Atlanta, Ga, April 22.-Atlanta is
alive with musical fervor. Its annual
festival of grand opera has started
beginning last night in a blaze CT
glory. 1t sounds Atlanta-like to say so,
but it is true nevertheless-the
greatest vocal musicians of the gem
Grafton, and the greatest musical or
ganization of this or any other pre-
vious day in America, the Metropoli-
tan Grand Opera Company, is Gin

This week is going tao be. Judging
CT the plans under way,-a weekk of
unprecedented musical enjoyment and
of social entertainment. The hotels
are filled and Atlanta's streets are
swarming with music lovers from the
four corners of the south, and many
from distant points in the north, east
and west. OF course, the big majority
of Atlanta folk, who are nothing if
not hospitable. are devoting themsel-
yes to the entertainment of the visi-
tors and business might as well go
hanged.
The opera last night was Veri's "The
Force of Destiny" and it proved to be

The demonstration in favor of in

all towns and villages throughout

orderly and limited to the delivery

took a distinctly revolutionary

SPY IN ATLANTA PEN
ATE TOO MUCH SOAP

Atlanta, Ga, April 22-Atlanta has
just learned the reason of the suppos-
I'd Hines of Franz Won Rintelen. the
convicted German spy who hsare-
Gently arrived at the federal peniten-
tiary here. Won Rintelen, who, is
seems, had Il deep-rootcd aversion to
the Atlanta federal prison, acquired
an illness that puzzled all physicians
who were called to see him at the
Newark N. Jn Jail. He became thin
and emaciated and J, slight frOthy
foam was emitted from his lips. Some
thought he had tuberculosis and
others admitted it was Il quee rcase
all around.
And so it was. for accident disclos-
ed later that Won Rntelen had been
collecting all the soap available from
his fell@W prisoners and was eating
it by the pound in order to conVice
physicians of his serious illness. But
the unpalatable meal was in vain, for
still spouting bubbles, Won Rintelen
was shipped south.

SAVINGS IN SOUTH
SHOW LARGE GAINS
FIGURES ARE COMPILED IN AT
LANTA IN CONNECTION WITH
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS PUR-
CHASED WHICH GEORGIA PUSH
ES.

Atlanta Ga, April o. The south
has increased its per capita savings
As per cent during the last four
year, according to figures which have
just been compiled in Atlanta An in
teresting feature of the report is the
comparative statement showing that
the southern states, which for so long
have meekly borne aspersions of inn
providence and wastefulness, have in
creased their savings in four years
just four times as much per capita as
some of the larger eastern and New
England states.
The figurese given show, however
that Georgia and other southern stat
es will have to speed up i'll its war
savings stamp Investments if it wants
to rank along with other sections and
states, as all other states in the east
and west and north exceed the south
in per capita war saving stamp pur-
chases.
Ivan E. Allen, state director Of the
War Savings Organization, and Wal
ter G. Cooper, vice director, are CON
fident, however. that the state of
Georgia will materially increase its
per capita stamp purchases within the
next six months, as the new plan of
educational instruction and the i'm
proved facilities for securing the
stamps will make it easier for the
people to buy, not to mention the de-
sire of the state to show its patriotism
and redden its pledges for the pur
chase of War Saving Stamps.
