The Gray Captain Is ON Guard, Sculptor
L14ke1uar11' New Stone Mountain Group
TO START WORK
OCTOBER FIRST
Famous Sculptor Estimates That
Group Can Be Carved With
in Two Years

Here are Jefferson Davis, Robert
E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson as
they appear in Augustus Lukeman's
design for the Central Group of the
Stone MoU3taIn Confederate Me-
mortal which was submitted to the
Board OF Directors at special
meeting held for that purpose in
Atlanta August 27. They approved
Il unanimously by rising vote and
instructed the sculptor to schedule
che commencement of work on the
Mountain for October l.
Mr.. Lukeman designed the group
IN. exact conformity with the CON
tours of the mountain and arrarg-
ed the figures of Davis, Lee and
jackson to fit into and utilize the
work previously done, which con-
sists almost entirely of rough ex-
eavation. His estimate is that the
group can be carved in two years.
In addition to the figures of Davis, !

design includes four Confederate
Generals who will ride behind the
flag bearers. These four figures
were tentatively laid in the design
and will be modelled to likeness
when the State Historians of the
Southern States determine who they |
shall be.
That Lukeman has done a magni- |
ficient piece of work, fully measur-
ing up to the high expectations Gre
ated by his success and fame as a
sculptor before he was called to the
Stone Mountain Memorial, is the
verdict not only of the Memorial
Directors. but of hundreds who
viewed the model when it was plac-
ed on public display.
Ones first impression is that Of
action-the wind blown capes of
Davis and Jackson; the fluttering
flags above the heads of the boys
who carry them so proudly; the
splendid, sweeping stride of the
horses.
But in moment ones attention
Is reverted by the faces Of the three
foremost riders = Davis, Lee and
Jackson. With a masters touch the
Sculptor has achieved in these por-
traits not only the likeness OF the
men they represent, but has wildly
and powerfully. portrayed their per
sonalities.
In the face of Davis, are written
the high devotion to principle, the
uathos and tragedy. the sacrifices
and martyrdom, of his career as
President of the Confederate States
Of America.
Lee dominates the central group,
"a he dominated the military opera
tions of the Confederacy. He rides
with that superb grace and skill
which were a part of his inheritance.

PARIS, September 19.-For
those who have been waiting for the
information, a leading authority in

declared, "we need not expect any
marked change in women's shape
this winter"
The women of Paris will persist
in keeping to the straight and slen.
dor line so becoming to the figure.
But as some changes must be made
the dress makers have hit upon the
expedient of trimming, the backs of
dresses which is quite opposite to
what they did last season. All sorts
of designs will be embroidered on
the backs of gowns.
Strange as it may seem, mittens
are coming back into fashion again.
Not in the quaint form that our
great grand mothers wore them, but
mace of thread or silk or both, and
as delicate is hair. They are made
in charming tints and have touches
of gold thread, pearls and small
precious stones woven into them.

delegates OF the French debt mis-

States with France Minister Gail
aux, was perhaps not chosen as
delegate fer that reason, but he is
generally regarded as having been
born under lucky star and to be
immune from consequences of shin
wreck or other disasters.
He was aboard the French aux
iliary cruiser La Provence the old
transatlantic liner, when it was
torpedoed in the Adraitic during
the war. He floated around in the
water several hours before he was
picked up and now is supposed to
live a charmed life.
Henri Berenger, ranking member
of the mission after the finance
minister, has to his credit as his la
test achievement the fact that he
struck oil in Southern France.
Berenger was petroleum com
missioner" during the war, a func-
ton in the exercise of which he
learned the vastly growing import
ance of petroleum. Soon after the
end of hostilities he organized the

ed over the impression che German
Chief Executive made upon the
people of Bavaria during the four
weeks vacation there recently.

the President, by showing his off

Washington and British Columbia bu reau of fisheries, but since the plan has been successfully demonstrated these bureaus are preparing to adopt the plan and coordinate with the To- cal bureau.
 At the present time rearing pool is being constructed by the State of Washington, the pond being ten acres in extent. Many prominent cannerymen are also thinking seri- ously of putting in their own hatch cries and rearing ponds, to insure a steady supply of fish.
 The growth of these fish in the Ketchikan pool was phenominal, those in fresh water attaining no growth to speak of in comparison with the salt water fish.
 Experiments in the Seward hatch cry will be conducted along these lines in red and chinook salmon, and if successful will insure a steady SUD- ply of fish from now on. A new practice will be put into effect in the territorial hatcheries that instead of releasing fingerlings, which are too small to successfully elude their enc mics, the fish will be held as long as possible, or until they attain a growth enabling them self protection. H. E. Ellsworth, local member of the commission plans to construct a pond near the road in the section near the old powder house, where these fish may be reared in salt water and can be viewed by the pub lie and a check kept upon their growth.
 With the coming appropriation it is expected to give aid to the Yu- kon and Tanana rivers this year by taking spawn from these rivers, matching them in the local hatchery and releasing them in the Fairbanks

Propagation Salmon q, Salt Water Has
 Prouen Successful

The theory advanced some time ago by the Territorial fish commits sion that humpback salmon could be propagated better in salt water is borne out by experiments conducted at the Ketchikan hatchery where salt water rearing and feeding pond was constructed. These fish were plac- ed in the pond on June 2, at maxi mum length of two and three quarter inches. Their growth was remark able, on August 21, the fish having at tained a length of eight inches at which time they were released in the ocean. Ten thousand of these salmon were marked on August 12, before being loosened, by one of the fins being cut.
 A portion of the fry were retain ed in the feeding pond and will be reared to maturity in order to dem onstarte that they can be success fully raised in captivity.
 The primary object of these rear ing ponds is for the purpose of pro- lection. Instead of releasing finger Iings the fish are retained in the pond until they attain a size which render them immune from predatory enemies. thus insuring less loss. An other object of the commission is that when there is a shortage of the fish or fry in one section, fry or eggs can be taken from one hatchery to build up another.
 The idea of a salt water feeding pond originated with the territorial fish commission in the face of seri- ous objection from experts in the

 Many improvements are contem- plated at the local hatchery this year, a barrier being erected at Bear Lake, stream clearing in the Knik Arm section, and stream clear ing in the Kenai lake district. An appropriation of sSO,oOO has been asked for, which will cover a period of two years.
