their sentences with true Spartan for

' WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Officials
at the German Embassy Intimated
this afternoon that Germany may not
act on the request of this Govern
ment that Captains Boy-Ed and Von
Papen be recalled until the United
States obtains the promise of the Al.

come through to this country to take
their places. It was stated that in
any event it is highly improbable that

made certain that Captain Boy-Ed
will be granted a safe conduct back to
Germany.
Dismissal of Boy-Ed, German naval,
and Captain von Papen, German mil
itary, attaches of the German Embas
sy here, was admitted to-day to be
slmply the first step in the Govern

He Refused to Run.
NEWNAN, Dec. 4—When. H. C.
Arnall, Jr., assumes the office of May -
or of Newnan, to which he was form
ally elected to-day, he will be the
youngest man ever to hold this office.
and probably will be the youngest
Mayor of any éity the size of Newnan
in the State. And the folks here just
made hen the next Mayor, despite his
desires. Mr. Arnall was not a candi
date, and refused to permit his name
to be used in that connection, but
two or three dayg before the primary,
a week ago, his friends put him up,
mmyway. And when this wasg done
two candidates already in the race
withdrew in his tavor, and the nomi
nation was made unanimous.
Mayor-elect Arnall already has
served {wo terms as an Alderman,
and is thoroughly familiar with the
city’'s affairs. In managing the city
he will be assisted by the following
Board of Aldermen: T. M. Goodrum,
W. J. Murphey, J. T. W iliams and C.
B. Glover. The new Board of Educa
tion will be composed of R. . Atkin
son, T. B. Davis, I.»N Orr, Sr., and
Frank Wilkinson.
Mayor-elect Arnall is vice president
of the H. C. Arnall Merchandise CCom
pany, one of the leading institutions
of its kind in West Georgia. He is a
splendid type of the more progressive
lvoung business man in politics and
civic affairs.

New York Magistrate Fixes the
' ' '
Height Limit at Which Dresses
‘ May Be Worn.
} By RUTH M. BYERS.
' NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—" A woman
may wear her skirts up to her knees.
\That fs her own affalr. Higher than
that—well, that is a matter for tho
jla‘w."
This gem of legal wisdom was!
handed down by Magistrate Koenig.
Not that he spoke officially., He read
ily admitted it was a question of!
ethies, this disturbing problem of how !
long a woman's skirts should be. But |
he did add with true masculine per
spleacity: ‘
“I conslder the knee the highest:
limit of ‘proper exposure.’ The fns!\-‘
ionable skirt limlt {s nine inches from
the ground, I suppose. You see, 1 aml
keeping well within the law.” i
Then I told the magistrate that!
Dame Fashlon nowadays was wink
ing in gay unconcern at the .twelve
inch limit. Yea, even fourteen, if one
were young and pretty enough. Trim,
high Russian boots of stunning black |
patent leather, and even white leathar, :
finish off the daring up-to-date co:;-;
tume. |
When Police May Interfere. l
The judge smiled as he listened. '
“That is entirely out of my jurisdic- |
tion,” he declared. “Any woman may i
dress as she pleases, provided she |
does not attract undue attention. But |
If her costume causes a curjous crowd |
to collect in admiring excitement
then tne police must interfere. Much
depends on the ‘intent’ That's more
a legal than a dressmaking term. |
l “Don’t disturb the peace,” the mag- |
istrate spoke quite Judicially, “and‘!
}yuu can wear anything you plr-.um:
‘hflt.fl of women disturb murullnei
peace of mind as well as femlnlne!
ien\'y by their clothes. But certainly |
| the law has no right to interfere. |
| “Last June,” the judge continued, |
“a woman came to me. She wanted a |
young woman arrested. The latter!
wore her skirts too short, the vo.'n-i
plainant said. Her husband had no-%
ticed it, and—well, the wife wanted a
court reprimand for the girl and un!
injunction for her future dressmaking {
designs.” i
Judge Koenig has a sense of h'l-i
mor. His answer to the woman was!
characteristic and to the point. [
“I told her,” he said, “the courts |
and dressmakers should try to work |
in harmony, and that the exposure of
a woman's leg from the knee down |
was of no Interest to the bar.” {
How the Trouble Started. !

The policemen who arrested them al
mitted that. But they were only men
out for a pleasant evening, so a com
plaint of disorderly conduct was
charged against them. They paid a
$3 fine and were hastily dismissed
“All this Is very interesting, though,
the magistrate declared in discussing
the case. "“There is a certain moral
ity for every community in the k'nd
of clothes wemen wear. Women have |
