Suffrage Amendment VIII
 HaUe No Delay in Senate
Alabama Legislature Will Probably Be First in Union to Act on Measure Underwood Secures Five Ships
 for Port of Mobile
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, June 2. (special) The next celebration will be staged by the women of Alabama in honor of the submission by Congress of the equal suffrage amendment.
 Tomorrow the Senate will begin the discussion of this issue and there is no question but that in the end the upper house will follow the lower in ridding itself of the question.
 AS no disposition unnecessarily to delay the passage of the act is appar- ent it is estimated that the conclu- sion of the current week will see it victorious. It is said that of the IS new Senators, the women have landed IL In the former Congress they needed only one vote.
 There is great probability that Ala bama will be one of the first states to act respecting the amendment This is due to the fact that it's legis- lature convenes in July, and then the prediction of last summer that the leg islature to be elected would pass not only on prohibition but equal suffrage will be materialized.
 It is said among Alabama members of Congress that the opinion in their respective districts is that the legis- lature, instead of acting directly cn the amendment, will submit it to the people-will act in this respect con- trary to their action respecting the prohibition amendment.

GETS FIVE SHIPS
 FOR MOBILE PORT

Washington, June ?. Special The shipping board today, on repre- sentation of Senator Underwood and Representative McDuffie, reseinded it's former action refusing to allocate ships to Mobile On the contrary, it announced that five ships would inn mediately report to the Alabama DOT t to move cotton to Europe and mer- chandise to South America.
 Senator Underwood declares the time has come for Alabama to demand of the government the consideration of Mobile to which. as a port, it is entitled. He contends that 1t has been discriminated against in favor of New Orleans and Florida ports.

by recent advances. In the early trading prices rose SS to 45 points, but the market fell off 10 to 20 points immediately fol- lowing the bureau at 10 o'clock. Later there was another upward movement, which carried the market to net ad- vance of 5S to 73 points. Here the selling pressure was renewed and the market declined until it stood r to SS points under the close of last week.
 The opening was higher on the rains shown in the belt by the weather map. Toward the middle of the day the market strengthened again on the forecast of Oklahoma and the northern portions of tho belt indicating frost as a result of a cold wave, which has already brought the lowest temperatures on record for June in some sections of the country.
 The condition report compared with S23 last year on May 2S and the 10-year average of 79.2. The report to June 25 will be much more important than to- days figures. The weather map will probably govern the market in the near future. New Orleans will be closed in observance of Confederate Decoration Daw tomorrow.
 The market closed at a net decline of 2 to 43 points except on July, which was 3 up net.-Shepard X Gluck.

GREAT MASTER OF THOUGHT
Influence OF Aristotle On the Minds of
Men Has Been for Two thousand
Years Supreme.

Aristotle was the most famous and
influential of Greek philosophers.
He was born 81 b. c. and died in FL
B. c. In the history Of western civlh-
Zation there is no example Of any 9th
er philosopher having eXerted so great
aud So permanent an influence on the
minds of men as Aristotle. For nearly
2o00 years his authority was not only
predominant, but glmost despotic in
all countries where the light Of learn
inc had penetrated. During the dark
ages" when little attention was paid
to learning, even in the most favored
portions of Christian Europe, the
philosophy of Aristotle was encourag-
ed and his works diligently studied in
the M0slem capitals of Bagdad and
Cord0ya. On the revival of letters in
Italy and other parts of Europe, Ariss
tOtle reigned for time In the schools
without a rival.
After the reformation his influence
decreased. and for nearly POO years
after the time of Bacon the works of
Aristotle We're almost universally neg
lected among the learned in Europe.
Toward the close of the last century.
however, attention was again directed
TO them. His true position IN the realm
of intellect Is admitted to be fully
equal, if not superior, to that of any
other Of the great masters Of thought
that the world has ever seen.

PAINT AND ILlITERACY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That Lo.
calties Least Using Books Avoid
Paint Also.

Washington, d. CA curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu.
catonal Bureau and the bureau of In.
dustria Research here. 1t is that In
the states where illlteracy is most
prevalent paint Is least used The
paint referred to IS the common or
barn variety, Of course, for the back
woods countries have no neeu for the
finer pigments or facial adornments
It Is true, though, that In the sections
Of all states where white illiteracy is
highest painted homes are rare and
painted outbuldinss and barns are
practically unknown. Probably the
illIterates do not use paint on lher
buildings because they do not under
stand its value as preservative.

served in the great war SO organ
lied as to preserve wartime desig-
nations Of units was proposed to the
military committees of congress to-
day, by General Pershing as the
basis for a permanent reserve to be
maintained in future by universal
Until universal training got under
way, he told the committee, divis-
ions and smaller units now dis
banded could be brought back into
existence on paper, with enough
volunteers from their former per-
sonnet to make up the skeleton of
a continuing reserve system.
Would Drill Reserves.
Later, he continued, men emerg-
ing from universal training camps
could be assigned to these reserve
units in their home localities. He
suggested that the men thus as
signed be assembled for drill or
nsaneuvers "once or twice during
the period they are held for possible
service" after training, though
they could not be actually called
into active service except in time
of war,
The general said the problem of
fitting in this plan with any con-
tinuance OF the national guard as
such, was a difficult one. He sug-
gested that the governors of. states
might be given authority to call the
reserves into service in local emer7
gencies, but preferred that their
training and organizations be dis
tinctly federal

General Pershing also declared
his preference for. army promotion
by selection rather than seniority,
and recommended a single list for
promotion. In that way, he said
much dead timber could be elm
mated and existing inequalities be-
tween staff and line removed. The
present promotion system he char
acterized as absurd

his statement before the joint ses-
siofis of the committees today, but

the questions submitted by mem
bers and probably will appear again
next week.
