WASHINGTON, May 6.—Flappers have done more to establish the general independence of women than all the professional feminists combined, according to Mrs. George Morgan, president of the British delegation, at the International Women's conference here the crusaders of the lipstick and the boyish bob, have blazed a trail of freedom which ultimately will establish women upon an equal moral footing with men, she said. "What you call the flapper movement is universal," she told the United Press. It has swept continental Europe and even we in England have it. It is a natural protest against the obsolete customs of olden times. Modern women are fast stripping themselves of ancient shackles and in the end they will stand upon equal moral standard. "I think perhaps we in Europe have accomplished more towards that end than you have here in the United States. Several countries have given legal recognition to the equal standard. It will not be many years before the old double standard is dead for good." The women's council itself is contemplating action to stimulate the feminine fight for freedom. Resolutions framed by the morals committee will be presented today. One urges the councils in each nation to cooperate to thwart traffic in women, white slavery and immoral immigration. Another opposes state regulation of prostitution, which still is a custom in some of the 37 nations participate in the council. Still another sets the feminine "age of consent" at 18. Among the creatures that live on green things are sheep, elephants and vamps. The only thing about the ensemble that women don't agree on is pronunciation. The hateful thing about the wicked is their carefree enjoyment of the things we miss. Trial of a suit brought by Krist Knezevitch of Cypress to collect $8000 in damages from H. N.
