CAN'T ALL BE COLLEGE MEN
Pithy Remark Credited by Andrew
Carnegie to self-Made Man With
Limited Education.

Andrew Carnegie, complimented one
day at his Scottish castle on his gifts
to the cause of education, said to a
young lady:
There's nothing so pathetic as the
self-made man who is conscious of his
lack of education. These poor fellows
seem to think that everybody is edu-
Gated but themselves.
"Once, in a smart New York res
taurant l heard man with a diamond

German CamoufIaae.

A British air officer, writing from
the western front, says that the Ger
mans have this spring brought cam
outage to a state of artistic perfection
that is almost incredible. The most
expert and highly experienced airmen
are often deceived even when flying
low" he writes. "As a first step, the
German military authorities sought
suggestions from the most distin-
guished German artists in color. AS
next step, every available man was
turned on to the business of carrying
out the artists ideas. Miles of canvas
painted to look like roads were con-
strueted, under which regiments could
march without being seen. Paper en-
campments were improved and aero
dromes, woods, villages and factories
of purely fictitious character were
set up merely to distract observers and
to cover the movements of troops and
guns, Nothing on so vast a scale has
ever been attempted before"
