JULY FOURTH WAS
.HON0RE:D IN THIS
CITY ON TUESDAY

All over this glorious land of ours
cid glory was unfurled to the breeze
on yesterday.
Countless millions paid honor to
the grand old stars and stripes. The
deed of our forefathers were COM
memorated and celebrations was had
ot the day when the declaration was
declared that made this a free and
independent nation.
Preparedness parades were had
from the lakes to the gulf and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Large
crowds marched to martial music be-
meath the flag of the geratest nation
the world ever knew, thus honoring
old glory and rebuking those who
would sit supinely down and make
no preparation of defense against
those who would invade our land and
set at nought the principles of right,
freedom and justice. Patriotism was
rampant The spirit of liberty ana
lave of country prevailed everywhere.
young and old seemed to vie with each
other in zeal and enthusiasm of the
hour and the day

cities in the observance of the occa-
sion. She was in the forefront with
those of much larger numbers. cele-
brating the day fittingly and appropri-
ately. Early in the morning the
crowd began to arrive and soon her
streets were lined with throngs Of
people re " md anxious to do their
part in keeglng green in the memory
of our people that first fourth of July
when the declaration was signed.
The day was an ideal one and not
thing happened to mar er cast a
shadow over the occasion. Every ar
rangement had been made with care
and consideration, the details of which
were carried out to a letter, moyins
along like clock work The parade
vas formed as planned, presenting !.
beautiful and inspiring spectacle, one
that could not fail to impress all
with renwed feeling of patriotism
and love for our grand old u. S A.
Delegations from near by towns
and those from distance were here
to mingle and take part in the exercis-
es of the day ard to enjoy the hospi-
tality of our city. Every feature was
carried out save that of the fireworks
program which was disappointment
owing to the non-arriyal of the ship.
ment. This part of the program will
take place tonight at the ball park
as had been planned for last night.
Two games of ball were had, one in
the morning and the other in the at
ternoon. A goodly number of fans
were present at both games, and
while they did not come up to the pro-
fessional limit, they were enjoyed
nevertheless. A notice of the game
giving the score, etc, appears else
where in this paper.
The dance on Jackson street that
marked the colse of the days festiv-

lighted to trip the fantastic toe wehe

as merry as the proverbial marriage

ran riot. Large crowds lined the
street watching the happy COUPLES as
they kept step to the sweet

The fourth of July celebration in
Americus was one that will long be re-

SHORT SKIRTS AND
OTHER WEARER

ATLANTA, Ga, July 5.-A neat,
trim little lassie passed down Peach
tree street. She wore stylish short
skirt, walked with free joyous stride,
ard most everybody on the thorough
fare turned to take second look at
her. There was admiration in their
gaze-admiration of the wholesome
scrt, save from one sot,rce. A sour
faced woman just emerging from a
department store remarked:
THAT girl ought to be spanked for
wearing such short skirts! It's shock
ing!"
Sorry, very sorry, but the pedes
trians couldn't agree with the criti.
cism Of that woman-not conscien-
tiously.
OF all the beautiful things on earth,
in the humble judgment Of the reporr-
er who is writing this story, there is
nothing more beautiful than shapely
ankle and a graceful foot, properly
appareled- the writer, and moot
people, for that matter, are for any
thing in the way of style that displays
it.
The trouble with most of us" is
that we have a big bump of mock
modesty. The average person has
tried to make himself believe that
there is something about the human
form divine to expose which damns
one to eternal torment. Some folks
have striven to convince the world
that modesty is thing of clothes, anu
virtue a matter Of wearing apparel.
This plan was worked on the savages
made them believe they should cover
UP the body, in an effort to sell them
the covering.
1t is pretty generally known that IA
woman stands upon two feet, and that
the feet are fastened to a pair of
ankles. Nor is it modest, save to the
foolish, to wear such garments as ex-
pose the feet and ankles. Certainly ii
is more sanitary than to Esve sweep
ing skirts that gather up the germs
and innoculate a community with
harmful diseases.
The shoemakers have done their
part and the hose makers have help
ed. and those who set the styles have
shown beauty of limb which one
only guessed before. Gracefully pro-
portioned as the feet of fawns, shape
ly as the limbs of race horse, the
women of today should glory in her
own formation, and blush not to wear
the apparel as prescribed. Only the
depraved could find fault, and with
depravity all styles are an excuse for
criticism.

Odds Are 20 to 1 That
Tacoma Will Not Have

that Tacoma will lose moth

1t remains that this city
will lose practically all the
prestige she has held i'm the

take years for us to redeem
ourselves.
In the meantime, Tacoma

Now is the time, men and

Will "SweIIed Head" Make kauff
Wonder? Conceit Helped Others

Benny Kauff, the "Ty Cobb OF
the Feds" who will be with the
Giants this year, is being roasted
for his coneeit. He is even called
a "swell-head.
Conceit made Ty Cobb the
greatest of all ballplayers.
Conceit made Bat Nelson light
weight champion of the world.
Conceit made Frank Gotch
wrestling champion of the world.
And conceit put a lot of other
athletes higher than they would
have gotten without 1t.
Red Doom. former manager OF
the Phillies, once said: Give me
the coneeited ballplayer. The TEL
low who thinks he is the goods
will work his head off to make
everybody else think so. The
chap who does not have high
opinion of himself doesn't care
much what other people think
and il will show in his work.
When Ty Cobb broke into the
majors he was so "cocky' several
Detroit players tried to take MN
down a notch. They are In the
minors. Cobb is setting records.
Gotch had the idea he was the
greatest wrestler the game ever
produced. Some folk didn't think
so. He started out to show them.
He did.
Bat Nelson was always willing
to admit the president OF the
United States was a great man,
but playing second fiddle to Bat
Nelson. His egotism carried him
to the top. ,
Kauff was a bearcat in hitting
and base running in his two sea-
sons in the Federal league. He

There is, of course, little
chance Kauff will accomplish all
these things, but he is the KIND
of chap who will try them. u
people think he has a "swellod
head" he will try to make them
think he has reason to be.
The main difference between
Kauff and other athletes VINO
have been successful is that he ID

Romeo Hagen is with US once

Through the kindness of Taco

Handsome Baker was given his
freedom yesterday afternoon, and

Romeo followed the advice.
Within an hour after the steel
door of city Jail cell had creak-

had been released, he was on a

Rod Murphy will not be seen
on third this year but will be
used in the outfield. bod Brin-
ker, who will coach the Univer-
sity of Washington team, will
join the Beaver outfield later in
the season. Emil Frisk has been
made a free lance, but the old
war horse will find a job ready

Among the others whom
Brown has under reservation are

There is every reason to be-
