Will Irwin, special correspondent for The American Magazine, contributes another war article to tthe January number. Its title is "Hats Off to France," and in it he tells of the courage and thrift of thte French and their stoicism under the pressure of great grief. In the following extract from the article he tells of the suspense endured by families in getting the news from their relatives at the front: "Unlike Germany and England, France does not publish death lists. Any relative of a French soldier may register at the Mairie a request for news of the worst. Each French sollier goes into action with a numbered tag of identification about his neck. When he dies in, action or in hospital, this is taken from him and compared with his number in the official lists. From the military government in Bordeaux to his own district thte news goes by post. Waiting for the mails is anxious business in these days! There are places along the great lines where the piled up dead German with French lie rotting, because no one can reach them under the steady fire of the guns All along, of course, the Germans as well as the French have been burying the French dead. And the Germans send back 110 tags to Bordeaux. "Thauch mails arn not i?n nil in or voir. O? ? * ? "b *vt> ularly from the front, though in certain places where the military situation is delicate, privates are forbidden to write at all, most soldiers manage by hook or crook to send letters home. When the letters stop?the family fears the worst.'* * * * * SPOTS BEFORE THE EYES. The prevalence of this condition has given rise to a great many curious ideas. Almost everyone either sees .? fixed or floating spots at times, or hears some friend complain of these conditions, so that it is not strange that many popular misconceptions have arisen. The commonest form of floating spots are those which are known by the name of muscae volitantes, an old name which indicates how long the condition has been observed. These are tiny transparent chains, or strings, which are seen especially on a white or brightly illuminated field. They persistently float in the line of vision, and though a shake of the head may carry them out | of the way, they at once float back again. These spots are probably caused by the remains in the fluid part of the eye of certain cells which should have been completely absorbed in the development of the eye. They never lead to impairment of vison and as before stated, are perfectly transparent. Oother floating spots are due to cobweb-like masses of inflammatory material which are thrown out into the fluid of the eye by some low} grade inflammation. These spots usually obscure the vision, which is their great point of difference from the former ones. It is, of course, very important to find out in any case whether the spots are due to inflammation, or not, and this can only be done by a skilled observer. It is a prevalent idea that the wearing of a doted veil may leave permanent spots in the field of vision. While the dotted veil may be a source of strain by causing the wearer to pull on the eye muscles in ord.v to avoid the obstruction to vision, it certainly is. not the case that the dots, or any other object seen, can be permanently photographed on the nerve tissues of the eye. There is only on eexception to this statement A/1 I- ?-I i i . . miiny peupic who nave carcicssiy ioou od too much at the sun, generally in observing the eclipse, have actually produced a slight inflammatory change in the retina, so that there is always a blurry spot wherever they look. Hut it is doubtful if any light less brilliant than the sun can produce a permanent spot and certainly a dark object can not do so, j rLr.rgcsl Crop C. S.

O BIG BUSINESS COLLEGE, SPECIAL ANN9UNC Largest and Best Known Instit Most Liberal Offer to Y In keeping with the spirit of times, the management of Draughon's Practical Business College of Columbia, S. C., (one of the chain of big Draughon Colleges located throughout the Southern and Western States) announces four (4) money saving plans for 1914, to young men and young women planning to enter College in January. While the majority of small business colleges are no longer able to accept cotton at ten cents per pound in payment of tuition the Big Draughon College of Columbia is con J.^ -a j.u*_ i.? ? -'? - HIIU1M& ia? uuer liiis ten cent cotton plan, and also announces that notes, payable one year (or longer,) from date, will be accepted in payment for scholarships, while the temporary period of business depression continues, in fact this institution is extending to its patrons throughout the State the most liberal terms and conditions with reference to manner of making tuition payments. Following are the four (4) plans of enrollment offered: 1. Cotton Plan?Cotton will bo accepted (strict middling) in payment for scholarships and ten cents per pound will be allowed for it. One 5001 pound bale will pay for a $50 complete scholarship in the Bookkeeping and Banking Department of Draught on's College or a complete scholarship in the Shorthand andTypcwriting department. Two such bales will be ac cepted for a combined Scholarship of both Bookkeeping, Shorthand and aux iliary studies. 2 Cash Plan?Where the student enrolling pays cash for scholarship, a "War Discount" of $10.00 will be allowed and Railroad fare of the student to Columbia will be paid by the College. This is equal in every way, from an economical standpoint, to the cotton plan olfered above, and will only remain in force for such a limited time as in the opinion of the r?lln,ro ?i. iiKumgciucilk (Jicouut I'AIMIII^ conditions may justify. 3. Note Plan?If the student wishes to give a note, payable a year (or longer) from date, for the full price of the scholarship, allowing sufficient time for the student to complete the course, accept a position and earn the money with which to pay the note before it falls due, the regular catalogue price is charged for each scholarship, which is a few dollars higher than the cash price. Where 30. 60 or 90 days notes are given, no difference in price is charged. Many students enter Draughon's College each year under this note plan, and complete their course, accept positions and earn the money to pay their notes before they fall due. If you are interested in this plan, write for special note plan blank which gives full information. 4. By Mail Plan?Any young man or young woman can purchase a Draughon Scholarship for the Bookkeeping and Banking, or for the i Shorthand and Typewriting course,' and pay for his scholarship with cot-j ton( on a basis of ten cents per; pound), with cash, or with an ap-1 proved note. The student can then remain at home, and the Colleen will AVIATOR SHOT TO PIECES. | "Most Beautiful Shot of the War," Says German Artillerist. A German artillerist, writing from Bapaume, France, tells of the death of a French aviator, who was brought down by German gunners. "Today I saw a French aviator brought down by our guns," he said. "The French flyers had been growing bolder and bolder, especially in reconnoitoring behind our front, and so we concealed a half battery of howitzers in a village about four miles to the rear in order to teach them a lesson. Things happened as we expected by 8 o'clock in the morning there came an aeroplane, sailing along with the greatest assurance in the world. The guns at the front were not permitted to fire, and after passing them the aviator, thinking all danger past, kept coming lower and lower, reach ing nnaily a level of only about 1,000 feet. Not suspecting that he would encounter German artillery so far to the front he came within eosy shooting distance for our gunners in the village. % "Suddenly two shots were heard and two little white clouds were observed in the air not far from the aeroplane. The aviator remained virtually at the same spot until he was almost enveloped by the next two clouds; one shot exploded just in front of him, the other just behind him. Our men had gotten their range very quick ly. Then followed two more shots one a little to the right, the other jusl to the left. As through mv tick jilassovs tho aeroplane seemed to wavei as if it had been damaged. It did no1 seem to obey its steering gear, for ii could not get away from the spot. "The next two shots, fired almosi simultaneously, settled its fate. Th< other was a square hit, and the ap pr.ratu.' was scattered to the foui winds. 1 have i.ot seen svr i a 1> u r.i "-)iole war.

Under this plan, the scholarshins arn ennd I A O ^ for instruction both BY MAIL and at COLLEGE, and after studying by mail as long as desired the student enters the institution to complete the work on the same scholarship, with out any additional charge whatever, Full information and testimonial letters from those who have actually uodn popuui oq ||iA\ utqd sjq} posn request. Write for them. The above plan (No. 4) will especially appeal to many young men and young women throughout the State during the coming year, because many can afford to purchase a $50 scholarship, for cash or with cotton (at ten cents), but do not feel able or willing, under the conditions now existing, to undertake the monthly board and living expenses which attending a college certainly makes necessary. While progress is not so rapid in taking lessons by mail, the saving in board and living expenses means a great deal. After taking the Home study lessons, a student should be able to go to College, complete the work thoroughly in six to eight weeks and accept a position. Individual letters from those who have used this plan during the past year is the best proof that you can use it too. Write for full details. After the European war has closed and business conditions have adjusted themselves and become normal again, this entire country will experience the greatest and most prolonged period of prosperity and business expansion and development that it has ever known within its history, and opportunities of rapid promotion and advancement in business, for those young people who have the necessary training and are prepared, will be more plentiful than have ever been the case before. The far-sighted young man is already realizing this and is making plans, if he has not already made them, to secure a thorough and practical business training so as to be ready for the opportunities which every big banker and business man will tell you are sure to be so plentiful. Parents who are now planning to place son or daughter in Business College, or young men who look forward to preparing themselves for successful business careers, and wish to economize as much as possible, should write for full information concerning one of the above plans. Money saved is money made, and Draughon's training (endorsed by Bankers and Business men everywhere) and the Draughon's Business College (the largest business educational training institution in the State) need no introduction to the public, the superiority of the course of study and the greater facilities for securing positions for students being well known. | terward from a wide reach of ground I but of the aviator, only a few bits of him were found. "Yesterday," the letter continued "we set up some boards in an aban; doncd position to resemble a ?rur. j shield. Then we sawed off some logs | and painted them to look like cannon I muzzles when placed in position between the boards.
