CHIEF DECLINES
TO
Beavers Thinks Man Can Be Only
Wondering Spectator of Ever-
Changing Feminine Styles.
'The question of woman's dress Is
a delicate subject. I can’t say what
I would do to prevent Indecorous and
Immodest farb until my attention Is
called to such a case..**
This was the manner In which
Chief Reavers avoided cornmlttlnK
himself Friday In respect to the pol
icy in several other cities which has
resulted In the arrest and fining of
women who have appeared on the
streets In frowns too daring.
The Chief would talk about wom
an’s dress In a freneral way, yes; but
when 1t came to setting the line be
tween modesty and Immodesty or to
divulging what he would do If the
limit were overstepped, he wan silent
Chief Beavers Is a Arm believer In
the theory that the history of wom
an’s dress forms a cycle that re
volves every hundred years or so. He
would not be surprised If, In due time,
the fair sex reverted to the hoop
skirt with Its picturesque accessories.
Neither would It astound him to see
the Roman style of dress in vogue
again.
Man can do nothing except In the
role of an Innocent and wondering
spectator. His attitude, the Chief
thinks, must be strictly neutral. If
the fad for X-ray garments and such
like begins to hark back to the days
in the Garden of Eden, then It be
comes a matter for official comment
for the protection of the community’s
morals, but the Chief does not think
the styles have developed—or revert
ed—to this extent.
Judge Doesn’t Think
X-ray Dress Immoral.
KANSAS CITY. Sept. 5.—“There is
nothing Immoral In the slit skirt and
X-ray gown, or any other present
form of women’s attire,” declared
Judge Ralph l^atshaw. of the Crlmi-

opinion by persons furthering a cam
paign against extreme styles In dress.

accumulation of work. The Gov

Mrs. Paxon returned to Atlanta

The Governors' Conference, the
Governor declared, was a huge suc

tended to the various executives of

reception was. the Governor added, it
was not up to the standard set by the
old-time Southerners.
The most enjoyable part of the trip,
according to the Governor, was the
three days’ stay at Governor Carey’s
ranch near Cheyenne. Here the Gov
ernor and members of the party cast
aside completely the cares of State.
