Briefing “The early twenties when we drank wood alcohol and every day in every way grew better and better, and there was a first abortive shortening of the skirts, and girls all looked alike in sweater dresses…” -F. Scott Fitzgerald All of these guys and gals have different ideas about if they want to be able to have a Hair of the Dog every once in a while or if they want to have all of the good stuff prohibited. The real question is how many people are actually obeying this law or is they are still finding a way to get in a little liqour here and there.

Letter from the Editor Letter From Editor Best Radio in the Whole Universe By Camryn Benge Radios are the cat’s meow of today! They come in all shapes and sizes, for many different reasons. But the Roger’s Batteryless Receiver Model 130 is the best household radio you with ever find. It is very conveniently sized for homes. Other radios, such as: Crystal radios, 250 watt spark transmitter, and a cathedral style radio, are all types of wrong for your household! The Roger’s Batteryless Receiver Model 130 are very ducky. Crystal radios are old news, cathedral radios are not very copacetic, and the 250 watt spark transmitters cost a lot of dough and are also for airplanes. The Roger’s Batteryless Receiver Model 130 is the way to go! While you are listening to your Roger’s Batteryless Receiver Model 130; tune into KDKA and listen to your favorites! Or listen to the radio station by Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company.
They play: popular music, classical music, sporting events, lectures, fictional stories, newscasts, weather reports, market updates, and political commentaries. Whoopee!
Enjoy your radio anytime of the day!
Letter From The Editor Continued... By Kenna Simpson
Crystal Radios, are among the first radios to be manufactured and used. These Crystal radios have made people enjoy the radio now from home! Now that’s pretty nifty, right? If y’all don’t know.. Edwin Armstrong worked at improving the radio all together! In the beginning, as well all know there was no government control over the radio frequencies. It’s not uncommon for another voice to come on the radio when trying to listen to something different! Am I right? Well, all we can do is hope things get better with this copacetic system we now call a radio!

By: Abby Henderson What is wrong with the youngsters nowadays? We need to go back to a slower and more peaceful pace. What ever happened to family first? I myself wouldn’t be caught dead in the stuff the bluenose are wearin’. My husband preaches how happy we are at our farm. And how! Instead of drinking like a Big Six I’ m gonna enjoy a swell cup of joe. Being in the country, we are all church oriented; we put the Good Lord first. I don’t know nothing about what goes on in those big-shot cities but I can’t imagine what the Good Man Upstairs is thinking looking down at these young ladies acting like hooligans. Dear Lord, help us Americans find our way back to our peaceful and respectable lifestyle.

By: Ellie Gretter All of these hags complaining about how we live in the cities is nonsense. Us women have the right to party as we want to, drink till we drop, and show as much of our skin as we please. Just because times are a changin’ doesn’t mean that the oldfashioned folks can tell us how to live our lives. Just ‘cause we’re going out on Saturday night doesn’t mean that we can’t pick ourselves up for church the next morning. I believe that the lord put us on this planet to live our lives the best that we can. So I say bottoms up ladies!

Letter to the Editor: WetsWets vs. Drys Letter to the Editor: vs. Drys Pro Wets Prohibition By Kenna Simpson By Camryn Benge
Things need to change around here. Just because we have they 18th Amendment, but there are still bootleggers. The 18th Amendment was created because in 1830 the average person fifteen and older consumed SEVEN GALLONS of liquor a year, what an earful! People may think drinking is copacetic, but it isn’t. There are alcoholics and drunks ruining other people’s lives. Some women still are dependent on their husbands to bring home the money, but liquor gets in the. Don’t take any wooden nickels! The amount of criminals here are in the millions because of alcohol. Dry up! Article by: Debby Anderson
We hate the 18th Amendment. And think it should be replaced. And we should have the freedom to manufacture, transport, and sell alcohol. January 16 is when the Federal Volstead Act closed every tavern and bar in the United States. Now this is going to drive the liquor trade underground. We’re now simply going to nominally illegal speakeasies instead of just going to a close-by bar or tavern. We don’t understand why Congress would pass this law when they should know well that we will just go to speakeasies! Don’t they know nothing! Article by: Betsy Johnson

Society Jazz started in New Orleans about
100 years ago, it has roots from Africa and Europe, and now we are listening to it here in America, 1920s. I believe that jazz music has given blacks a lot more respect because they have brought such a wonderful gift to the US. Marcus Gravey has also done a lot to help out. King Oliver is the cat’s pajamas! He has created “Hot Jazz”, it’s referring to his collective improvisation. Oliver’s is a mentor and a teacher for Louis Armstrong. King Oliver was also in The Olympia, Onward Brass, The Original Superior, and The Eagle Band. There are a lot of different famous jazz performers, Louis Armstrong and Kid Ory. While listening to jazz women get all dolled up in their flappers, people smoke a ciggy, and drink. Listening to jazz music became a sort of pastime for American families; they would sit around the living room and listen to jazz on the radio. Marcus Gravey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association represents the largest mass movement in America, there are an established 700 branches in 38 states.
By Camryn Benge This association reached from urban places all the way to rural places. This association helps blacks get more good reputation. Blacks gained good reputation by creating beautiful art: music. Black leaders such as W.E.B. DoBois, James Weldon Johnson, Charles S. Johnson, Alain Lokke created a school of black literature. This is a part of the Harlem Renaissance.

19th Amendment By Kenna Simpson
We women finally get a change. Finally get to speak our own opinion. This change eventually didn’t only affect us women, it eventually changed the way people (especially men) looked at us and finally it was our turn to speak up.
Now we now get to work more, speak more of our own opinion. We are now receiving a better education too! It’s so nice now, it finally feels as if we’re not a dumb dora anymore!
It’s so nifty to walk around now just like men do. It’s such an amazing feeling! It seems like the turn of the 20th century brought momentum to the women suffrage cause almost! Elizabeth and Cody stanton Lucretia Mott organized the first women’s right Seneca Falls!
Now we truly live in a new day, and are blessed with new manners. Now we know; in this time it was necessary to convince that even in politics women can be feminine.

The Coco Chanel showing off her newest idea.. Pants for women!
Who Wears the Pants in Your Relationship? Interviewed by: Abby Henderson Coco Chanel graciously sat down with 20’s Honey for an interview on October 23rd, 1921. 1.When did you first get the idea for pants for women? “Growing up i would see my dearest father wearing pants, but mother never wore any. I always thought it was odd that men could wear them and women could not.” 2.Why do you think women will want to start wearing pants? “Women should be just as comfortable as a man while doing what a lady does. A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” 3.What do you think as you see women walking down the streets with pants on? “I’m proud of my fellow ladies. They can look classy and dolled up in a pair of pants.” 4.What do you have to say to women reading this? “Women must tell men they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.” 5.Can elder ladies wear pants like the younger dolls? “Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped adolescence but those who have already taken possession of their future. I am not young, but i feel young. The day I feel old, i will go to bed and stay there. J’aime la vie! I feel to live is a wonderful thing. 6.Many country folk ask what exactly do you think you can accomplish by women wearing pants? “The possibilities are endless. Women possibilities are endless. 7.Are you trying for everyone's’ approval on pants for women? “It’s not for everyone. Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform into a door” 8.Will this fashion stay for a while? “Pants for women isn’t fashion.It’s style. Fashion fades, only style remains the same.” 9.Many would argue dresses are the right thing a women should wear, being that women should always be classy. “Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.” 10.What is the next Cat’s Pajamas you are going to conjur up? “A magician never reveals his secret, i shall not reveal my ideas.”
