The solar system is but q fragment
of the universe. Every star is a sun

there may be millions Of planets in.

ourselves. What we see going on is
what we call the process of evolution
from broken fragments to coherent
masses and to Inhabited worlds, from
chaos to cosmos, a struggle upward of
the universe from something lower
and disorganized to something higher
and organized.
AS to how life originates on these

1t is the way the Deity works.
The attempt to show that evolution
is unguided, that it is the result of alb

to is not unguided random change, but
guided change. The other could not
be done in time
What we have to realize in regard
to our place in the universe Is that we
are intelligent, helpful and active parts
of the cosmic scheme. We are among
the agents of the Creator. One of the

Commissioners Decide Of
ficiaIly Against BiIIboards.
WEST MAKES THE MOTION
No New Advertising on Fences and
Walls.
MACFARLAND's VIEW OF IT
Thinks Existing Signs ought to Be
Painted Out Except on
Business Streets.

A check on the erection OF more bill
boards and the painting OF more walls
with advertising matter proposed yes
terday by Commissioner West, has been
approved by the board Of Commissioners.
BY this action the District Commits
sioners have decided to grant no more
permits for the placing OF advertise
ments on fences or building walls.
Commissioner Macfarland and Engi-
neer Commissioner Judson formally ap-
proved yesterday afternoon the recon-
mendation Of Commissioner West against
any more billboards for the National
Capital. In taking this stand Commits,
fact that he has promptly approved ev-
cry recommendation looking to Inn
provement In the billboard advertising
made by Commissioner West, who, hay-
ing supervision of the police department,
has charge of the billboard matter.
Macfarland Heartily Approves.
Mr.. Macfarland said that repeatedly in
the past he had declared himself as In
favor Of abolishing all billboard advertis-
ing. and said In June. 1877: IL have felt
for long time that Washington ought to
lead the way in the matter Of street ad-
vertising."
In the course Of that interview Mr.. Mac
farland discussed what could be done un-
der the present law, quoting 1t as follows
mo person shall place. exhibit, main
tain or continue any advertising or poster

Commissioners OF the District OF Colum-
bia may In their discretion authorize In

To this is added the proviso that II
requires the consent OF neighbors, and
also the exemption Of persons advertis-
Ing on the premises where business Is
conducted or erecting signs relating to
the sale. rent or lease OF lands upon
which the sign is erected.
Mr.. Mcfarland said he was glad that
the Commissioner in charge of the mat
ter had made the recommendations al
ready approved. and hoped that 1t would
be found possible to carry the matter
to the abolition of billboard advertis-
ing. including all the existing bill
boards which had been authorized, in
each case upon the recommendation>of
the police department.

they would not permit the use Of bill
boards or street advertising except as
authorized in the exemption OF that para
