BARE LEGS FASHIONABLE
OVER IN GAY PAREE

Paris, May 15.-'At the Long
champs racing the first Of the week,
which President Wilson and Colonel
House saw, the stockingless fad was
launched. 1t is believed that bare
legs will prove popular, with silk
stockings costing $40 pair and up,
and so diaphonous they scarcely last
day without tearing.
Recently actresses quit wearing
stockings at the theaters and lead
ing dressmakers sent mannequins tC
the race track stockingless. OWNS
to the thinness OF the fashionable
stocking, which is so sheer as almos
to be invisible, people had to lool
twice to make sure the wearer wa

COLONEL HOUSE ST|RS
MESS WITH ENGLISH

London, May l5.--lt was learned
today in official quarters that Frank
p. Walsh, Edward +. Dunno and Mi
chael +. Ryan. representatives OF
Irish societies In the United States
who have been visiting Ireland will
not be received by Premier Lloyd
George on their return to Paris nor
will they be accorded any official or
semi-offlcial recognition.
According to a Reuters dispatch
from Paris, Col. L. NJ House, who
had promised TO endeavor to arrange
an interview between the American
delegates and the British premier, In
view OF their activities in ireland,
decided not to act as an interme-
diary.
Mr.. Dunno and Mr.. Ryan reached
London last night, Mr.. Walsh remain
ed in Dublin and is expected here to-
night.
Mr.. Lloyd George has been sub
ject to most bitter attacks for his
alleged encouragement OF the dele
gates activities. Even serious
journal like the Spectator has gone
so far as to assert that dangerous
conspiracy" is afoot for committing
the premier and the British govern;
ment to virtual recognition Of the
Irish republic. Other newspapers
complain OF the fact that the dele
gates have fraternized with SIM
Fein\ leaders has given the Sim Feir
movement new life. The question
has. been asked what would b.
thought IL British delegation
should visit the United States on
mission OF like character.

A|RSH|PS EFFECTIVE
IN DESTROYING MINES

London, May 15.-Sweeping up
the thousands OF mines which strew
the seas in the neighborhood of the
British Isles has proved such a cost
ly and dangerous job when carried
on by the ordinary methods, that the
admiralty has turned to the airship
for relief. Experiments conducted
in the North Sea. it is announced,
have been successful, mines being
located. and exploded much quicker
than when the usual mine-sweeping
ship is used.
While the airship has the advant-
age of height in locating mines the
mere fact that an airship cannot hit
a mine adds so much to the element
of safety that 1t is expected that
much of the 5000 square mines OF
mine strewn waters which remain
Twill be cleared without loss OF life.

Carolina counties, but the infected re-
gion of Georgia is rapidly widening
nearer and nearer toward Augusta,
making it easy for the pest to invade
Carolina farms in large numbers at
some early cay. 1t is needless to
longer cling to the hope that this Sec
ton will not be invaded by boil wee
wills. They are coming, and the wise,
prudent farmer will begin, and begin
at once, to meet the situation square
ly.
Considering the acute labor situa-
ton, and the steadily diminishing
available supply, it will be impossible
to grow cotton profitably when the
yield is very materially reduced by
boil weevils. The high cost Of pro-
duction, the varying and often unfav-
orable climatic conditions, the dam
age by the weevil will make it impos-
sible for farmers in this section to
grow cotton at profit. So we would
do we'll to plan for diversifying on q
larger scale than has ever been prac.
ticed before.
The Augusta Chronicle had the fol.
lowing to say of the situation in Rich
mond county, the county just across
the Savannah from US, few days
ago:
Since its first appearance in Rich.
mond county, little more than two
weeks ago, the boil weevil has been
playing havoc with the cotton crop
and is now said to be present in large
numbers in four different sections Of
the county.
The first of the pests were found or
the Brandon place, at Edie, about 20
miles south of Augusta. Since ther
it has made appearance on the West.
brook place, near Mclean, the Rhodes
place, on the Washington road, and
in the neighborhood of Rennison's
school house, about IL miles from this
city.
The fact that the bell weevil has
struck Richmond county gives poor
prospects for next years cotton crop
Though no great amount of damage
will be done to this years crop, which
is now nearly ready to pick, the wee
vii is here and will begin its deadly
work early next season, it is said
County Agent Bright Mcconnell
stated yesterday that the boil weev
does not begin migrating until about
August 1, which accounts for the fac
that they were first found in Rich
mond county during the first few day:
of this month. They are supposedstt tt
have come from Jefferson or Burke
counties, both of which are near Edis
where the first boil weevils in thi:
county were found.

Cotton Pest Coming This Way.

Prior to the war with Germany,
scarcely day passed that one did not
read some warning in the papers of
the coming of the boil weevil, but as
war clouds began to overshadow ev-
erything else, one heard and read but
little of the weevil. Nevertheless the
pest was active and was either ad-
vancing or recruiting its ranks, max
ing ready to cross the Savannah in
great hordes. Boil weevils are now
only found in large numbers in sew
eral of the lower Savannah valley
