FLAPPKKS I SE SLANG
Takes a Wine Old (iuy to KtM?p I'p
With Talk of Young Folk
Atlanta, (ia. -The .soft Southern
drawl famed in sons; and story as
characteristic of the belles of Dixie
is being pretty badly strained to take
care of the 1925 brand of slang the
flappers are using.
I)o you, for instance, know what a
"bush ape" is?
In Dixit- flapperese, it is the type
of a guy who ia all nerve, inlaid with
brass and the sort who always gets
a telephone call just when ^he waiter
is approaching with the bill.
Ever meet a "wrapper?"
ThafV a fat lady who is living on
lamb chops and pineapple,, aud taking
her daily dozen because her husband
likes slim girls and she is trying to
pet that way. Sudden fits of temper
on the part of plump young women
are often described by th? remark:
"Poor kid, she's an awfpl wap, you
know,"
"Hopscotching mother" which is
not only a favorite phrase, but al.-jo
a popular custom, means putting one
over on the maternal parent.
"Mushrooms" are wild oats of a
mild variety. "Picking" or tearing
off mushroom*" means that one is
seeing a bit of life, but not too much.
A modern girl- who' "knows her mush
rooms" is one who knows a thtng-or
two, and the expression is one of
commendation and carries no slur on
manners or morals.
(J iris are no longer referred to as
flappers, members of Shebas, but
simply as "shes." They., may be
"static shes," which means "dumb
Doras," "smooth shes" ? those who
know their stuff ? or "wet shes" who
are perfectly hopeless.
"Catnip" is the expression used to
describe a crushing retort delivered to
show incredulity. A favorite "catnip"
for instance, is to wait until a long!
and unconvincing spiel is ended and
then say, apropos of nothing: "And |
just then the shovel broke," or "oys- j
ters don't get sunburned," or "snakes j
wear no garters."
"Wet smack" is now used to desig
nate that unfortunate individual for- J
merly known as a total loss, and j
"cookie pushers" and "divan demons" {
have taken the place of lounge j
lizards. i
Petters or neck artists who are j
rather inept at their work are known
as "fumblers," or "muffers." (Jold
diggers are described as "hoisters,"
a word culled from ' the criminal
world, and boobs are now called
"mullets."
And hero are a few more pet
phrases without which the younger
set would be forced to resort to sign
language:
"All dolled up like a French
pastry." *
"Reline your brakes, my good
man."
"She's not in my orchard, old
fruit."
"What's your wave length, dearie?"
"Why cry over spilt milk? Call
in the cat."
"So full of ideas there's an R. O.
sign hung on his ears."
"He's no shiek, he's a mail order
Mohamet."
"One of those bathroom baritones."
"W ell, meaning: .Just Like poison
ivy."
I'R A NK I N(i SflOT FATAL
>1 ain "Snaps" Pistol and Dau^hter-in
l.uw Falls in Death
Dillon, Oct. ? Distrait with re
morse. M. C. Strickland, tenant farm
er on a plantation near here, sits
with glazed eyes in the local jail
while the 17-year-old wife of his
equally youthful son sleeps the long:
sleep, her life having been snuffed
out when her brain wa? pierced by
a bullet from the pistol with which
Strickland was "pranking."
The shooting occurred at Strick
land's home Monday afternoon and
according to his testimony at the
coroner's inquest hekk soon after
ward. Strickland had been doing
some random shooting -about the
place. Coming around the corner of
the house he .spied his daughter-in
law, Alma Strickland, and playfully
waved the pistol at her. She asked
if he wanted to shoot her, he says
and states further that he turned the
cylinder of the revolver back to where
he thought the weapon would snap
twice before firing. Aiming straight
at the girl's face, he pulled the trig
ger. the pistol fired and she fell over
never to speak again. Strickland's
testimony was partially corroborated
by his daughter, Florence.
Strickland, generally thought to be
a sober man, is thought to have been
drinking wine prior to <he shooting.
The coroner suspected this from the
odor of his breath and ordered a
search that revealed a barrel of grape
wine on the premises.
L It is proposed to unearth and p*rt~
(w reconstruct the ancient Circn*
Maximo* of Imperial Rove.

Rl'KAL POLICEMAN KILLED
Slayer Probably Fatally Injured in
Triangle Shooting
Spartanburg, Oct. tt.? 'Rural lJolio*?r
man K. A. Shields is dead and J. K.
Stacey and Solon Stacey, cousins, are
probably fatally wounded, as a re
sult of a shooting affray near Ches
nee Thursday when the officer is said
to have attempted to search a car in
which the Staceys with J. E. Stacey'-)
wife and sister were riding.
According to a story told by Wil
lis Green, Shields had parted his car
in front of his home about a half
mile from Chesnee between 8:30 and
9 o'clock. The Staceys, riding in a
light roadster, passed and 9 short
time later returned. "There is liquo?
in that car," Green says Shields said
as he started in pursuit.
Misra Alice Stacey said that when
Shields overtook them Solon stopped
the car.- Shields approached with a
drawn gun and J. E, jerked Solon's
gun from his < Solon's) hand and the
firing started, She says that she
does not know who fired the first
shot.
Shields was shot twice, once in the
body and once between the eyej.
Solon Stacy received one wound and
J. K. two. Only two shells had been
fired in Shield's gun. One bullot is
believed to have ' passed through
Solon Stacey- and his cousin. Solon
says he does not know who fired any
of tha shots. J. E. told hospital au
thorities that Shields shot him.
Shields is the second Spartanburg
county* officer killed v since June 1 in
connection iwth liquor raids. . Rural
Policeman J. R. Snoddy was killed
near Cross Anchor June 5 by Oliver
Harrison. A mistrial resulted from
a hearing of the case in Union county
last week. Constable Dave Williams
was kiHed at Holly Springs June 8.
Three Campbell brothers arc held.
They claim the shooting was acci
dental.

Honest John
Before Bill Wright went back to
I Universal to handle serials, he had
an orange grove out near Fullerton.
It was picking time and Bill was in
a great stew .over the shortage of
help to harvest his crop, when a
tramp stopped by the fence and asked
for work. ,
Bill looked the fellow over doubt
fully and finally said: "If I were sure
you are honest, I'd give you a job
gathering these oranges."
"Honest!" exclaimed the tramp
with offended dignity. "I was man
ager of a public bath house for fif
teen years, and never took a single
bath." ? Pittsburg Chroniclo-Tele
