GEORGIAN WOMEN
NOTED FOR LOOKS

Transcaucasia and Have
Old Civilization
Washington, July 6.—"The news
that a political body in Transcauca

for the autonomy of this district of
Russia brings into the focus of world
Interest one of the most historic divi
sions of the great Slav empire," says
a war geography bulletin Issued by
the National eGographie Society.
'There are 'perhaps 1,350,000 Geo
gians in the Caucasion region, com
prising fully one-half the population.
They are the great aristocrats of the
country, and with every reason, for
their pride in ancestry. Some eth
nologists hold that they are a more
ancient race than the Egyptians,
while their own legends declare that
they are the descendants of Tharga

of Noah. Other traditions trace their
origin to the Egyptian soldiers of
Sesostrls. who are supposed to have
reached this region and intermarried
with the aborigines. Still another
legend says that some of the Cru
saders, becoming lost in the mountain
wilds, have left their imprint upoft
the handsome Georgians of to-day.

of their legs is hampered, giving a
peculiar, jerky character to their car
