TVnn., June T-l3th. This will be the

held in connection with the great
Sunday School Congress which is, in
its seventeenth year.
General Crawford and General s.
:. Jones, Of MuSkcGcc, Okla. have
been corresponding with the Congress
Secretary. Henry \. Boyd. and have
completed plans whereby they will
take over for the boys the entire
campus Of the National Baptist Thco-
logical Training Seminary for q camp
ground. Various Sunday school
workers in conjunction with their
delegates and the Sunday School
Congress have assured General Craw-
ford thai with their delegates will be
a boy from their respective schools.
These boys will be modified and
trained, giving them military dis
ciplinc und"r religious influences.
1t will be a real boy-camp life.
1t is understood thai at least two
officers from the National Cadet
Headquarters will be sent directly to
Nashville a month in advance to be-
gin training and to get the local con-
tingcnt at Nashville in shape for the
five days work. General Crawford is
also planning to Join the Texas dele
cation and in all probability special
train will come from the Lone Star
State to the Volunteer State.

WOMEN AT CONVENTION
DENOUNCE SEN. REED
Mrs. w. w. Martin of Fayette Led
Attack in st. Joseph Meeting.

st. Joseph, Mo.-Breaking away
from the announced intention OF
holding an impartial meeting here
members of the State Democratic
committee last Saturday, assailed
in speeches, Sen. Jas. A. Reed, who
is a candidate for reelection, as
undesirable, a Republican and a
Judas"
The attack was led by Mrs. w. w
Martin, formerly of Cape Girardeau
who in 1920 opposed the seating of
Senator Reed at the national Demo
cratic convention and the State con
yention. She warned her audience
not to work for the wrong man al
the primary election next August
While it was announced at the
opening of the meeting Thursday
that the meeting was to be impartial
it became apparent that the gather
ing was largely in favor of Breckelk
ridge Long, who will oppose Reed
ON the Democratic ticket at the pri-
mary.
At five-hour executive session
it was decided that the Women's
State organization remain independ-
ent at least until the fall election
is held.

HOW ISLANDS WERE PEOPLED
Anthropolosists Believe 1t Was as a
Result of Involuntary Voyages
Made by Savages.

Sixteen natives of the Pelew islands
in the north Pacific made an involun-
tary canoe voyage TO Formosa, which
anthropologists find interesting. AS
reported, the voyage seems to add
proof to a current theory of the man
ner In which the innumerable islands
of Oceanica were settled by man.
Now, the Pelew islands lie east of
the southern groups of the Philippines.
Sixteen savages in three canoes with
outriggers were fishing near one of
the islands when Il gale blew up and
carried them out to sea. They had
nothing to eat but fish. They were
driven out for many days, some say
sixty, in which time they probably
travelled sixteen hundred miles in var
ious directions, and at last sighted
FormoSa, an island of which they had
never heard.
Almost dead from exhaustion, they
landed and were kindly treated by the
natives of that island. When they
were able to eat and had regained
their strength they were sent to Hong
kong, thence to the Caroline islands
and from there home in trading
schooner. After more than three
months absence they We're hailed by
their friends as risen from the dead.
1t is by such involuntary voyages,
anthropolOgists think, that man was
~placed on many of the widely scat
tered islands.

WHAT MANNER OF MAN

Discussing well-known police
character, an officer of the depart
ment said:
He is a vagrant, if there ever
was one. All his tendencies are
criminal. His companions are gam
blers, bootleggers and men suspect
ed of more serious offenses. He
never works, yet he always wears
good clothes. He has been arrest
ed several times and fined in the po-
lice court. But his sister, work
ing girl and above reproach, pays
his fines. 1t is she who is penalized
not her vagrant brother. For that
reason we have decided to let him
alone unless he does something vi
cious for which he, and not the sis
ter, must pay the penalty"
What manner of man is this? En-
dowed with an intelligence that en-
ables him to distinguish right from
wrong, yet with no more soul than
the dog that prowls the alleys in
search Of bone to satisfy it's appe-
tite-a parasitic thing in the form
of man with neither love nor re
spect for the mother who bore
him-he is willing that his sister
should shoulder the burden of re
sponsibility that should be his, and
without protest allows her to hui
initiate herself by interceding for
him with officers of the law and
drain her meager purse to save him
from the workhouse.
If he had an instinct above that
of the cur he would rot in dungeon
rather than permit her to suffer
for his own iniquities and short
comings.
1t is characteristic of men of his
type. When arraigned for trial ir
the criminal courts, nine times ou
| of ten they approach the bar of jus
tice with their thieving or blood
stained hands clinging to woman.
skirts for protection. Their blacl
hearts, palpitating with fear, the,
are willing that mothers and wive.

heads on the witness stand-aye

FIRST CUPBOARD IN AMERICA
Said to Have Been Brought to the
Country by Lord Fairfax
Preceded CelIarette.

1t was not the custom until q recent
period for each person to have q sep
arate drinking vessel, and even as late
as 1856 one writer says: "As for
drinke, 1t is usually filled in pots, COB.
lets, jugs, bols of silver In noblemen's
houses; also In fine Venice glasses of
all forms, and for want of these else
where pots Of earth are used. All of
which are seldom set upon the table,
but each one, as neccssitie urges,
calleth for q cup of such drinke as he
likes"
A "cupboard richly garnished" was
therefore necessity in those days.
That was one of the ways people dis
played their wealth.
Lord Fairfax is said to have brought
the first cupboard to this country
when he settled in Virginia.
The framework of the first "cup-
boards" was always covered with
"cupboard carpet" and for this pur.
pose rugs of "Turkeyworke" We're i'm
ported from the East and became the
first harbingerS of those larger cover
ings to which nowadays alone the
word carpet is attached. The change
from an open stagework to an en-
closed "cupboard," in the modern
sense, was gradual one, and arose
out Of the pilfering tendencies of the
servants of those days. "Almerics"
