EAR NOT AFFECTED BY
HEAVIEST ARTILLERY
Berlin.—The normal ear Is not af
fected in any noticeable degree by the
noise of even the heaviest artillery,
according to conclusions based upon
* long study of artillerymen, by a
Berlin ear specialist.
Of fifty-one artillerists observed for
* long period by this specialist, none
txhibited any objective symptoms, and
only four complained of subjective in
lurles, mainly “ringing In the head.”
!n investigations covering a whole
rear, only one case of a burst ear
!rum was foufid.
y .dTh ( . ordinary recruit, who serves
>nly two years in peace times in the
Heavy artillery, but rarely Incurs any
astlng Injury to his ears, officers who
save served many years not infre
luently leave* th« service with chron
,e partial deafness or ringing in the
jars Investigations appear to show,
however, that these sufferers did not
have normal organa when they en
isted.

PICKINGS FROM "PIC”
By A. DAVISSON
Mr. Louis H. Roberts was buried
Friday afternoon at Harlem, a large
concourse of sorrowing friends being
present from the community and Au
gusta and other places. Mr. Roberts
made a brave struggle against tuber
culosis and surrendered after long suf
fering from ill health. He is most
highly spoken of by all who knew him.
Mrs. Roberts is with her father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. Zachry, in Har
lem, and a host of friends and neigh
bors sincerely sympathize with her in
her bereavement.
It was a pleasure to hear Col. O. R.
Horton, president of the G. M. C. at
Milledgeville, tell how the patrons of
this fine school stand by him in these
times. The attendance has Increased
this year 36 per cent, having now In
barracks 136 against 101 last year.
This is also a showing against 25 in
barracks a few years ago. There are
175 in the battalion against 48 when
the attendance was at the lowest. This
responsible position called for all there
was In young Horton and we all are
gratified at his achievement in four
years. Colonel Horton was passing
through Augusta on his return from
Washington city where the Association
of Military Schools and Colleges of
the United States had its session this
week.
ST. JAMES SERMONS ARE
GROWING IN INTEREST
Dr. Walter B. Dillard, pastor of St.
James’ Church, sometime ago stated
to his people that he appreciated the
large congregations that greeted him
on good clear Sundays, but that ho
saw no reason why St. James should
not differ from other churches and be
known as church-going people on
rainy Sundays as well, and made an
earnest plea to his people to attend
church regardless of tne weather.
In response to this plea large con
gregations attended both morning and
evening services last Sunday, regard
less of the downpour of rain that last
ed the whole of the day.
Dr. Dillard’s series of sermons cm
"The Majesty of the Law,” Is grow
ing In Interest, and the many who
have been attending are determined,
regardless of the weather, that they
will hear the remainder of the series.
Subject for Sunday, January 24th,
morning, "Church Government";
evening, "The Law of Honesty."
The public at large cordially Invit
ed to attend and be benefited by these
sermons, and enjoy the good music
furnished by Mr. Rob Irvin and his
excellent choir.
WAR TIME DARKNESS IS

London.— Hie wartime custom of
darkening street* and houses wher
ever possible to avoid aeroplane at

ing at least one good effet, according
to occullsts, who maintain that eye

At least one writer claims that the
darkness Is having a decided effect
from a social standpoint, and that
singing and games are increasing In
British homes Just because of the con

LONDON SEASON
TO BE DULLEST
There 1b Scarcely a Noble
Family Which is Not in
Mourning; Dullest Since the
Crimean War.
London-—The coming London sea
son will bo the dullest Hlnco the
Crimean War, owing to the fact that
thero is scarcely a noble family which
is not in mourning. But while there
will bo little or no entertaining on a
lnrgo scale, and positively no state
balls, tho King ban let It bo known
that ho wants to keep up the rou
tine functions, provided no unfore
seen emergency arises. These func
tions, however, will be of tho sim
plest character.
If the Germans are unable to turn
the scales in their favor, or cause the
forces of the Allies no unparalleled
disaster, tho social year will ho open
ed at Buckingham Palace about the
middle of February with a formal re
ception at diplomats and high offic
io Is. In past years, there have been
usually two of these courts held dur
ing February and March anti two
more In May and June, Tills year,
however, It Is probable that two will
be suspended.
Tho King will most likely hold his
usual quartet of levees for the of
ficers of the army and navy and the
gentlemen having access to the court.
The levos may lie held at Bucking
ham Instead of Ht. James’s this year,
on account of tho scarcity of guards
men for ceremonial duty. Even ex
tra levees are said to be under con
sideration, In view of the large num
ber of officers appointed or promoted,
since It Is the custom for them to
appear at court on such occasions
Although almost the entire body of
army and navy officers nr* st the
front, they are frequently relieved
and allowed home on furlough.
No Court Balls.
Both tho King and Queen feel strong
ly that court hells are out of place
at this time, and these will not tie
resumed until the war ends. It is also
decided that there shall be neither a
Ix-rby night nor an Oaks night hall,
although tho King will not forego his
usunl Derby night dinner to Ills fel
low members of the jockey Club, un
less compelled to by circumstances.
This year’s opening court will be
/narked by the absence of several
familiar face*, notably tho Into Sir
William Carrington, Keeper of the
Privy Purse, Lord John Hamilton, the
Deputy 'Master of the Household, the
lion. W. Cudogan equerry to Uu
I’rinco of Wales, and Major Rivers
Uulkeley. The josses of war among
(he minor members of the household
lias also been Considerable.
The majority of the best known
houses in London will remain closed
tills season, notably Devonshire House,
Hyde Park House. Grosvenor House,
Sunderland House, Stratford Housa
and Montague House. There will he
none of the semi-public costume balls,
which used to lie notable features of
Iguulon’s season although a bazaar
in aid of the Prince of Wales’ Fund
lias been suggested.
Had the war not Intervened, the for
mal debut in society of Princess Mary
would have been a gala occasion,
celebrated by a fancy dress ball. Yet
sho will appear at the first court held
after she attains her eighteenth year
on April 25.
The King and Queen will attend
a special performance of Tho School
for Scandal at Covent Garden on
iFebruary i, for tho benefit of the
actors’ fund, but their visitH to the
theatres will otherwise be few and far
between.
The customary Investuro for those
obtaining honors In the New Year list
will take place In tho throne /room
of Buckingham, but it Is believed
that some simple form will take tho
place of the elaborate chapter meet
ing of the Knights of the Garter at
Windsor in June.
SIX TREATIES IN EFFECT.
Washington, D. C—Tho state de
partment was Informed by the Am
erican minister at Caracas that tho
president of Venoxeula had put tnto

Ecuador, Peru, t'olotnbla and Vene
zuela held at Caracas In July, 1911.
The treaties were promulgated by the
president of Venezuela December 19th
