MOSQUITOES AND Sits.

From the Admission (Ala) Star.
Preachers, lawyers, doctors and
dignifed danes have cried aloud
against the slit skirt, but their in
vective has been all in vain. Now
comes the lowly mosquito, however,
and his stand in favor of the bifur-
Gated raiment promises to do that
which the moralists have failed to do.
A special from New York is to the
effect that mosquitoes approve of
slit skirts, and a number of feminine
excursionists from that city can eX-
hibit disfigured ankles to prove this
point 1t is an admitted fact that
few persons of the feminine persua-
sion wear slit skirts unless they have
nice, soft, plump and luscious ankles;
and this furnishes an opportunity for
great reveling to the genus culex.
The mosquitoes of New York bit
those excursiontsts, and the word has
therefore gone forth that slit skirts
are not a perfect assurance of heav-
emily comfort in mosquito time
Therefore. we expect to hear at an
early date of the passing of the slit
to the land of hustle and hoops and
boomers and romping ruffles.
The moral is: Who said there is
no virtue in a mosquito?

GEORGIA'S CRIME WAVE.
From the Savannah Press.

Tt is a fact borne out by intelli-

these crime waves or their causes,
but none has yet been brought for
ward that really gives a satisfactory
elucidation of the phenomenon
