 When she regains consciousness, the girl finds herself in strange sur roundings. A French maid calls her Alva Copeland and Madame Copeland, a tall. richly gowned woman. claims her as her step-daughter. Sallie dis covers that she has fallen into the hands of crooks who are substituting her for the real Ava Copeland.

kOf the mountain. The depth will be
Horty eight feet and the height of
the ceiling will be forty feet.
Thirteen incisions will be made

When Memorial Hall is finished,
the Association will invite all per-
sons having such relics to donate

the hall for perpetual safe-keeping
Esplanade Planned
Across the entire front of Memo
rial Hall will run a broad esplanade
formed by cutting a notch or shelf
in the face of the mountain where
it curves down toward the base. In
the center of the esplanade direct
~ in front of the entrance will be a
gigantic bronze urn with an incense
lamp which will be lighted with ap-
propriate ceremonies when Memo

crate military unit in whose mem
ory it was erected. The tablets will
be uniform in size and design and
will be twelve by twenty inches.

the granite. In this vault will be
fitted bronze chest, and in the
chest will be deposited a duplicate
of the Confederate roster of the
Confederate state to which that
window is dedicated. Thus will be

On the right Of Georgia Hall will
be a wing Of exactly the same di-
mensions as Venable Hall, and the
name Of this is yet to be decided

gestion has been made that this
right wing be called Borglum Hall,
in honor Of Gutzon Borglum. the
sculptor.

center Of Georgia Hall will be an
immense brass star and similar
star will be sunk in the floor Just

Octopus Uses Ruse to
Kill Foe in Aquarium

Brighton, England.-An octopus and
a cormorant were kept together in a
huge glass tank at the local aquarium.
They became firm enemies and spent
most of their time fighting-the cor
morant using his bill and the octopus
his tentacles.
Finally, the octopus, overcoming tire
mendous water pressure, pulled out the
plug from the bottom of the tank and
let out six feet Of the eight feet of wa
ter in it. Then he let the plug slip
back into place.
Next morning the cormorant
swooped down for his morning dip. The
usual battle began, and when things
became too hot the colmorant, also
as usual, made for the floating plat
form moored to the side of the tank. It
was hanging six feet above the water
line; and before the bird could leave
the water it was dragged under and
killed.
