'Mama's victory means that she

Mrs. Male asserted, despite the

Governor James e. Ferguson.
Mama, however, has a mind of

when Daddy was governor he
always talked over his problems
with mama before reaching a de.

simply be reversed.
Daddy will cooperate with
mama in every possible way and

breaches On Evolution
While Monkey
Chatters

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 25.-
Opinion was divided today as
to whether the Reverend Colin
O'Farrell, pastor of the First
Baptist Church here had proved
his theory that man was not
descended from monkey.
With q monkey tied to his
pulpit, the Reverend Mr.. O'Far-
rell delivered q hectic sermon
on the evolution Of man, claim
ing that If man was the result
Of evolution he had descended
from an ass.
The frightened monkey chat
tered constantly, the preacher
being forced to shout ct the top
of his voice to be heard before
he finally had the animal re-
moved.
The Reverend Mr.. O'Farrell
declared that the Franks crime
in Chicago and other crimes
could be traced to the arousing
of the brute force in man be-
cause Of the teaching that man
came from a monkey.

ian air ace, who had been missing
since last Thnrsday, when he be-
came lost while accompanying the
American round the.wurld fIiers
from Iceland to Greenland, is safe
on board this ship today. He was
picked up 1875 miles east Of Cape

morning after drifting helpless 100
miles in his disabled seaplane.
Locatelli and his three compan-
ions-a pilot and two mechanicians
ARE not injured but are suffer-

plane was forced down late Thurs
day by motor trouble ~ they were
nearing the Greenland coast in the
vicinity Of Cape Farewell.

The mechanicians attempted to
get the motor in working order,
but the machine was unable to rise
again. 1t was caught by a strong
current, which carried 1T to sea.
