piece Of ivory under a micro
scope is a very interesting object.
The average weight of a full
grown tusk is about so pounds.
but in exceptional cases it may
reach 175 pounds. There is one
pair of tusks in existence which
weighs, in the aggregate, $50
pounds. the weight of one being
2S5 and that of the other 225
pounds.
The length and girth are very
variable. An eight-foot tusk is
regarded as a notably large one.
but there are some in museums
measuring from ten TO over elev-
en- feet. Some years ago Major
Powell-Cotton shot an elephant
in the Congo whose tusks
weighed. together. S72 pounds.
Sometimes the greatest circum-
ference of a tush may reach
nearly two feet.
IL only needs a glance at some
of the current uses of ivory in
order TO understand why the Gle
phant is fast disappearing. The
largest quantity is probably en-
ployed i'm making billiard balls.
but IL is also used for pianoforte
keys. combs. brush backs, cane
handles, Chessmen. carved fig
ures, in which the Chinese and
Japanese excel panels for min

things, and. in addition. the pig

This would seem TO be a pref
~ big order calling for a wis
dom and Judgment far exceed
ingN the tabled acumen Of Solo
mon. Dut Mr.. Capelle goes further.
He decides upon the features OF
the present fashion that he con-
siders detrimental to morals. and
specifies that there shall be no
display of transparent stockings
in public places" that no "un-
draped real or artificial figures
shah be displayed in department
stores and he forbids the wear
ing OF any outer garment trim
med OF combined with lace, in
sertion, or any kind OF embroid-
cry, mesh, or net, through which
the color or texture of the skin
may be distinguished.
Also. he fixes a rigid dead
line for the low neck gown by
providing that not more than two
inches of the neck below the chin
shall be uncovered
II is hard to believe that a bin
of this nature is needed in Ohio.
If it Is, Mr.. Capelle has, in bu-
collie parlance, got the wrong pig
by the ear If the women of Ohio
must go bundled up like mum

men it isn't the women's clothes

I T is one of the notable pecu-
Iiarities Of reformers that
when they start out to make
the world better they always
tackle the sins and Weaknesses If
others. and Try TO prohibit the
doing Of things tina, they never do
themselves. They want to re-

ton emanates from Ohio, where
Representative Louis :. Capelle
has announced that it is his be
lief that the immodesty of attire
worn by women on the streets is
the cause of the great wave of
immortality now sweeping over the
country
In order to stop the said wave
of immortality Mr.. Capelle has
introduced a bill into the Legis-
lature that provides for a COM
mission of three married men,
between the ages of 80 and so,
whose duties it shall be to pre-
scribe rules and regulations for
the designing and manufacture of
women's clothing, and prohibit

WOMAN'S DRESS is NOT IMMORAL
Those Who Say That Had Better Check Up Their Own Principles
Virtue to the Corrupt All Things Are Compt-Conroling
Female Dress by Law Is Joke, Says Dorothy Dix.

And this is the attitude of the
esty that springs from being
clean minded. What he notices
about a woman's clothes is mere
ly whether they are pretty and
becoming, not if they are a lure
TO sensuality. So far as the
American man is concerned, he
could qualify morally and mental
" as a Knight of the Garter. and
his motto is, "Honi soft qui NAL Y
pense."
After all custom and fashion
make the law that determines
what is proper and improper in
such matters. The Turkish WON
an outrages decency if she ex-
poses her face to the public eve.
We see nothing immodest in
viewing a womans countenance.
Our grandmothers would have
been esteemed bold if they showed
the tip Of their slippers.
We wear short skirts, and no
one perceives anything any more
vulgar in the sight of a foot than
a hand.
In the summer. on the bathing
beach, no one looks a second time
at a woman with skirt that
comes only to her knees, though
the police would run her in if she
should appear on Peachtree in
such an abbreviated costume in
the winter.
When a Bills a Joke.
Time was when a woman IN
tights on the stage was truly
shocking, but such a costume is
just part of the spectacle now to
which we do not give a second
thought nor a second glance. The
South Sea Island girl who wears
a sweet smile and a bead neck
lace is just as modestly attired,
according to the styles in her
country as a Fifth Avenue dame
in a sealskin coat is, as judged
by tho standards of her set.
The truth is that propTiety Is
in the eye of the beholdcr. We
see in everything just what is at
the back OF our own minds, and
those who find the present fash
ions of tight skirts, and Dutcn
necks. and peekaboo waists de-
moralizing need to do something
to correct their own moral OBJ
liquity Of vision. It's their men,
tai attitude that's wrong, not tile
styles
or course, any bill to regulate
women's clothes by law is a joke
Women dress to please men, and
men are pleased with the way
that women dress, or else women
wouldn't dress that way. The
normal. wholesome minded man
finds nothing to cavil at In the
present styles. or else his sweet
heart his wife and his daugh-
ter wouldn't be going about in
pipe-stem skirts and silk stock
ings and pumps.
The Ohio legislator would have
to seek further than women's
clothes for the source OF immor-
ality.
