! Anderson College.

On Saturday afternoon the Ander-
son College Alunnae association held
its regular meeting at the home Of
Yrs. James P. Kinard. Several inter
esting topics for discussion were
brought forward by the association,
chief among which was a course of
study for the coming year. 1t was
finally decided to study Great Artists
of the World" and to begin with the
Italian school.
The idea of cooperating with the
College association in the proposed
educational bazaar which is to be held
in Anderson the last week in February,
was also discussed and definite plan
for helping was decided upon. The
alumnae Of Anderson college will
have a booth at the bazaar, will dec
oratf it wit. college emblems and will
supply it with fancy work. After the
business session Mrs. Kinard served
a delicious sweet course with coffee.
Those present were Miss Margaret
Clinkscales, president; Mrs. James p
Kinard, Miss Lucille Burriss, Miss
Elizabeth Lawrence, Miss Leota
George and Miss Eunice shealy.
The senior class was most delight
fully entertained at dinner Saturday
e7ening by Miss Stranathan, head Of
the department of voice, who is spon-
sor for the class of 1916. The table
was gay with the class colors, laven-
der and white, and with bowls of vio-
lets and pots Of white primroses,
which further carried out the color
scheme. The place cards, which were
made by cleverly attaching kodak
picture of each guest to the figure Of
some popular advertisement, were a
great source of merriment After a
delicious five course dinner, an even
ing rare enjoyment for the class Of
1915 was concluded with the singing
of class and college songs.
After a hard fought game, the bas-
ket ball team was defeated by the
Wcman's college at Due West last
Monday by score of "a at 21. Sew
enteen rooters accompanied the team
on their trip and all were royalty en-
tertained at the college. On Monday
next the Due West team will play a
return game here.
One of the most enjoyable events
of the winter term was the lecture
given in the college auditorium Mon
day evening by DR.. John E. White,
under the auspices of the Lanier Liter
ary society for the benefit of the
library of the society DR.. Whites sub
ject, "Sidney Lanier," was most inter

Hvpnotlzina Animals.

Hypnotizing a hen is a trick known to
most country boys. It is an old expert
ment, first described by the Jesuit ia
ther, Athanasius Kircher, who laid a
hen on a table, held it firmly for lit
tie while, and drew chalk line IN
front of it's eyes, with the result that
it remained as if in catalepsy.
In India it is known that a cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remain so
for a considerable time. A frog fas'
tened to a board and turned suddenly
upside down goes into trance.

same is true Of the fresh-water craw-

Among the insects "death-feigning
is common, and is often means OF
saving the life of the insect.
The hypnotic condition is Induced
in man by suggestion of physical in
hibition but in both cases sensatory
stimuli may assist. These stimuli may
be optic (fixing the gaze on some OBJ

Oils own LAWYER,

over and over again, the wisdom
Of the adage, "A man who Is his own
lawyer has a fool for a client" and
the understanding that inspired the
injunction physician, heal thyself,'
are established in the courts. Every
lawyer is familiar with many instances
IN which the Wills Of distinguished
iurists have been set aside because
they were improperly drawn, and it is
a matter OF pretty common knowledge
that few doctors can diagnose their
own ailments.
Another eXemplilcation now ap-
pears in the conflict about the will of
the late DR.. Austin Flint. He was,
perhaps, more frequently employed as
an expert witness as to testamentary
capacity than any other alienist in
the country Question of mental fit-
ness, of intent, of motive and of the
other attributes of a "sound-disposing
mind" were before him constantly,
Yet his drew his own will so ambigu-
ously so obscurely, that his executors
have been compelled to invoke the aid
of the court TO determine what the
learned testator meant.-Richmond

RAVES ABOUT OUR GARDENS
Writer Says They Are so Ravlehlns,
so sunlit, Astounding In Fresh

II can't cay enough in praise OF the
American gardensl I think | should
rave about them n ever let myself

are rayishlng 80 sunlit, aboundmg IN
freshness and beauty DO you realize
that they are so brilliant that ] can
never show paintings of American gar
dens IN the same room with English
gardens, because they make them look
quite dreary? Their one fault is that
there Is often too much statuary IN
then, and too much OF II irrelevant.
Frequently too, they are not rambly
enough, and seem a little seli-con-
scious. In English gardens small
stones mellow with years are used,
and the furnishings add that warmth
which breeds intimacy II is the in
formal garden that attracts the artist,
In England these abound with their
winding paths passing through uneven
hedges of many varieties of flowers.
That uneven hedge, flashing forth
vivid colors, one seldom sees IN Amer

ing climate and the vogue Of a more
formal arrangement. Ethel r. Pey

Many people cannot understand why
it is permissible to use water for ex-
tinguishing some burning liquids, and
not for others. For instance, water is
effective for extinguishing burning al
cohol and acetone, but quite the re-
verse in the case Of gasoline or oil.
The difference lies in the fact that wa
ter mixes readily with the first two
liquids, while gasoline and oil do not
mix with water, but float upon its
surface, and are thus scattered over
large area. However, the applica-
ton of very large quantity Of water
to a small quantity of burning oil may
aid in extinguishing the fire by its
cooling influence.

NAV Revoiutlonize River Trafic.

The first self-propelled freight barge
designed to carry heavy cargoes OF
freight on the Mississippi river, is Wis
iting all the large cities from st. Louis
to New Orleans. It is known as Inco
|, and is the first of a S9,O00,O0O fleet
being built
The barge is 43 feet wide, 240 feet
long and is propelled by four S0-horse-
power gasoline engines. It has
capacity Of 1000 tons. It is believed
the new type of barge will revolution
ize freight traffic on the Mississippi
river. Similar barges have been put in
operation recently on the Warrior riv-
er, in Alabama, hauling coal to the sea
board at an extremely low rate

Archer's Advantages.

The eye cannot, of course, follow
the progress of bullet, and the rifle
man may miss his game by the meas
ure of one foot or five, yet never know
the amount OF his error. But the flight
Of the most swiftly sent arrow may be
easily followed, and close miss
gives the shooter a self congratulatory
thrill almost equaling the happiness
of a center hit. There is a gratifica-
tion in watching a shaft flash past
the head of a justly indignant, much
astonished squirrel And there is real
excitement, too, in watching a steel
pointed arrow leap into the blue, there
narrowly failing to intercept that ro-
que of the woods, the heavily flying
crow. The archer's great advantage
rests in the comparative silence with
which his hunting may be carried on.
A shot means the soft twang Of bow
string and the low whisper of an arrow
and these sounds seldom greatly
frighten game.-Outing.

tory Results.

The use of motor trucks and ar
mored automobiles has already been
demonstrated in actual warfare, but
It remained for the American troop
ers chasing Pancho Villa in Mexico
or guarding the border, to demon
strate the feasibility of putting ordi
nary touring cars to military use.
A few days ago a touring car wat
driven north of Columbus, N. NJ, by
United States artillerymen. A ma
chine gun was mounted in the ton
neau and targets were fired at with
the machine travelling and at a stand
still.
The test was reported to be very
successful. II was found that a tour
ing car was fully as logical and as fea
sible as a truck for the purpose. The
demonstration proved that the vibra
ton Of a gun being fired does moi
swerve the aim a particle. In fact
the car barely is shaken. The objee
tion to cramped quarters was also con
clusively dismissed when it was showr
that four men could ride comfortably
in the car with gun.

Every owner of an automobile is
interested in keeping down the ex-
penses of his car, especially those
items of replacement of parts. A good
modern automobile is designed with
built-in adjustments and facilities for
fabrication which permit its being
maintained for many years with little
or no care outside Of periodical in
spection.
"The manufacturer guaranty is

The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1916-06-23

said a man prominently identified with
the automobile industry. Time, speed
and direction are all controlled by
the man at the wheel and no matter
whether the objective point is one or
100 miles distant, he can go when he
pleases, as he pleases, and no ., he
pleases.
"Tbe automobile has developed all
classes of transportation. Street cars,
railroads and boat lines all travel
over fixed routes and their running
time depends on the schedules
mapped out for them.
Miss a train, and there is nothing
to do but wait for the next one. You
are governed entirely by the time
table. A motor car puts you nearer
in time, to your train, no matter
where you live. With a motor car,
YOU can take a short cut and speed
up, if necessary, to keep an appoint
ment or make a train connection. You
are the master and the car waits for
you and, after pressing the starting
button, you can go as far and as fast
as you please.
Fifteen years ago the horse and
railroads were depended upon almost
entirely for transportation. Then the
motor car began to forge rapidly to
the front as a means Of carrying peo-
pie and merchandise and it was not
long before it had relegated the horse
to the background.
"The automobile, more than any 9th
er transportation agency, has brought
city and country together. It is the
only thing that has made suburban
life away from the railroads possible.
Where the railroads touch only the
high spots of civilization, the motor
car weaves it's way among farms and
villages in the most obscure parts OF
the world.
Motor cars have quickened the dis
tribution of farm products and have
increased the radius of the merchants
delivery system. Travelling statesmen
now find it possible to double their
territory and cover the ground in one
half the time it used to take them
with horse and railroad facilities.
ON fact the automobile has been a
boon to all mankind and if any one
class has been benefited more than
another, it is the farmers. This is
especially noticeable since the small,
light, economical car has been per
fected, as is shown by the increasing
number of our new light models that
are finding their way into the rural
districts.

He had told her kindly that there
was little bookkeeping TO do, he could
run typewriter himself and had
planned 10 start out on an economical
basis. Airline had told him that she
required a very small salary as her
father had left her an investment In
the city which brought her cash
return each six months. She would
grow up with the business; she could
surely be OF some service TO him. and
Sidney hired her.
Since then he had been glad OF II.
Airline proved a treasure, She took an
interest in every detail OF the busi'
ness. She seemed happlest when the
work was hardest and most pressing.
The man from whom Sidney had
purchased the plant was wealthy, Sid
ney wondered II he could not get him
to help him out. He went late that
afternoon to his home. TO find that
he had gone to visit farm he owned
at some distance and would not re-
turn until the following evening.
Was It fate, or did a sense Of re-
gard for Airline, the longing Of a lone
ly, troubled man Influence Sidney to
lessen his pace as he neared the
house where Airline lived? She hap
pened to be at the gate He was glad
to be invited into a coy parlor Ar
line was cheerful anxious to enter
tain him. A little elf OF a fellow-her
cousln-prattled about Arline's pet
carrier pigeon.
"She sent II away today" he con-
fided to Sidney, and Airline flushed
hotly and had to explain that II was
through this medium that she regu-
larly corresponded with very dear
girl friend in the distant city.
Sidney met with a severe disappoint-
ment the next evening when he called
on the man from whom he hoped to
secure loan. The latter had no
ready funds. Sidney longed TO stop
for another pleasant evening at the
home of Airline, but II was late as he
reached the house. He passed rest
less hours alone at home and conse-
quently oversight himself the next
morning.
What is this?" he voluntarily ex-
claimed, as entering the office the
first thing that attracted his eye was
a signed receipt in full from the Biggs
firm.
"Mr. Biggs left it," explained Ar
line, and flushed and paled, and began
to tremble.
"Why, I don't understand this!"
"I paid IT," confessed Airline, al
most pleadingly ooh, Mr.. Walters.
don't be cross about it, please! l
overheard you talking aboutsquick as
sets. sent a quick message to my
friend in the city and got my invest
ment changed into a certified check,
and the carrier dove brought 1t safe
ly here, and I paid Mr.. Biggs," and
Airline broke down there under the
intense strain of the moment. The
astonished Sidney stared at her, spell
bound.
Airline had saved the day, Airline
had won the heart of true man. And
the outcome of the episode was life's
noblest. most treasured asset-mutual
love.

"Impossible."

for a mere song. He purchased It,
He paid cash for his machinery out
fit and overbought as to raw mate
rial
1t was with a great sense of COM
fort that he finally opened the little
factory, giving employment to some
20 men. Expenses and wages were
low 1t was true that Acton was 20
miles from a railroad. 1t did not even
boast an automobile. The town was
isolated--shut in to itself-but once
a week slow numbering side-wheel
steamer came up from the city with
passengers and freight and took back
the product of the plant, packed in
neat boxes, not many of them, for the
points brought high price, were man
ufactured under an exclusive patent
and sold readily.
Sidney had settled down to a hum
drum routine, glad to be apart from
the jar and hustle of the city. He
figured out a growing business based
upon light overhead expense. His
help was not overworked; he was
modest in his style of living. He
brought work and comfort to many
poor workman. His ambition was
satisfied
And now, suddenly, terrifcally
alarming, came the advent of Biggs.
Many a time Sidney had realized that
he was straining his credit, but the
orders ahead were sure future in
come. The plant and equipment rep
resented solid values. He had not
been business man enough to compre-
hend that the ironclad rules of busi-
ness demanded quick assets that could
be swiftly realized on in case Of
exigency.
Mr.. Biggs left for his hotel. Sid
ney sank into chair dejectedly. He
caught the echo of a sob in the next
room and went to It's open doorway
and peered in. His Office girl sat
leaning over her typewriter, hand
kerchief applied to her eyes.
"Will you please let me go home,
Mr.. Walters?" pleaded Airline Tracey.
"T-I have dreadful headache"
Surely" acquiesced Sidney. Some
thing has come up where we will sus-
pend business for day or two"
He watched her dainty form and
colorless face sadly as Airline left the
office. It was of her and the work
men he was thinking, II he had to
give up business what would they all
do. For the girl he had always felt
a great interest She was an orphan,
living with some relatives in the vii
lage and had come to him asking for,
employment the day the plant had
opened
