church life and welfare work through out the state of Alabama. Mrs. Crump- ton is identified especially with the work of the Young Women's Christian association at her home. Montgomery, to which she has given much time and attention.
 pr. Crumptons daughters and sons are all college-bred women and meE. Miss Claudia Crumpton, one of his daughters. has been notable in edu- cational work. having been connected with the faculty of the Alabama Giris' Technical institute at Monteyallo, while now she holds a responsible po- sition with the Ensley High school, and is making her home in Birming- ham, where she has many warm friends and admirers. Miss Crumpton is also one of the leaders in the Better Speech Movement" in Alabama, for which she has done admirable work.
 Another daughter of Dr. Crumpton's is Mrs. J. M. Shelburne, whose hus- band was for sometime the honored head of Howard college; still another daughter lives in Texas, where, with her husband. who is a minister, she has done valuable work in church cir c1es.
 Dr. Crumpton's two sons, Robert C.,
 
 near Paris and another. who is en- gagged in educational work in North Carolina. inherit the fine spirit of mo- bility of character and high purpose that characterizes the life of their dis tinguished father.
 Dr. Crumpton bears the distinction of never having held the pastorate of a city church; suburban churches yes-near large cities, but, as has been stated previously. his work has been particularly identified with country people; and so I asked him when 1 had the pleasure Of meeting him few days ago. during one of the re- cesses of the sessions of the Alabama Baptist state convention. if he felt that country folk had more religion-the old time relgion-than city folk, to which he smilingly made reply:
 q wouldn't exactly say that; in- deed, I hardly think they have, but country folk have more time to pay to religious matters than city folk; theif time is not so occupied; they haven't as many diversions and temptations; the church service to the country folk is an event; possibly this is the case, because it is so rare; in many districts the church service is held only once month.'
 "And. reminiscing," suggested, lover the years of your faithful serv- ice in the Baptist denomination of Alabama, tell me just what has inn pressed you most" I begged. /
 'The country pulpits I have filled" said pr. Crumpton gently and affec- tionately. "You know I have becn preaching since 1867; I was licensed to preach in that year. and in 1870 I was ordained a preacher at Town Creek church. Lowndes county, just on the border line of Dallas county
 ''For 10 or 12 years I was pastor of Old Providence said pr. Crumpton, "25 miles south of Selma, and while living on my farm there I was called to Mckinley church in Marengo county. I did not ac-

PLIERS WILL USE
 BUTTERFLY MAP
Mercator Projection Misleading, According to California Expert

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. l9.-- Pliers in the proposed 1920 world girdling air derby will not travel by Mercators projection, but by a new .butterny" map devised by E. J. S. Cahll. of Oakland, Cal, which has just been adopted by Major Charles J. Glidden, executive secretary Of the Aerial Derby Comm ission, now on bis way to the Ear East, and who gave the map his approval before leaving here.
 MT. CahilJ who is the originator of San Franciscos $12,000,000 ''civ'c center" plan, said that an aviator using the Merca1or projection as a guide, would go 1000 miles out of his way in a trip from Panama to YokO Ohama.
 "lf the North Pole were on an island a mile wide," he said, ''it would appear on Mercator's projection to bo 25,O0O miles wide, or nearly the total circumference of the earth at tho equator"
 The inventor of the new map, who worked on his drawings 1 5 years, said that 'an impartial and rational world geography is essential to world peacc." He said that Mercator's pro- jection, which was originally devised by the Belgian cartographer as q guide for navigators, distorted and exaggerated the earth as it receded from the equator.' This, for in stance made it appear as if South America were much smaller than North Am erica when as 8 matter of
 fact, he said, they were about the
 same area.
 The Cahll map is as though an actual sphere had been cut and flat tened, it's appearance somewhat re- sembling the outspread wings of d butterfly. A nation looking unduly expanded on the map may easily, MT. Cahil says, develop a sort of geographical ''big headedness," inducing an over- ] bearing diplomacy. A nation whose territory is so unduly exaggerated on l the maps in common use may well ] come to exaggerate it's resources it's economic strength and even it's vir- l tues, and so create an atm osphe"e 1 anything but conducive to mutual 1 goodwill and consequent world peace. All problems of intercommunica- 1 tion by sea, land or air are baffling l and misleading on Mercator's chart,
 says MT. Cahill, but simple and ob- vious on the "butterny" map, a fur l ther aid to mutual knowledge an1 l understanding.
 1 "InternaU Uonalism. now a sporadic 1 and occasional thing, but destined in 1 the future to be the keynote of all 1 human endeavor, plays an important 1 part in the science of statistics and l meteorology," said MT. Cahill. Graph 1 ical statistics are f-contradictory
 and ludicrous < on Mercator's chart. 1 and as for indicating the progress of l high and low pressure rings in waath- = 1 CT charts, the ever-changing scale on | Mercator's was simply bowildcring to ! the forecaster who had to use them ' 1 The new map, by showing all the
 lands in their true proportion and 1 form, he declares, would help mate l rially in solving peacefully problems 1 dealing with the world as a whole.
