scope is a very interesting object.
The average weight of a fun

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

The length and girth are very

regarded as a notably large one.

purposes as the teeth. They are
used not only for Selling. tearing,

Americans, and they must surely
resent the implication that Mr..
Capelle makes that they are so
degenerate that they can not be
trusted to look upon a nice girl in
a lace trimmed shirtwaist, and
with her neat ankles incased in
openwork stockings. without be-
ing filled with unholy thoughts, to
say nothing of their having to be
protected by law from the fatal
fascination of wax dummies in
store windows.
The Corrupt in Mind.
Irwin Cobb once defined a per-
feet gentleman as a man who
could say leg and think limb,
and that description holds good.
To the pure all things are pure,
and to the corrupt everything is
rotten. Mr.. Capelle's imagination
evidently belongs to the latter
class, and he would see evil in
innocence itself. though it were
cloaked i'm a meal sack.
\ woman once asked the great
DIR. johnson if he thought the
nude i'm art was immodest.
NO." he replied, but the ques-
ton is"
The same comment may GER
tainly be made on the bin to pro-
hibit the wearing of decollete
gowns or lace trimmed waists by
women.
The menace to society is not in
the women's mode of dress, but in
the decadent minds of men who
can see anything suggestive in
the soft white throat of a girl or
the CLEAN of pink flesh through a
bit of semi transparent embroid-
cry.

When a Bills a Joke.

Time was when 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 the standards of her set.
The truth is that propriety is
in the eye of the beholder. We
see in everything just what is al
the back of our own minds, and
those who find the present fash
ions Of tight skirts, and Dutch
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 the
styles.
OF course, any bill to regulate
women's clothes by law is 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
dnds 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 womens
clothes for the source Of immof-
ality.

Transparent Hose.

This would seem to be pref
ty big order, calling for wis
dom and judgment far exceed
ing the tabled acumen of Solo
mon, but 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
shall oe displayed in department
stores" and he forbids the wear
ing of any outer garment trim
med or 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 bill
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 num-
mics in order not to tempt the
men it isn't the women's clothes
that need reforming. 1t is the
morals of the men.
The men of Ohio are a fine
type of clean minded, chivalrous

TT is one of the notable pecu
liarities of reformers that
when they start out to make
the wcrld better they always
tackle the sins and weaknesses Of
others, and try TO prohibit the
doing Of things that they never do
themselves. They want to re-
form everybody but themselves.
It's men who possess nothing
but u few hideous tubular gar
ments, and who are prevented by
custom from adjoining their per-
SONS in fancy raiment, who are
forever trying 70 regulate the way
that women dress.
The latest effort in this direc-
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 80,
whose duties it shall be to pre-
scribe rules and regulations for
the designing and manufacture of
womens clothing, and prohibit
such styles and patterns of gar
ments as the commission, after a
hearing, shall deem to be detri-
mental to virtue or chastity"

HE HITS A
NEW IDEA

The biggest display of sale
shoes, featuring a novelty original
and unique in design and ar
rangement, and never used before
in any city, must be seen Satur-
day at Morris Sound Quality Shoe
Store, the beginning of the thirty
days gigantic $4,000 bargain
shoe sale, to be thoroughly ap-
preciated by the frugal shopper.
With the determination to place
the whole stock in plain sight,
the management of the store uses
racks along the side walls instead
of the usual box shelving, and in
addition the bargain tables cover
500 square feet of floor space.
Mr.. Morris claims, while the
feature of arrangement is novel,
the real feature of the store is the
blow to, the high cost of living
by the shoe buying route, which
will leave more money to buy
ham and pie for the Riddles,
