The election of Hubert L. Culberson
as county treasurer In Wednesday's
primaries has precipitated other hot
tllltles. A special election will have to
be held between now ami the first of
the year to fill the vacancy when Col,
Culberson's term as chairman of the
Fulton county board of commissioners
of roads and revenue expires on De
cember 81.
For this plum three candidates are
already in sight. The friends of Er
nest C. Kontx are urging him to make
the race. He said Thursday morning
that he was considering the matter
nnd would In all probability enter the
lists If he could spare the time from
his law practice.
Another prospective candidate Is Dr.
George V. Pierce, former alderman
from the Fifth ward, who says he will
run If no one else from his section of
the city tries for the place. He says
he thinks that consluerfng the fact
that the Fifth ward has not been rep
resented on the board for many years
a candidate from that part of the city
should be able fo win.
Tom Poole, of Lakewood, will also
announce, It Is said.
Though these are the only three who
have Intimated that they are "In a re

will probably bring othera Into the

To complete the building In first-

When congress has disposed of tbe beef
scsndnls It may 1h» called upon to consider
the peek-a-boo wnlat.
Rev. Father George 51. A. Schoerncr, of
Rochester, Pa., who Interrupted his ser
mon nt Cecilia's Roman Catholic church
last Sunday to order two women In peek-a-
boo waists from the building, has created
a precedent. He told his parishioners to
go home and tnlre off those ^bathing suits."
Adding, "This Is a church, nbt a bathing
house."
The attention nf the parity organization*
Is thus pointedly directed to a threatening
evil, snd legislation may presently be de
manded to prescribe the numlier snd size
of the holes In the "lingerie" waists, which
shall ndmlt the breeze* nnd Incidentally
afford tantalizing views of the shoulders
of the wearer.
Since the line and cry over open-work
hosiery, which liegnn with the merest pin-
^ Icks nnd has now «*nuio to n finish no
leker than a face veil, the matter of oar
national modesty has hod some fearful
shocks In woman’s wear. Mere man might
have worn open-work sock* nml peck-A-t>oo

would have credited him with more than
an Ingenious desire to keep cool. Hut the
vision of pink plumpness through these
hlde-nnd seek arrangements which meet
rou on all type* of the female form divine
Is “a horse of s different color."
Had Father Hchocrner t»een conversant
with present-day fashions he would have
realized that, as a mutter of fact, he waa
•naflng nn undeserved naperalon on the
liathlng suit In comparing It with the peek-
t-boo. The bathing dress of today Is In
