War Flappers Sorry Parents Writer Thinks

, __.__

’ summons, Oct. a-(cro-r. I

joott Fitzgerald. whose novel ‘This Side of Paradise," made the United Btntel flaunt-conscious, thinks the flapper: o_f l918-1-8-“the ones who just misled the war but blame ev- erything that's’ wrong with them on the wsr"-have proved incompetent parents. - .

"I think my contemporaries," said Fitzgerald whose daughter is 12, "have found their own lack of religi- ous and moral convictions makes them incompetent to train their children. On the whole the nap- pers turned out better than the boys their own age . . . but it's an un- happy generation."

Asked how the 1033 “flapper” compares with those of his. day,

Fitzgerald said: "I don't know auy- A

thing about her. Right now Belda (Mrs. Fitzgeraldl) and I are more interested in the next crop of ‘prom “i: than in those oi today. or o! our day. They are the kids with ex-flappers for mothers and they are having pretty sorry treatment over most of this country. Their mothers will let them do anything just as long as it does not interfere with their own pleasures.

"Perhaps in the morning they'll give some attention to the children but that afternoon they'll hunch themselves over a bridge table and pack the kids off to the movies, where they'll get a two-hour dose of the ‘Sins of Susie.’

“No, I'm no model father but, at least, I'm an interested one. And I hope very much that ‘Scottie’ (his daughter) won't do the things I thought were pretty flashy 15 years \go."

tatoes to express their ideas.

The consensus of opinion among the shippers was that the matter of orderly marketing rested almost en- tirely w-lth the farmer, and it was considered. that. if the farmers were acquainted with the real facts re- garding the possibility of a better market for their entire crop of table stock potatoes. providing they could arrange to hold their stock until later in the season, or when requir- ed. they would not be compelled to take the very low price that is now 1n prospect. A further help to this end would be the withholding of pressure on the part of those to whom the farmer was obligated, and not to expect the whole bill to be paid from the potato crop _by No- vembsr.

The wholesale traders agreed with the shippers that orderly marketing would be in the best interests of the farmer and the whole Province, and felt sure that the merchants of the country would co-operate with the farmer in the matter of collections. It was suggested that the farmers be given information regarding the pre- vailing potato market, and that he s/zuld make his own decis- ion as to when to market his crop.

The bankers stated that no group of men were more anxious to see the farmer receive the best returns for his potato crop than the man- agers of the banks, and they assur- ed the meeting that the banks would not unduly press any account pro- viding that the farmer owing mon- ey to the bank would play a fair and square game, and as he mar- keted his crop would reduce his ll- ability.

Remarks supporting these ideas were made by Hon. J. A. MacDonald and Messrs. - McLure and Myers, M. P. ,

To get information to the farmer, and to acquaint him with market- ing conditions from time to time a. committee of iive representing the shippers was appointed by the meeting. The committee consists o! J. W. Boulter, chairman, G. E. Full, G. D. DeBlois. W. N. Wilson, I". B. Clark. This committee was also in- structed to inquire into the feasibil- ity of constructing potato storage warehouses at convenient points throughout the province with the idea of having storage accommod- ation provided to take care of sur- plus potatoes, which farmers could not atom against frost.

THE UHARLOTTETOWN

Appeal ToAmend Statement Is Tamed Down

(Canadian Prel)

TORDNPIO. Oct. 3.—Mr. Justice Patrick Kerwin declined in cham- bers at Osgoode Ball to grant Wil- liam G. Paton, Toronto leave to ap- peal for permission to amend the statement of claim in his action to obtain from Hon. George Bufpgg

for alleged violation in 1931 and 1932

of the Independence of Parliament

Commons Act. . Alleged Charge

Paton issued the writ in the act/ion

when the door bell rang," Mr. Css-l vent stated later, “One of the pair. pointed a revolver and forced Miss! Casavant and myself to sit down.’ We were tied firmly but gently to chairs, the bandits assuring us we would not be hurt.

CONDUCT SEARCH

"They then searched my pockets“ taking my pocketbook, but there, was very little money in it. They] also took my sold watch and searched furniture drawers, find- ing possibly $4 in all.

‘The men smashed the telephone and cut the wires." After the men departed Mr. Casavant succeeded in reaching a pocket knife and cutting his bindings which were.' made from curtains pulled from the windows. He then released his daughter and siunmoncd pol'ce.

The aged manufacturer showed no ill effects from the experience.

Mrs. Taimadge Dead

HOLLYWOWOD, Oct. 3. -— Mrs.

Margaret "Prg" Talmadge, mother of the tiirce Ililiiiaclge sisters of the screen-Norma, Constance and Na- talie-died at a hospital today of pneumonia which grew out of in- fluenza contracted 10 days ago. ' She was well-known in Hollywood as a. counsellor and comforter of many personages of the movie col- ony, Charlie Chaplin liked to test her reaction to his "gags,” Frames Marion sought her comment. on scenarios and Richard Barthelmess and many other movie stars turned to her at times for advice.

“Peg," as her daughters called her, and as Hollywood came to address her, guided the careers of her daughters through all their phases, from the day she first took Norma to register at the old Vitagraph studio in Brooklyn for a $25 a week job, until the girls were signing con- tracts which brought them thou- sands of dollars a week.

Mrs. Talmadge was born on Gov- ernor's Island, New York. She was the widow of Frederick Talmadge, who died in 1925,

Nobel Priz Candidates

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Congratula- tions are pouring in upon Mrs. Don- ald Carr, or Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaif, as she is known to ad- mirers of her poetry, for the signal honor accorded hcr in her nomina- tion for the Nobel Prize for litera- ture by the Swedish critic, Victor Setterherg. _

Mr. Setterberg first met Mrs. Carr upon a. visit to the United States several years ago with a group of foreign golfers, when she was doing book reviews for a 8011 magazine. He ame so interested in her wcnk, particularly "Mortal- ity" and (lie verses included in the volume published under that title. that he asked permission to trans- late it into Swedish upon his refill?" u, Europe, where it has had a W100 circulation.

The poem "Mortality" is newer! the best-known of her work. Th9 inspiration came to her suddenly and it was composed in six minuiv-‘i- It came in for wide notice not long ago, when it was found after i115 execution among the belongings 01 a convict, to whom the credit 01 authorship was given until the cr- rot was discovered

on Oct. 25, 1932. and in it alleged that in 1931 and 1932, the defendant in the suit was a member of the firm of Jones Brothers of Apohaqui, N. B. and, while a member of the

li-‘fouse of Commons benefited by

certain business dealings between Jones Brothers and the Government of Canada. Jones Brothers, the plaintiff said, supplied certain goods to the Government. Paton conund- ed that because of Jones’ relation with Jones’ brothers he was disquali- fied from sitting and voting as a member of the House of Commons. Notwithstanding this disqualifica- tion, Paton alleged, Jones did sit and

wow in the House for a period of

100 days after his disqualification. The plaintiff in the action asserted that by reason of his resort to the courts he became entitled to claim from Jones a penalty of $200 a day for 100 days under tlio pr-uvision (i the Scnati -.i'~-;i H01!“ v C- ' Act.

Desired Airtsndrizcnt

H. J. MacDonald, Counsel for Pa- ton, told Mr. Justice Kerwin that Paton desired to amend his state- ment of claim to demand penalties dating back to Sept. 8, 1930, the date on which Jones was sworn in as a member of the House-of Com- mons. Mr. MacDonald said that a motion for leave to amend the state- ment of claim had been made to themaster of the Supreme Court and had been dismissed. A motion for leave to appeal against the de- cision of the master had been made to Mr. Justice Kingstone and re- jected. This motion for leave to appeal was renewed before Mr. Jus- tice Kingstone.

After Ian M. MacDonald, K. C., had opposed the motion, on behalf of Hon. George B. Jones, Mr. Jus- tice Kerwin announced he was not going to interfere to permit amend- ment of the statement in such a penal action.

The descent was made in oo- operation with the Central London Anti-Grid‘?- Dlviislon Searchlight Section. »

‘Pranum in an interview said: “The parachute descent was a per- fect success. I went up in an aero- plane about nine o'clock, and at an altitude of 2,500 feet, I jumped. After I had descended about ‘I00 feet, I pulled the cord, the para- chute opened and I floated down quite gently. The searchlight which Picked me up about 1,800 feet from the ground was very dazzling. and I had to swing the parachute round so that my back was t0 the search- light."
