I r t l I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS Inventor, on His First Vacation in Two Years, Sleeps Seven Hours First Night. LOWELL, MASS., Auk. 26.—Thom- as A. Edison, while passing through this city en route to the White Moun tains on his first vacation in two years, gave out an interview in which he branded women’s dress of the pres ent day as insane.

Mr. Edison showed he was on a real vacation by sleeping seven hours last night. He said: “The modern dances such as the ‘turkey trot,’ ‘tango,’ ‘bunny hug,’ etc., are only a temporary state of mind, from which the sensible American public soon will recover. “The peculiarities of dress and the weird dancing that have of late came upon the world may probably be call ed only a ‘craze.’ There seems to be periodic waves which go all over the world. They follow one another from time to time and no one can account for them. “The people of America and other advanced countries are far too in telligent to be swept altogether off their feet by this passing phase of insapity in dresses and dancing.” ‘Boll Weevil Wiggle’ Newest Dixie Dance MEMPHIS, Aug. 26.—Officers of Tunica County, Miss., have issued an order prohibiting young society folk from dancing a strange waltz.
