JOHN BURROUGHS IS GOING ID EGYPT Naturalist Will Celebrate Seventy-FOurth Birth
 day Friday

Atlanta, March 31.-John Burroughs, the naturalist. who was here today en route to West Park, N. Y, from Fort Myers, Fla. announced that he was planning to make a visit to Egypt and perhaps some of the European coun- tries. Incidentally he said that he would be V years old Friday. Asked as to how he proposed to celebrate the event, he said:
 Well, I think I'll eat three square meals and walk five miles. It's because I've been doing that all my life that I'm able to celebrate 77th birthday anni- versary."
 Thomas A Edison, the inventor, has been with the naturalist at Fort Myers for sometime and the two have made several trips together in south Florida

Recently a mock session of the leg islature was held in Birmingham The officers from the speaker to the pages, were women, as were the members from the several counties. The pro- ceedings were held according to I "Hoyle" and had all the features of regular assembly. Many bills were presented and discussed, some in a se- rious vein. others of a humorous na- ture. Among the latter was a bill to regulate that portion of mems wearing apparel that some women desire to wear and that some do wear theo- retically. It was cleverly drawn up and the discussion of its merits and de- merits caused much laughter.
 As was stated, this bill was presented by woman at a make-believe session of a lawmaking body, yet 1t Is a mat ter of record that at actual sessions of the legislatures of the several states bills have been introduced in all se- riousness by men, having for their pur- port the regulation of woman's dress, that were far more ridiculous and. ab- surd than that presented at the mock session. Among them might be men, toned "a bill to regulate the dimen- sions of bustles" and one to define the length and breadth of slit skirts" There are others even more absurd
 While it is true that the greatest designers of womens gowns are men, yet 1t is also true that the average man knows as much about womans S ap- parel as tom cat does about the faVCantinO nf The moment a new style appears that is departure from his limited con- ception of really pretty dress, he comes out strong "agin it" and the first thing that occurs to him is to in- yoke the law. If the legislature is in session some alfalfa visaged individual whose wife's holiday attire is a ging- ham dress and sunbonnet is sure to introduce a bill ito prohibit the wear ing of the new style in public" no matter how artistic or pretty it may be-
 For instance, look at the halloobaloo that was made when the slit skirt made it's appearance. The Anthony Comstocks were not only up in the air but up in arms as well. The mighty arm of the law was invoked and the dainty wearer of the slit skirt was threatened with arrest and the re- sultant dire pains and penalties But despite the fearsome threat of the po- lice the women continued to wear the slashed skirt, possibly because she found 1t more convenient to embark on the street car than when the skirt was "hobbled" without the slit and to- day the woman whose skirt is not slashed Is the exception, so we sup pose it will soon be, If not already, len passe."
