All of which proves, once again, to a world which doesn't need the proof, That the United States, unlike all Gaul, 1s divided into TWO parte— One part being Georgia; the other part the rest of the country, But really, the Southern Senator must be amazed at his own moder- ation; If shoulders are tmmoral objects, isn't a collar-bone a crime? Why did not the Senator try to protect this constitutents Against the insidious fleshly lure of elbows, wrists and knuckles, The nape of the neck, the chin, the ears, the nose? Mohammedans are so much more censistent in these matters. If a bathing dress should cover the knee, Why shouldn't it hide the tibia?
