  • Primary Documents-1920'S
    A FLAPPER'S APPEAL TO PARENTS BY ELLEN WELLES PAGE The following article by Ellen Welles Page appeared in Outlook magazine on December 6, 1922. The illustrations which accompany this piece did not accompany the original article, but are added here for your viewing pleasure. Also, please note: the term "make love" meant to "sweet talk" someone in the 1920's - it did not have it's current meaning. Language, like fashions and music, has also changed over time. If one judge by appearances, I suppose I am a flapper. I am within the age limit. I wear bobbed hair, the badge of flapperhood. (And, oh, what a comfort it is!), I powder my nose. I wear fringed skirts and bright-colored sweaters, and scarfs, and waists with Peter Pan collars, and low- heeled "finale hopper" shoes. I adore to dance. I spend a large amount of time in automobiles. I attend hops, and proms, and ball-games, and crew races, and other affairs at men's colleges. But none the less some of the most thoroughbred superflappers might blush to claim sistership or even remote relationship with such as I. I don't use rouge, or lipstick, or pluck my eyebrows. I don't smoke (I've tried it, and don't like it), or drink, or tell "peppy stories." I don't pet. And, most unpardonable infringement of all the rules and regulations of Flapperdom, I haven't a line! But then--there are many degrees of flapper. There is the semi-flapper; the flapper; the superflapper. Each of these three main general divisions has its degrees of variation.

But here is a partial list: New silent-action clutch; seats re-designed for greater comfort; new five-bearing crankshaft of finest alloy steel; new starting system; new steering ease; easier gear shifting; softer pedal action; new muffler; smart new lines and colors. Take the car out for a trial.

  • Political Cartoons, 1920S Prosperity
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION * THE T WENTIES IN POLITICAL CARTOONS Twelve political cartoons examining facets of economic prosperity in the 1920s appear on the following pages. PROSPERITY From four general circulation (white-owned) news- papers and one black-owned newspaper, they span the years 1919, when the nation was mired in postwar recession and unrest, to 1928, when unparalleled prosperity seemed in the grasp of anyone with capital, energy, and gumption. To analyze a political cartoon, consider its: CONTENT. First, basically describe what is drawn in the cartoon (without referring to the labels). What is depicted? What is happening? CONTEXT. Consider the timing. What is happening in national events at the time of the cartoon? Check the date: what occurred in the days and weeks before the cartoon appeared? LABELS. Read each label; look for labels that are not apparent at first, and for other written content in the cartoon. SYMBOLS. Name the symbols in the cartoons. What do they mean? How do they convey the cartoon’s “Sound as a Dollar” Los Angeles Times, October 20, 1927 meaning? TITLE. Study the title. Is it a statement, question, exclamation? Does it employ a well-known phrase, e.g., slang, song lyric, movie title, radio show, political or product slogan? How does it encapsulate and enhance the cartoonist’s point? TONE. Identify the tone of the cartoon. Is it satirical, comic, tragic, ironic, condemning, quizzical, imploring? What adjective describes the feeling of the cartoon? How do the visual elements in the drawing align with its tone? POINT.

    REPORTS OF INTERNATIONAL ARBITRAL AWARDS RECUEIL DES SENTENCES ARBITRALES Gertrude Parker Massey (U.S.A.) v. United Mexican States 15 April 1927 VOLUMEIV pp. 155-164 NATIONS UNIES - UNITED NATIONS Copyright (c) 2006 MEXICO/U.S.A. (GENERAL CLAIMS COMMISSION) 155 made which could warrant the Commission in reaching the conclusion that the reduction of the sentence resulted in a denial of justice as that term is understood in international law. The other point in the case, the fact that the accused did not serve the entire sentence of eight years imposed upon him raises more difficult ques- tions. These difficulties confronting the Commission result from the scarcity and vagueness of the evidence in the record. There is evidence of fault, but nothing more. Therefore, it is, as stated in the opinion of Commissioner MacGregor, impossible to fix precisely the degree of delinquency on the part of the respondent Government. The instant case, therefore, differs materially from other cases passed upon by the Commission in which there has been considerable evidence of negligence and in which the Commission has rendered larger awards. Decision The Commission decides that the United Mexican States are obligated to pay to the United States of America on behalf of Ida Robinson Smith Putnam $6,000 (six thousand dollars), without interest.

PROCEDURE, ADMISSIBILITY OF DEFENCE RAISED IN BRIEF NOT THERETOFORE RAISED IN PLEADINGS. It is questionable whether a defence raised for the first time in the brief, and as to which relevant facts have not been produced, may be considered by tribunal.
