duma was constructed and 700 extras
were secured for the assembly of SOL

eetting mostly Russians for the scene.

Health in City and Country.

Are city dwellers less subject to dis
ease than the country bred, after all?
Statistics from the cantonments seem
to show it, and an editorial writer In
the Journal of the American Medical
Association suggests that although the
city may harbor more disease germs
than the country the dwellers in 1t may
have become comparatively immune.
It is we'll known that the natives of
remote islands to which the diseases
of civilization" have never penetrated
are ravaged by them to an unheard OF
degree when they are introduced by
the white man. Possibly rural dis
trict, though inherently free from dis
ease, may for that very reason yield
more rapidly to infection when It
comes. Study of conditions such as
these, the writer notes, has been great
ly facilitated by the existence Of large
bodies of men mobilized in army
camps subject to systenatized medical
supervision which has furnished
unique opportunities for gathering sta
tistics on an unprecedented scale.

EASY PICKING FOR SCOT SMAN
canny Individual Right in His Els-
ment in German Prison Camp
Got All the Money in Sight

A Scotch corporal was appointed Dy
the commandant to look after our
boots and to serve our soup. His
name was Allen, hut we called him
"Steamboat" for short Steamboat
Immediately began a siege upon the
affections of the German nurse who
had charge of the officers mess and
our fare began to improve.
He stole beef and potatoes for US
and schnapps for himself. Steamboat
was not the only one who was steal
ing. There were a few tons Of po-
tatoes in the basement and a guard
would take fatigue down OCCASION
ally to pick out the rotten ones. They
spent most Of the time putting good
potatoes by a window for the Bel
gians and invariably came back up
stairs with their breeches legs flied
with the best. These were boiled and
issued through the ward at night You
can imagine what a row there was
when an inspector went down and
found the basement innocent of pota-
toes.
Steamboat had with him crown
and-anchor board, a great gambling
game of the British army. He soon
found when the Germans would get
their pay and made plans accordingly.
He spread his board on table and
began rattling the dice in tin cup
and with familiar accents began spiel
ing. "Old Joe, the man with the
dough-" IF you don't speculate you
can't accumulate" speaking in Eng
lish. The German walking wounded

pfennigs and won. Rhett came in for
a little loss. The night nurse tried
her luck and it was bad. In a few
minutes play was in full swing and
they were almost fighting for standing
room about the table. In two hours
Steamboat had all the money. Crown
and anchor became an institution,
with Steamboat winning at nearly ev-
cry session. With this money he
bought vile German cigarettes for
his comrades and wine for himself.

Miss Cleckley in Charge of Infirmary

Another change necessitated by the
enlarged enrolment at Carlisle this
year was the securing Of a nurse to
have charge Of the inflrmary. up
to this year, Mrs. Beach has been
looking after the sick boys in addi-
ton to her work as matron, and she
served the school many years faith
fully in that capacity. But the large
number of cadets this year made the
burden too great, and Miss Mamie
C. Cleckley, of Aiken. was secured to
take charge of the infrmary. Miss
Cleckley has had several years of ex-
perience as a nurse in the hospital in
Aiken, as we'll as in private families.
She is starting off the new work IN
earnest, and will doubtless prove a
valuable friend to the boys when they
are sick. She will give her full time
to looking after the cadets in the in
firmary.

Girl Advertises for Oates"

An advertisement which, the adver-
tising department of Columbia univer-
sity's daily newspaper, Spectator, says
is the legitimate appeal of a young
woman, appeared recently in the pub
lication as follows:
"Are you bound by convention? A
Columbia girl from out of town, cul-
tured, we'll bred and fairly good look
ing, wishes to make the acquaintance
of several men in order to be intro
duced at Columbia functions. She is
entirely unconventional and is willing
to meet the men half way by paying
all expenses. Strictly confidential.
Address B SO, Spectator"
The students who publish Spectator,
the New York World says, profess ig-
norance of the identity Of the young
woman or whether the number 80 had
any reference to the age or figure of
the advertiser.
Hundreds Of masculine students are
awaiting replies from her, the adver-
tisement having been well answered.

Whether or not the movement met
with your hearty approval when
started, you will have to own up that
the white way" looks mighty good.
In fact, it is great advertisement
for the town. Columbia, Augusta nor
Charleston has a better lighted busi-
ness district than Bamberg has. A
passenger train passed through town
when the lights were first turned on,
and it is stated by those around the
station at the time that the people
looked out the windows as if they ex-
pected to see the town burning up.
It appeared to be a matter Of consid-
cradle wonder that little burg like
Bamberg. should have such a bril-
liantly lighted street. No doubt those
people had a very favorable impress
ion of Bamberg.

frmary.

Our battalion band, now, to use the
correct words, is beginning to get
started. Three or four new selections
have recently been added to it's reper-
toire. and the battalion is beginning
to hear strains of other pieces besides
the "Star Spangled Banner" The
boys are still toiling hard at daily re-
hearsals, and, as result of this, their
tone quality and execution are i'm
proving immensely. Every man in
the band is convinced now that the
worst has passed, and that now, since
they are really beginning to play, re-
hearsals will be much more fun than
they were, when scales and exercises
occupied the hour.

Wireless Works Best by Night

As result Of certain observations
made during the solar eclipse Of May
% last, further evidence is forthcom-
ing with regard to the phenomena OF
day and night wireless signaling.
Under normal conditions the wire
less station at Meudon, Paris, Is un-
able to receive daylight signals from
Ascension island, but can do so during
the hours of darkness. During the
eclipse, which was not visible in
France and only partially visible In
Ascension, special tests were made be-
tween the two stations, and it was
found that while the moons shadow
passed between them Ascension was
quite audible at Meudon, the signals
failing as the shadow passed away.
This may be taken as, additional proof
that the increase in the distance at
which a given transmitter is able to
affect a given receiver as a result OF
nightfall, is due to the diminution OF
the effect of solar radiation on electro
magnetic waves.

Carlisle Laundry Begins Operation.

Perhaps the matter of chief inter-
est and Importance during the past
week was the completion of the Car
Isle steam laundry. The work of
installing the machinery was finished
on Thursday, and on Friday the laun-
dry opened it's doors for business
and business was rushing. The ca
diets, many of whom had been unable
to have sufficient laundry done, liter
ally stormed the entrance.
The laundry fills long felt and
growing need at Carlisle. Since the
student body has become so large it
has ben practically impossible to Sc
cure washerwomen to do the work,
and, as Bamberg does not afford a
steam laundry, the school authorities
realized the necessity of installing a
plant of our own. 1t was hoped that
the laundry could be ready by the
opening of the session, but a good
deal of delay was experienced in Sc
curing the machinery and having it
installed.
The plant is modern in every re-
spect. 1t is designed especially to do
the school work, and no machinery
other than what is needed for this
work has been installed. But every
machine is of the latest improved
type, and turns out the work rapidly
and splendidly done.

In a statement in the daily news
papers, an official of the Antl-saloon
League denies that the league has
any intention of waging campaign
against the use of tobacco, as mas
been currently reported. This Off
cial states that the circulation OF this
report was made by the liquor inter-
ests in an endeavor to poison the
league in the minds of the people, and
adds that the entire purpose of the
Anti-saloon league is to consistently
fight liquor as. long as there is a
drop manufactured for beverage pur-
poses anywhere in the world.

The news print scarcity Is very
serious matter with newspapers, es-
pecially the weeklies which, neces-
sarily, buy in small quantities. To
give some idea of the situation, The
Herald has bought a small supply of
paper within the past week or two,
for which eight. and oneAhalf cents
a pound was paid for part and nine
cents for a part, with the present
quotation even above these prices.
The paper The Herald is being print
ed on now cost four and one-half
cents. A few years ago the standard
price of news print paper was 2.65
per hundred pounds, in ton lots, and
cheaper still in larger quantities. Not
only is the price exorbitant, but it
can scarcely be bought at all. About
three weeks ago we found our supply
would be exhausted about January
1, and Immediately sent in an order
to our house, but we received the re-
ply that not a pound could be had.
We finally managed to buy small
lot from another house, which put
US through an emergency. Various
measures are being talked Of to pre-
vent news print famine. The Her
aid has never wasted paper, and we
really know of nothing we could do
to reduce our consumption of paper
other than to shut down. The re-
duction in consumption will have to
be started i'm the big Offices that use
thousands of tons, and use it very
recklessly, as the Sunday editions
bear plentiful evidence.
