one side of this, rounding the mono
18th, will appear the other force
headed by brilliant group of horse
men, consisting of the figures Of Lee,
Stonewall Jackson, "Jeb" Stewart,
the Johnstons, and probably other
great Southern leaders of the COS.
This granite army, carved in full
relief. will extend across the side of
the great rock for roughly 1000
feet. The horsemen will doubtless
average between As and so feet in
height although these and the for
mer figures are merely approximate
estimates. There will be altogether
some 1900 separate portraits, ach
uniformed in the gray of the gran
lite. 1t is possible that nearly all OF
these figures will represent men whc
actually worked for the South. The
work will thus be of sufficient sizt
to be visible a distance of seyera

HEALTH ORDINANCE
 UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Lawyer P. E. McDoDough So De-
 ClareS and Files Demurrer

Attorney P. F. McDonough, de- lending Mrs. Mary Wisk, charged on two counts With violating a health or dlnance, appeared before Judge James I. MeSklll in police court this morn ing and filed a demurrer to the com plalnt and then argued at length that the amendment changing section 373 or the ordinances is unreasonable and unconstitutional and such that if en- forced would make no person in the GUY free from prosecution and con- viction. After hearing all the argu- ments, Judge Meskill took the de- murrer and continued the case until next Tuesday morning.
 Mrs. Wisk is charged with keeping a store at 53 Broad street where con- d1tlonS are not "clean and whole- some and with allowing meat and food to remain there that is not WholeSome. She at first pleaded gull ty, put when Lawyer McDonough saw that his client was to be prosecuted under section 373, he withdrew his plea and filed a demurrer on the ground that the complaint was in- sufficient in law. Prosecuting Attor- ney G. w. Klett argued strictly on the wording of the complaint, declar- ing that the first count is unques- tionably sufficient.
 Ordinance Unconstitutional.
 In his argument, Lawyer McDon- Ough took exception to that part of the ordinance amendment which reads that food for human consump- ton must be Securely" protected from flies, dust and dirt, and "rea- sOnable' means must be taken to pro- tect against all other foreign pollu- tiOn.- Lawyer McDOnOugh insisted that by the word "securely" the amendment means that all flies, dust and dirt must be positively kept from the food, and this is a physical inn possibility. Even the element of req sonability does not enter into this section of the ordinance, he argued, for in the next statement it states that all other "reasonable'' means must be taken to protect against other forms of contamination. This is an un- reasonable and impossible ordinance and there Is not a meat dealer in the city, in the state or in the United States who could not be prosecuted and punishment, for it is physically impossible to Securely protect against flies, dust and dirt" said the lawyer. He furthermore declared that this ordinance must have been
