Great Britain perg Chicago, July 24. Flapperlsm how, when and why promises to be investigated, studied, condemned and approved in erstwhile staid Evsnslon, where the campus of Northwestern r- University offers much in the way of examples of the dreaded and beloved type. Kev. Aimer Pennewell, pastor of the Covenant Methodist church, is for the flapper. "Flapperisra is not a disoasc; it's a diversion, says he. "Bobbed hair, knickerbockers, short skirts are not signs of sin, but a declaration of independence. The girls are arriv ling. They will give us the finest generation of women the world has ever known." Comes now a group of young men from Evanston styling themselves the Young Men's Club of Evanston. The pastor is wrong, all wrong, they aver, and asked in vin an in junction against threatening flap per rule and besought court, protec. tion from the dashing short-skirted girls. "Girls of the past have been pretty little birds in a cage of husky beasts of burden," was the way Kev. Pennewell defended the young ladies of the day. "They were taught only to be cMnglng vines or house servants to take care of the men." We petition the court to defend us against these little birds." de elared the affrighted youths in the court of Justice of the Peace Max Witkower.

Ine J ost master-Men era 1 proposes that ell broadcanting shall be done by the Tost Office department ami that those who wish to broadcast eoncerts and apecrhes must arrange for their programmes with the post- Hi officials. This new wireless possibility is looked upon with enthusiasm by members of tho House of Commons and with a forthcoming general election in view It has been serious. ly suggested by some members that a broadcasting station should be In stalled in the chambers of Parlla went In order that all of the pro ceedings might be open to any who eared to listen.

Wilkerson Succeeds Judge Landis LIKELY TO END' IN CIVIL WAR Warsaw, July 24. (By Assoc! ated Press.) The lack of unity between President PUsudskl and the diet, felt since the beginning of the present cabinet crisis, seemed today in the view of some close observers of the situation to be threatening to resolve Itself Into something like civil war. : From the moment when on July 2, President Pilsudskle caused the resignation of the Ponikowski cabinet, the question as to with whom lay the supreme authority, as the president or the parliament has been to the fore. President Pllsudski and the radical party supporting him have appeared to take the position that the presi dent should be the chief authority in Poland, while the nationalists In the diet were committed to up hold the supremacy of the parlia ment. The contest found expression in the failure of the last two cabi nets to function. The first head ed by M. Sllvlnskl, appointed by the president, was refused tue sup port of the diet and Immediately afterward President PUsudskl re fused to approve a cabinet headed by Adelbert Korfanty, supported by the parliamentary majority party. These two developments reach ed such strong feelings between the chief of state and the diet thai bitter contests are forecast. Repeated attacks by socialists Sunday against a big demonstra tion organized by the nationalists resulted In the Injury of a number of persons. HINGES TO SING AT CONCERT ? .. ' I - - V sr 'I vV.
