sudden appeal for
protection" from matrimony was the
case of mother of a Gyear-old boy,
who claimed that her husband had
spanked her son for crying when the
child was only month old. She cited
this incident as good sample of the
mans "kaiseristic' attitude toward
her during their married life.
Profane and abusive language used
by wives and their mothers toward
husbands was given in most cases rs

The moment his car leap

Nora Lee was beside herself
with the wild folly of her
silence. Why had she not i'm
periously held him? Why
had she not shouted, "No !
It's not too late!"
Through three despairing
months she clamored and
prayed for just one glance, one bless
cd word. Now they had met and
spoken. 1t had come abjectly to moth
ing. He was gone, irretrievably gone,
now.
She opened. the door and peered into
the whirling, dismal rains. Suddenly
she recalled the young girl, soft and
pretty as a rose, who had flirted with
him and to whom he gave the corn
flower from his buttonholc. Perhaps
that was the reason it was too late?
He was thinking of himself, not her:
He was coolly stating that his affcc-
tions were no longer at her disposal,
and there was no cause to bother
about letter now? Ah-if this

HOUR OF TORMENT.

She drove her nails into the soft
palms and held her face upward, let
ting the rain pelt against it. She was
too violently ardent by nature to take
despair gently. Cuisines OF hot. wither-
ing anguish opened in her heart and
mind, bathing her in torment.
What made it more terrible was

was before her; her hands ached to
clasp it, hold it dearly while she
kissed it, while she poured happy
laughter into his afflicted eyes-makc

She would never conquer this love
and want Of him. There would be an
Unsuitable longing gnawing always at
her thought.
At times in the days that followed
she was almost unbalanced. She
thought Of tracking him; demanding
that he listen while she cleared away
the foolish misunderstanding. Other
times she wrote warm. pleading let

att seems strange, nevertheless
true, that the housewife today
thinks very little if anything of
spending four or five hundred dol
lars for her bedroom suite. That
is all well and good. But, why
make such an outlay for quality
furniture and then detract from the
,attractivenes of it by placing it in
q bedroom finished with plain pine
flooring and woodwork? 1t really
seems ecor omically impractical, and
&c was with this thought in mind
that oak was selected for flooring,
and interior trim, in each and
every house to be built in Shell

owner in charge Of operations on

LEWIS COMPANY

PLAN
Two to Three Years Allowed
for Payments on Build

The Lewis Home Service. No. l
Thomas Circle northwest, has an
nounced most radical change IN
their financing plan. Guy s. Zepp,
manager, has been selling Lewis
homes in Washington for six years:
has been identified with home build
ing for g. quarter of a century.
During all these years, his one
obsession has been to make 1t pos
sibIe for the man of moderate
means to build his own home, but
his dream has never been fully
realized until within the pas ten
days. Mr.. T. p. Dixon, general
manager of the Lewis Manufacture
ing Company, spent come days
with Mr.. Zepp in the past week
and announced that they have com
pleted financial arrangements
whereby it is possible for a home
builder to build a Lewis home and
pay for as per cent of this material
in monthly payments extending
over period of from two TO three
The public in general has but q
limited idea Of the scope OF the
Lewis. Manufacturing Company. 1t
is a conservative organization and
HAS DSCll On66SVA ~ kAbC
ture OF house materials for nearly
a half century. But few people
know that the controlling stock in
the Lewis Manufacturing Company
is owned by Ross & Wentworth,
one of the largest numbering con-
Germs in the world. Mr.. Ross is
president; Mr.. Wentworth vice
president. From Michigan to the
Pacific Coast these men need no
introduction.
T. p. Dixon, who has been gen.
eral manager of this concern for
the past ten years has proven to
be a man of most marked ability.
His associate and general sales
manager, George w. Massnick, is
equal in caliber, and to these two
men is due great deal of the
phenomenal success that has been
achieved by the Lewis Manufac-
turing Company in developing ideal
homes. Clarence L. Sheldon, jr.,
service manager, has spent consid-
cradle time with Mr.. Zepp In Wash
ington. and has become known to
quite a few local clients.
Mr.. Zepp has had the pleasure
of making several visits to the

PAPPAS WILL RULING
Right to Be Sole Administrator Of
Citizen of That Country
Is Point at Issue.

The Greek legation is said to have
decided to make a test case of it's
right to have the acting consul OF
the Greek republic made sole admin
istrator of deceased citizen of
Greece. Justice Hoehling recently re-
fused to acknowledge the claim OF
Christian Diamantopoulos, first secre-
tary of the legation and acting con-
sui to be the sole administrator of
the estate of Thomas Pappas, proprie-
tor of Greek restaurant who was
killed last month, holding that the
appointment of administrators is In
the discretion of the court. The JUS
tice offered to name the secretary
joint administra with Peter Glekas
a naturalized citizen, whose appoint
ment had been requested by William
Pappas, brother of the deceased.
Diamantopoulos today declined to
accept a joint appointment and noted
an appeal to the Court of Appeals
when Justice Hoehling granted let
ters to Glekas alone, under a bond
of $40, 900. The Appellate Court will be
asked to review the decision of JUS
tice Hoheling.
Attorney Colladay, Clifford and
Pettus appeared for the Greek sec
retary of legation, while William
Pappas, the brother, was represent
ed by Attorneys Toomy &Toomey.

OF i. S. SHIP SALE
O'Connor Declares Other
Craft Will Be Sold to
Private Owners.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Sales of the
United States Shipping Boards mer-
chant fleet 10 private owners who are
American citizens and competent tC
meet the competition of foreign ship
ping will go forward "as rapidly as
possible" T. V. O'Connor, chairman
of the board, said in an address
last night, at Arcadia Hall. where
Merchant Marine night was OBJ
served.
Il shall always use my enc vote to
advance the sale Of Government ships
as rapidly as is consistent with a
permanent merchant marine" he said.
The Americanism of the buyer, his
financial ability and his Seagoing eN-
perience are to me the most impor-
tant elements in the consideration OF
a sale"
Mr.. O'Connor was one of the four
ma jority members of the Shipping
Board to vote in favor of the sale of
the five president" class liners now
operated by the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company on the California
Orient Line to the Dollar Steamship
Company. This sale is held up by
injunction proceedings by the Pacihc
Mail, which bid against the Dollar
interests for the liners.
Sees Guarantee Vital.
IF the American merchant marine
is to be kept on the ocean tor all time
under private ownership, the only
guarantee of such permanency is the
ability of the owners to make
money" Mr. O'Connor said. Il like
to see the American flag carried
across the oceans by private oper-
ators. but ! don't want to start an
operator on Il trip that he cannot
finish. do not want American
shipping men to become Little Red
Ridinghoods' and be swallowed up by
the wolves.
IF not enough American ship
owners are willing to go TO sea under
the American flag" he said, we VIII
all go to sea together. Where private
profit is not possible, all of US VIII
cheerfully divide the cost. The
American flag is going to stay on the
seas"
