Clark COthrnn Minter Graduated from
Johns Hopkins University.
Clark Cothran Minter, grandson of
the late j. r. Minter was graduated
from the Johns Hopkins University,
at Baltimore, on February 20, with
the degree Of Doctor OF Philosophy,
according to a message received by
his uncle, E. p. Mintcr, OF this city.
Mr.. Clarke Minter Is well known in
I.aurens. where he has spent some
time.
Mr.. Minter's record at the Hopkins
has been rather phenomenal, having
completed a three-years course in
two years. Graduating from Davidson
college, the alma mater of his dcccas-
ed father, one uncle and two brothers,
with the degree Of b. s. in May, 1913,
and A. NJ. in May, 1914, he took up

have been recorded in scientific his
tory and which have made him quite
a name among the chemists of the
country. His special work secured
for him an appointment as a Carnegie
Research Fellow and as assistant
professor Of chemistry in that de-
partmcnt OF the university. He will
assume those duties March lst.

HOW SUBMARINES OPERATE.
BIG Picture nt Idle Hour Next We'd
ncSday Shows Surprising Spectacle.

"Civilization,' Thomas H. Ince's
million dollar film spectacle which
comes to the Idle Hour Theatre on
march 10, is remarkable for the fact
: that 1t presents on the screen the first
filmed record Of how a submarine op-
crates when attacking a big steamer.
1t was through the instigation of
Mr.. j. Parker Read Jr., Mr.. Thos. Fl.
1nce's personal representative that
tho United States government agreed
to cooperate In the taking Of this por-
tion Of the ''Civillzation" film. 1t Is
customary for the navy in It's quarter
ly off Point Iona, San diego to use
for target practice an old discarded
steamer or freight vessel. Mr.. Read
agreed to furnish the battlcship seen
In "Ciyilization". for this puprosc, and
on behalf Of Mr.. Incc to pay for the
expensive torpcdoes and shells used in
the fray. The government agreed to
furnish two battleships, two torpedo
boat dostroycrs, one cruiser, and two
submarines, the latter being OF the
Fl boat class.
The battle as fought for the movies
actually lasted q minutes. There
were 600 shots fired by United States
jack tars and soldiers, to say nothing
of another 600 shots fired In the air
for the most part by the hired motion
picture soldiers. or the 600 real shots
fired by the United States navy men,
each one carefully timed and placed,
--ninety-twO per cent were effective.
which Is record Uncle Sam may well
be proud OF.
The sinking OF three enemy ships
takes place In full view OF the audi
encc, and one boat Is blown 800 feet In
the air, while all about the sea is tor
tuned into thousand seething spouts
by the bursting shells.
