On tlio university level only a half dozen schools remain open all others. including the famous old universities of Heidelberg and Freiburg, lying close to the French bordon, are ' dosed. Those students who have not been drafted for army duty?a very small number?may pursue their studies In so far as professors are available. ? Hoys drawn out of lite upper grudea of the German equivalent of high school to go to war and having only a few months to go to graduation were presented diplomas without tuking examinations. The'.technical schools?there are only two open out of more than a dozen?are Jammed with lads being hurried thru studies in all types of engineering, chemistry, and related subjects Important to the reich and its war. A handful of American students registered for doctorate work were advised to continue their studies In Switzerland because the laboratory space was needed for German students. The few doctors left for civilian hospital work have been forced to depend more and more on advanced students as assistants. One student, about ready for his interneshlp, said: "First, the resident physician was called to the front; then the resident physician's assistant went Into the field; and then his aide. . . Well, now I'm doulg tho diagnosing." Medical students about a year ago were put under the six-semester training plan instead of the usual eightsemester courso to remedy a physician scarcity in the reich. Now they are being encouraged to concentrate their studies even more. Death of Mrs. Dority I Mrs. Nlcey Elizabeth Dority, 78, died at the home of her son, C._ 3.

WWM??1 IITlM South Carolina's Clay Is Historic By Nell Fllnn Qllland c It may seem a far cry from Are . chluu to lusting road beds, but lite story <>r South Carolina earth runs from one to the other. Thin StaUo undoubtedly l?aa clay which might ^ have made It noted for Its porcelain. That uttiiiu clay ha# been used as the base for highways that have brought fame to the State. CI The first discoverable mention of South Carolina clay as having proved y fit for a king's dishes Is In 1753. That j year Dr. Alexander Garden, a Scot- . tUh botanist-physician of the Beaufort section, accompanied the party I Q of Governor Glenn to the Cherokee i country In the mountainous section of | r South Carolina. The governor "went I d to secure a treaty with the powerful i H Cherokees. The doctor, for whom the great Linnoaeus named the gardenia, went to study nature. ( As Doctor Garden browsed peace ^ fully around the countryside, proba- \ bly In Pickens county, he discovered c a fine clay. He managed to have some of this earth carried back to , the low-country on a pack horse and shipped it to the greHt pottery works > at Worchester, England. There It > was thoroughly tested and "deemed [ equal to the finest porcelain that ev- ( or was imported fj'om India". (Ham- j aay'B History of S.cC.) Unfortunately Garden's discovery t had been made exploring an unmap- t ped section. But even had he been' 1 able to give others the exact loca-1 ! tlon of the spot where he found the ( valuable earth, the Journey from the settlements along the coast was a { loug and hazardous one, on foot or on ^ horseback, over Indian paths. Caro- f Una planters were so prosperous with 1 their Indigo and rice, and so busy defending themselves against the Ipdl- , ana that the subject of clay was not , given much thought. 1 Evidently tho Interest of English { potters was more keenly alive to the j clay deposits in the young province i than its own citizens. The next re- ' corded shipment was In 1756, when 1 John Lloyd sent Carolina earth to his brother-in-law, Richard Champion, the first English potter. Champion's most famous work was "Bristol ( ware", then unique with Its raised white flowers and figures. The great Josiuh Wedgwood him- ' self decided to try his hand on Caro-(, Una clay. Accordingly he dispatched |( his agent, Griffith, under heavy bond, to Camden. From that vicinity Grif- , nth shipped Wedgwood quantities of earth, which the master potter used with success. It is quite probable , that some of tho old Wedgwood pieces of china, cherished for generations in a few South Carolina homes, may ( have been molded of Camden clay. Wedgwood so fully appreciated the value of South Carolina materials that he feared the supremacy of his Staffordshire pottery when he learned in 1766 that an English potter, Bart lam. was planning to establish a pottery works at Camden. Wcdg^ wood wrote that year to his patron, Sir W. Meredith. as follows: r l'ermit me to mention a subject I or public nature which greatly alarms ! us. '1'he bulk of our manufactures we export to tbe continent and islands 'or America. We send them an amazing quantity, onr home consumption in comparison is very trifling. \N o are apprehensive of losing this trade, as pottery works are set on tool in j Carolina, and they are at this time , hnme ,i number of our hands tor 'ho Ksiab,i>hnntit of these same potcrv 'weti.-i They ha\e every mate: nil tlnre. ><|u.il if n?"

This plaque is now in the National Art I Gallery. Washington. D C. English potters were not. however, the first to appreciate the clays n? ar Camden, if tradition can be trusted. 'About two miles southeast of Carni dent is I'aint Hill. There the Indians j are believed to have found different colored clays with which to paint their faces for ceremonial occasions. Bearing out this tradition Is the fact that -RUQAU WIDOW'S SECRET FORTUNE COMES TO LIGHT i *" Chicago, Doc. 1.?The secret wealth ?f a frugal widow who avowedly pent hur " declining days on the rlngo of poverty added up today to ho umazing total of $540,300. The central figure In the strungo use was Mrs. Jeanette Lincoln. For onio time before her death on Noember 15 at the age of fifty-six alio coined and boarded at the home of llstant relatlveu. She gave them $5 week. They believed she w?h poor. A week ago a safety deposit box vaa found. It contained $279,000 in 1,000 and $500 bills. In addition, a :5,000 checking account and a $3,300 avings account in her name were loated. Hut the full extent of her cached ichea did not become known until tolay, when a deputy clerk, round-eyed Hid breathlea^, dashed into the pro ate court and cried: Mra. Lincoln's attorney, Jurtios R. Bass, had found another deposit 'alut, It was crammed with $103,000 n caah and $150,000 in available sesurities. In it also were two wills. Roth vere drawn February 9, 1909.

A state department ofTicial says a leclsiou on whether the government v111 protest to the British and French or their blockade against German exhorts "would come late this week." Jewish leaders are hastening to renove possibly to overseas havens all hale Jews under 37 from the German protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia jefore the deadline February 28. Sweden has summoned an additionil 40,000 troops to man her garrisons n growing alarm over the Russo-Finllsh situation. The Swedish kingdom iow has 150,000 men under arms prepared for any emergency. What gums up personal budgets Is yearnings outstripping earnings. the place is still called Paint .Hill. The kaolin deposits In the hills just west o^Alken were first appreciated by Richard McNamee, a canny Scot, who bought the property. Two aid granite millstones remain there to suggest the method of pottery making formerly used there. Aiken's kaolin has been shipped to Belgium, to England, and to Limoges, France, and transformed Into delicate china. Kaolin, a fine white clay used In making porcelain, is still a valuable export?or was before the present European war. South Carolina is second only to Georgia in the United States In its kaolin deposits. Though the only noted.pottery made in South Carolina is that of the Catawba Indians, the fine clay has not been wasted. This state has decided to let somebody else make the china.

Good Livestock Care Is Needed In Winter Winter calls for good care of livestock, says County Agent W. C. McCarley, making these suggestions for December: Animal Husbandry?Graze hogs on winter forage, barley, oats, or rye. See that the beef breeding herd has enough cheap roughages and cottonseed meal to prevent loss of weight. Give sheep one-half pound of grain and all the hay they will eat. See that all classes *, of livestock have shelter and bedding and provide extra bedding during cold snaps. Hepair fences during spare time. Kill bogs for home use. Dairying?Protect dairy cattle from direct drafts and from rains. Feed good quality roughages, preferably silage and legume hay, to the limit of milking cow's "appetite. Feed grain in proportion to milk* produced by each cow. Give ,dairy cattle accesR to pure fresh drinking water. Watch calves for lice.. Produce quality products. Keep rest barns well bedded for a big supply of manure. Poultry?Make the poultry house free from' drafts. Examine the laying flock for lice and mites as an infestation of either will lower egg production. Feed grain liberally to keep layers In good flesh. Get brooding equipment in order.
