In Defense of the Flapper Girls, The Star is with you. Your foes have gone far enough. They've nagged at you and blustered threats until it's time for a roll-call to determine who's your friend and who isn’t. The staid old directors of the National Cash Register Co. are the latest to make “asses of themselves. They issue an edict against bobbed hair, short skirts and filmy ' waists on their employes. They're worried about the effect on their young men of “these feminine contraptions. What kind of callow kids do they hire? We like the looks of bobbed hair on many of you, and can understand the comfort and convenience for all of you that wear it. The men folks and old hens that go fretting about because you insist on having it that way might try educating some of the men away from ugly haircut styles for a while, if they have so little to occupy their attention. And your skirts! Most of them are sensible. Occasionally there is one of you who ¢ hers off so short that it hits her at the knees and an ugly curve detracts her looks—but that is for HER to worry about, not the rest of us. For that iter, there are a lot of men who wear hideous check suits, and baggy trousers bad color combinations, You smoke, they shriek with horror, Some of you undoubtedly do, girls. If young we don’t like that, but neither do we like it in the boys, And we're willing concede you as much right to decide for yourselves as the men have. _ They worry about your morals and your manners; your dancing, your “petting - parties,” your auto rides. Well, sometimes there is occasion for grave concern on scores. But so is there occasion for concern about the men’s part in those and auto rides, and about their brazen disregard of the liquor laws. the whole, girls, The Star thinks you are fine. You are more athletic than your were. You are more intelligent and better informed, on the average, than mothers were. You are franker, more honest, better pals. And your morals, your code is different, are probably just as high. You have a freer spirit, a rifle wider vision. Your mistakes and your follies arise from a too rapid extension of your new free- not from deterioration of character. Go right ahead, girls, kicking old fogy ideas into the discard. Your critics will to yelp, but you'll win, girls, you'll win. For you have youth, intelligence, a ve viewpoint and love of individual freedom on your side. And that is an tible combination.

It behooves every home, school, pulpit and the press to concern it- self with all such evils that tend to diminish the natural strength and nobility of our boys and girls. ‘These faculties sho not stop, however, with mere mental concern, but should put every force in action to still the present moral clamor and to set the tone for our future citi wena to the highest and sweetest key of power and idealiem. ‘The frames of youth are awake in every part.
