BELIEVING WHAT YOU HEAR

This controversy between religion and science about the

But does it to these scientists that at least
IS per cent of their scientific knowledge is also based

For instance scieptst will take oath that the skull

COOLIDGE OR CHAOS
Duluth Herald)

Duluth Herald)
The news that Chairman Butler
OF the Republican national COM
mittee brought to Chicago head
quarters yesterday, that Mr.. Davis
is virtually eliminated from the
presidential contest. may be start
ling news to some parts Of the
country, but it is no surprise out
here.
The contest is not, as it Ordi-
narily would be, between the Re-
publican candidate and the Demo-
cratic candidate.
1t is not even a contest between
the Republican president and Mr..
LaFollette.
1t is nearer contest between
President Coolidge and Brother
Charley Bryan.
And in view of what would hap
pen if. on the day after election, it
were discovered that the electora
college would be unable to elect a
president, that the election would
be thrown into the turmoil of con-
gress, that the house would
wrangle and fail to elect pres
ident, that the senate would
wrangle and perhaps ultimately
make Mr.. Bryan president. and
that in the long meanwhile bust
ness would be staggered by the re-
stuling uncertainty and confusion
this means that the issue really is
this:
Coolidge. or chaos.

WHAT THE RAILROADS HAVE DONE

An Illuminating address was given by Charles Donnely
president of the Northern Pacific Railroad before the
American Legion convention in st. Paul. Mr. Donnely
spoke the American railroad problem, from the stand
point of who had spent much of his life in railroad
service
With natural pride in the work of himself and others
in the railroad he undertook show that the rail
roads managed efficiently and economically and that they
have been better managed under private ownership than
when under government control The contrast impressive
Mr.. Donnelly pointed that in September 1920 the
operating of Glass railroads averaged little Tess

In June. 1924 they averaged only ST. per Day

period and reduction in wages later, yet Mr. Donney

New York, >sept.16.-"The Prince
is great guy"
That is the tribute paid the Prince
of Wales by his chauffeur.
1t probably is the most sincere
and dependable tribute paid the Wis
iting nobleman since no man is
faultless in the eyes of his valet or
chauffeur or masseur.
l talked with the Princes chauf-
feur for 80 minutes but he was
sworn to secrecy concerning lntl-
mate details. Just good chauf-
feur.
The Prince appears to be as bored
as American crowds are excited to
get even a fleeing glimpse of him.
He probably would give many dollars
to spend week in a one-room flat
in Harlem.
The other day thin woman with
a ragged fur collar and small child
hung before the gate of the Princes
American home. She was Mrs.
Kathering Tudor Vermillion who
claims to be the last living descend
ant of Henry VIII of England and
the ruling family Of Tudor. Ad-
mittance was refused her.

Prince walked on forbidden ground.
A track attendant ordered him away.

he went east.
We drove directly from the sta

the door by a Jap houseman and a

AS we crossed the threshold after
viewing all Los Angeles which lay

Wipe them thoroughly, particu-
larly between the toes. Cut the nails
square and be careful they are not
trimmed below the top of the toes;
otherwise ingrown toenais may de-
velop.
The proper time for the foot bath
is at night. Whether hot or cold
water is used depends upon the con-
stitution and habits of the person.
For persons of advanced age
tepid bath is best; particularly if
they are subject to rheumatism.
Quite old people should not, as
rule, take regular foot baths but
sponge bath once or twice week
will suffice.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"The very idea" said Mister Snip
Snap "The very idea of Mrs. Cot
tontail saying that the shoes she
bought for Cutie cottontail were no
good"
otis very queer!" said Nick. "Be-
cause she said she wanted good
shoes for him to wear to school, so
got her the incest ones we had in
the store with copper toes and ev-
erything."
"Something must be wrong" said
Nancy.
SWELL" said Mister Snip Snap
thoughtfully, "l've heard of school
being hard on heads sometimes, but
it's the very first time in all my life
that I've ever heard that it was hard
on feet"
They all talked it over and talked
j. over, and at last it was decided
that something was wrong. very
much wrong indeed, with Cutie Cot
tontairs new shoes.
Why they should wear into holes
in such short time nobody could
think!
81 tell you, Twins" said Mister
Snip Snap. you'll just have to go
and visit the Meadow Grove School
| tomorrow and find out what makes
Cutie Cottontail's shoes wear out"
So bright and early when the clock
struck nine and Mister Scribble
Scratch, the fairy school master, had
finished calling the roll, Nancy and
Nick arrived at the school in the
woods and said they had come to
visit.
"That's very NICE" said Mister
Scribble Scratch "Sit right here
and you can see everything. Make
yourselves at home"
He set out two chairs and the
Twins thanked him and sat down.
They saw Cutie Cottontai first
thing, in the first seat in the third
row in front of the teachers desk.
They could see his shoes, too, and
just as Mrs. Cottontail had said,
they were certainly worn out.
First We'll have spelling" said
Mister Scribble Scratch, the fairy
schoolmaster. "Put your headings on
your states, boys and girls"
All the little woods children be-
gan to write at once. Scamper Squir-
rel made his tongue go as fast as
his pencil and Colby Coon made his
eyes go up and down, and Cutie Cot
tontail wriggled his ears, but nobody
moved his feet scarcely during the
whole lesson. And Mister Scribble
Scratch called out ten words to
write.
No! Spelling wasn't hard on shoes.
That couldn't be the trouble at all!
1t must be something else.
"Well now have arithmetic" said
Mister Scribble Scratch, putting five
problems on the blackboard.
Slate pencils started to scratch
again like rusty door hinges and
such counting up as there was on
fingers! But nobody used his feet
much, so the Twins decided that it
wasn't the number work that was
wearing out Cutie's shoes, either.
Next they had reading, and every
body got turn. Cutie read line
like this, "'Cheer up, cheer up said
Mrs. Robin, cherries are ripe"
But all he did was to stand up and
sit down again after he was through
Reading wasn't hard on shoes, either
Then they sang ssong and
marched around the room once. But
that couldn't hurt pair Of shoes
any more than a fly could wear out
a window pane.
1t was still mystery how Cutie
CottontaiPs shoes could be worn out
SO dreadfully after only three days
OF school.

And with q stern, majestic mien,
He broods DER all the world;
Perhaps he's thinking of the day,
When Wilderness was king,
And DER the 'boundless plains and hills.
He flew, on tireless wing.

While forests grew and fell;
From where. be used to rear his young,
And have his ancient homes,
