 FLAPPER MOTHER
Hartford Woman Finds Modern
 Girl Cares for Children

Hartford. Aug. 13 [Pt-The fiap- per mother, victim of scathing de- nunciation for 10 years, is given place in modern life higher than that of the mother of yesterday by Miss Ruth C. Bartlett, supervisor of child hygiene for the Visiting Nurse Association of Hartford.
 Miss Bartlett said today she is convinced the tlapper makes the best mother, because she knows rearing children is specialized process and takes her babe to clinic for examination and for the benefits that came with specialized advice.
 On the other hand Miss Bartlett points out, the mother of yesterday brewed her sasSafras tea for all ills. tied little bags of asafetida around the children's necks to ward off dis east and put much stock in home remedies. She bundled her infant in swaddling clothes, and was care ful not to allow any night air to enter the room of the sleeping child.
 The fiapper mother is justifying her existence in a manner far sur passing her grandmother by being the most intelligently devoted of mothcrs,' Miss Bartlett concludes. Of 1861 visits made to clinics of the association last month. Miss Bartlett reports almost half were for child care.
