NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS
FOR STATE SANITARIUM

Atlanta, July 1.-Powerful
efforts will be made by state off
Gals and friends of the state in
sane asylum at Milledgevil1e to
secure from the legislature this
session the imperative needed ap-
preparations for a new building
for white females and new
building for negroes at that insti-
tuition.
Notwithstanding the condition
of state finances, Governor Harris
put the states duty to the insane
first and foremost in his annual
message to the general assembly.
declaring 1t to be "Georgia's
greatest charity" and asserting
that the state is bound to care
for the helpless insane"
As a result of the fact that the
state insane asylum has not had a
new building of any character in
tile last twelve years, the white
female and the negro departments
are not only crowded beyond rea
Sonable limits, but are compelled
to take care of double the number
OF patients for which they were
built. These unfortunates are
herded together almost like cat
tie, two living and sleeping in an
apartment made for one.
The report of the trustees, sub
mltted to the legislature. shows
among other things, that while
insanity does not ordinarily shor-
ten life, the death rate at the asv-
lum is four times as great among
the whites as among the general
population, and more than ten
times as great among the negro
eS.

ARMORED AUTOS ON
DECKS OF WARSHIPS

Washington, July 3.-Armored
automobiles on the decks of war
ships, in sea-going RATS, for use
OF attachments Of the United
States Marine Corps in shore op-
erat1ons, may soon be added to
the regular equipment of naval
vessels.
Experiments at the Boston ma
w yard few days ago demon
strated that these indispensable
cars can be slowed aboard by the
means of electric cranes on war
vessels, in very few moments.
and that the deck space they oc-
cupy is very little.
United States Marines found
great need for armored cars in
their recent operations in Mex
leo, Hayti and San Domingo but
the cars they used had to be shin
ped to them by regular naval
transports.

SALVATION ARMY GO
DOWN IN MEXICO"

Atlanta, Ga, July 1.-There's
another army going to Mexico,
but it's not the army of the
United States. It will pitch its
tents along with Uncle Sans sol
diers, but its ammunition will be
reading matter, home comforts
and lninistrations instead of gun
powder.
The Salvation Army will send
as many officers as it can spare to
the front Brigadier A. w.
Crawford, commander Of this di-
vision, with Atlanta as his head
quarters, has offered the services
OF the army to Governor Harris
and he telegraphed the army off
GERS in the four southeastern
states to do the same, and they
have done so.
The girl members of the Saliva
ton Army are as anxious to g6
to Mexico as the first recruits that
joined the Fifth regiment. Three

ant Saphronia Curtis, Cadet Reba
Crawford and Cadet Edith Ayers.
said they would like nothing bet
ter, but in all probability the ar
my will send only its male officers
to the front.
The Salvation Army will work
in Mexico as the Salvation Army
works in Europe. Four thousand
OF the SalyatiOnists are i'll active
service in the trenches, but there
are many others in field tents in
France, Germany, Russia and the
other warning countries.
Field tents like these will be es-
tablished in Mexico. There the
boys in Khaki will find place
to write home, a place to read,
spiritual advice if they want it, a
kind word and a friendly hand al
ways.
