Science

Much has been said recently by
the foes Of evolution against one of
the fundamentals Il science-the
record Of the rocks"
Rocks are a sort Of calendar Of
the ages of the earth and also they
have preserved the fossil remains of
many of the earth's earliest animals.
This rock record can not be wrong,
although it may. at times. he read
W ong. in -eceut years, through the
advance Of science. mans ability 70
read these records correctly has
grown enormously.
The records show clearly that
there once was a time when the
only backboned creatures in ex-
istence were fishes. Later processes
of evolution are clearly traced.
From these facts the reasonable Of
continuing evolution OF all living
things is evolved.
1t is not likely that mans body, In
this process Of evolution, viii admit
OF great change, but his brain is in
it's infancy and therefore the
evolutionary prospect for man is
promising.

ROAD RIPPLE Park is to be
X developed into a great
amusement center according
to recent announcement.
The sum of $500 900 is to be ex-

Amusement parks are. gawky crea-

But people seeking diversion and

They may be derided by those who
dwell in the rarified regions of in

us Coney Island is a better known
landmark of New York than is the
Metropolitan Museum.
And probably more popular.
Perhaps glorious summer days
might more profitably be spent in
some sylvan dell communing with
nature. And the pursuits of rare
breed of butterfly over the rolling
hills may be a finer pastime than
the pursuit of a squirming hot day
in an amusement park.
But every summer many will find
more pleasure in drinking bottled
soda pop in a noisy crowd than in
drinking in a quiet pastoral scene.
The pastime is equally harmless.
A dusty amusement park perhaps

scaled the pinnacle Of glory. For
his feat in capturing 1872 Germans
ngle-handed--after putting twenty
five Of their comrades out CT action
he was acclaimed the country's
greatest hero Of the war.
The pIaudits Of his countrymen
greeted him upon his return to
America.
Fat movie offers, plump lecture
contracts. and easy money were
dangled before his eyes. His name
alone was his fortune.
Sergeant York scorned all offers.
The spotlight and a lush harvest Of
easy dollars didn't fire his cupidity.
From among the people Of the inn
poverlshed mountainsides of east
Tennessee he responded 10 his coun-
try's call-and wrote his name in
imperlshable letters in the book Of
heroes.
But it was all in the line Of duty.
The job done he came back TO live
with the simple folks from whom he
sprang. He returned TO a frugal
life Of heavy toll and light reward,
to wrest a scant living from the
reluctant hills.
His God IS not easy money-but
the just God Of homely faith.
OF such stuff are heroes made.

BY GAYLORD NELSON

~ ONE millions of words have
ID been thought, uttered and
- written in the past few weeks
about the regulation Of our down
town traffic.
And now definite step has been
taken in the right direction.
-Four signals of the silent police
man type have been installed on the
corners Of the intersection of Merid-
ian and Ohio SITS. Two blink at the
north and south traffic and two at
the east and west.
The red and green stop" and
Ego" lights fash every thirty five
seconds.
The signals are neat in design, suf-
ficiently conspicuous to be effective,
and vastly superior to the ungainly
towers sprawling over the Washing
ton st. landscape.
Perhaps they lack the personality
of the blue-coated law. But they
are always on the job.
The handsomest ponjola bob in
captivity atop the most exquisite
beauty in Indianapolis, won't cause
these traffic guardians to turn their
heads for a second eyeful.
Nor will they hold up traffic to
converse with a passing friend.
OF course they can't sprint down
the street after traffic malefactor.
But even with the human cop on
duty there are always infractions of
the law.
An earnest lawbreaker manages
to ply his trade under any adverse
conditions-until no is killed off.
Downtown could use more of these
silent cops.

Democrats in Colorado

DefUOtIdtS HI 0piti stAV
In Colorado the Democrats appear
to have the better of the situation at
this time and stand a good prospect
of electing Senator Alva Adams for
the long term and Morris Shafroth
for the short term. Adams victory
will mean the defeat of another New
berryite. Senator Phipps being his
opponent.
In Delaware the result will turn
on quarrels within the Du Pont fam
fly, Coleman Du Pont being the Re
publican nominee, but lacking sup
port of one faction Of the State-Own-
ing family.
David l. Walsh is giving the Re
publicans much trouble in Massa-
chusetts and hope is held out that
he will be able to defeat Speaker Gill
lett even though President Coolidge
registers from that State. In Hi
nois, New Hampshire, West Vir-
ginia and Wyoming, the Democratic
candidates are now regarded as hav-
ing even chances, while in New Mex
leo, New Jersey and Rhode Island
they are quoted at slightly odds
on" favorites in betting circles.
Sure Thing Democratic
The Democratic "sure-thing"
States from a senatorial standpoint
are Alabama, which will return Hef
lin; Arkasas. with Robinson Georgia,
with Harris; Kentucky, with Stan
ley; Louisiana, with Ransdell; Mis-
sissippi, with Harrison; Montana
with Walsh; North Carolina. with
Simmons; Oklahoma, with Walton;
South Carolina, with Blease; Texas,
with Sheppard; Tennessee, with Ty-
son, and Virginia, with Glass.
The Republican sure thing" Sen
ators are Borah of Idaho, Brookhart
of Iowa, Capper of Kansas, Couzens
of Michigan, Norris Of Nebraska,
McNary of Oregon, McMaster of
South Dakota and Fernald Of Maine,
who is already elected.
In this Republican group there
are seven whose leanings are lie
cidedly Progressive, only FernaId
being a real stand-patter.
Granting the Democrats their
thirteen sure" Senators, and the
Republicans their eight, and the
Farmer Laborites their Magnus
Johnson, and dividing the eleven
uncertain contests on a basis Of six
for the Democrats and five for the
Republicans, it will mean that of the
newly eelcted men nineteen will be
Democrats and thirteen Republicans.
In that case the next Senate will
| be composed of forty-seven Demo
Gratis, forty seven Republicans and
two Farmer Laborites. OF the Re
publicans, at least eight will be real
Progressives who, with the Demo
Gratis, offer a guarantee against a
G. o. P. machine dominated Senate
for considerable time to come.
