BUSINESS WOMAN’S CLUB
HAS INTERESTING MEETING
The Business Girls held a meeting
of unusual interest at the Club
Rooms last Thursday evening. The
attendance was large, which gave an
added sinspiration.
A chapter from Mary Roberts
Rinehart’s charmine book “Quish”
was read and heartily enjoyed. Then
Miss Lillian Boatner gave the girls
the benefit of her research along the
line of “Legal Rights of Women.”
The laws of Georgia and other states
affecting women were comvared and
discussed. Almost everyone prezent
took some vart in the discussions.
It is evident that these girls intend
to stand up for their rights and do
not propose to be imposed upon by
mere man.
JFollowing the discussion, some
gathered around the nut bow! and
others sang songs to the accompain
ment of tife guitar and ukulele.
The Club meets every Thursday
evening promtly at 7:30 o’clock and
any business girl or woman of the
city is not only invited but urged
to join. Talks on ‘“Parlimentary
Law,” “Business Efficiency” and
“Girl’s as Citizens,” will be included
in the programs for the near future.
These talks will be given by men
and women of the city who are
capable of handling their subjects.

Has Display of War Material And
Exhibits Mode of its Use
Including Firing
Owing to bad roads and unsafe
bridges the Camp Benning Demon
stration Party which was scheduled
to arrive in this city last Monday
did not arrive until Thursday. This
party is composed of 3 officers and
14 enlisted men under command of
Capt. C. L. Irwin, all being experts
in the handling of the various wea
pons that they use in giving demon
strations, being graduates of the In
fantry School at Camp Benning.
In addtion to their touring cars,
they have 4 White trucks, in which
are carried the weapons and ammu
nitien used in giving the demonstra
tiens.
The demonstrators, while here, will
gladly receive all applications for en
listment in any branch of the U. 8.
Army that is epen.
The demonstrations which will be
given on Friday and Saturday, begin
ning each day at 7 p. m. will consist
of one pounder guns, Stokes tremch
mortars, Browning machine guns,
(both light and heavy) hand gren
ades, signal rockets, rifle lights and
pesition lights.
A still exhibit will also be on dis
play in the eity Park. This will eon
sist of many types of machine guns,
including captured German and Aus
trian weapons, automatic machine
rifles, trench shot guns, gas masks,
trench helmets, service rifles fitted
with grenade dischargers and. bayo
nets, range finders, belt and clip load
ing machines, heliographs, field tele
phones and buzzers, radio sending
and receiving sets, wave meters, field
switch boards, “blinker” signal
camps, signaling flags, one pounder
guns, trench mortars and various
other weapons and equipment.
The party has been touring in
Georgia and Alabama for the past
6 months, and the demonstrations
which were witnessed by thousands,
were enthusiasticaly received. Every
body should grasp this opportunity te
witness these demonstrations, which
are free, as they are both educational
and entertaining, and as this will
probably be the only time that the
party will visit this eity, as they have
an extended tour mapped out for
them.
‘ fhe weapons used in giving the de
onstrations will be the same as
those used by the infantry in the late
war.
As plenty of room is required to
give these demonstrations, on ae
count of regular service ammunition
being used, the demonstrators have
selected the old target range on Page
stireet as the most desirable place.
