of water. She has two masts that
tower 63 feet above The waterline.
Each mast has gallery flashing
light, beacons to guard mariners
against Frying Pan shoals.
The iightship was docked in
Charleston by the Coast Guard
shortly after the United States de-
clared war against Germany when
submarines were prowling the
coastal waters.
To the north ard, off Cape Hat
teras, the Diamond Shoals light
ship, sister ship to the one on Fry
ing Pan, took up her vigil few
days earlier.
When the Diamond Shoals light
ship returned to duty, it was re-
vealed that the Germans, when
they began their submarine cam
paign off the North Carolina coast
in World War II had towed a de-
coy lightship to the spot usually
guarded by the Diamond Shoals
ship.
Legend Starts
But the Germans strategy back
fired on them. Rombardiers OF the
Army Air Force A-20's used the
German decoy ship as a point O
navigation in their campaign
against the Nazi seawolves. Later,

those war days when any coastal
resident could hear off-shore ex.
plesions almost any dark night

pound bomb and blew the decoy
German ship to bits.
Other Tales
The natives along the Hatteras
banks say there are also seven
sunken German submarines off

were sunk by these same bonn.
bardiers that blew the decoy light
ship to Kingdom Come.
But whatever the fate Of the SUBJ
marines, legendary or true, tho
war is officially over off North
Cardinals coast,
The Frying Pan shoals and the
Diamond shoals lightships ara
once again riding proudly at an
Choir, guarding mariners against
the treacherous shoals off the Car

Legends Arise AS Familiar
Marine Landmarks Re-
turn To Old Posts

Helmsmen of ships that ply the
Atlantic coastal sea-lanes touched
off their sirens and flashed their
blinker lights to an old off-shore
friend in the dark waters of North
Cardinals coast the night of Jan.
3.
The Frying Pans shoals light
ship was back on duty after four
years of war.
She took up her lonely sea vigil
at 3 o'clock Jan. 8, replacing a
whistle buoy that had tossed the
waves in her stead when German
submarines began menacing ship

of new systems extending from the
southwestern states are in pros
pect.
More Decreases
While the decline in petroleum
demands from the wartime levels
had not been as great as expected
up to the end of the year, econc-
mists agree that further decreases
are in prospect over the first e
to months of 1916.
The demands at low point in the
decline both for the United States
and the entire world will be sub
stantially greater than the prewar
requirements. After h postwar
adjustments are completed a
steady increase in domestic and
foreign demands is anticipated
with new records in consumption
to be established starting in 1913.
Advances
Practically every phase Of pc
troleun technology was advanced
under emergency conditions. An
important petro chemical branch
is in the making. The industry S
plants for the production of buta-
diens, the most important ingredi-
ent of synthetic rubber, will con-
tinue to operate indefinitely.

GEORGIA SHOWS HOW

A T L A N T A, - R - IL the
first time and it may be the last
points out State Auditor B. =.
Thrasher, Jr., but Georgia IS
completely out of debt.
Never before has the state hao
reserves to apply in full payment
of bonds and other obligations
maturing at a future date.
The states peak debt was on
Dec. 81, 1910, Thrasher said-S59'
ITO, 146. By last December 81, the
debt had been completely ellml-
mated.
Now the state has a current
cash surplus of 1891, 23o, which, to-
gether with sinking fund reserves
of more than $21 100000, will COM
pletely liquidate obligations now
outstanding.
