Evolution Defender
Not Shamed BY I
Ancestry
BY InternatiOnal News ieorvIco


COLUMBUS, Ohio, March s.
-"Enemies, Of civilization" is
the characterization applied by
Prof. Joseph A. Leighton, de-
partment Of philosophy, Ohio
State University, in an address
here, to opponents Of the
teaching Of evolution in col
leges and universities.
"False pride prompts many
to reject the theory of evtIl-
ton" said Professor Leighton.
There is no more reason for
men and women to be ashamed
Of their animal ancestry far
back in the past than there is
for a man who has forged his
way to high estate in the world
to be ashamed of his poor old
father and mother in humble
circumstances.
"Science has not discovered
all the secrets Of our gradual
evolution from the animal king
dom, but the subject is being
cleared gradually. Every new
fact and discovery fits in with
the idea Of evolution, as they
do not with any other n.y.
pothesis."

Against Son Of Coco-coIa
King Up Tomorrow.
By international News servlce.

| ATLANTA, Ga, March g.
Despite previous assertions from
attorneys Of both sides that the
famous Gambler Byfield 100000

regardless, the defense attorneys
asked and obtained another con-
tinuation of the hearing, when
the case was called in the De

case to Thursday morning, be-
J CO use of the continued illness of
Schley Howard, defense attorney,
but stated that the case would be
tried tomorrow despite any event
uality.
Mrs. Clyde X. Byfield is suing
Walter T. Gambler, millionaire
sportsman for 100000, charging
assault.
Walter Gambler is the youngest
millionaire soft drink magnate, who
a few weeks ago won the court de-
cision in a half million-dOllar breach
of promise suit brought against him
by Mrs. Onezima De Bouchell, TAM
Gus Southern beauty.
Mrs. Asa G. Gambler, Walter g
young stepmother, was acQuittd
last Monday in the city court here
on charge Of occupancy of dive. "
Pending For Two Years.
Mrs. Byfield charges young Cand-
Ter with assault, which she alleges
took place on the Berengaria when
she and her husband, Mr.. Gambler.
and his two small daughters We're
en- route to Europe in July, 1922.
Mr.. Gambler persuaded her and
her husband to go to Europe, Mrs,
Byfield said, so that she could laid
in looking after his two children"
Mrs. Gambler at that time was
visiting in the Pacific Islands.
1t was when they were one day
out from Europe that the alleged
assault took place, according to
Mrs. Byfield. A farewell party had
been given, she said, at which con-
siderable champagne was consumed
When she had retired from the
party. around Q o'clock at night.
and had gone to bed, Mrs. Byfield
charged that Gambler entered her
stateroom and attacked her. She
said that her husband came in
about that time and staged a fist
fight with the alleged intruder.
AS a result Of the alleged assault,
Mrs. Byfield charges that she ''suf.
fered intense humiliation and
chagrin and became seriously ILL.,"
which she claims is worth 500, 900
to her.
Walter Gambler, through his at
torneys, has denied any improper
conduct. According to his story,
Mr.. Byfield was in an adjoining
state room when he entered Mrs.
Byfield's state room, which he
said he was accustomed to doing.

STEADY TREND
IS SHOWN BY
BUSINESS
Stability Is Keynote Of Pres
ent Status of
Industry.
By MERRYLE S. RUKEYsER.


copyrighted, 1924. by Star Co., Inc.
and distributed by Cosmopolitan
News Service.)
NEW YORK, March 5.-There is
good deal of the spirit of Hamlet
In the financial district today.
Like the Prince Of Denmark.
Wall Street cannot make up its
mind, and has for q fortnight been
neither overwhelming bullish nor
bearish in it's attitude toward Sc
curity prices.
The mental poise of the. masses
who express their opinion by pur-
chases or sales at the stock ex-
change, however, is not wholly H.
logical.
Stability is the keynote of the
present status OF business. Though
the volume of trade is on the whole
good and revealing seasonal improve
ment. conditions are far removed
from the boom status. Certain sec
tons of the country, such as North
Dakota, Montana, and parts Of Kan.
eas, have been depressed because OF
unfavorable conditions in the wheat
and livestock industries, and GER
tain trades, such as the wholesale
textile enterprises, have been find
ing the shedding harder in recent
weeks than the more conspicuously
favored industries, such as steel,
building, and automotive.
Despite normal fluctuations, bust
ness is nearer an equilibrium than
usually is the case. Restraint still
tempers the optimism Of the doors
and thinkers Of commerce. The
spirit Of caution tends to obviate
extraordinary profits and at the
same time to prevent tremendous
losses. Such a state Of business,
though desirable from most stand
points, is not conducive to highly
dramatic situations with quick
transitions from the mountain peaks
OF prosperity to depths Of depres.
sion Wide swings in business
actual. or expected, are the, stuff
out Of which sweeping changes in
security quotations are made.
The movement toward stability in
business in 1923, after the spring
rise, was misinterpreted as a sign
Of depression by the stock market.
BY rise in stock prices from No.
vember through January, the mar.
ket corrected previous excuses on
the selling side, and began to dis
count future favorable development,
such as good general business, tax
reduction, and the reelection in the
fall, of President Coolidge.
A reaction early in February
originated mainly from. technical
developments within the market
place, and was facilitated by fears
and uncertainties regarding political
matters stirred up by oil revelations
and by indications that the Mellon
tax reduction program lacked sup.
port in Congress. Moreover, al
though the reasonable expectations
regarding sound business were being
fulfilled by the, current statistics Of

Gerrit P. Wilder, member of
the territorial house of repre-

board last September while on
his way home to Honolulu from
a visit to Australia. Inside the
bottle was note written by
Mr.. Wilder, requesting that if
the bottle was ever picked up it
should be returned to him here.
Just the other day the bottle
arrived. With it was a note
signed by T. Johnston, Of Nou-
mea, New Caledonia, and dated
December "a, 1923.
The note explained the bottle
had been found by a native
fisherman on Mato Island, south
Of New Caledonia, a distance Of
about 800 miles. It is esti-
mated that the bottle travelled
this distance in about three and
one-half months. Wilder re-
quested it be explained that it
was a soda pop bottle.
