CHICAQO, Aug. 30.—Some thief
| who mav wish to be forehanded in
I event of a violent termination of his
| career stole a tombstone at night from
i i he show yard of the monument works
! of Joseph F. Gastat at No. 4806 North
Clark street.
It is a polished granite b'oek weigh*
1 ing 2,000 pounds and is not inscribed.
Tlie yard is in a lonely neighborhood
| and the thief was free to take his
i time at the task.
'1 have offered a reward of $50 for
I the arrest of the robber." said Mr.
j Cast, “and I am curious to know what
motive provoked the theft."
At the annual

11 ways one of the most admired
of the girls who appear.
With all these activities, she finds
time for some of the more serious
things of life. There Is no woman in
the patriotic societies of Georgia
inure active or more useful than Miss
R&mbo. She is a valued and beloved
friend of the Confederate veterans,
and always has a place of prominence
at their gatherings.
At tl'.elr reunions, where oratory is
as common a commodity as cqbbage
in a Broad street provision house, her
oratory Is always listened to with ea
ger and sincere interest.
All of which goes to show that Miss
Ratnbo has been and is a fairly busy
young woman.
“Then what field of activity could
be left her?” you ask, and expert si
lence for your answer.
What’s left? Why. business, of
course—the making of dollars, the
world of finance, to which every
American is supposed to he a slave.
Business Plunge an Accident.
Like everybody else in business,
Miss R&znbo is there to make dol
lars. but the dollars will not be used
by her on herself. That’s not like
Miss Rambo. When she entered busi
ness she was thinking of the old sol
diers she loves and the friends and
charities she cherishes.
Her business career is due to acci
dent, a sleepy switchman, railroad
rate regulation and Santa Claus,
which sounds like the preliminary
paragraph of an O. Henry* story, which
this is not.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—A curiou*
divorce complaint. naming “One
Fortunate Mann" was filed yesterday
in the Supreme Court by Attorney S.
Lawrence Miller, of No. 5 Nassau
street, in behalf of Emile Willoman
The complaint states that Willoman
married Angele Bardey in London,
England, on January 10, 1911. She
is alleged to have been guilty of
misconduct in January, 1913, dith the
“Fortunate Mann." Miller was not in
his office yesterday and his client
could not be located.
A petition signed by more than 200
Atlanta enthusiastic swimmers ask
ing that the lake at Piedmont Park be
kept open during September will be
presented to Dan Carey, park mana
ger. Monday morning. F. E. Weie-
brod, of No. 59 Ivy street, who start
ed the movement and is circulating
the petition asking that Atlantans be
given another month of bathing, said
Saturday night that the 200 names
were obtained in a few hours.
"Fully five times that many names
could be cepured if necessary," said
Mr. Weisbrod. “I think 200 will be
sutHcient to induce Mr. Carey to keep
the lake open."
The usual closing time for the
Piedmont Lake is September 1. and
Manager Carey has issued orders
prohibiting bathing there after to
morrow. The petition which will be
taken to his office Monday asks that
If It is found impossible to keep the
lake open during the entire month,
that it be kept open until September
15, at least.
Thin season has been the most suc
cessful the Piedmont Lake ever has
seen, and the prospect of being shut
oft from their favorite sport to-mor
row has been viewed with regret by
hundreds of Atlantans. The lake has
been crowded with bathers every day
and on Saturday afternoons and Sun
days the throngs overtax the capacity
of the locker rooms.

Cdm THIEF
JESUP, Aug. 30.—A petition ask
ing for the pardon of J. Dillard
Stringer will be presented to the Par
don Board on September 25 by Thom
as & Gibbs, Stringer’s attorneys.
The old father of the petitioner, C.
E. Stringei. is getting the grand ju
rors who indicted his son and other
court officials to sign the pardon pe
tition. it is reported that he has been
successful in this.
Last April a package of money con
taining $5,000, consigned to an Atlan
ta trust company by a Brunswick
bank, was opened and the money re
moved in transit. After an investi
gation, Dillard Stringer, a young ex
press messenger from Pine Park, in
Grady County, was accused and con-
fesed to the crime.
Friends of bird protection won a
victorv in the Senate when the feath
er provision in the tariff bill was re
ferred’ to the Finance Committee for
further consideration after that com
mittee had amended it to permit the
admission of feathers of all birds
killed as pests and feathers of game
birds. The provision originally barred
feathers of all wild birds, except os
trich feathers, and feathers of do
mestic poultry.
“Inasmuch as practically all birds
are killed as pests in some parts of
the world, due to ignorance of their
value, and as most birds are like
wise killed as game birds, somewhere
or other, by different races of men,
the passage of his amendment would
remove protection from all the birds
of the world which live beyond our
bounds, ’ declares James H. Rice. Jr.,
field agent of the Audubon Society.
“The Audubon Society seeks to
bring about such legislation in all civ
ilized countries As will prohibit the
use of feathers taken from any wild
bird as an article of commerce.
Insects’ Toll a Billion.
"The United States loses $1,000,-
000,000 yearly through harmful in
sects. Georgia $40,000,000, and birds
are the only check to the insects. It
requires 250,000 bushels of insects a
day to feed the birds of Georgia. In
sects are largely migratory. The boll
weevil came from Guatemala; the
cabbage butterfly from the Malay Ar
chipelago; the gypsy moth from Eu
rope.
"The destruction of bird life in any
part of the world will affect every
other part, because the insects, if
not checked, will multiply enormous
ly and must migrate for food
Kill 300,000,000 in Year.
"The objection to the slaughter
yearly of 300,000,000 birds for their
plumage becomes stronger by reason
of the fact that most of the birds
whose plumage is used in commerce
are killed during the nesting season,
when they are tame and their plum
age has an added luster. Many, like
the snowy heron, known as aigrettes,
have a special nuptial plumage bridal
| dress.
"So heavy has been the agricultural
loss of the world that every civilized
government has been forced to pass
| laws conserving the birds within their
i boundaries.’*

111 CONTEST TO
T. T. Adams, of R. F. D. route No.
4 says his wife was enticed from her
home and kept a prisoner at No. 169

headquarters late Saturday night and

Plenty of Time, and New Contest
ants Have as Good Chance
as Older Ones.
This week promises to be a lively
one in the big Want Ad Contest of
The American and Georgian. Th*
Contest Manager has been notified of
several new* entrants in the race for
the grand prizes, and several other
organizations are planning to com
pete for the $1,000 In gold offered to
the organization securing the most
votes in the contest.
“Don’t think you're too late to en
ter now and win,” the Contest Man
ager told a prospective candidate yes
terday. “Your opportunity is just as
good as anyone’s. The work eo far
has been largely preparatory; you ,
can come in now, devote a little while
each day to peeing your friends, and
win that first prize.
“And you do not compete against
the organizations, either. They have
a separate contest for different prizes.
An individual doesn’t have to race
against a group of workers. Any man
or woman, even a boy or girl, stands
a good chance of winning an automo
bile or a trip to California, or one of
the tw'enty class prizes.”
WANTS “PURITY SUNDAY" SET.
Governor John M. Slaton has re
ceived a letter from the Rev. E. C.
Atkins, national lecturer for the In
ternational Anti-White Slave Asso
ciation, asking him to proclaim Sun
day, November 9. as "Purity Sun
day."
