Hazardous Life of Army Aviator.
A graphic description of the
hazardous life of army aviators
has been written by Heinrich
Binder, one of the best known
German war correspondents. De
scribing the work of two Ger
man ayiators on artillery recon
naissance he writes:
4 'At an average height of
about 8,000 feet our aviators
circle in huge ellipses between
our batteries and tne hostile po
sition. The aeroplane vibrates.
The motor ratties and roars and
hurqs and hums. This music
soothes the nerves of the avia
tors. It is so loud in the quiet in
the upper air that it drowns the
thunder of even the heaviest ar
tillery. With their field glassea
the flyers observe the hostile po- r
sitions and note the effect of our j
artillery. Signals are given—i
'fell to the right,' 'fell to the'
left,''fell short,' and 'overshot
mark.' bjt these signals are a
secret.
"The French follow their well;
known tactics of changing their i
battery positions continually.;
But the aviators return again
and again, dashing along at over
60 miles an nour, and report the
new positions.
*Tt is murderous flight As a
hawk circling around a chick be
fore seizing it, the aviator circles
around the artillery positions of
the enemy, heralding death and
destruction. When he approach
es the hostile position batteries
spray their shrapnel upon him,
and the infantry concentrates its ;
fire unon his aeroplane. The avia
tor goes nigher and higher, till
he can ao longer see a man and
the trenches appear as more
scratches on the ground. A
sharp red line marks where the
French infantry HPS. Their fine
red trousers and bright colored
caps betray their position
"The motor continues its roar
and clatter. Suddenly a little
French reroplane emerges from
a cloud. It i 3 smaller and light
er than our kind, of the type
known as the 'peasants terror.'
It makes an average speed of 75
miles, an hour, and it is armed.
Now there is a chase, as of one
bird by another. They try to ap
proach and then to elude each
other. Neither hears the si nts
fired by the other. The aviator
can scarcely feel when a bullet
strikes his own machine.
"The two aerial combat
ants soar higher, till one or the
other one disappears in a pro
tecting cloud, that closes white
and moist around him. If the
danger becomes too threatening
a gliding landing. They must
take care, however, not to get
into the line of fire of their own
army, for some of the big mor
tars throw their shells a mile or
more into the air."
Paris, Nov. B.—A Havas dis
patch from Nish, Servia, says:
"The enemy made a vigorous
attack November 4 southeast and
south of Shabato but by a coun
■ ter-attack we put the Austrians
•to flight. They left 500 dead and
j 200 wounded.
| "During the same fight and
again on November 6 the Augus
trians attacked our position at
Boraga and Goutchevo, but were
repulsed with heavy casualties."

The Farm Life Schod.
The establishment of an Ag
ricultural and Domestic Science
course in the State High school
at Startown is a step forward in
rural education in this county.
These courses not only mean a
better balanced education for
the boys and girls who attend
the school, but the science and
practice gained by the students
will be carried home with them
and undoubtedly have an influ
ence for tetter things on the
farms from which these boys and
girls came. Another field*of use
fulness for this school is the
training of teachers for smaller
country schools. Teachers really
equipped to teach country pupils
are hard to find. The Startown
school will become a valuable
training school for this impor
tant work. The value of such a
school as the one at Startown
cannot be over estimated and
the farmers of Catawba county
owe it to themselves and to
tneir children, to give this school
their hearty support and cooper
ation.
Is Friday 13 Lucky?
Yes, and you will be pleased if
yousee "Beverly of Graustark."
at the Hub Theatre Friday night,

of feminine attire, sometimes
occurs in a very unique way.
Although Geo. Barr McCutcheons
"Beverly" has been published
for sever*! years and although
there appeared on the cover of
the book Harrison Fisher's con
ception of the ideal "Beverly,"
garbed in a most ravishing hat
and veil, it was not until the

IMB SCHOOL BUG
APNEA IN 3 SECONDS
Bereau of Fire Prevention Made
Tests Here List Week.
* ——
Mr. Sherwood Breckwell, of
Raleigh, of the Bureau of Fire
Prevention, North Carolina In
surance Tepartment, spent seve
ral days here last week testing
out the Pre detriment for their
tfficiency in handling fires and
the schools of the ciiy for thei?
despatch in empting the build
ings in case of fire.
In tbe school tests the north
school in which there were 290
ichildren and 9 teachers the bull
ing was cleared in 1 minute and
12 second \
In the scuth building a record
was established for quickness of
vacating the building. In thi3
school there were 318 children
and 8 teachers and the building
was cleared in the remarkable
shot time of 43 seconds. Mr.
Brockwell said he had made si
milar tests in 40 towns and cities
of the state and that the children
of this school, ranging in ages
from 6 to 12 years, had left the
bailding the quickest and in the
beet order he had ever seen.
This is quits a compliment to
the efficiency of the teachers and
superintendent in teaching the
cbildred the fire drill and also
speaks well for the children.
There is no doubt but what the
north school would have made
the same record had the build
ing been designed differently.
The plans are to be changed in
this building, and every boy in
the high school will have it un
derstood that when an alarm of
fire is given, each one is to take
a certain room and see that every
small child is out as they go
down stairs. This arrangement
will relieve any possibility of a
child being left in the building,
as each boy will have his room
assigned and it will be his duty
to see that this room is cleared.
The fire department was high
ly complimented by Mr. Brock
well for its efficiency, he saying
that in it every citizen had
something that they should be
proud of. A number of tests
runs were made, one of them to
Lenoir College a distace of one
mile.
