TAKES A KNOCK FOR
MISS PEACHTREE NOW

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. S-Atlantians
are fond of Dragging on Peachtree
street and barking back to the time
when it was an Indian trail, but they
are not advertising the fact, except
locally, that the famous thoroughfare
is again almost as bad, from the stand
point of pavement, as it was when the
mountain wagons plowed through its
mud in Atlanta's village days.
The wornout asphalt pavement is so
full of holes and ruts that automobiles
can hardly travel over it, and the city
government is so hard up financially
that there is no immediate prospect Of
tie street being re-paved.

Stratford Surgical
! Dressings Committee
Ready For Service

The following appeal has been sent
out by the Surgical Dressings commit
tee of Stratford:
'Are there any men in Stafford
who will donate money for work-ta-
bles for the Surgical Dressings Com
nlittee? The tables now in use are
loaned by the Congregational Church,
and of course are needed whenever
the church has a supper or a fair
which causes havoc in the Surgical
Dressings work, as all supplies and
finished work have to be put on the
floor and all work stopped until the
tables can again be set up. We need
two ordinary paper-hangers' tables
made in the cheapest possible way,
as they are covered with oilcloth when
used for making the dressings. The
women of Stratford have given so con-
stantly to the Surgical Dressings, and
many have worked so faithfully since
August 1879 that we are hoping that
some Of the men of the town will be
interested to give us better tables to
work on, that will belong to us, and
therefore prevent our being upset as
we have been for the last two years
whenever the borrowed tables are
needed Any donations, however
small, will be gratefully received, and
may be sent to Mrs. Sterling Bunnell,
Main Street, marked For Surgical
Dressings Tables
''The committee is in communica-
ton with the authorities at Washing
ton, and as soon as there Is need of
dressings in our own country. we hold
our Stratford committee in readiness
to turn over all our output to this
government. In the meantime we
are continuing to send to the Allies,
where the need grows more desperate
week by week. There will be no reg
ular Thursday meeting this week. and
all members are asked to go to the
general meeting of all women inter-
ested in Preparedness to be held at
Christ Church Parish House at 4:30 on
Friday.'
