ARMY DEMONSTRATION
OUTFIT IS IN MARIETTA
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 8 officers and
Ii enlisted men under command of
Capt G. 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 addition to their touring cars,
they have A White trucks, in which
are carried the weapons and ammu-
milton used in giving the demonstra-
items.
The demonstrators, while here, will
gladly receive all applications for en-
listment in any branch of the u. S.
Array that is open.
The demonstrations which will be
given on Friday and Saturday, begin
ming each day at p. m. will consist
of one FOUNDER guns, Stokes treseh
mortars, Browning machine gums,
(both light and heavy hand gren-
AIDES, signal rockets, rifle lights and
position lights.
A still exhibit will also be on dis
play in the city Park. This will con-
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 srspade dischargers and, bayo-

ing machines, photographs, field tele-
phones and buzzers, radio sending
and receiving sets, wave meters, field
switch boards, "blinker" signal
camps, signaling flags, one FOUNDER
guns, trench mortars and various
other weapons and equipment.
The party has been touring in
Georgia and Alabama for the past
g months, and the demonstrations
which were witnessed by thousands,
were enthusiastically received. Every
body should grasp this opportunity to
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 city, as they have
an extended tour mapped out for
them.
sIhe weapons used in giving the de-
monstrations 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 ac-
count of regular service ammunition
being used, the demonstrators have
selected the old target range on PAGE
street as the most desirable place.

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 'inspiration.
A chapter from Mary Roberts
Rinehart's charming 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 compared and
discussed. Almost everyone present
took some part in the discussions.
1t is evident that these girls intend
to stand up for their rights and do
not propose to be imposed upon by
mere man.
Following the discussion, some
gathered around the nat bowl and
others sang songs to the accompain-
ment of the guitar and ukulele.
The Club meets every Thursday
evening promtly at 1880 o'clock and
any business girl or woman of the
city is not only invited but urged
to join. Talks ON parliamentary
Law" Business Efficiency" and
Girls as Citizens" will be included
