Standard of
DeCencyLs
Unchanged
BY MARTHA LEE

A correspondent writes. The
question has been brought up as to
what a decent girl Of today should
be. We would like to see an article
on this subject"
Intrinsically. a decent girl Of to-
day should be and is exactly what
she always has been. The outward
signs of change have absolutely no
effect whatever.
Just because our mothers and
grandmotherS did not make their
lip vermilion with lipstick and cut
their hair conveniently short and
disclose their knees to the eyes Of
the multitude is no sign these
youngsters have deteriorated NOR

Most Of the racket comes over the
changing mode OF doing things, 1t
seems. Take bobbed hair for in
stance. In our grandmother's day,
girls were not allowed in the bust

at home. sewing. knitting. playing

selves ready for the thrush Of male

But wouldn't it be riot to see a
stenographei or a clerk go sweeping

The standards Of decency do not
change. A modern girl bases her
decency on the same ideals by
which her grandmother measured
her own goodness and virtue. Smok-

skirts and a little too much paint do
not mean a thing.
Standards Are Same
A girl. to be decent, should be lust

qualities the modern girl has frank

The modern girl can have in
finitely more fun than was allowed
her mother or grandmother. She
has twice as much freedom and
privileges. But her idea of what a
decent girl is has not changed. If
she is intrinsically good, these out
ward changes will have no effect
upon her character.

Lee at right end, who will replace
Gordon. Lee proved a sensation at
Hampton and rs expected to offer
something thrilling tomorrow. A

Virginia s Primary

There was little in the results of the Democratic
urinary in Virginia on Tuesday to indicate that
Bishop James Cannon IT, and other anti-Smlth
Democrats have succeeded in perpeuatng the rift IN
the party that developed last year The primary was
watched for evidence of whether the Democrats OF
the south would continue their family fight and make
possible permanent Republican inroads.
The volume of the vote compared favorably with
totals of other years. although Cannon and his forces
had appealed to Virginia Democrats to stay away
from the polls, and the campaign was unusually
apathetic and devoid of issues calculated to arouse
popular feeling.
All three of the candidates for the goVernorsmp
nomination had supported Smith for President last
fall OF the three however DR.. John Garland Pollard,

Prince of Gamblers

IT'S quite probable that my SYM
L pathies in this particular matter
are deeply prejudiced because it has
been my fate to know more gam
blerS than brokers.
I'm rather sorry the bishop hasn't
known a few himself. One Of the
finest gentlemen I ever met any
where was Johnny Walters and up
to the time of his death last WIN
ter he was the biggest gambler on
the American turf.
He was incapable of vicious or
sordid instinct. The laying Of
odds on thoroughbred horses was
his business, and I'm pretty sure he
was intensely proud of his business.
His boy, member of the New
York Stock Exchange, is now a
trader in stocks and bonds, and :
am told he has many of his fathers
fine qualities.
If young Walters performs with
half the credit in the Street that his
sire did in the clubhouse betting
rings of the country's big tracks, he
will be a distinct addition to any
body'S society-or church.

THIS is more or less about Bishop
i Cannon, but don't call the gen.
darmes. I'm not crusading or sift-
ing around for moral issues.
The good bishop has been playing
the stock market and he resents the
implication that an activity OF this
nature is in any way related to the
sordid business of gambling.
1 do not know a great deal about
the stock market, nor have my ad-
ventures with the wheels and cubes
of fortune been extensive enough to
establish me as an authority.
Still 1 understand it is possible to
win a great deal of money in very
short time in the stock market and
by no other mental or physical
process than calling the turn right
It is also a matter Of record, I be-
lieve, that large fortunes have been
lost by similar processes where the
quality of the players perspicaclty
was slightly cockeyed. Technically
this may not be gambling, but it
comes awfully close to it.
At the track or the card table it
is possible to experience the same
sensations in proportion to the size
of the stakes. The main difference
seems to be that a brokers' office
opens at g and closes at 4, whereas
High-Dice Murphys, for example,
does not begin to function in big
way until after midnight.

NAPOLEON EXILED
Aug. 8


ON Aug. 8, 1915, Napoleon Bona
~ parte, a prisoner, sailed from
England for st. Helena, where he
lived in exile until his death in 1921.
After the decisive defeat at Water
loo, Napoleon returned to Paris,
where, after several futile attempts
to regain his prestige, he abdicated
on June %, 1915.
His mighty edifice of power crum-
bled, and fearing death at the hands
of the triumphant faction in France,
Napoleon went on board the Eng
lish cruiser Bellerophon and surren-
dered himself July Is.
To the prince regent in England
he wrote: "A prey to the factors
which divided my country and to
the ennnity of the powers Of Europe,
have terminated my public career,
and I come, like Themistocles, to
seat myself at the hearth OF the
British people.
Il place myself under the protec-
ZION of its laws, which claim from
your royal highness as the most
powerful, the most constant and the
most generous of my enemies.
The English government finally
decided to send Napoleon to st.
Helena to separate him from the
revolutionary party in Europe and to
preclude any possible chance Of him

Instructors are convinced that
improper training in breathing
