If YOU LOVE
SCANDAL DON'T
READ THIS ITEM

Atlanta, March 26.-If you love
scandal don't read this. An Atlanta
society bud who attended the "Follies"
last night was talking in Mortified
whispers to a companion at tango
tea.
Would you believe it, in one of the
acts those girls came out before the
fcotlights with nothing on but their
shoes and stockings and muffs!"
1t sounded perfectly awful and she
was surrounded by bevy of folks
who hadn't been there. Stories like
that soon spread, and presently to the
great scandal of Atlanta's morals, the
report was being spread broadcast. AS
the story went, it lost the muff, which
made it sound still worse.
The funny part of the story is that it
is true-but not in the least bit scan
dalous. The muffs were enormous big
fluffy things and the chorus girls had
half their bodies inside instead of
merely their hands. The costumes
were daring enough, but not in the
least immoral.

SENATOR WEST
MAKES DEBUT

Atlanta, March 26-In his maiden
speech in the United States senate,
brief and to the point, Senator w. 5.
West of Georgia has promised to the
producers of the West that the South
will stand by them in their fight
against market manipulations, if the
Western people will back up the South
in the South's fight agains manipula
ton of the cotton market.
Senator West spoke in response to
remarks made by Senator McCumber
who remarked that the efforts of the
Southern senators to stop cotton man
ipulation reminded him of his bill foc
government grain inspection, and 9TH
er measures calculated to protect the
Western farming interests.
1t was then that Senator West arose
to speak for the first time since he has
been in Washington, to stress the facts
that in this fight the interests of all
agricultural sections are somewhat
identical and that the fight ought to be
a concerted one.
Senator West is expected in Atlanta
Saturday, to spend the weekend il
Georgia. He has not as yet given any
intimation of what his political plans
for the future will be.

STRAW LID MAKES
ITS APPEARANCE

Atlanta, Ga, March 26.-The first
mems straw hat OF the season bios
somed out prematurely on Peachtree
street yesterday afternoon-and prom
pity got rained on.
The sun was shining when the wear
er emerged timidly from clothing
store, and began his promenade, fo,-
lowed by the derisive chances of the
'newsboys and shouts of Pipe de new
lid!'
Beneath the straw hat was the SER
enc face of an elderly gentleman,
framed in white hair. He strolled
along obviously to comment when
shortly the sky became overcast and Z
downpour began. Whereupon he stuck
the hat under his coat and lodged for
shelter.
The first of April is usually the time
when the first straws begin to appear
here, and the wearing does not become
general until about the middle of the
month.
