To Represent Tech in Con
test at University
-Handsome Medal from Walter P. An
drews will be Presented Commence
ment Day, June 16, When Other
Honors and Medals are Awarded.
Marietta is proud of her distinction
in having one of her sons win in the
Tech Freshman oratorical contest this
year. 55
This honor comes through the abil
ity of Archie Sessions, a graduate of
Marietta High of last year, and son
of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Sessions, of
Marietta.
Reviewing the unusual record for
‘merit and proficiency made by this
young man in school, his teachers and
friends are not surprised, but are
highly gratified at this evidence of
continued excellence.
We quote from the Atlanta Con
stitution of Thursday:
“The annual oratorical contest of
the freshmen class at the Georgia
School of Technology was won Wed
nesday night by Archibald Drake Ses
sions, of Marietta, who had for his
subject, ‘The Vision for Which We
TFought.” Honorable mention was
accorded Russell Hanford Stokes,
whose subject was ‘The New Amer
ica.’ /
‘The prize for the best oration is
a handsome medal given the winner
by~Walter P. Andrews, who for the
past seven years has awarded a medal
in this contest. The medal will be
bestowed on young Sessions on June
16 during commencement season at
Tech, when other medals and hon
ors are awarded to students.
“There were six participants in the
contest Wednesday night, which was
one of the most brilliant in the his
tory of the class. The judges who
decided the winners were Robert B.
Troutman, R. C. Little, principal of
Peacock School, and H. W. Arant,
secretary of the Emory law school.
“By virtue. of winning over the
other contestants for first honors on
Wednesday night, young Sessions be
comes the student who will represent
Tech in a similar contest at the Uni
versity of Georgia on ‘College Day.’
A large audience was present to
hear the youthful speakers. The bat
tle for oratorical supremacy was
staged in the school Y. M. C. A. build
ing on North avenue opposite the
campus, and the competing students
besides thosemamed above are Dallas
Ward Qsborne, Donald Jennings
Matheson, Thomas Wallace Quinn and
John Paul Locke. Tech band furn
ished music for the occasiomn.”
EUGENE GANN
Eugene Gann, the fourteen-year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Z. T. Gann,
of Atlanta, died Monday morning at
a private sanitarium, following an
operation for appendicitis.
Funeral services were held in Ma
rietta Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock,
at the home of his grand-parents,
Judge and Mrs. J. M. Gann, Dr. White
officiating. Mrs. John Warren, Mrs.
1. A. White, Mr. Lane Moore and Mr.
Hawkins sang “God Be With You,
Till We Meet Again,” and “God Will
Take Care of You.” The pall-bearers
were Tate McClain, Talmadge Aber
crombie, Robert and Hugh Hill, David
Maddox and Clint Webb. Interment
was in the city cemetery.
Although living in Atlanta at the
time of his death the little boy had
made his home in Marieta for a num
ber of years, and was a former pupil
in the Grammar School here. 'He
was a bright and lovable child, popu
lar alike, with teachers and school
mates. His death was a terrible shock
to many friends both here and in
.Atlanta. Among the beatiful floral
offerings was a wreath sent by the
Atlanta Journal, by whom he was em
ployed, at the time cf his death.
Besides his parents and grand-pa
rents, Eugene is survived by one sis
ter, Aline, and two brothers, Edwin
and James L. Gann.
A VERY INTERESTING i
SQOUVENIR OF THE WAR
When the government called for
field glasses early in the war for
the soldiers, Mr. J. T. Anderson
turned over a fine pair to Colonel
Earl d’Arcy Pierce, of the 319th
Field Artillery.
Colonel Pierce, who has recently
returned from overseas, came up from
Atlanta on Tuesday and returned the
glasses to Mr. Anderson. Colonel
Pierce had a silver service-plate put
on the case, engraved with the date
of sailing and the return, the whole
being as follows: |
A. E. F., May 19, 1918. May 6,
1919. Mihiel Salient, Meuse, Ar-i
gonne. |
These glasses have observed many
a boche, and they are highly prizedl
by Mr. Anderson. J
THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
;George Goumas, Who Won the D. S.
C., is Back With His Friends
in Marietta Once More
One Marietta boy came home this
week wearing a Distinguished Service
Cross, won in the Argonne fighting.
All Sunday afternoon George Gou
mas was holding a regular reception
shaking hands with his many friends,
and being welcomed by them back
home. :
George was in a signal corps, the
character of whose work was second
to none in the division, and George is
proud of the record of his outfit, but
says little of his personal conduct
which won the cross. He very modest
ly declines to talk for publication, and
says he is more than delighted to get
back to old Cobb county once more.
The Journal some time ago quoted
the citation for bravery under fire
from the official orders. Although
Goumas was himself wounded, he car
ried his more seriously wounded com
panions to safety, and returned to his
exposed position until he completed
the repair of broken lines and was
ordered back by his superior officer.
George tells us that he has not yet
decided just what business he will
enter, having disposed of his market
business at the time of his entering
the service. We trust that he will be
able to find pleasant and profitable
employment in Marietta.
Being one of the few boys who kept
his promise to write us when he went
away, we are glad to add our congrat
ulations to those of his numerous
other friends.

MARIETTA GIRL WINS
~ We clip from the Tifton Gazette
a news item which will be of interest
to many of our readers.
- Miss Pauline Manning, whose
school in Tift county won the prize,
is a graduate of Marietta High, of
three years ago, and won the prize
for the U. D. C. essay that year.
The Sonora offered by Brooks Phar
macy for the rural school in Tift
county showing the best understand
ing of President Wilson’s fourteen
points, as a basis for peace, was won
by Nipper school.
The Sonora is a $lOO instrument
and the school is congratulated on
winning it. Miss Pauline Manning is
the teacher, and her pupils are said
to understand the difficult problems
presented by the fourteen points so
thoroughly that they would put a
grown person to shame in talking of
them. Miss Manning has been re
quested to have the pupils give a
demonstration of the fourteen points,
to which the public will be invited.
The committee on award visited
each of the contesting schools and
heard the pupils elucidate the four
teen points. The following is the let
ter accompanying the award of the
prize:
“Tifton, Ga., May 10, 1919.
“Brooks Pharmacy Co.,
“Tifton, Ga.
“Dear Mr. Brooks—We, the com
mittee selected to make the award in
the Sonora contest, have completed
our task and now make our report.
Our work is a difficult one. The com-}
peting schools were of a high order.
The pupils had been thoroughly
drilled and were all conversant with
President Wilson’s fourteen points.‘
All the competing schools have by
this contest been benefitted far be
yond any material reward that could
be given them, in the information
and patriotic fervor, they have ac
quired. There was hardly a shade of
merit of one over the other. But it
is our assigned duty to select one
as the winner of the Sonora‘you have
so generously offered to the school
displaying the best information on
President Wilson’s now famous four
teen points, and we have named Nip
per as the winning school. There
would have been many other entries
in the contest but for the fact that
they had a niano or one in prospect
eliminated them. ,

lavishly used, large Marie Antoinette

The famous “19” of the class of

HAVE YOU A BUTTON?
The new War Savings Society but
tons are beginning to appear on the
lapels of thrifty people. Thousands
of them are being distributed among
those who qualify for membership in
Uncle Sam’s army of savers.
The new button. is unique. In the
center is a picture of Ben Franklin,
smiling upon those who would follow
in his footsteps by ‘“spending a little
less than you earn.” On the margin
is inscribed the words: ‘“War Savings
Society,” on a bronze background.
The supply for this district is now
being distributed from headquarters
in Atlanta to those who have joined
the societies organized in the city.
A LICENSED VETERINARIAN
MAKES HOME IN MARIETTA
Dr. R. O. Suddeth, a veterinarian
of experience and a graduate of Geor
gia, has' moved to Marietta with his
family and will practice his profes
sion here.
Since Dr. Sawyer lef we have had
no regular licensed veterinarian in
Marietta, and no doubt those who
have stock will be glad to have some
one in reach who can do such work.
His card appears in this issue, and
he asks patronage sufficient to war
rant his residence here.
DR. LESLIE BLAIR
GOES TO BOSTON
Dr. Leslie Blair, late Lieutenant
Blair, A. E. F., left on Thursday for
Boston where he goes to take a post
graduate course at Harvard Univer
sity. Dr. Blair has very succesfully
practiced medicine here for two or
three years, but he is planning now
to specialize in children’s diseases.
His many friends predict that he will
he a leader in his chosen sphere of
~t'on, and they wishk him the best of
luck.
Fly Low Over City. Aids Salvation
Army Campaign. Did Not
Make Landing
On Friday afternoon three Curtis
Aeroplanes from Atlanta paid a short
visit to Marietta, doing “stunts” and
putting on an air show that was well
worth the time to look at.
The airplanes hove into sight about
five-thirty and their coming was her
alded by loud shouts from the many
“newsies’” who had gathered on the
square since three-thirty to see the
planes come in. They were scheduled
to arrive in Marietta earlier in the
afternoon, but for some unknown
reason did not get here until late in
the afternoon.
Two of the airplanes flew directly
over the city park, doing tail-spins,
nose-dives, loop-the-loops and almost
everything a first-class aviator is sup
posed to do. One of the planes flew
so low over the court house that it
was feared that the driver of the
plane had decided that the old steeple
on the temple of justice needed a
close shave and was trying to give it
one in a true up-to-date airplane
style.
The planes are flying in the inter
est of the Salvation Army Campaign
drive to carry on the work of this
splendid organization for another
year without having to make the daily
rounds with the tambourine, as has
been customary in the past. The
work of the Salvation Army in France
and in the camps in this country has
been very valuable to the Army and
the people would be -giving their
money to no more worthy cause than
the Salvation Army.
Ask any overseas soldier about the
Salvation Army and hear what he has
to say about the Salvation Army Las
sie in the trenches, serving doughnuts
“like mother used to make,” cofi'ee,i
chocolate and other dainties that only
a soldier /in the trenches can appre
ciate.
After giving the first class exhi
bition over the city park the planes
turned their noses toward the capitol
city and were soon lost from view,
The people would have been very
glad to have the aviators make a
landing, but Marietta does not afford
a suitable landing site at this time,
however, we hope to see the time
when aeroplanes can make a good
landing in Marietta just as they do
in Atlanta and otHer enterprising
cities in the state.
The Upper Section of County Com
plains and Will Protest Action
I At Future Meeting
I Acworth and Kennesew are not at
all satisfied with the schedule of road
building made recently as a basis for
the issue of bonds.
We quote below from the Acworth
Post of this week:
“County Commissioner C. F. Mor
gan, of Kennesaw, stated to the Post
Saturday that this paper’s stand in
the matter of road work apportion
,ment for Acworth,’ Kennesaw, Red
| Rock and Mars Hill districts is exactly
lright, and that the contentions are
just—that these sections are not men
'tioned for their poroportionate share
of the proposed bond issue morey.
~ “Mr. Morgan further states, how
‘ever, that he is powerless alone and
singlehanded to get for this section
any concessions. As was the case
‘with Austell, Powder Springs and oth
‘er sections at the committee meetings
he must have a strong delegation to
back up his contentions. He stated
that not another man was at the
meeting to aid him in presenting this
district’s claims and that he was un
able to even get a second to his
motions.
“The recommendation for the en
tire Acworth, Kennesaw, Red Rock
and Mars Hill sections is only $32,000
out of the $664,000 remaining after
deducting the $336,000 set aside for
the Dixie highway. This would make
this entire section’s apportionment
only .048 per cent of the proposed
bond issue.
“This per cent of the funds has
been recommended for the second
heaviest tax-paying district in the
county. There are only five districts
in the county. °
“Acworth district should at once
call a meeting of the tax-payers and
unite upon some defiinite plan of
road building in this section, perhaps
based on the amount of property re
turned, which would be fair and
equitable and proportionate to the
rest of the county.
“A strong delegation should also
be appointed to present these claims
at the next meeting of the bond com
mittee. The Acworth Board of Trade
would be the proper body to call this
meeting.
“The count mnst™at together and
pass the bond issue.”

U, S. DISTRICT COURT
Federal Court Decision Uses
Scorching Terms
Charges Deception on Part of the
Company in the Very Use of Its
Name and in the Promotion of the
Sale of Its Products.
The Federal Reporter of May Bth
has an important decision of the Cir
cuit Court of Appeals, which will be
of interest in this section, because it
touches one of the best known drinks,
“Coca Cola” by name, but which the
court decides is something else in
fact.
We reproduce the decision in full
in order that the court’s opinion in
the matter may be known to the peo
ple: :
In the case of the Koke Co. of
America et al. vs. Coca Cola Co., in
the” Circuit Court of Appeals, Ninth
Circuit, February 24, 1919, No. 3012,
the Coca Cola Company was held
chargeable with such deceptive, false,
fraudulent, and unconscionable con
duct in the advertising and sale of
its product as precludes a court of
equity from granting it any relief in
the protection of its trade mark or
business. Before Gilbert, Ross, and
Hunt, Circuit Judges.
Ross, Circuit Judge, says:
Our conclusion in this case, after a
careful examination of it, may be
very briefly stated. The suit was
brought to obtain an injunction, pre
liminary and perpetual, an account
ing for profits, and for the recovery
of damages against the defendants
thereto, upon the ground of their
alleged joint and several infringe
ment of the complainant’s trade-mark
“Coca Cola,” and for unfair compe
tition on the part of the defendants.
After long preceding use of it, the
trade-mark was registered in the
United States Patent Office on Janu
ary 3, 1893, under the act of Con
gress of March 3, 1881, and was also
registered under the subsequent act
of Congress of February 20, 1905,
entitled ‘““An act to authorize the reg
istration of trade-marks used in com
merce with foreign nations, among
the several states of the United
States, and with the Indian tribes,
and to protect the same.” A very
large amount of testimony was taken
in the case, from which the court
below found as a fact that the prep
aration manufactured and sold by
the defendants to the suit was in imi
tation of that of the complaint, and
that the name under which it was
so manufactured and sold—*“Koke”"—
was selected for the purpose of reap
ing the benefit of the reputation and
advertising of the complainant, and
because it would permit the defend
ants to better dispose of their product
‘as and for Coca Cola, especially in
view of the fact that the label of the
complainant was copied and imitated,
and the barrels in which defendants’
products were shipped were colored
as nearly like those of complainant
as possible.
Upon the record we would not be
justified in holding that the trial court
reached the wrong conclusion in that
respect, and if that were the only’
point in the ease would readily affirm
the interlocutory decree appealed
from. But it is the well-established
law, as held by the Supreme Court
that “when the owner of a trade
mark applies for an injunction to
restrain the defendant from injuring
his property by making false repre
sentations to the public, it is essential
that the plaintiff should not in his
trade-mark or in his advertisements
and business, be himself guilty of any
false or misleading representations;
that if the plaintiff makes any ma
terial false statement in connection
|with the property which he seeks to
protect, he loses his right to claim the
)assistance of a court of equity; that
‘where any symbol or label claimed
; ’ .
as a trade-mark is so constructed or
‘worded as to make or contain a dis
tinct assertion 'which is false, mo
property can be claimed on it, or, in
other words, the right to the exclu
sive use of it cannot be maintained.”
Many cases will be found referred
to by the court in its opinion in sup
port of it. The evidence, we think,
leaves no room for doubt that the
appellee’s very extensive business
conducted under the name “Coca
Cola” is not entitled to proteetion at
the hands of a court of equity: First,
because it shows that in the beginning,
and for many years thereafter,, the
coca of which its compound was in
large part made contained the deadly
drug cocaine, and the caffeine, which
constituted the other main ingredient,
was derived mainly, and, indeed, al
‘most exclusively, not from cola nuts,
but from tea leaves. Yet the labels
with which the preparation was
adorned contained pictures of coca
Jleaves and cola nuts, and was widely
advertised and sold, first, under the
rame of “Coca Cola Svrup & Ex
