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 carnival at the East Lake Club 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. Co-respondent Is ‘Fortunate Mann' Emile Willomann, of New York, Names Near Namesake in Suit for Divorce. 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. JAIL-BREAKER. BELIEVED DEAD, COMES BACK HOME GAINESVILLE, FLA., Aug. 30.— The police picked up a city prisoner named Tom McFarland, who escaped some time ago and was reported kill ed at Dunnellon. He could not stay away from Gainesville. Cdm THIEF JESUP, Aug. 30.—A petition ask ing for the pardon of J.

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.’* I NOIN IN 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 Central avenue for two weeks before she escaped.

Two weeks ago, Adams said, his wife escaped from the house and went to the home of her parents in Mar ietta, where she is living.

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.
