Baylor SAYS, arr turning away
from the churches.
Nm IS tansht % believe d

He wants q b0lieSe III fiieii,.
without such beliet he woaid have
no hope. However, our beloved
preacher seems TO have ditaculty
in getting people to believe what
they really want TO believe.
Professors do not care whether
their students believe in evolution
or not. They study animals and
plants insthe laboratory and draw
their own conclusions. II he could
demonstrate what he tries 10
preach, namely, that there is eter-
nal life after death, q heaven. a4ld
where It Is, etc., as clearly as pro-
lessons can demonstrate the facts
in support Of evolution, then he
would be compelled to use all his
time in his own field instead OF
trying to tell professors what
they ought to do and say in their
AShPGSItfe lAueS OF WoFk.
Quotes Old Poem

teach about evolution. OF how they
teach II
'Not Widely Separately
ME- Baylor said that Tue pro-
feasor was bsoltit ely wrong whef,
he said that plant and animal lie
are not widely separated" His
proof that the professor was
wrong is as follows: PLANT and
animal life arc 50 widely separated
that there can be no question OF
It One is oddlsed: the other de-
oxldiEed. One thriYes on organic
food; the other thrives on inor-
ganic food. One lives and feeds
upon the other. Can you imagine
anything more widely separated?'
These statements show how
well prepared our preacher is to
discuss and understand the facts
which support evolution. All are
erroneous and misleading, as even
freshmen in high school ought TO
know. There are many living
plants that even botaniBts and
biologists can not classify with
certainty. biologists say that they
are animals because OF some
characteristic which they possess.
Botanists say that they are plants
for the same reason.
"The living parts of plants and
animals are alike in structure,
composition and physiological ac-
tivltles. OF course, a tree appears
to be very different to a horse.
However, we know that both are
made up of cells, tho living part
Of each, the protoplasm, being
essentially the same. It is the
opinion at present that both de-
veloped from the same organism,
only divergcd along different lines.
Every living cell Of plants and
animals uses oxygen in resplra.
ton.
Some plants can live on inor.
gantic substances; but thousands
of others live on organic material
and can not live on inorganic. The
statement, One lives and feeds
upon the other would be laugh.
able IL it were not so ridiculous.
Some animals live on plants, some
on other animals, while others
make their own food from inor-
ganic substances.
$50, you see the good professor
was absolutely correct when he
said, They are not widely separ-
ated.' Any one can avoid making
such erroneous statements by TAX
ing a course in biology in the high
school, or the freshmen course in
botany or zoology In the Unlver-
sity.
Makes Charge Himself
az wonder how many college
and high school students 90 to

Especial to The News)

Colerain, Mass, July 13-The sixth
annual Colraiht Crescent City (Fla.),
reunion was held at Sugar Loaf
Mountain in South Dserfeld, Mass,
on the Fourth of July, and the
warmth of the. greetings exchanged
was sure proof that friendships form
ed in the Southland, had not grown at
all lukewar1n through the fitting to
the North. The day was not the most
suspicious in tthe world, as far as
weather was concerned, but the ninety
or more Crescent Cityites present,
did not mind the cloudy skies. They
came from as far away as Burling
ton and st. Adams in northern Yer
mont, New Jersey, and places repre-
scented in the old Bay State were Col
rain, Greenfield, Deerfeld, Sunder-
land, Westfeld, Amhurst, Whately,
Conway, Ashfeld, Mortified. A bas-
ket picnic was served at noon out Of
doors, and W. W. Cary provided Or
ange blossom honey from his Cres-
cent City home, for everybody. After
dinner, number climbed to the top
Of Sugar Loaf, and enjoyed the beau
tiful scene spread out below them for
miles in every direction, showing the
fertile meadows of the Connecticut
Valley, and the winding river, with
the farming communities lying on Ell
ther side of it, and all surrounded
by mountain ranges.
Following the climb and the des-
cent, the gathering was called to or
der by J. E. Davenport, and it was
voted to hold the 1923 reunion in Col
rain. Rev. H. S. Springer, of Pit
man, N. j., who had been motoring
over the Mohawk Trail and calling on
Crescent City friends in the vicinity,
was called on to speay, and in his re-
marks he laid stress on the meaning
of the Fourth of July and on the re-
sponsibility resting on all citizens to
help bring order out of the chaos into
which the whole world has been plum
ged. Mr.. Springer also referred to
The historic ground on which he stood,
of the Indian plassacres of more than
200 years ago, and the hardships Of
The early settlers; all of which was
the more forcibly impressed on him,
because it was his lrst visit to New
England. A. c. Warner of Sunder-
land was the next speaker, and eX-
pressed his pleasure at being present,
also referring incidentally to the in
dustrial unrest and general upset
condition in all lines. Brief remarks
were also made by F. A. Rugg Of
Greenfield, who has been to Crescent
City for a short time, and he lauded
its beauties. W. W. Cary was the
last speaker and said that the way to
get acclimated in both the North and
the South, was to go to Florida early
and stay late. He advocated going
in October, and not returning until
June las is his custom), and then
there does not have to be any aceli-
mating process. Mr.. Cary also told
of the formation of the New England
Club in Crescent City last winter, and
of its various activities, especially the
erection of the pavilion on Eva Lyon
Park and its presentation to the city.
He cited numerous advantages Of
Crescent City as winter residence.
The committee in charge Of the re-
Union included Mr.. and Mrs. George
Peterkin, Mr.. and Mrs, Harry Pom
eroy, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Hawks,

BAR BOXING BOUT
UNDER BLUE" LAW

Richmond, Oct. 25-Another of Vir-
ginia's antique "blue" laws was
brought to the surface late yesterday
when police authorities put up the
bars against boxing entertainments
such as the Church Hill Athletic AS
sociation has been staging for seven
months to raise revenue among the
boys and girls of the East End.
Police action followed a complaint
by G. Harry Tompkins, a dealer I'm
motorcycles, that the spirit of the an
cient anti-prize fight law, put on the
statute books when the bare knuckle
battles of Sullivan were in order, was
being violated. The complainant,
who, according to Commonwealth's
Attorney Dave Satterfield, Jr.. stat
ed that he was connected with the de-
funct Broadway Athletic Club. de-
clared that the police had shown dis
elimination in closing his fight club.
while the Church Hill Athletic As
sociation was permitted to operate.
Notwithstanding the complaint, the
association was permitted TO hold its
scheduled entertainment last night at
the Strand Theatre, and was assured
by Commonwealth Attorney Satter-
field that strictly amateur contests
would be permitted. The future pol
icy of the Church Hill Athletic Asso-
citation in regard to boxing will be
determined by the board Of directors
at a meeting this week.

Benson Testifies
In Morse Suit
Former Head of Shipping Board Is
First To Be Placed On Stand-E. A.
Morse Takes Stand Today.

Admiral W. s. Benson, L. S. A., re-
tired, former head of the United
States Shipping Board was the first
to take the witness stand in hear
ings in the suit of the Virginia Ship
building Corporation against the
United States Shipping Board for the
sum of about S6,000,000. The testi-
mony of Benson was mostly concern
ing technical points covering the con-
tracts of the complainant corporation
with the United States and the con-
ditions surrounding the alleged
seizure of the ships of the complain
ant company which at that time were
being operated by the United States
Transportation Company.
Benson was placed on the stand late
yesterday afternoon and was recall
ed this morning when the court re-
convened for the third day. Others
to testify this morning were f. A.
Morse, formerly with the Virginia
Shipbuilding Corporation and w. w.
Nottingham of the Shipping Board.
The testimony of these witnesses con-
cerned chiefly the contracts.
CNiGIllAN DtlIS Pub
into the records of the court consum-
ed a good deal of the time and from
present indications it seems as if the
case will not be over at the end of
this week, but that it will consume
the greater part Of next week.
In the testimony Of Benson it was
brought out that he had himself ap-
proved the order whereby the ships
of the complainant corporation were
seized early last year because of the
heavy liabilities they were mourning
in various ports of this and other
countries. The mortgages and liens
against the boats, he said, prohibited
their operation in safety to the inter-
est of the government.
The case which is being heard be-
fore Judge Edmund Waddill in the
Federal court of the eastern district
of Virginia is bringing up some puz-
zling complications and fierce word
battles between the corps of able
lawyers and the witty retorts of the
judge cause frequent periods of
amusement for the many spectators
who are each day in attendance in the
court.
