THK FLAPPERS' RKVOLT
A short time ago a learned professor predicted that the world would
come to an end within thirty days. Papers look hold of the idea, and, with
some amusement, broadcasted it over the earth with, it seems, the purpose
cf giving cheer where sorrow was intended. But now it looks as if the
learned professor was right after all. In the quiet seclusion of his study,
■amp turned low, he gave himself up to the mysteries, and, lo! the future
was revealed. But the revelation was misinterpreted by the press. It wa3
not the physical world, but the world of fashion that was to be convulsed!
A dispatch front Montreal in a few brief words puts tne matter clenr.
•'Twenty young flappers of Montreal have organized to fight the long skirt."
To those outside the pale of the world of fashion this may not seem
such a portentlous matter; and, truly it is not. But to those within the silk
eu mesh, it is of great concern. To those two hundred millions of women
who have enjoyed the airy grace and freedom of the short skirt and trans
parent hose, the decree of the sly half dozen, six fat and humorous men iu
distant Europe, is like the thunder of Vesuvius with its blasting breath and
fiery dust of death. There is shivering and consternation in the fact of such
doom. It is dreadful, but there is no evadiug it. Across the waters of the
Atlantic ocean the command comes ciear to the women of Canada and the
I nited States: "Three inches from the ground shall thou wear thy morn
ing dress."
Besides discomfort of the long, dust collecting skirt, there is anoth
er thought; not so serious to the women, it is true; but to men—these six
fat men—it is the very core and cause of the fatal decree.
If the decree is obeyed 2l>;>,000,000 women will buy at least two dress
es each. A modest average for each dress is $20; for two dresses $40. Mul
tiply 200.000.000 by $40 and $S,000,000,000 is the result.
Who now shall say that the flapper has uo sense!—Dawson News.
SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER
Just why news print, plain, white paper, should advance one dollar and
teu cents per hundred pounds during the past ten days is a question thut
newspaper meu throughout the country would like to have answered. 1£
tLere Is a reason (or such rise in price, they would like to know what that
reason is. In the grain belts of the country farmers are seeing 3*-cent
urn, 25-cent oats and 70-cent wheat, likewise $6 hogs—prices that were
conmanded by farm products in the days when news print was selling at
two cents per pound.
In the fruit-growing districts of Michigan, Missouri and. in fact, of hal!
the states in the Union, choice apples, peaches and pears are rotting in the
orchards for the reason that the growers can get only forty cents per bas
ket for them, and baskets cost 25 cents, leaving 15 cents to pay for labor
and transportation. In the cities those baskets retail to the consumer is
trom 5U to $4 per basket—but the consumer Is not consuming now for
the reason that, at the prices paid the grower, the latter cannot afford tc
market his fruit.
Nearly four years have been added to the scroll of Time siuce the ar
mistice was signed and yet many articles, news print among them, are still
holding at war-time prices while farm products—on the farm—are so val
uless as to be liabilities rather titan assets.
