Pandorians Fall Be-
fore Rivals in Hot
Basket Ball Contest
Raymond Rice

The two literary societies of the
Marietta High School carried their
friendly rivalry on the basketball
court last Friday when the Chance
MAN defeated the Pandorian by the
rather tight score Of 2S to 81. This
margin denoted the superiority of
the two teams-if there was any SUI
periority.
Both teams We're made up of stars
of the high school team and some
real good playing was exhibited to a
rather meager crowd. Since the
foundation of these two societies by
the senior class of 1921, away back
in the fall of 1920, the rivalry has
been keen in all branches of student
activities. The victory Friday night
was rather h5lariously celebrated
Monday at recess time by the win
ming side. However the Pandorians
proved true to their tradition and
showed that they could be good sports
in defeat as well as in victory.

Into Cogburn's Store Last Niqhf
SPLENDID LOCAL
TALENT CAST FOR
KATCHA KOO PLAY
Plans Well Under Way For Bril-
liant Performance Under
Professional Director

Plans for the presentation of
"Katchy Koo," the novel and bril-
liant musical production to be pre-
scented by the Dramatic Council Of
the Y w. C. A. on April z and 8 are
well under way and the committee in
charge, headed by Mrs. Adrian Cor
telyou and Mrs. w. E. Benson are
most enthusiastic regarding the out
look and feel confident that the com
ing event will be a splendid success.
A professional director from John B.
Rogers Co. will arrive in Marietta
the latter part of the week and se-
hearsals viii begin at the Y. w. sC.
A. Auditorium on Monday, March "a.
The leading dramatic talent in Ma
rietta will appear in the various rides
and the beautiful dances and choru-
ses. Among those cast for the pssh-
cipal characters are Misses Sarah
Patton, Ruth and Ruby Webb, EIiz-
abeth Nolan, Messrs. L. N. Trammell,
Joe Wyatt and Edwin Sage. Others
will assume the roles of Oriental la
dies, priests, slaves, attendants, Pola
dancers, etc.
Special scenery and costumes will
be supplied by John B. Rogers Co.,
adding much to the colorful effect of
the production.
Katcha-Koo is both Oriental and
American. 1t tells an interesting sto-
ry of an American aviator, who lost
in India, masquerades as an Oriental
fakir and meets with many thrilling
adventures. A vein of rich comedy
runs through the piece-and there
are novel and brilliant musical and
spectacular effects, The patriotic
idea predominates throughout and
there is a wonderful finale entitled
Liberty Afame," in which all the
Allied Nations participate.

MAKE ENTRANCE THRU
BASEMENT, LOAD SUIT
CASES WITH GOODS
Cash Drawers Are Torn to Pieces
But no Money Secured in
Bold Burglary Job

Burglars broke into Cogburn's
store at their new location in Mari
eta last night and made away with
mems clothing to an amount be-
tween $1,000 and $500.
Entering the basement through
coal shute they forced open trap
door, loaded ten or twelve suit cases
with mems suits, shirts, ties, under
wear, gloves, collars, overcoats, rain
coats and hats and opened back
door, loaded up and drove off with
a pretty good stock to start a mems
furnishing store.
Two drawers of the cash register
were pried with chisels, broken to
pieces and ransacked. The third
drawer where a small amount Of
money was left over night was de-
faced but not opened Other drawers
where store records were kept were
emptied in the floor, but nothing Of
value was found
Before entering the trap door the
burglars had bored fifteen or twenty
holes in the floor of the building near
the front of the store to effect an
entrance, finding an easier method
they evidently abandoned this and
made entrance through the trap door
The back door was found standing
open this morning by Dempsey Med
ford, manager of the Standard stores
when he and other members Of the
sales force came down to complete
arranging the stock for a sale the
Cogburn store has under way.
In haste, or in matter of courtesy
one of the burglars left his raincoat
with few cigarette papers in one
pocket as Identification. The tools
used in the job were also left, but
no information about their disposal
or resolution about that being the
last raid was found about the store
However, according to Mr.. Reynolds,
location is all that is needed to set
up decent mems shop with the
stuff stolen last night
All information and evidence that
could be furnished was turned over
to the local police headquarters this
morning and work was started mme-
diately to see if the burglars could
be apprehended.
The job looked like the work Of
professionals, who make such raids
and have regular channels for the
disposal Of their merchandise.

Woman's Club
Section Reviews
Stoddard's Book

HThe Revolt Against Civilization"
was the subject Of the March meet
ing of the history section. Mrs.
Hague's review of it showed thor
ough and comprehensive grasp Of
Stoddards point of view. She pre-
sented it to US clearly and logically.
"Civilization." she said, Imposes
an enormous strain upon those who
live in its midst and only the supe-
rior minds are able to endure this
strain. and to carry on civilization
at high level. Whenever the less
highly endowed take charge, as in
the case Of Russia, civilization i'm
mediately sinks to a lower level, and
the social fabric totters and falls.
BY "Iess highly endowed we mean
with intelligence, since that is the
Unborn quality whose capacity is de-
termined by heredity, and whose ed
ucation has given. them the right
knowledge which is the filing of the
mind. Since education is a bring
ing forth" of that which potentially
exists.
Mr. Stoddard gives "Eugenics" as
the remedy for our present ills, since
hereditv is now acknowledged to play

Marietta, March 14.-Manifesting
deepest appreciation for the sincere
ovation he had receibed at their
hands, William G. McAdoo, leading
aspirant for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination, bade goodbye to Ma
rietta, in Cobb county, this afternoon
at the end of what he described as
a perfect day"
Mr. NcAdoo left Marietta with the
good wishes of the thousands who
had gathered here to welcome him,
and with voluntary assurances of
their support. of his candidacy for

in company with seventy-fve or more
other persons, he visited the scene Of
his birth-an old colonial mansion
on the Powder Springs road, some
three miles from Marietta.
The visit to the McAdoo home
stead followed an informal luncheon
at the Marietta Golf Club, at which
the POSTMASTER, Judge n A. Morris,
called on a number of prominent
persons for expressions concerning
Mr.. McAdoo and his candidacy.
Tennessee Aid Promised
George F. Milton, editor of the
Chattanooga News, struck the key
note of the occasion with a declara-
ton that the Tennessee delegation to
the Democratic national convention
will be instructed for Georgia's ma

see also feels deep interest because
OF his long residence in Chattanooga.
Mrs. Edgar Alexander, Of Atlanta,
Chairman of the McAdoo women's
committee, told of the progress of
her organization throughout the state
and moved the diners to enthusiasm
with her prediction that the women
OF Georgia are overwhelmingly sup

HENRY'S BIRTHDAY

Henry Ford has a birthday this
motnh. On July Goth, Mr.. Ford will
be sixty-one years old. Probably
there is no man living who has had a
more interesting life. Certainly no
one individual has accomplished more
for humanity than has Mr.. Ford
through the medium of the Ford car.
Compare Mr.. Ford as referee at the
recent races in indianapolis with
Henry Ford, the daring race-track
driver of 1903. Even at that early
date, Mr.. Ford began to foresee the
future of the auto industry, and in
1909, he said: "The market for low.
priced car is unlimited. The car of
the future will be light as we'll as low
in price,"
Ford motor No. 100000 was
completed by the Ford Motor Co. on
June 4th, and still the wheels of the
Ford industries whirl busily in mad
effort to catch up with the growing
demand for Ford products.

FILM STARS SHOW
NATIONALIT Y BY
GEMS THEY WEAR

Thanks to. an idea sponsored by
Antonio Moreno, Paramount lumin-
ary, it is now possible. to tell the
nationality of many Hollywood stars
by their jewelry.
Moreno, while visiting gem brok
err, was interested by a yellow dia-
mond and blood-red ruby-the
colors of Spain, where he was born.
He had them made into ring,
which he exhibited proudly around
the studio.
Somehow, the idea appealed to
many, as Thomas Meighan is now
wearing a new emerald ring for Ire
land; Pola Negi a ring of white
diamonds and blue sapphires for
Poland, while Charles de Roche, a
Frenchman; Theodore Kosloff, Rus
sian and Victor Varconi, Hungarian,
are giving their jewellers order for
new stones. b.EcGrgpi - ~. 1

swept the factory.
Spontaneous combustion origi-
mating in the paint shop is be-
lieved to have started the

The blaze was particularly spec
tacular because of the fact that

pany, had been newly painted ant
burned rapidly.
Hundreds of early morning speeta
tors crowded close to the scene 4
watch the terrific blaze, which re
