IT cuntouuj y BIG CONVENTION BROUGHT TO END Committee Appointed to Study Ad vuability of National Publica*tion for Denomination Washington, May 18.?The Dia tViQ Smifhern mona convention Ui ??.*. ~ Baptist church, descrlDed as th< greatest in the history of the church came to an end today with the adop tion of the report of the committee on temperance and social service and of a recommendation that tne constitution of the United States be so amended as to prohibit the use of public funds for the support of sec tarian institutions. An attack on the national board of censors was stricken from trie report before its adoption upon ihe suggestion of Dr. W. W. Landruni of Rus ir,. sex: vine . Dr. Landrum argued that the attack was libelous in character and might lead to the recovery of heavy damages frc ' the convention. He agreed with the spirit which had prompted the statement. . Amendmnet to the constitution to lirohibit the use of money raised by government through taxation or otherwise from defraying the expen ses of sectarian institutions was proposed by Dr. J. B. Gambrell, president of the convention. Dr. Gambrell declared it his belief that every religious order should pay its own ex. penses. Progress made in the establishment of a theological seminary for ne groes was reported to the conventioi and the project indorsed by two ne gro Baptist preachers, Dr. J. W Bailey of Chicago and Dr. George 0. Bullock of Washington. Attack on Newspapers. Appointment of a committee t< study the advisability of establishm, a national Baptist newspaper was de cided upon after a vicious attack by Dr. Ben Cox of Memphis on the newspapers of thecountry and esoecially the Associated Press, fo> what he charged was their "unfair-' attitude towards the Baptist denomination. The newspapers and the Associated Press were staunchly defended by Frank E. Burkkehalter of Nashville and Dr. Alex Bealer of Georgia, who declared tnat uie Baptists nave not been discriminated against in the papers, and that the Associated Press had always been fair and courteous. Dr. Cox took particular exception to the Associated Press report of the sermon delivered yesterday from the steps of the capitol by Dr. George W Truett of Dallas, Texas, complaining that portions had been omitted which were derogatory to other denomina NAVY BRINGS BACK ITS OVERSEAS DEAD xr v?i- xr to mi i>ew i urn., may 10.? xiie navy tu day brought back to the homelam the first of its dead to perish over seas during the world war.

"-il' ! j ENGLISH GENTLEMEN ll ! ~ [ wsujvtKfcD mm FOUND OUT HOW TO BEAT HIGH ^ COST OF LIVING AND; PROVED IT TO ALL COUNTRYSIDE. I Thwe were no War Savings Stamps , *1 or Treisury Savings Certificates in the1 II days oI Samuel Johnson, the famous j philosufcher, but the most effective 1 J weapon against profiteers and the high j J! cost of living was known and em- f I ployed am effectively then as now. ? j Boswall in his life of Johnson calls ^ > attention to the successful manner in which Mr. Peregrin Langdon masI tered the art of living In, the eigh- j' j teentk cer.tury. Mr. Langdon seems > ! to havo baja ? wonder even in the j ? 1 frugal coun^sitfe where he lived. Ac- ^ cording: to Boswe-ll he had an annuity j ] I of 200 pound* a year (about $1,000), I1 land whilo ;lut s^n probably exceed-^ i ed an equal amount today in purchas- j ^ I ing1 power, this is what he was able . ^ to do with it: !! ' He supported himself, hto sister '' (who paid $90 a yea? for her board) in j and his niece. ' Tint servants," says c the biographer, "were two maids and t; . two men in livery; the appurtances to t: ! his table were neM ar-.d handsome. | ne ix-eiiuemiy eutcnaiuoa tunij.'au.v at ; dinner and then his tal?le wau well P i served with as many dishes as were e usual at the tables of othet gentlemen 11 of the neighborhood. His own &p- v pearance as to clothes was generally 11] aeat and plain. He had always a! f 'j post-chaise and Kept three .norses." i ti Mr. Langdon's nephew, ii> writing to | ,[ Dr. Johnson, gave away th* secret i y I formula by which all this \?ay made j p | possible, a He declared that Mr. I?ang- j t J don was able to- do so much with 30 ; f< little because he paid for everything, as soon as he had it except alone -what j were current expenses such as rent; for his house and servant's wages, and j these he paid at the stated time with i the utmosl^iactness. He gave not.ce to the tradespeople of the neigh- tl horing towns that they should no Ion- j eer have his custom if they let any nf his servants have anything without j w paying for it. Thus he put out of his 1 ? ?iower to commit those imprudences I n t.? which those are liable that defer ^ th^ir payments by using their money ' some other way than where it ought ! io to." . In other words Mr. Langdon saved c, first and spent afterwards. That isjJ the fundamental p-inclple which the d savings division of the treasury de-1r< partmeat is seeking to instill into the ! America* people through encourage- a EeRt of thrift and safe investment in government securities. Times hai e changed since Mr. Lang- n don's day but principles have not, and tJ his methods of getting the utmost from his ifacome through economy, d | elimination of waste, wise buying, CJ | systematic saYing and safe investment are as applicable today aa when ^ Mr Johnson lived. tI Mr. Langdon'? nephew knew there- g of he spoke when be concluded his de- a * ?v.nnrtlfl'o mfithrtHa Q ct i scnpuuu* ui ma uuuio o luwuvuM p follows: "Then*! few particulars may afford Instruction and be an incentive to that 'S'isa art of living which he 90 successfully practiced."

"He's got money." How familiar is that phrase: ana 'hat a lot of meaning it conveys. It expresses a certain admiration, lough the tribute may be reluctantly estowed. From the viewpoint of anybody 'ho spends his earnings as fast as he ets them, the persons who "have lonev" stand on a different plane, aljgether superior to the ordinary run f folks. By that mere fact they inpire respect. If you have a little money, nobody an bully you. On the other hand, if ou hare none, you are helpless and o not dare to speak up for your ights. Without money, one is necessarily t other people's mercy. There is no scaping that proposition. Obviously, then, the ordinarily comion-sensible oerson ousrht to have le gumption to start la, as early as ossible in life, to put pennies and lmes together and create a little apital. i The littl-e capital thus created WJI lean independence?the moat praccal and worthwhile thing in life.

Benjamin Franklin, the pioneer of merican thrift, said: "The borrower is slave to the leudr, and the debtor to the creditor. If ou would know the value of money *y to borrow some." Be your own creditor. So rogulato mii* AT-nonditures that the first harge against your income will be avings. Put aside a certain proporon of your money for neecsfary pending in the future. Your savings are a safeguard gainst want in old age, antl against le rainy day. They form a fund for lat golden opportunity that may be a the way.
