Find Her Rattle-Brained. Los Angeles, Cal.—Farewell, ye flappers! Come hither, ye old-fashioned girls. Such has become the slogan of Los Angeles, known the world over as the capital of flaperdom—large ly because it also is the centre of the firm Industry. “Contrary to the prevailing be lief that flappers have become the generally accepted thing, we have found that there Is more senti ment against them than ever be fore,’ declares Ned Marr, director of the alumni bureau of occupa tions at the University of Califor nia. at I os Angeles. “Our lecords show that the sweet young thing who spend much of her time with paint, powder and rouge and is overconscious of her appearance is not in demand,” con tinued Marr. “Shg stands a poor show alongside of her plainer sis ter whose education, practical ap plication and skill in training make her valuable in business. Want No Flappers. “A large number of the persons who call us for girls to do part time work specify that they do not want any flappers. Many of the positions we secure for co-eds are in private homes, doing housework, taking care of children or as com panions for older people. In nearly every instance those asking for girls to do this kind of work speci fy that they must be sensible, de pendable, homeloving girls, who do not go out much and do not spend three-fourths of their time before a mirror. "Even men wno want grris m oi flces shun the flapper type. They <!o not consider them the equal of plainer girls from the standpoint of ability or poise. Particularly. If a girl Is. to be In a reception room, she must have a personality and poise that employers don't seem to find in a flapper. “Prom my own experience In this bureau. I think that the pretty stenographer idea Is vastly over worked. I find that most men pre fer the plainer girl who is efficient and doesn’t spend a great part of her time thinking of dates." Calls ’Em Rattle-Brained. Marr, as head of the alumni em ployment bureau at the university, supervises the filing of about 2,500 Jobs every year. Most of them are odd Job6 lasting only a day or two. But between 400 and 500 of them are permanent part-time positions. The majority of calls for girls are for housework, companions for chil dren or old folk, office work, wait ing on table in tea rooms and piano accompanists. “I don’t mean that there is no demand lor pretty girls,” he ex plains. “There Is a vast difference between a pretty girl and a flap per. In fact, a flapper very often isn’t pretty. My idea of a flapper is a girl who is flighty, has very little poise, Is forward nd to some extent rattle-brained. “About the only calls we get for the flapper type girl to from adver tising agencies who want to use them for newspaper pictures. They nearly always ask for the flappers because they figure they will at tract attention quicker than the most conservative girl even though the latter may be far more beauti fuL" , _ Lead Confederate Vets For the first time at any In augural, confederate organiza tions will be present.
