Skirts GOING UP OR COMING DOWN?
Miss Does Not Believe With Mrs. Edison That
Four Inches From Ground Constitutes Indecency.

I shocked by the lack of symmetry OF

lust as one might be struck with
the perfection of others. Ones sense
of beauty might be affected, but ones
sense of morals should not be.
If there we're anything indecent in
a short skirt then the Alsatlan peas
ants, the Tyrolean mountaAneers, the
Galician women-all would be class
ed among the indecent, whereas 1t is
commonly known they are the most
modest of peoples.
A very short skirt may assume the
proportions of the freakish, but it is

was responsible for the coming of the
pedestrian skirt, that modest gar
ment which stopped virtuously
enough at the ankle.
Horrors! The prudes all but faded
away at the advent of this. What
was the naughty world coming to?
The practicability of the pedestrian
skirt, however, impressed itself upon
few of the sane. In their enthusi-
asm they may have shortened it
slightly. Then the world became cal
Ioused to ankles, and skirts went up
to the shoe tops. Now it cannot be
denied they are vacillating midway
between this point and the knee. 1t
can no longer be said with the cpl
grammatist that morality covers a
multitude of shins.
Maybe the reformers have some
reason for their alarm. Perhaps they
believe that skirts, the least static
article in the feminine wardrobe,
will go up instead of coming down.
That would indeed be truly alarm
ing.

MUNITIONS TRADE

WASHINGTON. - American-made
war munitions now are pouring into
Europe at the rate of nearly $1,000
600 worth daily, with the hgure''
swelling rapidly as the production in

began shipments were negligible, and
not until the middle of 1915 did the
millions of dollars worth OF war ma
terials contracted for begin to move
in considerable quantities.
Estimates made at the department
of commerce put total munitions

chase for the present war close to

are going now the next four months

DOPE FIENDS IN
LINE FOR DRUGS
Worse Than HaIf-Starved People in
Bread Line They Present a
Most Pathetic Sight.


ATLANTA is beginning
to have a rather sad and tragic time
handling the several hundred dope
victims who have been deprived of
their morphine and cocaine by the
federal law.
The best these poor victims can
hope for is to gradually taper on,
since if they are left absolutely with
out the dope their craving makes
them raving maniacs and in some
instances results in death.
Those who can afford treatment
by private physicians are getting
along all right, as the physicians
have the right to administer what
ever of the drug is necessary.
But those who have no physician
have been reduced to applying to the
city physicians for free prescriptions,
so that it has come to the point that
every morning now a regular cooke
line forms before the city physl-
clans office at the city hall.
1t is infinitely more pathetic than
any bread line, and the faces more
pathetically eager. Most of the vic
Tins are between eighteen and thirty.
Among them are people who nave
come from every walk of life, bright
looking young men, pretty girls, or
girls who were once pretty, side by
side with detected down-and-outs.
They all come to beg from the city
physician the prescription for the tiny
bit of drug that will mean release
from torture for few days.

Raise Deer.

We have read so much about
the low cost OF raising deer on
brushy mountain sides that We
concluded to pass the thought
along to our readers. The NEWS
is willing at all times to discuss
possibilities for the better use of
the thousands of acres of land IL
the County that are now pracii-
cally value'ess. Sheep will meet
the conditions down il the valleys
where some protection may be
given; and on still rougher
grounds, Angora goats seem to
pay their way. But the fact has
been pretty well established that
when compared with sheep and
goats, as many deer 10 the acre
may be kept, and when a sale is
made, a deer sells for many times
the price of a sheep or goat.
There is a story of a man in the
Adirondack mountains in New
York who owns 100 acres of land
too rough to cultivate, and the
growth too scant to support many
cattle or sheep; but he keeps $50
common deer on the land, and he
thinks he can keep 500. He is
said to sell an average of two
deer a week. The meat sells for
q cents a pound, and the hide
and horns bring additional reve-
nue.; but the big money in rails
ing deer, pheasants, and other
game is in selling to the State for
restocking game preser yes.
Sl00 is a fair price for fine deer
for this purpose. Raising deer
on a commercial scale, or as a
side line on our farms, is just
like any other vocation; some
brains must be mixed with the
effort, and the idea that there is
something to be had for nothing
must be forgotten.
