A RAY OF HOPE.
Tlectrically-heated clothing has
been invented for the purpose of
keeping aviators war mat great alti
tudes.—News Item.
Come, noble electrictian,
And come, my tailor true;
Make me a suit of clothes to wear
When winter chills me through.
Electrify the trousers,
Electrify the vest,
Electrify the coat and shirt,
And likewise all the rest.
Although (Fm not an airman,
I’ll need such clothes, I fear,
If coal-less Mondays come again
When autumn skies graw drear.
So have my garments heated
To sixty-eight degrees;
And then, despite what (Garfield does.
I’ll never have to freeze.

THE ATLANTIAN
17
NATIONAL GUARD.
Didn’t know much, but knew some
thing, .
Learned while the other man
played.
Didn’t delay for commissions;
Went while the other men stayed.
Took no degrees up at Plattsburg.
Needed too soon for the game,
Ready at hand to be asked for,
Orders said: “Cornel”—And they
came.
Didn’t get bars on their shoulders,
Or three months to see if they
could;
Didn’t get classed with the reg’lars
Or told they were equally good.
Just got a job and got busy,
Awkward they went, but intent,
Filing no claim for exemption,
Orders said: “Go 1”—And they
went.
A NEW ONE.
Agftateed ILady—Hurry, guard!
There’s a man in the water with a
paralyt'c stroke!
Life Guard—Dat’s a new one on me,
lady. Does you mean de overhead
or de crawl?—Jester.
Didn’t get farewell processions.
Didn’t get newspaper praise,
Didn’t escape the injunction
To mend, in extenso, thtir ways.
Work-bench and counter and roll
top,
Dug in and minding their chance.
Orders said: “First line of trenches!”
They’re holding them—somewhere
in France.

Henry L. Collier
Offers Himself for Re-election to the
High Office of
Chief of Construction
Primary July 10, 1918
Mr. Collier has lived in Atlanta all his life; few
have lived here longer.
From 1900 to 1911 he served the city as Com
missioner of Public Works, and from January, 1917,
to the present time he served as Chief of Construc
tion. Both of these places he filled and is filling
with credit to himself and benefit to his fellow citi
zens. An extract from the records of the depart
ment would show at a glance his executive and
engineering ability.
For the year 1915 the office pay rolls of the
Chief of Construction Department amounted to
$42,432.28... For the year 1916 the office pay rolls
amounted to $44,620.00. The total for the two
years, therefore, was $87,052.28, the total for the
preceding administration.
For the year 1917, Mr. Collier’s first year, the
office pay rolls amounted to $25,586.97. For the
year 1918 the office pay rolls will amount to $26,-
390.00. This leaves, comparing the two totals, a
saving to the city in the two years on the office pay
rolls alone of $35,075.31.
He has a well organized force, men who have
proven themselves sober, energetic, and efficient.
Why lose by disorganizing this force for the next
six months and lose another six months in 1919 in
organizing a new force?
