GRANT BREAKS TIES
With ADAM And EVE
Rector Insists We All Date Back
to JaYaneSe Apes

New York, March DIR. Percy
Stickney Grant preached the second
of series of Lenten sermons yester-
day in the Church of the Ascension,
declaring the Apostles did not write
the Creed, and that the progenitors of
the human race were not Adam and
Eve, but the Javanese ape, the Hell
delberg man or some other ancestor
antedating Adam by long ages.
After tracing the ecclesiastical his
tory of the Greed, DR.. Grant said:
Now, take another side of this
history. Let us go back to the
Apostles Creed-which was not writ
ten by the Apostles. They must have
been dead by the year $50. l heard q
clergyman down on Long Island last
Sunday night who implied that the
people in his neighborhood lived to
be $50 years old. said. he was trying
to build up real estate values there.
But / don't think the Apostles lived
any such length of time as hundred
and fifty years after Jesus was born,
which is the first we hear anything
about the Apostles Greed. Then it did
not contain all the phrases of the
Greed as we have it today.
1T was not until another genera
ton afterward that the phrase came
in about the Holy Spirit or the phrase
Tncarnate by the Holy Ghost by the
Virgin Mary"
DIR. Grant then turned to Adam and
Eve. OF mans origin he said.
Take these books i referred to
Sunday. Mr.. Henry Fairfield Osborne's
account of the Stone Age, and look
at the pictures that represent the
Javanese ape and the Heidelberg man
and others. You wouldn't like to have
any of those in your family. But il
somebody gave you picture of Adam
and Eve, you would say-Those are
what we came from.
But you did not at all come from
those You came from the Javanese
ape, and the Heidelberg gentleman, or
one of the many gentlemen who exist
ed many thousands of years ago."

Thousands have kidney
TROUBLE AND never
suspect IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very Sue
cessful in Overcoming these condi-
tions. The mild and healing infu-
ence of DR.. Kilrer's Swamp. Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in all interview of the subject,
made an astonishing statement that
one reason why SO many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles of two sizes, medium
and large.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilner s. Co., Binghamton, N.
", for sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention this paper.

Birds Save State from
Insect Pests, Babb
Tells Rotary Club

The great ability of the birds in
keeping down the insect pests of our
State was brought forcibly to the
members Of the Augusta Rotary
Club. Friday night at the regular
meeting. when George H. Babb Of
the State Department of Agriculture
stated that each day in the summer
they eat 100 car loads of insects.
This he said was a very conservative
estimate and if it were not for them
the State would quickly become over
run with insect pests.
Before showing lantern slides of
the various insect pests and Of the
birds who work SO hard in keeping
them down, he explained that he had
divided the birds into several classes,
according to the especial sphere in
which they work. The Downy Wood
pecker belongs to the class which
works on the trunk of the tree: the
Warbler works on the end OF the
branches getting the worms which
feed on the young sprouts; the Rob-
in and Brown Thrasher works up
inside the tree foliage; the Swallow
works in the air, near the ground
getting the mosquitoes and CAD flies:
the Martins work in the upper air,
and the Whip poor will. Night
Hawks. Bats and Owls work during
the night.
The lantern was then turned on
and the different insect pests and
the destruction which they cause
was graphicly shown. The methods
of combating them was also outlined
and the men We're cautioned that
some of these pests are hard at work
right in the city.
Numerous slides were exhibited,
showing in natural colors the birds,
and short description of the work
they do was also given.
Following the usual supper, a
short time was devoted to a discus
sion Of the report of the boys work
committee which was made by the
chairman, Harris Woodman. Mr..
Woodman said that the committee
had been looking into the work
which other clubs was doing toward
helping the boys and told of two
or three plans which had been used.
He also stated that the committee
had been considering the advisa-
bility of sending poor boys to the
"Y" camp at Winthrop during the
| summer months for short time.
The alternative to this seemed to be
! the formation of Boy Scout troops
in the city. and the merits of both
plans We're discussed at length. No
action was taken at this time.

was elected at a recent meeting tC
go to the st. Louis convention in

Snow Dancing to Be
Wintertime Recreation
ORIGINATED in Augusta

Dancing on the snow-foxtrotting
and waltzing-did you ever see II
done or did you ever hear Of its be-
ing done?
Make way then for the newest of
winter sports. snow dancing, which
received its first official recognition
at the State Of Maine Winter Car
nival at Augusta. February is, 16.
II.
The possibilities of snow dancing
came about In a most unusual way
while the motion picture operators
were filming some of the Carnival
scenes at Ganeston Park. The In
cident, too, shows the ready versa
tility with which Hon. w. w. Can
nett Is possessed in inventing and
improvising new and novel out-of-
door sports for wilmer.
The scene In particular showed the
big ski-jump windmill tower with
the King and Queen Of the Carnival
and the ladies Of their ocurt. riding
in state In the chairs which are sus-
pended to the arms Of the windmill.
One the plot of ground near the re-
volyinR arms was a crowd of spec
tators who were doing nothing but
look on. Above all was ACTIVITY.
Below all was passiveness. Mr.. Can
nett wanted action in the crowd.
Here is how he got 1t.
The snow where the spectators
stood was hard and firm and as
level as a ballroom floor. Mr.. Can
nett shouted a word to the operator
in the broadcasting station to put on
a dance record and told Blaine Owen
to get a partner and start the dance.
The rest was easy. The crowd al
most instinctively fell to dancing to
the music Of the snappy jazz band
which was sent broadcast by the
Audiphone. The scene took on new
life. The idea Of snow dancing may
be said to have been born at this
moment.
Mr.. Gannett feels that snow dane
Ing will become as popular and as
Interesting as any of the events
which are now offered at the VIM
Ger Carnivals. A smooth level spot,
hard body Of snow, and a nearby
ylctrola or talking machine is all
the equipment that is needed. AS a
means Of keeping warm in the crisp
winter weather nothing could be
more enjoyable than snow dancing.
On hard packed snow ski boots and
moccasins are as good as pumps on
z ballroom door.
