WHY NO NEWS IS BAD
NEWS IN FRANCE.
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,

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

teach him by mail for 3, 4, or 5
months or longer( as long as the
student desires), after which the said
student goes to Columbia, enters the
departments of the college and completes
the course thoroughly under
the direct supervision and guidance
of experienced instructors. Under
this plan, the scholarshins arn ennd I

for instruction both BY MAIL and at
COLLEGE, and after studying by

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. Today the French
peppered away at this supposed battery
and fired 172 shots before their
aviators could tell them that they had
been duped."
