Gainesville, Ga.—Mrs. Jesse Fol¬ som Stockbridge, State Press Agent of The American Legion, in collabo¬ ration with the past department com¬ manders, is writing a history of the Department of Georgia, The Ameri¬ Legion. This history will contain complete biography of th# heroes “Founders' Rotl” tablets belong¬ ing to Georgia members at the "Founders' Roll” will go on the walls of Georgia Hall. There will be spaces for’ something over 540 Georgia, tablets. “Founders’ Roll" tablets belong¬ ing to members of the "Founders’ Roll" of the other Confederate states will go in the wall spaces op¬ posite the windows. Each window will be dedicated to a Confederate state, and each erf these states will hare 118 spaces for "Founders’ Roll" tablets. - • Founders' Roll” tablets belong¬ ing to U. D. C. chapters and Ladles’ Memorial Associations will go on the two *eBd walls, the places of special honor, and there will be spaces for 571 of these.

According to this authority the in¬ crease in savings deposits during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1923, amounted to $1,041,583,000, which, if distributed among the population of say one hundred millions, means a saving during that period of $10 for every man, woman and child in the country. On the above date total deposits in banks of the nation ag¬ gregated the huge sum of $18,878, 062,000. Annually there is published at Washington by the government the report of the Commissioner of In¬ ternal Revenue. From the report re¬ cently issued for the year 1921 it appears that wages and salaries in that year comprised approximately three-fifths of- total incomes in that year, while business, partnerships, etc., accounted for less than one sixth of that income. Figures are in¬ teresting, and for the purpose of visualizing the importance of the re¬ port, and demonstrating the relation between wages paid and profits de¬ from business, the following table is given. The sources and the derived by the internal revenue department from each the Confederate soldier or Confed¬ erate 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. Above the entrance on the out¬ side will be cut the name “Geor¬ gia” in the granite. Above each window will be cut the name of the Confederate state to which that window is dedicated. Above each window inside of the hall will be a bronze tablet, very large, bearing the names of the governor or governors of that state during the war, the state house of¬ ficers during that period and a sum¬ mary of the Confederate troops fur¬ nished by that state. Underneath each window inside of the hall will be cut a vault in the granite. In this vault will be fitted a bronze chest, and in the ohes'. will be deposited a duplicate of the Confederate roster of the Confederate state to which that window is dedicated. Thus will be preserved for all time the names of all men who served the Confed eracy insofar as such a record is in existence: A similar vault will be provided for Georgia’s- Confederate in a suitable place in Geor Mali. source were: Wages and salaries $13,813,169,065 Business 2,366,318,610 Partnership etc. 1,341,186,308 :/ 4 *. : } /. jtfc /£ r P > « / I L i , < m i j. i 4 I i t l f i i i i r i' 1 ■ i Roof aemletf tight above thia notch -tV v Automatic spacing .Jj See thiS’“soli<I” roof of Individual shingles Do you know that you» can lay an individual shingled roof that is “solid” above-lhe butt-Hne?

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 tv 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¬ rial Hall is dedicated and kept for¬ ever burning.

Much greater quantities of granite were removed in a number of railway tunnels in the Rocky Mountains. An amount of granite equally as great, if not greateT, was removed' in cutting the tunnel of the Geor¬ gia Railway and Power ‘Company’s hydro-electric plant at Tallulah Falls in North Georgia.
