CAN'T ALL BE COLLEGE MEN
Plthy 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 n
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.

German Camouflaee.

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
taht is almost incredible. "The most
expert and highly experienced airmen
are often deceived even when flying
low" he writes. "As first step, the
German military authorities sought
suggestions from the most distin-
gulshed 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
strlcted, 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

BEER NOT ArEMPERANcE pRINK

Alcohol is alcohol, either In whisky
or beer. II is nonsense to claim that
beer is a hygienic drink. 1t is drunk
chiefly for its alcoholic effect, and II
the alcoholic effect is produced, the
danger of alcohol exists. Any one who
doubts that beer can produce certain
form of intoxication need only visit
the saloon and watch the beer-drlnker
in various stages Of befuddlement or
excitement. If beer does not intoxi'
cate or produce any alcoholic effect,
what becomes OF the "racial craving
Of stimulants" which 1t is said TO sat
isfy? Furthermore, heavy beer-drink'
ing, ms In the case of brewery em-
ployees, adds the danger Of excessive
fluid intake, entirely apart from alco'
hol. The heavy mortality Of brewery
employees is sufficient evidence that
beer, so far as its effect on masses OF
men Is concerned, is not hygienic
drink.-Eugene Lyman Fisk, NJ. d., In

The cavalry corps stood in support

two British armies and organized the
ground from Mont Cassel to Mont
KENNEL, while the French army
moved up behind It. AS the French
Infantry came into line the cavalry was
drawn off to the left In the
Mont KENNEL region, and for five days
the horsemen, fighting afoot with two
infantry divisions, withstood the ter

to good, healthy lungs and vital capac-
lty, the would'be pilot must pass u
breath-holding test. This gives an in
dication Of his capacity to stand the
strain Of flying at high attitudes,
where the air is rarehed and breath
Ing Is difficult. No man with n weak
heart can hope to pass the tests.
Self-balanclng Is another test. The
candidate has to stand on one leg with
his eyes shut and his hands on his
hips. There Is also the old test for
sobriety-walklng n straight line heel
to toe with eyes open and then turn
Ing round and walking back without
losing balance. The importance of
this test can be understood, seeing
that an aviator flying in dark cloud
or in fog becomes unconscious Of his
position and sometimes the machine
Is actually upside down. 1t is essen
tial that he should not lose second
In recovering his balance.

great strain that all flying imposes.
With regard to the eyes, 1t Is consld-
cred that pilots should have perfect
color vision, In order to pick out the
color or marking of hostile machines,
and In recognizing signal lights and in
judging the nature of landing grounds.
Air Sickness Rare.
A candidate who suffers from sea-
sickness or train sickness would not
be rejected on those grounds alone.
Air sickness, caused by the rolling and
pitching of the airplane, is very rare
complaint, and sickness usually occurs
Immediately after landing.
An unstable nervous system suggest

feet or face, or biting the nails Is q
poor recommendation.

shlngton.-Skillful use Of French
cavalry has marked General Foch's
tactics ever since he took over control
Of the allied armies as supreme com
mander, according to Information
reaching military circles here. The
horsemen have played an important
role in the whole bnttle Of 1918 as
the struggle which began March 81
with the first German drive has come
TO be known.
The employment Of swlft-movlng
columns In the present counter-stroke
from the Aisne-Marne line has been
noted in the dispatches. Again Cen
eral Foch took advantage Of the great
mobility Of the mounted arm to throw
II in wherever his advancing infantry
units threatened TO lose touch with
each other In the heat and confusion
OF the contest. No gaps have been left
where the enemy might strike back,
for always the horsemen came up to
fiji the hole until the infantry line
could be rectihed and connected In n
solid front.
The same tactics marked the first
use of French cavalry in the battle Of
Plcardy, when the French took over
50 miles OF front from the British
TO permit the latter to mass reserves
Mt seriously threatened points Of the
line farther north.
Cavalry Fights Afoot.
A French cavalry corps complete
with light artillery, armored cars and
cyclists arrived first on the scene In
Picardy and relieved the British. They
fought It out afoot until the heavy
French infantry arrived and took over
the task.
Three days later the horsemen were
on the move again, this time hurrying
TO the front, where the enemy was
hitting hard at the Lys line. The cav
airy rode hard as the advance guard
Of the French infantry columns march

that the bought perjurers who crowd
courts and make justice impossible, can
be secured from any nearby saloon.
The up-to-date barroom, whether we
