Shortridge Is
Winner, With
Score 0f99.25%
An almost perfect score, 99.25 per rent,
gave Shortridge High School the ban
ner of the winning team in the third
annual music memory contest, and the
sls cash prize offered l>y th. Matinee
Musicale to the school ranking highest
in the event Friday evening at Caleb
Mills Hall.
Manual Training High School took
second place and won the Matinee Mu
slcale's prize of $lO with a score of 05.95
per cent, while Arsenal Technical High
School, with 89.2 per cent, was gb-en
third place.
The contest was the termination of
weeks of preparation in the three schools,
where elimination contests had been held
previously to the selection of a team of
ten to represent the school in the final
contest. Os these thirty pupils thus se
lected from the three schools, fourteen
made perfect scores. They were Theo
dora Sherry. Hazel I.amkin. Bertha
Brown. Dorotha Berger and Virginia
Whitlock, from Shortridge: Harriet
Clary. Bessie Rundberg, Mary Doik. Mr
rlan Auerbach and Marie Arens from
Manual and Florence Lesher, Marguerite
Goens and Frieda Frohnc front Arsenal
Technical.
Asa result of so many having made
perfect scores, it was necessary for the
contestants to draw lots to decide which
one of those whose grade was 100 per
cent In each school should be awarded
the season tickets which were offered by
Mrs. Ona B. Talbot for the Cincinnati
Symphony concerts. Mrs. Talbot's offer
was a ticker for the pupil making thp
highest score from each of the three
schools. The winners were Bertha Brown
from Shortridge. Bessie Rundberg from
Manual and Marguerite C<>ens from Tech
nical.
Technical was the first school to win
the banner in the music memory contest,
followed by Manual's victory last year, so
that the schools are now on an equal
standing in the effort to win the banner
for three consecutive times aud thus be
entitled to Its permanent possession.

Finfrook end Hr. Harry G. Hill, were
deciding upon the winners, a program of
music was given by Mrs. Mary Busch,
Mrs. James Lowry, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn
O. Frlermood and Willoughby Boughton.

eight clubs, with a total membership of
about five thousand. This growth in.less

Chapter XLl—Flapper Audacity!
BY A BRIDE.
Chaos prevailed in the auditorium of
the Little Flayhouse as always at re
hearsal.
The original barn, once a vast and
elegant shelter for a rich man's car
riages, had been improved by the addi
tion of a stage. This wing was Mr.
Tearle's first contribution to the dra
matic art of ills city.
At the entrance of the auditorium,
Jeanne detained me.
"Entrancing as always,” she ex
claimed. "Better than the play.”
The chairs of the auditorium were
piled high against the walls. All the
activities incident to staging a drama
were in progress.
Two sewing machines had been put In
the best light ami two Norse maids,
belonging to the Viking cast, set them
to whirring madly during-every pause
in the rehearsal. The costumes for all
parts were designed and made by mem
bers of the company.
Below the stage, stood a pressing board
placed horizontally on two chair backs,
the liatlron connected with a socket in
she footlights And upon the ironing
board rested the director's megaphone,
also the director's elbows, while he list
ened to the actors on the stage. 1 sup
pose Judge Ballou never before had been
in touch with a laundry utensil.
Scattered in heaps upon the floor and
tossed over chair hacks were half fin
ished costumes tint! a quantity of uncut
flannelette of all colors, and scores of
water color designs.
Suddenly Jeanne exclaimed:
“Look at Bonny 1”
DID YOU
KNOW—
You should never contradict another
person, even If you are sure the state
ment he has made is erroneous.
There is nothing more distressing
to others than to have to listen to
disputes.
It is better to let a statement pass
unchallenged than to start an un
pleasant discussion.

"I don't see how anybody could over
look her!” I replied. “She's the most
astonishing note in this amazing Jum
ble!"
"She’s dressed for a dance,” whispered
Jeanne. 1 murmured that from our point
of view she hardly seemed to be dressed
at all. That audacious flapper was seat
ed at* a kitchen table, a stage "prop,"
which the publicity people had requisi
tioned for a writing desk.
"What's she up to?” queried Jack.
“Addressing envelopes, announcements
of the production," I told him. "Looks
absorbed, doesn't she? Well, sha isn't.
Bonny Tesrle Is perfectly conscious this
niinutp that you are talking about her.
that George Bradshaw doesn't take his
eyes off from her, that her evening cloak
lias slipped from her shoulders, and that
the only bits of her covering on view
above that kitchen table are those rhine
stone suspenders.”
Fifty persons worked in the rehear
snl or worked for it or watched it that
night. One hundred pairs of eyes gazed
straight at Bonny when she rose to greet
our party. She came, half running, a
mere child In figure and gesture. But
—that awful dress! Amazement made
Jeanne and I almost rude.
In any normal social era it would
have taken a young matron of 30. one
with a lot of poise, sophistication and so
cial prestige to get away with that danc
ing gown. And Bonny was only 16!
Her skirt was short and not very full.
Her bodice was of silver cloth coming
to an upward point in the middle of the
front, barely as high as required; to
each side of the point was attached a
string of rhinestones laid on black vel
vet straps which went over her shoul
ders and fastened to her skirt at the belt.
They coultl not have been attached to
the waist In the back, for there was
none. The silver bodice sloped low un
der the arms nnd tapered to nothingness
behind.—Copyright. 1922.

SAYS WOMEN OF
CUBA DESERVE
HIGH PRAISES
Island Resident, on Home
Visit, Tells of Present
Conditions.
By CONSTANCE DREXEL.
WASHINGTON, May 13.—-With the de
tailing of General Crowder on special
mission to Cuba, that neighboring coun-(
try hns been a source of interest for
tome months past.
Sent by the State Department to Ha
vana as an assistant to General Crow
der, was Mrs. Edith B. Newman, who
had resided in Cuba many years before.
She was detailed to translate the laws
Issues by the special and regular ses
sions of the Cuban congress.
And now she is back for a visit to
her homeland and in Washington to
attend the dedication services of the new
National Woman's Party headquarters
on May 21. Kite brings greetings from
Senora Malien De Ostolaza, the veteran
suffragist worker of Cuba, by whose
efforts a woman suffrage bill was passed
by the Cuban congress on May 3.
Asked to throw some light on present
conditions in Cuba, with special empha
sis on the position of women. Mrs New
man praised Cuban women to the skies
but sent the Cuban man to an ignomiu
ous back seat.
“The women of Cuba are clever, re
sourceful and strong mentally, once the
element is removed,” she told the writer
when seen at headquarters of the Na
tional Woman’s party. “The men, on the
contrary are, on the whole, untrained
• and Incapable of assuming responsibil
ity or even to be depended on in smaller
matters, vain and egotistical, with no
qualities to Justify vanity or egotism, So
when the Cuban woman is wholly awake
to her possibilities and has cast off the
last remnant of the sex shackles she has
so long borne, we may look for some
thing worth while in Cuba."
The opinion atove expressed was in
corporated in a statement prepared by
Mrs. Newman for the writer, in which,
she continued: I
“The nearness of Cuba to our own great
country, the admiration and respect, al
though grudgingly given in many cases,
which our systems command, have had
their part in effecting changes in public
opinon in Cuba. The commercial and
financial life of Cuba's capital is Increas
ingly American, and English is spoken
quite generally. This is but the begin
ning and the harvest is not yet in sight.
I “The new viewpoint is being absorbed
. by the feminine element, as it is reason
ably to he expected after the long years
j of Turkish harem existence dealt out to
; former generations. More and more fain
i ilies are sending their children, both
| boys and girls, to schools of the United
! States. And in the University of
j Havana, women of Cuba are now eligible
,to all courses, none closed to her. Into
the commercial life the less trained ele
, ments are coming, taking smaller clerical
j positions and doing creditable work,
j “Recent legislation has lifted many
j disabilities of the married woman, par
, ticularly that of huddling her own prop
j.erty, entirely independent of her hus
-1 band's intervention. This law' as passed
I during the war.”
| ' As for tiivorce, that, strange to say.
; has been made easy. “Through a law- in
i troduced in the House by Dr. Prestes
| Ferrera and finally enacted into law four
j years ago,” continued Mrs. Newman.
; "the unequally' yoked may. without
weeks of scandal and unwholesome no
toriety. by mutual consent or reasonable
grounds, be given an interlocutory de
cree of divorce binding after the lapse
of a year. This divorce law was passed
in spite of the united protests of the
priests of the Roman Church, and even
I in the face of loud protests from th"
women themselves. On May 3 the Cubani
Senate scratched the word male from the"
constitution. Several other steps are
still necessary, but at any rate, another
page in the history of woman suffrage
was turned."
Before going to Cuba with Genera!
Crowder. Mrs. Newman served for sev
eral years before the war in the Latin
Americau division of the State Depart
ment. but resigned when a law clerk
ship was refused to her on account of
her sex.
She has now terminated her services
with the Crowder mission, but is em
ployed as executive secretary in Havana
by a large American corporation In
which post she will return after her
northern visit.—Copyright, 1922, by Pub
lic Ledger Company.
