islature to the people of Georgia at six
public meetings to be held during

ties. A program for the public meet¬
ings has been given out and is as fol¬
lows: Macon, April 14 to 15; Gaines¬

Interest Manifested In Grand Opera
Atlanta, Ga.—South-wide interest
has ben aroused in Atlanta's ninth an¬
nual season of Metropolitan Grand Op¬
era, which is to be held April 21-26, in
the immense Auditorium-Armory, in
the Georgia capital. Never before in
the history of the event have so many
reservations been made by people out¬
side of Atlanta; and in many cases
those who have bought tickets are |
coming for the first time. From Bal¬
timore to New Orleans, and from Mem¬
phis to Miami, the demand has incre|
ed day by ’day. The hotels of the’ ci
have already received an avealanche
of reservations, and it will be tfeces
sary for those who intend coming to
opera to engage rooms early in order
that choice locations can be secured. [
Of course there is always room for the
latecomers, and those who decide to
come at the last moment can secure
some kind of accommodations; but
those who have a favorate hotel had
better begin to make reservations now.

erratic gusts and apparently caught
the airplane with full force of tile
current in such a way as to lift the
tail vertically into the air.
