MAN CREATED PERFECT.
Evangelist Rockwell Takes ExccP
tton to Theory of Darwin.

That man did not evolve from an ape
and that the Bible in numerous instances
declares that he did not, in fact that he
was created perfect being" WAS EN-
phasized to the Washington Temple Con
Fregation in New Masonic Temple yes
terday afternoon by Evangelist II. Clay
Rockwell. of New York, in a sermon on
The Bible VS.. the Evolution Theory
Since the days OF the first man Adam.
Mr. Rockwell declared, man, instead of
evolving and becoming a more perfect
being. has been descending in the physi-
cal SCALE, and now at the present time.
instead of living for over go years. as did
Adam, he has to be content with a very
short earthly existence in comparison
with that allowed those of the early
days.
Mr.. Rockwell also took occasion to
point out that the DaTwinian theory tina
man evolved from an ape should not be
received in circles of education for mo-
ment. in view Of the fact that. besides
the Bible refuting It, Albert Russell Wal
lace, Darwins predecessor in the theory,
whose conclusions were elaborated on by
the latter, pointed out in his last days
he was convinced he was mistaken in his
theory.

Baltimore nestled between Hawk Noun

CIGAR CUTTERS DANGEROUS.
Public Health Service Pats ban ON
Tobacco Counter Fixture.

Automatic cigar cutters should be to-
booed by the smoking public. according
to the Public Health Service. A bulletin
recently issued says:
..The attention of the bureau has beer
invited to the danger of the spread of
disease through the automatic cigar
cutter, which one finds SO commonly on
the counters OF cigar stores, drug stores.
and other places where cigars are sole.
II Is a habit among many cigar smokers
to purchasing I cigar to place 1t between
their lips while paying for the purchase,
the smoker then putting the moist end
Of the cigar in the cutter.
This would seem to be very effec-
tive method of bringing about the inter-
change of mouth secretions. and POSSIBLY
the spread of infection. 1t is suggested
that the use of such automatic cigar
clippers should be avoided by the public
because OF the possibility that disease
may be spread by them by reason Of the
