HHH Modern Girl Not So Bad As She Is Painted, Declares New York Bishop New York.--Bishop Thomas F. Gaylor, head of the Protestant Epis- copal Church of America, today took up the cudgel for the flapper. In an interview he declared the modern girl is not so bad as she is painted, speaking both literally and figuratively. As for the modern woman -- -- -- Since Methuseleh's Time : According to Bishop Gaylor, women had reformers het up over the things they did to their faces and the way they wore their skirts even in the days when Methuseleh was a boy. "Woman is a new mystery every day," said the Bishop. "But she has not changed through the centuries. The woman of today is no different from the woman of our grandmother's day or of the woman who lived before Christianity. "Read Matthew Arnold's translation of the Fourth Idyll of Theocritus, who lived 400 years before Christ. You find there two women conversing while they dress for a concert. They talk dress and discuss ways to humor and wheedle their husbands exactly in the same way as women do today. wear short skirts because it is the They might be New York women of 1922. "Women the Same as Always" "No," continued the Bishop, "women are the same as they ever were. You can't change them and you can't lay down general rules for their con- duct." Speaking of the flapper, the church leader said: "It is silly to charge mere kids with deep, dark immoral emotions and motives. There is nothing wicked about a girl who bobs her hair. If she wants to do it, why shouldn't she? Perhaps it is more becoming to her than long hair. "You do marvel at the amount of paint you see on girl's faces. Why, I often wonder how some of them open their mouths without cracking their faces. "But I never worry about the foibles of the young. Girls rouge and fashion. People are like sheep about following fashions. Young people are particularly so. When I was in college it was a fad for a time for the boys to wear mustaches and we all wore them. Then some one cut his off and we all followed suit. "If it were fashion to go around with shoes unlaced, all the girls would be doing it. Youth As Good As Ever "Our young people of today are as good as young people ever where." Bishop Gaylor criticized the present day system of education, declaring that utilitarianism one of the "throubles" with America. "Men are less educated than they were 20 years ago," he said. "Why, I get letters from big business men whose spelling shocks me. "Utilitarianism--that's the trouble. There's too much specialization in education nowadays. Mere boys are educated only for the special pro- fessions they are to follow and don't get the education that gives a man culture and breadth of vision. "That's because we live in an age of systematization. We are system- izing everything. Efficiency, effi- ciency--as if human beings were machines. Human beings are not machines and you can't make them machines. "We are living on our nerves in America," Bishop Gaylor continued, "in no country of the world do people go in for amusement with such fer- ocity as we do here in America. We have been living on our nerves for years. "America is obsessed with the no- tion of "Get there." Look at the young people who pour every morning into the factories and office buildings of this great city. They are all im- bued with the 'make good' spirt. We hear too much of the 'make good' spirit--it encourages materialism." DAISIES BRING HIGH PRICE Before sunset of the first day, 500, 000 daisies were sold in the American Legion's "Daisy Day" drive through- out Massachusetts for funds to help unemployed ex-soldiers. Four daisies brought $125. "APPEAL TO REASON" Charging that the bonus is attacked "not by those who fought" but "by those who profited," the American Legion at Marion, O., home of Presi- dent Harding, has appealed to Con- gress to look at the facts "in the light of pure reason."
