‘Swear Off’
This being New Year's Day—and
Saturday, and the first of the month
~—each one of the 800 prisoners at the
Federal Prison near Atlanta was given
a bath. Then each one was given a
new, clean uniform.
New Year's resolutions were plen
tiful among Warden Zerbst's guests,
Among those having the most sign
ers were:
“I will not stay out late at nights.”
“I will abstain from rich foods, the
ater parties and champagne suppers.”
“l will take exercise, plenty and
regular,”
“l will use rigid economy in trav
| eling expenses.”
‘ These differ from most Ne® Year's
resolutions in that they will be ob
!served.

bers of dancers and all that sort of
stufll. Quite jolly., And Mr. George
was most obliging. We're strangers
here, doncherknow. Weren't long.
Mr. George introduced Mr. Welsh
and myaself 1o & numbdr of his ac
“Quaintances—stunning girls, lovely
'dnnran_ quite adorable
And Mr. Welsh danced until far
after the midnight hour. Seemed no
end of mesh with those pretty At

Don’t Miss Borglum’s Great
Story of Stone Mountain
UTZON BORGLUM is the distinguished American seulptor
G who has been selected to chisel out of that massive block
of granite known as Stone Mountain, near Atlanta, the
marching hosts of the Confederacy, headed by their great gen
erals and statesmen, into a gigantic memorial surpassing all
ancient and modern monuments. Read his story in The Sunday
American to-morrow,
This is a beautiful and uplifting narrative—a surpassing
evidence of the patriotism and loyalty of the South—and a glo
rious recital of Dixie’s still living love of the Lost Cause.
The article, splendidly illustrated, will make two full pages
in The Sunday American.
