HOW WELL DO YOU
KNOW YOUR BIBLE?
$4,000 in Gold Coin to
the One Who Knows
1t Best.
A Unique Contest That is a Test
OF Your Skill-Win S10O in
Gold by Familiarizing your
self with Your Bible.

This weeks Journal carries the
full page announcement of a Con-
test that should excite and arouse
the interest of every person, big and
little, old and young in Cobb County.
The reward is $4,000 in Jing-
ling Gold Coin.
The contest is called printers
Pi Puzzle Contest" and the only re
quirements involved in an effort to
win the $4,000 in Gold are a
copy of the New Testament and the
expenditure Of JUST little effort.
In every printing office, when type
is accidentally spilled it is called
pr. Oftentimes, after an article
has been "set up" and all ready to
print, some one accidentally drops
it and the result is "pi''. The pro-
blem then is to either reassemble the
irtmbled mass of lines or else reset
the article.
The Journal has compiled a series
of quotations from the New Tesla
ment, had them set up in lines of
type and then spilled them. The
object of the contest is to reassen1ble
the lines as they were originally.
The jumbled lines are contained in
the square in the center of the adj
vertisement on another page.
One Hundred Dollars in Gold will
be given to the person who comes
nearest to re-arranging these lines
as they were before being "pied''.
Now then, get busy. Can you
imagine an easier or more entertain
ing method Of earning $4,000.
Every member of the family can
compete. Read the rules and in
structions carefully in the advertise
ment and if there is anything about
it that is not clear or that you do
not understand, call or write the Con-
test Manager, Marietta Journal and
we will be glad to set you right.
Send in your answers as soon as
possible. The date of the close of
the contest will be announced later
but we urge all contestants to get
their answers in at the earliest pos
sible moment that the judges may
have plenty of time in their work Of
going through the answers.
Everyone has an equal chance in
this contest and it is possibly the
fairest and most instructive contest
of its kind ever attempted by any
newspaper. The original quotations
are under lock and key in Safety
Deposit Vault in the Citizens Nat
ional Bank and a committee Of three
prominent and disinterested citizens
of Marietta will be the judges.
Begin right now-you never know
what you can do until you try.

START MOVE FOR
SAFETY SEASON TO
AVERT ACCIDENTS
Alarming Number of Traffic Accidents
Spurs Cities To Take Correct
i've Measures, Says
Board.

Washington, D. C. - Aroused by the
large number of accidents and fatali-
ties attributed to motor mishaps,
scores OF cities and localities through
out the United States began the week
of October to II with the observance
of "Soven Days for Safety" part of the
Safety Season" suggested by the
Highway Education Board.
According to the most reliable sta
tistics, the Board says, at least 1850
persons were killed in motor accidents
during 1921, while 100000 persons re-
ceivcd minor or major injuries during
the same period. This death and acct
dent toll, says the Board, can be laid
directly at the door Of carelessness
and ignorance. 1t Is in an effort to
correct this situation that the Safety
Season." with its component parts. is
suggested.
One OF the unfortunate features is
the fact that accurate statistics of the
number Of accidents and deaths can
not be had from all communities. The
Boards estimate is based on the best
figures obtainable from the Bureau Of
Census.

standing activities is Safety Week"

Memphis. September 1o.-Mobile. under the leadership of Bert Neihoff, playing and newcomer in the Southern association. today took clear title to the 1922 Southern asso- citation pennant and right to meet Fort Worth, Texas league pennant winner, in a post-season series.
 As the race stood, after today's 8 games, Mobile held a lead of 3h games with only three more games to be played by that club and the other pennant contender-Memphis- before the seasons end, September 14.
 All losses for Mobile and all wins for Memphis would still give the Mo- bile club a half-game advantage.
 Mobile put an end to all conjec- ture as to the title fight by taking the first game of a double-header from New Orleans, to 0. The second game was a defeat for Mobile. but the pennant already was clinched.
 It was the first pennant won by the Mobile club, which last year fin ished in last place.
 Mobiles victory was due to sem sational comeback" after being busted from first place In midseason by the Memphis club, which at one
