we can at least be thankful for the Teddy

1t is getting to be fad nova
days to preach against the

reproachful murmur that our
girls are not. as modest as they
were in the old days." while the
radicals come out into the open
and tell them where they are 60
ing if they don't mend their
ways. There is no denying that
what S termed false modesty"
has been supplanted by a frank
ness between the sexes which,
compared with conditions in the
days of our grandmothers,
might shock those reactionaries
who have failed to keep pace
with modern thought. However,
"the world do move" and un-
less we keep step with the gener-
al progression, we become either
inert obstacles in the path of adj

MEN OUSTED

Another chapter was written
in tn e Georgetown councilmanic
drama" when two of the "dry"
members, ]. w. Thacker and Le-
onard J. Hambrick were ousted
from the board at a meeting last
week.
The former was accused Of
selling the city $2.Io worth of
groceries since holding office and
the later of renting to the city a
sprinkling wagon, by which the
streets have been oiled. Thack-
ed made no defense, and Ham
brick defended his own case,
pleading mot guilty"
Thacker had brought charges
of contracting with the city
against three of the "wet" coun-
cilmen, Lewis Sublett, James
Ftuke and James Dunn, and a
vote upon their expulsion has
ben held up, pending the decis-
ion of the Court of Appeals, John
S. Gaines was appointed in
Thacker's place to fill his unex-
pired term. Hambrick's success
or has not been named.
On account of the differences
between the two factions in the
council, the pay roll for June has
been held up. On a prior charge
for contempt of court, each of
the four "dry" councilmen were
fined So by Mayor Stone, and
$40 was assessed against Mr..
Hanbrick because of the alleg-

made before the council after the
