Modern Standards
of Morals Praised
By Social Worker
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, May 6.—Speaking of ex
periences covering many years among
tens of thousands of working girls
and women, Miss Lilian Barker, gov
ernor of the Bortsal Institution for
Girls at Aylesbury, in a recent lec
ture, asserted that their moral stan
dard was never higher than today,
because the modern women knowr all
the facts of life as they exist at the
present time.
The mental outlook of the young
people today was the greatest hope
for the future, asserted Miss Barker,
“and there is no humbug about it."
It was seldom that people now-a-days
ever saw* the present-day girl chuck
a book under the sofa cushon when
her mother appeared, said the lec
turer. Instead, if the mother should
ask in these times, “What book is
that you are reading?" the girl al
most invariably replied: “Oh, it’s all
right, but it’s not the sort fit for
you to read, mother," and let it go
at that.
Mss Barker expressed herself as
believing that this practice, every
thing considered, was a perfectly
splendid thing because she did not
think there was one solitary thing
in lfe that the modern girls should
chuck under the sofa cushion. “The
mothers of other years were not
reared that way,” averred Miss Bar
ker, “but the girls now ought to be
told to look at things clearly and
squarely as they are."
Almost everybody complained that
young people of today did not go to
church as they did formerly, said
Miss Barker, and then added: “and
a very good thing this is, too." She
contended that the forced church
going of twice a day of olden times
rendered it a farce. Young women
went to church now when the church
could give them something that no
other place could give. When the
churches gave the young people
what they wanted, they certainly
would attend services regularly. Miss
Barker agreed that regular church
worship was a real thing, but forced
church-going in her opinion, was .a
great mistake.

Parachute As Used Today
like Apparatus of 1799
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, May 5.—The Royal Air
Force today is using a parachute per
fected by an American, which fact
has brought out comment and dis
cussion as to the history of the use
of parachutes in aeronautics.
The assertion is made that the
first life-saver of this kind was con
ceived 132 years ago by Jacques
Garnerin, a Frenchman. He worked
out the idea while a prisoner of the
Germans in the Ehrenbreitstein for
tress, at Coblence on the Rhine, and
with a parasol-like contrivance drop
ped safely from the fortress walls to
liberty.
Thus convinced that his theory was
sound, Garnerin, once back in France
perfected his mechanism and, using
a parachute built virtualy along the
line followed today, in 1799 made
a successful drop from a balloon
from a height of 3,000 feet.
18,000 Former Officers
Among Jobless Britons
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, May 5.—There are more
than 18,000 British ex-officers who
served in the war who have not had
opportunity to work since the arm
istice, according to recent announce
ment of the appointments department

They are nearly all highly skilled

Baronets, pre-war company direc
tors and baristers call at the de
partment offices every day in search
of jobs, many of them willing to ac
r
cept positions at almost any wage,
says the announcement. Since 1918
the appointment department has plac
ed some 80,000 former officers and
men, and an appeal is made to em
ployers of all kinds to assist in the
task of finding work for the re
mainder of the men on the unem
ployed list of the bureau.
