RESUME WORK ON
HUGE MEMORIAL
STONE MOUNTAIN

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 21.-(By the AS
sociated Press are
nearing completion for the resump-
tion of work on the Confederate
memorial monument on the east side
of Stone Mountain an undertaking in
terrupted by the world war. Gutzon
Borglum, the sculptor, who was en-
gagged by the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, under whose auspices
the monument is to be hewn out of
the face of the great monolith has
already returned to Atlanta and is
shaping his plans to take up the work
where it was left off when Uncle
Sans demands incident to Americas s
entry into the world war temporarily
halted completion of this memorial to
the heroes of another day.
Mr.. Borglum is having a specially
designed lens ground for the projec-
tion of figures of increased size
against the side of the huge mass of
granite, by means of which with a
powerful light photographs of models
may be thrown against the face of the
mountain in great sizes.
Such methods have never been used
before, according to the sculptor, who
has gotten down to the actual work
of drawing in the groups of heroic
figures to be carved out of the side of
the big rock. The work of projection
has to be done at night, he said. bus
added that it is practicable. "Why
| told the scoffers they could project
pictures on Mars. if they could get n
powerful enough light" he said.
Carving will begin either at the
head of General Robert E. Lee or
that of President Davis, but it has not
been settled which.
A crew of men have been at work for
several weeks extending the scaffold.
ing to the point on the mountain side
where will rest the principal group,
and various electrical and compressed
air apparatus also has arrived and is
ready for installation, Mr.. Borglum
said.
The project calls for the carving in
bas-relief on the nearly perpendicular
side of Stone Mountain of a colossal
monumental panorama to commemo-
rate the heroic deeds of the Confeder-
ate armies. This side of the noun
tain affords space for a mile or more
of gigantic sculptured figures of men
and horses, fifty or more feet in
height, with all the paraphernalia of
war.
The mountain side and an extensive
tract Of land on the plain at the base
of the mountain to provide a ma
tional park. from which to view the
achievement when completed, have
been decided to the Daughters of the
Ccnfederacy.
Stone Mountain is Is miles east of
Atlanta 1t Is said to be the largest
solid granite monolith in the world
rising CSC feet shove the surrounding
plain and standing a dome-like mass
of solid rock, seven miles in circum
| ference.

bers also among the men at work in
other railroad departments and they
too would be out on strike if a ma
jorlty of the workers in those de-
partments had not been under thu

 Obstacle to Success

 Jones' route was a standard-length one of 25.5 miles out of Burlington, and since 1901. when he was appoint ed he has missed only four days from the job. and those because of illness.
 So interested were Post Office De partment officials who only recently had his case called to their attention. that Assistant Postmaster General Billany wrote him letter of con- graduation for his efficient service performed in spite of a physical de- feet that well might have discoura ged a person of less fortunate tempera- ment. and with less determination to succeed in life" Before becoming a letter carrier, Jones was a farmer.
 "It seems to me" MT Billany wrote MT. Jones, that your success may be not only interesting to all carriers, but an ins~ ration to any one who may feel that he is lahoring under unusual or insuperior difficulties and an encouragement to them to press on in the performance of duties which choice or circumstances may require of him.
