When You Go Away Find A
Red Cross Chapter
And Help
A Red Cross Vacation. %
A RED CROSS vacation does not
mean a vacation from RED CROSS
work, but a chance to do RED CROSS
work in your vacation from your usu
ai vocation. _
The RED CROSS BRIEFS publish
ed for the information of Red Cross
Chapters, have this to say about va
cation time. .
«“The months that are identified
with the term ‘vacation time’ are at
hand. Some fortunate gersons will be
able to have their vacations as usual
this year. A great number will not.
The grim business of war recognizes
no dog days. Thousands and tens of
thousands who otherwise would be en
joying restful outings are held to se
rious work in the interest of the civ
ilized world. ’
At this time above all others, no
wasteful vacation is justified for any
one.
“Remember, you who are fortun
ate enough to get away from daily
routine, that your country and hu
manity still have a claim on your ser
vices. Don’t give up the RED CROSS
work that has interested. Don’t for
get that there is unceasing work to
be done for the peoples who are bear
ing the most terrible part of the com
mon burden. Wherever you are a
RED CROSS CHAPTER or Branch
will be in visiting distance.
“To all vacationers, then: Do some
RED CROSS work while resting from
other work. Lend the rural Chapter
workers your helping hand. You will‘
return from your vacation with a
more peaceful soul if you do it.
Chapter Label for Garments and
Certain Other Articles.
Hereafter, labels bearing the name
of the Chapter will be sewed into cer
tain articles made by the Chapter.
This will be in addition to the reg
ular RED CROSS EMBLEM. Instruc
tions will be sent out by the Director
of Woman’s Work, with the allot-|
ment for each branch and circle, as
soon as the allotment is received for
hospital garments, woolen garments
etc. these labels will give a personal
touch to all or the work done by the
RED CROSS workers in the county,
for when these ‘“Cobb County Chap!
ter” labels go to the boys over there
our boys may get garments with the
dear old home-county name on them.!
Is there any need to say what that
would mean to a wounded boy? ‘

the entire receipts to go to the Mari
°tia Branch. The war tax will be ap-
Propriated to the Home Service
Section, the remainder, including the
tickets sold by the Red Cross members
TWENTY-NINE T 0 ONE
Five Years Added To Their
Lives By Soldiers
In Training
Based on the mortality statistics of
the allied armies, a soldier’s chances
are as follows:
Twenty-nine chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them.
One chance in 500 of losing a limb.
Will live five years longer because
of physical training, is freer from
disease in the Army than in civil
life, and has better medical care at
the front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to 15 men
died from disease to 1 from bullets;
in this war 1 man dies from disease
to every 10 from bullets.
For those of our fighting men who
do not éscape scatheless, the Govern
ment under the soldier and sailor in
surance law gives protection to the
wounded and their dependents and to
the families and dependents of those
who make the supreme sacrifice for
their country.
}ROBERT KING AWTREY
’ AT HOME ON FURLOUGH
Lieutenant Commander Robert K.
Awtrey of the U.S. Navy most agree
ably surprised his “father, Mr. Ber
inard Awtrey, by dropping down last
Saurday evening, when he was sup
posed to be in the submarine infested
rs about old England, protecting
our transports and §inking or captur
ing said submarines.
However he produced some evi
dence that he had been on the afore
said job, one piece of the evidence
being a pair of oil covered, leather
overalls, that he got from a captured
German submarine officer.
King Awtrey, as he is familiarly
known in Marietta, is looking fine
and bronzed by the work in which
he has been engaged, and we are
proud to welcome him home to Ma
rietta for his brief furlough of two
weeks. He has many interesting in
cidents to tell of adventure, but it
is not the desire of officers that such
things be published at this time. |
From here he will go on,an im
portant mission for the Navy Depart
ment which cannot be stated now.
He made a quick journeyho‘ne,
leaving England on July 2nd, and
arriving here on the 13th. He has
been on the Destroyer Davis of the
U.S. Navy. , ,
His rank is high for so young a
man, of only seven years service, and
we doubt not that he will come home
again with added honors and author
ity.
will be divided as are all other monies
made for the work of the Branch. |
The Marietta Branch wishes to ex-i
press its appreciation to Mr. E. L.
Stringer and Mr. D. A. Summerour,
theowners, to Mr. Lawson Fields, for
the tickets, to The Marietta Journa],}
for the window cards, and to Mr.
Otis Brumby of the Cobb County:
Times, for the handbills. |
The returns are not all in yet, but
the door receipts were nearly $7O.

NEXT WEER
Local Chapter Will Get All
The Net Income For
’ The Week .
The management of the Strand has
(turned the house over to the Mari
lettl Branch of the Red Cross for the
week beginning Monday, July 22nd.
The entire net receipts for the week
will be given to the Red Cross. One
half of the money earned in this‘
way will be appropriated to the Sur
gical Dressings, one fourth te thel
Hospital Supplies, one fourth to the
;Wool Fund, and the war tax will be
applied to the Home Service Section.
’ The bill for the week is particular
1y attractive, beginning with Monday,
Iwhen the charming Metro star, Viola
Dana, will be seen in the stirring
drama of western life, ‘“The Only
Road.” Mrs. M. R. Lyon and a com
mittee representing the knitting com
mittee will be in charge on Monday.
On Tuesday the ever charming
‘Wallace Reid in, The Firefly of
France” will prove particularly at
tractive. Mrs. Wellborn Reynolds
and a committee from the Surgical
Dressings Division will be in charge
on Tuesday.
On Wednesday Enid Bennett and
Ja# Holt, two prime favorites, will
be {seen in, “A Desert Wooing.”
This is an unusual combination of ar
tists, and as the play was produced
under the direct supervision of Thom
as Ince, it will be an artistic success.
Miss Louise Schilling and a committee
from the Hospital Supplies Division
will be in charge on Wednesday.
#Phe Young Ladies Auxiliary, Mrs.
N. K. Smith, Chairman, will have
charge of the Theatre on Thursday,
when the dear little Mae Marsh, who
won her fame in the “Birth of a Na
tion,” will be seen in a fine picture,
many'of the scenes of which were
taken in Savannah. The play, “The
Glorious Adventure,” is said to be one
of Goldwyn’s prize packages.
On Friday one of the greatest pic
tures ever made will be seen in, “Ba
ree, Son of Kazan.” Those who read
the Kazan stories of James Oliver
Curwood will miss a treat if they miss
the picturization of the wondérful dog
that takes the part of Baree in the
play. The human actors are all that
could be desired, but the acting of
this great wolf-dog is nothing short
of marvelons. Mrs. Otis Brumby and
her committee of Juniors Number 3
will be in charge on Friday. ;
Watch the screen for the bill for
Saturday. We have the promise of a
genuine treat for that day. In ad
dition to the pictures reviewed in this
short space there will be the usual |
comedies and- the Screen Telegrams
and the Bray Cartoons.
The Marietta Branch of the Red
Cross commends this innocent and
inexbensive form of amusement to
everybody, young and old. Go to the
Picture Show, relax your tired nerves
and help he Red Cross. .

A MEMBER IN CUBA |
This week comes one of our sub
scribers in Cuba, with his dollar and
application for membership in the
Men’s Patriotic League of Marietta.
Robert A. Anderson, who has so
many friends and relatives here, sent
the coupon out of the Journal with
the membership fee to Secretary Wal
lace, and has been added to the ros
ter.
Members to this League are not to
be solicited, and only those who have
a patriotic desire to help freely in
every way possible to win the war,
are welcomed to it’s ranks.
Have you that feeling, and is your
purpose to help win? Then you could
help better as a member of the Lea
gue. .
SAVE WATER PLEASE
Mayor Brumby says we made a
mistake last week in making the an
nouncement of the new well.
Many people he says began at once
to use water more freely than our
present plant can supply, and he asks
us to beg all to await the arrival of
pump and machinery to make the
new water supply available.
‘Just as quickly as the new well can
be worked we will give the word and
you will be invited to use all the
water you may wish, but until then
for the sake of our fire protection
save all the water possible.

R A HIL
Uses His Knife Freely And
Makes Escape Before
' Help Arrives
Y
A most dastardly attempt was
made to murder Mr. Robert A. Hill,
President of the Merchants and Far
mers Bank, an last Friday evening
about 8:30 o’clock, by Homer Davis
of Austell.
Mr. Hill with his wife and some of
the younger members of his €family
were in a car with a young man
named Rice from Powder Springs.
They drove up to the door of the
home of his daughter on Atlanta
Street and found Davis, who was the
husband of Mr. HillVs daughter, but
‘who.had been divorced by her some
years ago, standing in front of the
house. J
He applied some vile epithets to
the party in the car and made an
assault upon Mr. Hill cutting him
severely about the neck, narrowly
missing the jugular vein.
In the attempt to defend Mr. Hill,
the young man, Rice, also had some
glight cuts.
It was clearly the purpose of Davis
to kill Mr. Hill, as he had been mak
ing threats that he would kill the
whole family, and thinking he had
mortally wounded Mr. Hill, he ran
from the scene before help could ar
rive.
The alarm was given and every
effort made to apprehend Davis, but
at this writing he is still at large.
He is well known in Atlanta and in
parts of Cobb county, and a reward
has been offered for his arrest.
Mr. Hill wasgiven immediate med
ical attention, and his wounds al
though painful, are not so serious as:
was at first feared. He' is resting
very well at his home and his many
friends hope for an early and com
plete recovery.
CHARGED WITH ROBBERY
HELD FOR GRAND JURY
Last week a Captain from Camp
Gordon swore a warrant ggainst one
Margaret Crouse, W. J. Blanton, and
two soldiers, charging that he was
held up and robbed of $l4 on the
Cobb county side of the river.
In Justice Court on Tuesday the
woman was put under a $560 bond
as a material witness against Blan
ton, while the two soldiers were in
custody of military authotities at
Fort McPherson, where they will
stand court martial. They were for
some reason not produced as witneus
es against Blanton, who was put un
der a $5OO boAd for action of the
Cobb County Grand Jury. 4
In the absence of Justice Greer
