81, VAUDEVILLE THIS A. M.

3 The cadet Corps Of the Bailey Mil
litary Institute broke camp this
morning, early and started on the six
teen and half miles march back to
Greenwood. The outing has been a
success, so far as the people of Abb
'beville have been concerned. We
have enjoyed every minute of the
boys stay and our people have been
impressed with the fine appearance,
the gentmanly conduct Of the young
mensand our people saw them leave
with regret. ~. >.
Saturday was devoted to practice
drills on the square in the morning,
the enjoyment of the base ball games
lin the early afternoon and dress pa
rade at 6 o'clock. The people of the
city turned out in full force to see
this patriotic spectacle and enjoyed
to the fullest the appearance\ of Old
Glory, the lively music of the mill
tary band and the military appear
ance of the young soldiers in the
making.
Saturday night the boys went to
the picture shows and knocked a.
round town. '.s.~ '.
Sunday many of the cadets at
tended services in the different
churches after which the houses of
the city were open to them and good
dinners were enjoyed by the visitors.
Of the two hundred and sixty-five
boys in camp practically all were in
vited out. .s., .. o..
Of the boys left in camp some
were on guard duty, few were re
stricted and according to one boy
some didn't have any clean clothes
However, these boys were provided
with a good dinner and spent the
day comfortably.
The afternoon was devoted to
driving around seeing the sights of
the city. Charley Darricott came to
the front with a big truck and took
about fifty of the boys over the city
at lively gait. They woke things up
on Greenville street as they passed
along.
This morning about $3.50 the en-
tire corps marched through town,
stopped long enough to give two or
three "yells" for the town, then pass
ed out of sight towrads the Southern
depot and the encampment is thing
of the past.

LETTER OF BLISS GIVES IN.
cEPTION. III stTi

New York, May ,8.-A nationwide
appeal for, an international confer
ence for the reduction Of armament
was issued tonight by four Of the
largest religious organizations in
this country-the Federal Council
of Churches of Christ in America,
the National Catholic Welfare coun-
Gil, the Central Conference Of Am:
erican Rabbis and the United syna-
gogue Of America. ..si' igfr.,.ss
More than 100000 clergymen of
all these sects were asked to read
the appeal from their pulpits June
s.. The congregations also were re-
guested to send resolutions to their
congressman, urging on them @the
imperative necessity for the con-
ference. t;st. f3'}aji. ), 3
The; movement, it was announced,
had it's inception in letter to the
Church Peace Union from Gen.
Tasker h. Bliss, formerly chief Of
staff of the United States army, in,
which he said the responsibility for
another war would rest entirely up
on the processing Christians in the
United States.
General Bliss letter which is en-
braced in the appeal said in part;
II would not take a single step in
the way of disarmament except as
the result Of an agreement, thor
oughly acceptable to us between our,
selves and the other, principal ma
lions, engaged in the armament
rivalry. have not the faintest idea
of what form that FIRST agreement
might take. have, therefore,, no
scheme Of disbursement to propose.
My sole purpose is to have such an
International conference ., Either
there is no practical common sense,
among the people of the United
States or else they do not know the
essential facts that point 20 the nec-
essity of such, a conference.
"The farmers of the United States
apparently are Of the belief that
some action must be- taken by our
government to relieve. the depres-
sion in their affairs. They have got
ten together and have put upon
their congressman and the latter in
their turn have put pressure upon
the government with the certainty
that now, rightly or wrongly, some.
thing is going to be done. -.
"If the farmers had not done this
or had continued talking among
themselves in their various conven-
tions nothing would have been done.
If the clergymen of the United
States want to secure a limitation
of armaments they can do it now
without any further waste of time"

Medical science has discovered a
variety of germs which thrive in the
human organism and destroy 1t.
Most persons who are able to read
pride themselves upon a little in
formation about how to avoid dis
ease and how to get well and keep
well.
1t Is reasonable to suppose that
the same persons would pride them
selves still more upon a little store
of knowledge about the human in
stincts, or inherited habits of mind.
Some of these habits, If persisted in,
make for character; and some, If
perverted, destroy character as sure
ly as poisons or toxins destroy the
body.

Psychology explains why mother
is right. why petting parties are

marry the wrong mates. why moth

marriages, and a thousand other
completes of the human spirit.

To the lovers vocabulary, to
everybody's vocabulary, a new word
has lately been added for common
use. 1t is psychology" pronounced

told by artists. Domestic science ex-

Is a matter of psychology.
And lovers, true or false, are
either one or the other for reasons
which psychology alone can explain.
Psychology is the science of the
mind. 1t explains why we are what
we are. why we do what we do. The
mind, acting consciously or uncon-
sciously, is behind human behavior,
except when 1t is automatic. as In
breathing. Therefore psychology
has been called 1.-THE science of hu-
man life."
From the beginning. so the newest
branch of the science tells us, man
has been ruled by three urges, food,
safety and sex. There are many
others, but these dominate the rest.
One authority places the sex urge
before all others. but clearer think
ers argue that the food urge comes
first. that self-maintenance precedes
reproduction in the individual life.
They seem to argue logically, with
