Ladies and Gentlemen:
. I asked a friend the other day what hig daughter was going to do
this fall, and he said she was going back to Normal. You don’t know
how glad I was to hear it—so few of them are, nowadays.
I don’t want to make any of the lady customers mad, But some of
the girls have certainly been wandering off the reservation these last
few years—God bless ’em. .
The peek-a-boo shirt waist was the opening wedge, and it was rapid
ly followed by the X-ray skirt and the one-piece bathing suit, and the
riding habit unaccompanied by the habit of riding.
As a result production in this country fell off 40 to 60 per cent. A
man can’t turn out much work when he can’t keep his mind on it.
There.is something the matter with business. Some people think it
is one thing and some think it is another, and most of us think it is
both. Economists think it is because everybody owes everybody so
much that nobody pays anybody.
Some folks think it is because we have prohibition and some because
we haven't. Others think it is due to the losses of the war and still oth
ers that it is due to the profits.
I think it is due to, the ladies to say that they are not necessarily to
blame for it.
Women do not dress the way, they do to attract the attention of the
men, but the envy of the other women.
A man never notices what a woman has on; what he notices is what
she leaves off. So I am glad the girls are going back to normal. Then
maybe business will.
There is nothing the matter with the girls—they are just as good as
ever—so is our stock of plumbing material, and our repair work.
Yours for normalcy,
T. WOOD & COMPANY

DOCTORS GIVE THIS COUNTY
CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH
CONCERNING DISEASE.
A News reporter has interviewed a
number of the physicians of Dawson
and the county in regard to pellagra,
and it is the concensus of opinion
that there are few if any cases in all
this section. If all counties of Geor
gia can show as clean a bill of health
as to this particular disease as Terrell
county it will be proof positive that
the reports sent broadcast have been
greatly exaggerated. Terrell county is
abundantly able to take care of any
of her afflicted citizens, and in this
connection it is well to state that if
there is a hungry person in all our
borders the charitably inclined people
would be glad to have it reported.
With food stuffs in such abundance
it would be a shame for such a rich
county as ours to accept outside help.
Each community should make a
careful survey so that any case of
need may be promptly relieved. The
following interesting facts about pel
lagra are from the highest medical
authority:
’ " Causes of Pellagra.
~ “There seems to be an impression
that the presence of corn bread in the
diet causes pellagra. This is a mistak
en idea, although for a time it was be
lieved to be true. Pellagra is not a
communicable disease; it is neither
contracted from bacteria or food nor
from contact with persons suffering
‘with the disease.
“Pellagra is due to a diet deficient
in nitrogenous elements which are
found in milk, eggs, cheese, lean meat
of all kinds, nuts and dried peas. An
absence of these foods from the diet
and the presence only of starches,
sugar and fats is believed to cause the
disease. Dr. Goldberger, of Mississippi,
produced the disease amtong convicts,
who volunteered to have him experi
ment with them, by feeding them ex
clusively bread, molasses, grits, rice
and fat, hog meat. He then cured them
by feeding them a well-balanced diet.”
Is Here to Begn
Work on the Highway
Mr. Gardiner, the Contractor, Is Mov
ing Equipment to Dawson.
If nothing unforeseen occurs the
work of constructing the Terrell coun
ty link of the Dawson-Cuthbert high
way will be begun in the next few
days.
Mr. M. H. Gardiner, of Columbus,
to whom the contract was let, was in
the city Saturday and stated that he
was then moving 40 mules and other
equipment to Dawson.
The highway will be of sand-clay
construction, and will be about nine
miles in length. It will cost approxi
mately $40,000, of which half will be
paid by the county and the remainder
by the state highway department from
the federal government public road
fund.
DAWSON WCMAN’S CLUB
DISAPPROVES JAZZ MUSIC
Are in Accord With National Music
Chairrnan’s Opinion.
Mrs. Mary E. Oberndoffer, national
imusic chairman of the General Fed
jeration of Woman’s Clubs, has writ
iten a strong article on a timely sub
lject which has the endorsement of the
lDawson Woman’s Club.
After pointing out the evils created
'by jazz Mrs. Oberndorfer concludes
!with a plea for good music because
iof the help and inspiration it can and
iwill give. She says: “The music de
.partment of the General Federation of
| Music Clnbs has taken for its motto:
‘To make good music popular and
ipopular music good!”” The article
rshows how the women of America can
thelp the club women carry out this
imotto in every home firmly, steadfast
-Iy, determinedly, until all the music in
jour land becomes an influence for good.

THE DAWSON NEWS
SHORT CIRCULAR SKIRTS TO
. FEATURE FALL STYLES DE
~ CREE OF PARIS MODISTES.
‘ e
\ PARIS.—Short circular skirts, wide
flappy sleeves, no corsets under tight
1y draped bodices and simplicity in
decorations; will feature autumn and
winter fashions, according to the first
private showing of the leading Paris
dressmakers, including Callot, Doucet,
Paquin, Cheruit, Patou and Poiret.
Balkan Russian blending into an
Asiatic motive form the inspiration for
tailored suits, and evening gowns with
a Spanish note are predominated in
cloaks, wraps and fur coats. Gold
trimmings are largely tabooed, but sil
ver is largely used and highly orna
‘mental belts of cut steel, jade, semi
precious stones and silver chain effects
accompany every costume.
Evening gowns are high cut in
front and low cut, sometimes actually
to the waistline, in the back.
Americans invited to the premier
showing were rather disappointed be
}cause all the mannequins were bru
nettes and therefore all the gowns were
‘dgsxgned for dark haired and dark-eyed
girls. ey gy
Fe Mannequins Scarce. .
- “There has been a famine in manne
‘quins since the Americans left Paris,”
explained Jean Patou. “American offi
cers captured many of our best manne
quins. Some of them have gone to the
United States, while others got a taste
of night life during the war when the
dressmaking business was dull and
went out with American officers, never
returning to our shops. Others went
on the stage and into the movies. Blond
mannequins are almost impossible to
find. We searched London, but were
not able to find satisfactory girls. Al
though the average mannequin is paid
1,500 francs monthly we are willing
to pay 4,000 francs for tall, beautiful
blonds.”
Bulgarian effects—bright red, green
or orange on dark blue cloth—are ac
companied by big, heavy ornamental
chains and belts and chin high collars,
with cuffs and collars trimmed with
astrakan.
Afternoon coats follow the Russian
mode, some being long olive green
voluminous coats with jaunty Persian
lamb turbans, resembling Gen. Wran
gel as seen in photographs.
Slit skirts, daringly cut away at the
armhole, with deep slotted pearl ef
fects in front and along the sides,
sometimes below the waist line, mark
the most exaggerated evening gowns.
The Victoria style or oval decollette,
giving the effect of continually slip
ping off the shoulders, is a marked
feature of the afternoon tea gowns, the
designers insisting it is perfectly safe
to dance in them.
All Gowns Have a Name.
Every gown has a name and ghe
fanciful titles might serve as names
for new cocktails, for instance—Good
News, Ginette, Sweep Surprise, Joy
of Living, Black Lily and Opium
Dream.
The opium dream evening gown is
made of a brocade with jumbled fig
ures like a wild nightmare.
The aphrodite gown did not live up
to expectations, but it might shock
Americans by the generous display of
cuticle which it permits.
The mannequins have their finger
nails stained a deep rose color, their
cheeks tinted with yellow powder and
most of them have their hair slicked
straight back, Spanish style, and
knotted behind. American pointed slip
pers are worn universally, golden
chains being displayed on the ankles.
The mannequins are all the last word
in supercilliousness, and still sway
when walking, the stomach being
{)hrust out and the arms carried akim
o.
Mauve is banished and reds, blues
and greens, although suposedly un
lucky, are the popular coldrs.
