It appears that in ancient days there

The average advertisement stimulates thought and
action upon the thought and by Its appeal to our sense Of
pleasure or profit than any other literary form And
does it in less space and fewer number of words The
reason for this economy and efficiency is this:
An advertiser pays large sum for the white space and
he is naturally economical with it More thought is put
upon the space He conveys the idea and promotes the
action with the fewest number of carefully selected ex-
pressops Every word, phrase, sentence and paragraph
is weighed 10 this end Other forms of writing paid
for by the number of words or space occupied and there
is not the natural incentive to economy of expression as
in advertising.
Advertisers, paying large sums for white space as they
do have found it economical to employ men skilled the

GEORGIA'S SHOTGUN
HELPED WIN BATTLE
Rush of Germans at Chateau-T hierry
Was Stopped by Invention Which
Wrought Great Havoc.

Atlanta, March 13.-That a Georgian
was responsible for one of the most
interesting and effective weapons of
the war, and one that is credited with
high military authorities with stop
ping the rush of the Germans at Chat
eau-Thierry in the first week of June
last year, when Paris was threatened
and preparations had been made to
evacuate the city, is the latest war
atory to be told here, and one of eX-
ceptional importance because it is
authentic.
The Georgian who invented the
weapon is Lieutenant w. G. Eager,
who belongs to the United States Navy
and whose home is at Valdosta; while
the weapon that wrought such havoc
upon the advancing Germans was a
modified form of shotgun, made with
a special muzzle attachment that pro
jected the buckshot in a horizontal
line instead of the spray pattern of
the usual shotgun charge designed to
kill birds.
The famous Prussian Guards were
charging down the MatZ-Paris road at
Chateau-Thierry. The French had no
fresh troops enough to stop them
General Pershing asked and got per-
mission to put in the Second Division
composed of two regiments of Ma
rines and two regiments of Regulars.
They were almost beaten back by the
Germans. but when they reached
certain line of trenches in their re-
tirement they found the repeating
shotguns stacked and waiting for
them, with plenty of shells, each shell
containing twelve buckshot. Their
very first volley covered the path
way of the onrushing Germans. with
'lead. Their next volley shattcd the
line The Germans huddled in groups,
and the shotguns moved these down
like scythe blade. Then the Ger
mans broke and retreated.
