Tlifs appreciation, they feel, will iain be evidenced by the crowd which they confidently- expect will attend the Dupre recital. Dupre startled the musical woild in by his almost incredible feat, the first in history, of playing perfectly from memory the entire organ works of Haeh in a series of ten extraordinary recitals at the Paris Conservatory. This achievement won f.r the young organist the title of "the finest organist of his time." Dupre made his American debut in 1021, at the Wannamaker auditorium at New York. On that occasion he amazed and dumfounded musicians, critics and public alike by improvising an entire symphony in four movements, lasting thirty minutes, upon themes submitter! to him by six prominent organists only five minutes before. He has promised the local board that he will include one of these famous improvisions of his at hia concert here on February 18.

He gave OG recitals during his first trans-continental American tour, and musical critics in every city where he played united in acclaiming him a musical genius" unique and unap-proached in his own field of art. This was the largest tour ever booked for an organist.

II. Mc-Michacl, representative in the assembly from Marion county, Saturday gave out a statement in which he criticises the department for publishing the text of the majority report its official magazine, "Georgia Highways." Representative McMichael suggests that a new committee of investigation be formed by having the governor name two superior court judges "or good plain citizens," and asks that he be allowed to name two. These four would select a fifth, making a citizens committee of five.

Then, he says, he will submit "the records, facts and figures" and "if they do not find that my minority report is sustained by -the evidence submitted, I will resign my seat in the house of representatives." Mr. McMichael claims that the majority report in effect approved in toto everything the department was doing, branded him as "a liar," and that the present reorganization program in the department "is in itself a repudiation of these glowing compliments written by that majority, and a vindication at least a partial indorsement of my suggestions. "This is not intended now to criticise or fight the highway department in its efforts at reorganization," he continues, "but I do resent the fact that it broadcasted throughout the state in 'Georgia Highways' the majority report which branded me a liar at the expense of the taxpayers, without publishing my minority report especially since the members themselves, are now repudiating their undeserved compliments by treading along lines that I recommended. "The board has a new member, W. Anderson, of Macon, who succeeds Mr.

In discussing the subject Saturday, a prominent Atlanta business man said that it was a matter which should, on the face of it, be assured of heartiest approval from every loyal Atlantan. "To put it on a strictly financial standpoint alor.e," he said, "establishment ct this regiment here will mean the bringing of approximately 225.000 annually to' Georgia, a large proportion of which will, of course, stay right here in Atlanta. The pay of an infantry regiment in the modern national guard of the United States is about $75,000 per year for drill pay, etc. Then there is about $150,000 per ear for expenses of the linnual encampment, such as supplies, equipment, transportation, etc." It will rcouue an enlisted strength of about 1,200 men to form this new regiment, and with the present nucleus of about 400 in the nnits already here, it is be'ieved that there would be no difficulty in filling out the required strength, trticulnrly after local business men have been shown advantages to accrue to the citv. The uses of a strong na tionnl guard force are well known and self-evident.

Many tiimes they have proven their value to Atlanta, especially in the oid days when there was a larger force here. To cite only one striking example, it will be recalled what yoeman service they per-firmed in 197, when the great fire of tbat year swept its rath of destruction through the Boulevard district. Emergency IJiot Iftity. While it is hoped that Atlanta will never reed to tall for national to quell riots, it is pointed out that this possibility, no matter how slight, is nevertheless always present and it is too late to recruit a regiment after the rioting has broken our. A properly organized military unit, part of such an infantry regiment, would also be of inestimable service under any kind of epidemic.

The benefit to the individual minn'smnn by the training he receives in discipline, in organization and in physical well-being cannot be over estimated, it is pointed out. The tim required from his rezulnr work is so disht r.s not to be worth considerinz. For instance, during the past year, the local guard has onlv been called out for a part of one day, with the exception of public holidays. Members reported at the armory at 10 o'clock on the morninTthe day that Governor Trinkle. of Virginia, came here to take part in ceremonies incident to the beginning of sculptural work nt Stone Mountain, and were back at their pieces of employment by 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

It is estimated that, in sur-b a basis, there would be at least f00 additional guardsmen for th new regiment, and with the 4o0 already here, only 3G0 would be needed to mike np the regimental strength of 1200.
