SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland.
The FIapper's Prayer

The Flapper's Prayer
Hear now, my daughter, the Peti-
tion of the Flapper. which she
chanteth in her heart.
Oh, Lord. I beseech Thee, teach
me wisdom and bestow upon me all
the charms which most delight
MEN. Yea, make me a Mans
Woman!
Grant me, / pray thee, the per-
sonality Of the Queen Of Rumania
and the "It'' Of Clara Bow.
The chiTd-like nalvete Of Mary
Pickford-and the blonde beauty
Of Marion Davies.
The wistfulness of Lillian Gish---
and the hypnotic eyes of Greta
Garbo.
The dash and vivacity OF Bebe
Daniels-and the cuteness Of Mas
Murray.
The fire OF Norma Talmadge--
and the piquancy Of Colleen Moore.
The poise Of Ethel Barrymore
and the figure of Ann Pennington.
The sure-fire aim Of Peggy
Joyce, who always gets her man"
and the clothes.sense OF Jean
Nash.
The pep and jollity Of Texas
Guinan--and the classic features
Of Mary Astor.
The smile of q seraph--and the
voice Of dove.
The silence Of the sphinx-and
the blindness Of a bat.
The wisdom of Solomon--and the
ways of a kitten.
The self-control of a tin soldier
and the pliability Of a sofa
cushion.
The capriciousness of a second
hand motor car-and the sensitive
ness of pet clam.
The sweetness of a strawberry
sundae-and the ambition OF po-
tato.
The meekness Of a door.mat--
and the opinions Of an echo.
The faith of a poodle-and the
endurance of Atlas.
Yea. all these things I ask, that
may be a MANS WOMAN!
Amen!
Now, wherefore. oh, my daugh.
ter. doth the Flapper of Babylon
pray, in her heart. for all the
charms of a whole harem, and 100
siren-power?
Even. that she may charm a
blobby youth in plus foura, with a
sun-burned nose, and spindling
legs, and q vaudeville line. and
much egotism.
For, verify, verify, man is wise
In his CONCEIT: but woman hath
no vanity IN her. And such Is her
humility that she cannot believe
herself good enough for ANY man.
40 God made her. SELAH!

warship in the torpedo boat de.
stroyer Valmy, which makes a
speed of 1885 knots an hour.
A motion picture camera has
been developed which is capable
OF photographing scenes five

ROMANCE
,BV Herbert KaMfman-

DAM seeks to bind me to this bed
And shut all warm and gold and gay
And crimson memories away.
But sound -proofed walls and guarded door,
Which whispering nurses sit before
Can never hold Romance at bay.
Imagination brings her loom
And, ever at my beck and call,
Breaks magic windows in the room
And picture tapestries the wall.
The storied seas around me play,
Slim Argive galleys stink the dawn;
Grim slave-whips hiss above the spray;
trumpet sounds the raid is on.
Knights errant to the Lists advance,
Zone did not know that she was vilel
Her guerdon bangles on his lance.
He falls. But God has marked the smile
OF understanding flashed between
The victor and his secret quean.
And may ride, in Aquitaine
With Eleanor and all her train,
While troubadours strum lutes again
And sing unblushing songs of cid.
And tho Milady found them fit,
Meseems her jester, capped and belled,
Was cleaner in his motley writ
Or watch with Helen at the gate
Where Is the mold from which she cast?l.
We gaze while valor, lust and hate.
Make warp and woof for Trojan fate;
hust takes first trick and hate the last.
Then Louis huns roundelay
And doffs the majesty of State,
For we're to Trianon away,
At miller and d-the-maid to play
(The deluge gathers, soon the flood
And freedoms birth in Capet blood.
Yet what's throne, to lose or win,
While there is SO much pretty sin?)
Her eyes were mad, her mouth was wine,
And may dream that she was mine

LOSES $1,000 IN
BASEBALL POOL
Young Mans Story Results
in Arrest of Two.

A young mans story to the
prosecutors office that his $1,000
losses in baseball pools caused him
to mortgage his home, provoked the
arrest today of John PaSswater, 50,
and Carl Schaefer, 81, in raid on
PasSWater's soft-drink parlor, 228
Indiana avenue.
Although no baseball tickets or
gambling machines were found in
the place, both we're charged with
operating a gambling house and
keeping gaming devices. Passwater
obtained his release under $500
bond, while Schaefer, clerk in the
place, remained in Jail.
John G.. Willis, criminal court in
veStigator. swore out the affidavit
and made the raid, accompanied by
Sergeant GROCER Hinton and Dep
uty Sheriff Roland Snider.
First information of the young
mans alleged heavy losses came to
the prosecutors office from the VIC

When the girl related her brothers
losses amounted approximately to
$1,000, the brother was questioned,
admitted the loss and the fact that
he had mOrtgaged their home, Willis

Doubt of Guilt Created by
Witnesses in Mind of

TWO DIED OF INJURIES
Suffering From Disease at
Time of Accident,
Court Told.

Richard Lowther, 17-year- old
high school youth, $40 Central ave-
nue., was acquitted of involuntary
manslaughter, today in criminal
court, because states witnesses Gre
ated doubt of the defendants guilt
in the mind of Fred Bates johnson

Lowther WAS on trial for the
deaths of Mr.. and Mrs. Julius I'm
derWood, jamestown, Ind, as the re-
suit of an automobile accident Jan.

stantly, and Mrs. Underwood died
three months later, without recov-
ering her mental faculties, it was
alleged after their car was demol-
ished by Lowther's machine, travel
ing more than fifty miles an hour,
at Fifty second street and Central
avenue
Suffering of Disease
"The testimony of an expert wit
ness for the prosecution brought out
that the boy was suffering from a
disease, as contended by the defense,
and was subject to fever, thus he
had no judgment Of distance, speed,
right or wrong" said johnson.
The witness to whom he referred
was DR.. Fletcher Hodges, who, in
answering a hypothetical question
put by Prosecutor Judson L. Stark,
in which was contained the defense S
assertions that LoWther was suffer-
ing from smallpox and had a fever
of more than 100 degrees, said:
He must have been a very sick
boy"
In his opinion, the physician said
on the stand, LoWther's calm after
the crash was a daze, and delayed
nervous shock.
Stark Not to Appeal
THAT being the evidence, it is
impossible for me to find the youth
guilty" said Johnson. He declared
that the speed of the machine was
the prOximate cause of the deaths,
but added Mat there was no proof
of Lowther's alleged criminal in
tent.
Stark, who was not in the court
room when the verdict was re-
turned, said he would not appeal
the case He entered the room as
Johnson was leaving the bench, and
was met at the door by the defend
ant and his father, Richard Low
Their Sr., attorney.
The youth shook hands with the
prosecutor and the father laid an
