AMERICAS ASKED
TO BACK STATE
FORESTRY DEPT.

The Americas Chamber of Com
merce has been asked ty the Macon
Chamber to get behind a movement
which it is fathering, for the protec-
ton and conservation of Georgia's for
ests, and the enactment of law pro-
viding for state department of for
estry to be established so as to COM
mand federal aid, which the state can
not now get because it has not pro-
vided for the work The movement
will receive the backing of the Ameri-
Gus chamber.
The letter of the Macon Chamber
signed by F. Roger Miller, secretary,
follows:
Realizing the imperative need for
some immediate provision for the pro-
lection and conservation of Georgia
forests, we are inaugurating a move
ment in which we feel confident that
you will enthusiastically cooperate.
we favor state law and appro-
priation providing for the establish
ment of a state department of fores-
try under the direction of technically
trained man as superintendent of for
estry. This law should be so drafted
as to comply with the requirements of
the I. S. Forestry Service, thereby en-
abling Georgia to receive federal aid,
to which we are entitled, but which
we are now losing because we have
not provided for this important work
'Georgia's forests cover approx
mately 55 per cent. of the states area,
a larger supply of timber than is now
standing in any other Southern state.
The annual cut of timber averages
twelve to fourteen billion feet. At
this rate, one of our most valuable re-
sources will soon be exhausted unless
immediate provision is made for scien-
tific conservation and replacement"

Atlanta City Clerk
Routs 2 Footpads
With His Fists

ATLANTA, Jan. 3.--Walter Taylor,
city clerk of Atlanta, and formerly a
newspaper man widely known through
out the Southern states, yesterday
identified at police station negro who
attempted to hold him up on dark
street in the Atlanta burnt district a
few night ago.
Mr. Taylor was waylaid by two ne
groes, one of them a short mulatto and
the 0ther big, burly black. The mu-
latto grabbed him from behind and the
black negro showed a revolver in his
face Instead of throwing up his
hands and surrendering his money and
diamond scarf pin, which evidently
was what they were after, Mr.. Taylor
bawled out" the negroes and struck
out with his right fist for the big ne
gro's jaw. The mulatto caught his
arm and turned the blow and exclaim-
cd to the other: Shoot him"
The black negro pulled the trigger
and the revolver snapped instead Of
firing. This faulty cartridge saved
Mr. Taylor's life Before the negro
coulG pull the trigger a second time
he struck him again and shouted:
Don't you shoot me, you black scoun-
drel." The negroes lost their nevre
and backed across the street, holding
the gun on him until they reached the
mouth of an alley.

Mr.. Joseph C. Logan, Director of
Civilian Relief, Southern Division of
the American Red Cross, announces
the opening of Home Service In
stitute in Atlanta on January 18th
1919. The course covers six weeks of
lecture and field work.
This is the ninth of these training
classes conducted by the Southern
Division of the young women who wish
to qualify for secretarial positions
with the Home Servive of the Red
Cross.
Armistice conditions have quicken
ed rather than lessened interest in
Home Service work, and the flood of in
quiries from returning soldiers who
seek aid in legal, health, and financial
problems upon their return to the
local Home Service sections, has
awakened Red Cross workers every
where to the need for trained work
ers. On one trip recently made by a
Home Service supervisor for the
Southern Division, ten out of thirteen
small cities visited were ready to- en-
ploy trained worker; and the de-
mand has always exceeded the supply.
The Institute will be conducted by
Miss Edith Thomas, with Miss Helen
Cinnamond acting as general supervi-
sor of the field work. Miss Cannamond,
who is director of the Bureau of Edu-
cation of the Southern Division, is
receiving applications for admission
to the Institute. She may be adj

ADJUSTMENTS

A glorified tabloid musical comedy
expanded and amplified to afford two
and one-half hours of entertainment
was seen at the Opera House last
night in THE Million Dollar Doll"
Although handicapped by the small
ness of the stage, and wretched stage
lighting. the company did its best to
give a good audience an evening OF
real enjoyment and succeeded. The
company was capable, the music
sprightly, the chorus vivacious, if not
overburdened with pulchritude, and
the lines of the play full of humor that
met with hearty response from the
audience.
Fhe hits OF the play were Arthur
Burgess, as the hen-pecked husband,
and Jack Williams, as Jasper jack
son, the spud-peeling negro. The play
was in three acts with many song hits
scattered through. A unique feature
was the bridge of light, extended out
into the audience from the stage, over
which the chorus tripped amid a
blaze of lights while they sang some
of the more catchy songs.
The next attraction at the Opera
House will be the comedy, "Parlor,
Bedroom and Bath" which will be
seen Tuesday. Jan 81.
