The line was ragged, from a military standpoint, and salutes were not as snappy as they were in ’64, but the spirit was the
same at the Soldier's Home in Atlanta last Monday when General Julius Franklin Howell, National Commander-in-Chief of the
United War Veterans, of Bristol. Va., visited the home on an inspection trip. The General is shown, in the top picture, inspecting (left
to right) General J. R. Jones, State Commander; M. C. Dupree, L. J. Snellgrove. H. T. Dowling, J. A. Skelton, and J. T. Pittman. The
Monday visit to the Home was part of a Georgia visit made by General and Mrs. Howell.

with hot water. This is done by
heating a vat of water to 126 de- i
