some ways at the mercy Of any one
who wishes to attack us.

Germany's success in Russia would

Separate peace would mean Germany

London, April 2S.-Germany is
draining the empire Of men to throw
against the onrushing waves of Brit
ish and French.
Information via Holland indicates
that the German military is max
ing a desperate attempt to check the
steady entente advance because Of
the growing discomfort in Germany
manifest in strikes and peace propo-
ganda, dissatisfaction over the
shrinkage Of rations and agitation
for greater political participation by
the people.
Indications are that Germany Is
opposing the British and French
with greater numbers but this only
makes the advance of the entente
slower. The French and British are
preparing for another gigantic at
tack soon.

Two Crossings Across Lynchs's
River Accepted

The following letter was writ
Ten last W. dnesday by Acting
Highway Engineer Murray to
County Supervisor E. r. Knight
IN regard to decisions as to loca-
tions for highway crossings over
Lynche's river between Chester
field and Lancaster counties:
After due consideration of the
proposed routes between Ches-
field and Lancaster counties, we
have decided. after taking the
matter up with Lancaster coun-
ty, and considering their wishes,
as well as those of the people of
Chesterfield County that the
proper place for the bridge on
the road between Lancaster
County, Pageland and Jefferson,
is Cooks Mill, and that for the
road between Jefferson and Ker
shaw, we will use Threatt's Mill
as the crossing of Lynche's Riv-
er for this road.
trust that this arrangement
will be satisfactory to the peo-
pie of your county as we'll as
those of Lancaster, for with the
limited funds at our command,
1t seems TO me that this is the
best arrangement that can be
made.
l am sending copy of this let.
ter to Mr.. Wallack, Editor of the
Jeffersonian, Mr.. Tucker, Editor
of the Pageland Journal, also DR..
CAN'T OF Jefferson, as l am su1e
that these gentlemen are very
much interested in knowing the
decision of the Commission in
regard to this matter.
Very truly yours,

have been placed IN jeopardy
by reckless automobiles, self
ishly regardless of the safety of

threat. as anyone who tests the
matter will find to his sorrow.
things have come to a pretty
pass when a law abiding, tax

HOUSEHOLD HELPS
Holy to Light Your House "DiFerentIy"

WE are all fairly agreed that the pleas
w autest light is not the direct glare OF
gas, oil lamp or electric bulb over our eyes
but what is called the indirect or Semi
Indirect" forms of lighting
The indirect lighting" is the system
whereby the electric bulbs are kept in an
inverted Opaque bowl, and as the direct
rays Of the bulbs are thus thrown upward
there is no glare on the eyes, but the light
is gently suifused about the room from
above,
TIte "sem-indrcct" system of lighting
is somewhat similar, except that the in
verted bowl is not SO opaque. but permits
some light to be reflected downward.
The most common ttpes of glass bowls
used for this purpose are the white compost
tiUn glass familiar to us all, But there are
some novel IDEAS i'm these bowls which are
especially adapted 10 the home and which
may find more favor with the hOmemaker
than even some of the beautiful white ones,
because the latter are Identified In many
peoples minds with commercial lighting
OF course, the commercial bowls are stand

use are usually more ornate and beautiful.
Now however, we see that we can use
many other STYLES Of bowls" in this way.
one of the prettlest effects seen IN one
home was simply brown wicker basket

silk This was suspended from the ceiling

10 the city living room These brown
wicker baskets are not expensive, and one
clever housekeeper bought basket Of the
required size In natural color, and stained
and lined it herself For the country cot
tage where there is electricity this is most
appropriate and lovely.
Another unique effect was seen in a very
beautiful home where japanese furnishings
and colorlug prevailed. Instead OF the con-
ventonal china bowl for the electric bulbs,
a gay parasol with a long handle was used,
THE parasol was suspended from the ceiling
by what looked like a wide ribbon, and in
which the electric wiring was cunningly
concealed Two or three tiny parasols werei
placed horizontally near the wall over the
wall sockets and the whole effect was eX-
ceedlngly novel and pretty
Very often some unusually lovely ideas
are developed by getting away from the
usual lamp and lamp shade ideas and
adapting something entirely different. Thus
In one home very unique blue lamp was

She saw a large vase with an eight-inch
opening that was the exact shape she
wanted So she promptly bought it, filled
it with plaster Of paris, and had the little
base 10 contain the lamp burners set in
this. Then she found some blue cretonue
to match her blue vase. and made lamp
shade herself to match it, and she is eX-

it is easy to match the pattern Of the
