MAIL FOR MEN lit
MVY SHOULD HAVE
PROPER ADDREbS
WASHINGTON, D. C., August 14.—J
Hundreds of letters addressed to men'
on board ships of the United States
navy go astray, for lack of proper in
formation on the part of senders on 1
the right way to address them.
All mail to bluejackets at sea should
be addressed, first of all, in a legible'
handwriting; next of importance is to
know positively on which ship the
man is, or was, stationed, says an offi
cial announcement. A letter to John*
Avery Smith on board the U. S. S. 1
Georgia, should be addressed as fol-:
lows:
John Avery Smith.
U. S. S. Georgia),
Care. Postmaster,
New York City, N. Y.
If a correspondent does not know to
which ship a man has been assigned?
write to the Bureau of Navigation,
Navy Department, Washington, giving
his name in full, home address, place
of enlistment and the branch of ser- 1
vice in which he enlisted. There are
five separate branches of service in 1
the navy, the regular navy; second,
the marine corps; third, the national
naval volunteers; fourth, the national
naval reserve force, and fifth, the na
val reserve flying corps.
When one is not certain that the
man sought has enlisted in the navy,
but would like to trace him. the fol
lowing letter addressed to the Bureau:
of Navigation wculd serve as a guide: I
"Bureau of Navigation,
"Navy Department,
■ Washington. D. C.
"Is there a man in the navy by the
name of John Avery Smith, age about
thirty-one years; height five feet eight
inches; weight about one hundred and
seventy pounds; brown hair, and blue
eyes; home address is Cumberland?
Maryland? If so, please notify
“Yours truly,
MRS. JOHN AVERY SMITH,"
“152 Franklin St., Boston, Mass.”
If men enlisting in the navy will fur-!
nish relatives and friends with the
following information, much time,
ry and patience will be saved. They.
should give their name in full, rating?
in which branch of service they have.
enlisted, place Os enlistment and if j
. c.ssible, to which ship they are as-j
signed. If these suggestions are fol-j
lowed, mail will reach its destination,
with little oss of time.
The address to all men on board
ships is “Cure Postmaster. N. Y.”

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDEft
lATLANTAA SECURES 412 MEN
OCT OF NET QUOTA OF "2
'
ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 14.—Atlanta's
I seven local boards have secured 442
I men out of the net quota of 882 which
the city is called upon to furnish, and
la second summons has been issued by
I each beard for men to present them-
I selves this week for physical examina
j tion. Acting on instructions from
’ Provost Marshal-General Crowder in
.Washington. the local boards will
' grant no exemptions or discharges un
less the registrant makes a perfectly
| bona fide claim. Married men who
married within the past few months
| will have small chance to secure dis
charges on the ground that their wives
are dependent upon them. Married
men whose wives have incomes suffici
, ent to support them cannot get by with
.claims for discharge.
Many inquiries have come to the
adjutant-general from local boards
’throughout the state, wanting to know
■i f a registrant can claim discharge on
the ground that he has a dependent
■ mother-in-law, or dependent nephews
’ and nieces, or a dependent daughter
-1 in-law, or other dependents not speci
fied in the regulations. In response
(to an inquiry sent to Washington, the
' adjutant-general has informed the
local boards that no dependents will
be recognized except those specified in
the regulations.
MUST SC ALE DOWN THE
GENERAL A PI’ROI’RIATION S
ATLANTA. Ga., Aug. 14.—The sen
;ate must scale down the general ap
propriation bill passed by the house,
1 and the house must accept the Senate’s
amendments, in order to avoid an extra
: session of the legislature.
! Governor Dorsey went before the ap-
■ propriation committee of the senate
I yesterday and made it plain that he
I cannot approve the bill as it came
1 frem the house to the senate, the sim
ple reason being that the bill carries
aj prepriations aggregating more than
$1,000,000 in excess of tht state’s total
revenues from all sources.
i The prevailing sentiment in the
j senate seems to be in favor of cutting
■ the common school appropriation from
|s4 ~000,000, where it was placed by the
• house, back to $3,000,000, which is the
appropriation recommended by the ap
propriation committee of the house;
and of cutting the appropriations for
the University and its branches back
I to the same apprpriations the ygot this
year.
This will be a victory for the com
’ mon schools, inasmuch as $3,000,Q00
( will be an increase of $300,000 over the
apprpriation of $2,700,000 for 1917, and
I will leave the university and its
branches with no additional funds.
EMORY HOSPITAL WANTS
HELP FOR EQUIPMENT
ATLANTA. Ga., Aug. 14.—The em
ory University Bass Hospital organiz
| cd in this city is the only one in Geor
gia and will be made up of doctors,
nurses and others who have enlisted
I all over the state. Instructions from
' Washington, just received, reveal the
1 fact that the government expects the
: hospital to provide itself with a num-
Iber of very important and expensive
sur ical instruments, and with dress-
I ings, and to do this the hospital is
> dependent entirely upon contributions
1 from the public.
| Women in other states have raised
the money to equip the base hospitals
of their respective states with every
i facility for saivng life, and the Emory
j University Base Hospital has issued
lan appeal to the women of Georgia to
aid in raisin; funds and surgical dress-
I ings. The latter should be prepared
(according to Red Cross regulations.
I All funds, dressings and other con
tributions should be sent direct to the
•head of the hospital, Dr. E. C. Davis,
25-27 East Lindley street. Atlanta.
AGE OF < (INSENT LAAV
BEFORE DORSEY FOR APPROVAL
ATLANTA. Ga., August 14.—At last
I the stain of the 10-year age of consent
has been removed from the escutcheon
lof the state of Georgia by the pas
sage of a bill which raises the age
I to 1.4 years, which is the age at which
a female is allowed by law to contract
marriage in Georgia.
Late yesterday afternoon the house
lof representatives passed the White-
I Denny age of consent bill, which had
| been previously passed by the senate,
i and the measure will now go to the
governor for his approval.
For years there has been an agita-
■ tion by women's clubs and other or
ganizations, bj ministers and teach
ers, and by newspapers and others in
terested in the state’s welfare, for
raising the age of consent.

WOMING TO FORM AUTO-
MOBILE GLUBINTHISCDUNTY
(Continued from Page One.)
-an important one. In the first place
1 make highway sign-posting effective
the system must be extended over an
area which is in itself naturally com
plete. If any organization should be
formed for this city alone looking for
better laws and co-operation in any
one line, and was supported exclusive
ly by the automobile owners of this
city and county, the motorists living
in the neighboring counties and cit
ies would have reaped the benefits o»
the club sign-posting work legislation,
and road building without contributing'
a cent to its support.
In our case if each county and
city had not formed its own club, it'
would have been terrible to contem-j
plate the hodge-podge of road signs,:
legislative quarrels, and hit or miss
rt ad building. Therefore it is most
effective and essential that we have
sveh an organization in this county.
It is felt that it will bring the peo
ple together and create a more de
sirable understanding as to our pres
ent needs of highways. The sign-post
ing system is handler entirely from
headquarters with the exception of the
placing of temporary route signs where
highways are temporarily closed on
account of repairs or road construc
tion.
The benefits to derived* from an '
automobile club in Sumter county are
many. The work of the state organiza
tion is bound to benefit every resident
in this vicinity.
In addition to all the indrect bene
fits the members of this association
wll obtain when the local club is or- j
ganized are distinctive radiator em
blems for each member, which are rec
ognized on the road by every motorist,
copies of the official touring guide of
Georgia, and the benefits of the sev
eral bureaus which the association has
organized, and which will be conducted
in connection with the local club, viz.:
The touring bureau for the up-to-date
information anywhere in the United
States.
The protective bureau fr the recov
ery of stolen cars and parts.
The membership card carries with it'
a surety bond in case our members!
should be arrested in any pabt of the
United States for violation of city or
25 to 33 1-3 Per Ct.

The highway department of Georgia
welcomes our help. The chairman,
Jtdge T. E. Patterson, has taken
great part in the state association, and
i;-: landing a great amount of help to
tl.e cause, and to build roads—and that
we must do —it is up to the automobile
owners and dealers, and citizens inter
ested in the welfare of our state, to
contribute their mite and influence to
remedy the unsatisfactory road condi
tions in the state of Georgia.
This nucleus as it has been created
constitutes a local organization co-op
erating with the national organization
—the American Automobile associa
tion. Therefore, it makes it very effi
cient and a plan that will accomplish
a great good for our state.
The legal departments of the state
association are now exercising their
broadest duties to investigate and keep
in touch with all proposed legislation,
whether state, county or municipal,
pertaining to the use of motor vehi
cles, highway construction and main
tenance, and to oppose or support the
same as may appear to the best inter
est of the general public.
The state association hopes to have
TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1917
by the end of 1918 a membership of
at least 15,000 in Georgia, with every
city in the state represented with its
various committees working through
out the entire state, and the officers of
the various clubs brought together
once each year. This is going to bring
about a need that has long been felt.
