Young Men in
Auto Wreck

Glenn Alexander, Joe and Duffy
Tow, Frank Taylor and Hugh Elcain, all
OF Oconee, were in an automobile wreck
near the Cateechee Mills, in Pickens
county, last Sunday. AS result of
the accident Glenn Alexander died Mon
day evening about O'Clock at the home
OF citizen of the neighborhood in
which the accident occurred. No min
ute particulars were obtainable by us
as to the cause of the wreck, but our
informant stated that it was ascertained
that at least some Of the members of
the party of five young men were drink
ing. The five young men we're all res
idents of Oconee
Glenn Alexander, who lost his life,
resided in the Lays Mill section. He
is survived by wife and two children.
The two Tow youths are residents of
the Bethel section.
Hugh Elcain resides, we are inform
ed, in the Flat Shoal community.
Frank Taylor's place of residence was
not known to our informant. who had
been in Pickens county, and saw the
body of Alexander after he had died.
He stated also that Frank Taylor's
cordition was regarded as very serious
indeed. but that he had been taken
to his home. Taylor, it is said, was
driving the car at the time of the ac-
cident. The car was making fast time,
ran into ditch or gully and turned
over twice before the mechanism was
entirely put out Of commission and the
body of the car brought to Il standstill.
All of the members Of the party were
more or less injured, but it is under
stood that the two Tow young men and
Elcain are not considered to be very
seriously injured

WHEN MONEY IS MUTILATED
How Government Official at Washing

liable Bits Of Paper

Have YOU ever wondered what be-
comes OF the torn old and mutilated
money, and how people are paid for
their loss by partial destruction Of
their @soney? An interesting depart
ment Of our government takes care
Of all cases and Mrs. Brown Is the
expert In charge, having received her
appointment from Grant in 1876 Bits
Of paper that have been rescued from
fire sufficient to prove that once they
were money; the remains left by mice,
water, mold, threshing machines; all
are studied and identified If possible.
Each mntilated bill is pasted onto pa
per Just the size Of n complete bill.
A piece OF glass the same size, d.
vided into 40 squares, Is placed over
the bill, and If the experts find thnt
the remnants Of the bill fill "a squares
they recommend that the bill be re-
deemed at It's full value. II more than
two-fifths and less than ce-fifths Of
the squares are filed, one-half the
value Is allowed. Any less than two
ffths is seldom redeemed without fur
thcr proof of the mutilatiOn. Mrs.
Brown has In her Office copy Of every
bill issued by the government, which
greatly aids in Identification.

Marie Joseph Coutant of the quaint
little village Of Louatre, near Soissons,
the daughter of Monsieur Coutant, once
comfortably situated mechanic of
Louatrc, is shown above with her right
arm missing Because Of the fact that
the Germans attended the celebration Of
her eighth birthday. On Marie's birth
day her mother and herself, along with
several other refugees from the threat
OF the Hun at scissors, were swarming
into cattle cars that were pressed into
use In the emergency, when n German
incendiary bomb fell among them,
killing her mother and making herself,

FEAR FRENCH TANKS
Machines Spread Terror in
Ranks of Foe.
Armed Car Helps Is Yanks 20 Cap
ture 700 Huns In Recent
Drive.

With the American Armies.--Greater
laurels daily are being won by the
French light tanks which are cooper
ating with the American forces in
pushing the Germans back toward the
Rhine.
Among the many individual feats Of
the tanks and their drivers which have
come to light, one Of the most interest
ing Is that Of Brigadier Cellier, who
has been decorated with the cross Of
the Legion Of Honor for his work in a
light tank which enabled Is American
soldiers to capture 100 Germans.
Several hundred Of these tanks led
the countcr-offensive from the Yillers.
Cotterets forest in July, which marked
what appears to have been the turning
point of the war. They broke through
the enemy's lines, destroying his ma
chine guns, overcoming strong centers
Of resistance and spreading panic and
decentralization in the German ranks.
Where the infantry was preceded
by the "chars d'nssaut," as the French
call them, the advance was three miles
day.
1t was these same French light tanks
which preceded the Americans in their
advance upon Juyigny and Terny on
the scissors plateau. One of them,
manned by Il lieutenant, killed more
than 200 Germans on the plateau.
Documents that have come into the
hands of the French staff show that
the Germans arc greatly worried by
the light tanks and are studiOusly
coaching their men in methods of de-
fense against them.
The light cars have the advantage
or greater speed and of being more
easily handled than the heavier tanks.
Ihey require a crew of only two men,
driver and a gunner, and carry one
one-and-a-half-inch gun and machine
gun.

so THEY GAVE THEM TITLES
How ShreWd German Government
Played on the Vanity Of Disgrun-
tied Employees.

The Germans, when addressing one
another. use titles to an extreme
which we should regard as belonging
to the realm of comic opera. They
have been reared to honor and love
titles, and they devote themselves to
the cult With amazing wholehcnrted-
ness.
One case, by no means exceptional,
Will Illustrate the Hoint, D. Thomas
Curtin says in Munscy's Magazine. A
few years before the war the drafts
men OF the imperial navy yard at
Kicl became dissatisfied and demand
cd more pay. The government met
the situation with Il refusal to grant
their monetary demands but laid be-
fore them compensatory program Of
social advancement.
After n definite number Of years n
craftsman would be permitted to use
the title kcnstruktionSrat (construc-
tion councllor.) Another period OF
years, and he would become gchcimer
konstruktonsrat (privy construction
councilor). Another period, ana he
would be wirklich gcllcimer kon-
struktionsrat genuine prlvy cOnstruc-
ton councilor). In addressing him

WHY :==,=====-
Transatlantic Flying Will
Never Be Easy

In a paper read before the Institu-
tion Of Engineers and Shipbuilders in
Scotland l.. Desbleds explains some of
the advantages and difficulties of
transatlantic flying. With regard to
the former, the carrying Of the mails
In quarter Of the time Mt present
needed for the voyage between Amer
lea and Britain would, In the authors
iopinion. be Of immense benefit, rs he
considers that the correspondence Of
"a country may be taken as n measure
,of its commerce with other nations
and the accelerated rate Of exchange
of correspondence would renct upon
commerce and shipping.
Coming to the problem OF carrying
mails across the Atlantic, Mr. Des-
bleds considers that existing knowl-
edge OF airplane construction and pro-
,pelling machinery only allows Of such
flights by reducing the strength Of
the machines employed to far below
that OF the airplanes now In use CON
sequently those undertaking the pas
sage would run grave risks OF coming
10 grief on the way. Some particulars
Of an airplane for flying the Atlantic
are given In the paper, the proposed
machine having weight by itself Of
about four tons, which is doubled by
the addition Of fuel and stores, while
