"It’s not ilie motor speeders and the —hey. get back there—ambulances that bother—say, I told you to cross over before you turned —us on the street corners,” said Traffic Cop E. C. Thorn ton. trying to look five ways at Five Points, shoo a trio of women off the crossing and persuade a negro dray man to pull his mule’s head out of a produce wagon just ahead. "It's the hobble skirts and the wide hats as much as anything else." Now, interviewing a traffic cop on a corner lik? Five Points is worse than getting an opinion on politics from a man who has just turned over a bee hive. But Officer Thornton did his best Eliminating the parenthetical remarks addressed to bojts on hikes, chauffeurs in touring ears and pedes trians in all kinds of shoe leather, from cowhide to patent, he quoth as follows: "The bobble skirt worries us because it slows up the procession When a woman starts across Edgewood avenue taking eight steps to the yard it’s: naturally some hard for the man be hind to slow up in time to avoid tread ing on her heels, and that usually starts something.

I’ve seen two or three women walk half a block, all stretched out across the sidewalk, with eight men behind them dodging from curb to wall and back again, trying to get by the blockade. Hut the big hats don’t draw a crowd of johnnies to the corner, which Is more than you can say of tight skirts and silk stockings. Look at the row of rubber-necks there now, "It isn't the speeders. No! It’s the slov.-goers that bother the traffic cop. A couple of women in an electric auto with the juice almost gone puts the procession twenty minutes late, and when they stop to tell a passing friend what they wore*to the party last night it puts all Peachtree on (he blink.
