DAYTON, Tenn, July 17.-Miss
Doris Stevens, wife OF Dudley
Field Malone and vice president
of the National Woman's Party,
found one fault today with the
Scopes anti-evolution trial.
lit is a womanless trial." said
the first Lucy Stoner" ever to
visit Dayton. 1T is indicative of
the way in which men still ignore
women in such affairs. And yet,
women are as vitality interested as
men in the teaching of evolution.
Women must be taught; they are
teachers, and they want to know
the truth. Yet. there isn't a
woman connected with the trial.
1t is a disappointment.
Miss Stevens declared women
all over the country were inter-
ested in the Scopes case. From
the tea rooms of New York to
the backfence chats Of San Fran
cisco, she said, women are talking
about the trial. And most of
them, she added, are evolutionists.

bursted blood vessel in his right
eye, causing him much distress.
The attorney attended today's
sessions, after receiving treatment
from local physician.
Judge John T. Raulston has
inaugurated a system of recesses
in court because Of the intense
heat and high humidity. Each
time, the judge orders a rest, one
of the uniformed police attendants
shouts: "At ease" 1t is the
signal for a dash by newspaper
men to the nearest soft-drink
stand.
The tremendous crowds seriously
testing the courthouse's capacity
have alarmed Rhea county authori-
ties, who asked Judge Raulston
to place a ban on applause. At
the start of each session, the
Judge solemnly warns the audience
not to applaud, for fear vibration
will cause the building to col
lapse. And each time the crowd
finds something to it's taste, it
forgets - about the danger and
applaud it's hearts content.
The ,es trial has done one
thing at lesat for Rhea county.

Dayton has credited with an

Dinosaurs lived long before there
were any people on earth. 1t is be
lieved that the last members Of the
tribe died at least 1000. 900 years ago.
We do not know exactly how they
looked-the best we can do is to figure
out their forms from their skeletons.
Some dinosaurs reached a length
of 100 feet. II you pay q visit to the
Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. YOU
can see-side by side--the skeletons of
two long dinosaurs. They are not the
longest Of those discovered, but II they
could come hack to life, they would
certainly startle us. Either one might
stand on the top of a two-story house
and Of he did not break in the roof
put his head down to tho grass on
one side while his tail hung to the
ground on the other.
The dinosaurs of which I speak had
very small heads. long necks, thick
heavy bodies. and tails which never
seemed to end. In rock formed from
hardered mud, traces of the tail which
dragged in soft mud have been found
Tracks of the monsters feet have also
been discovered in the mud rock.
The long dinosaurs appear not to
have fed on other animals. The small
size Of their jaws and the shape of
their teeth lead us to believe that
lney ate only iedVSS, tWl8S ana plants.
Each one probably made away with a
quarter of a ton Of such food in a
day.
Long dinosaurs are believed to have
spent most Of their time in swamps
and near lake shores. Their lengthy
necks were help to them when they
wanted to plunge their heads down
into lake water and bite OF seaweed
growing at the bottom. Those same
long necks enabled them Is stretch
up and MUNICH the leaves of trees.

undoubtedly is coming to its period
of greatest favor this Spring. If YOU
find it suitable and rather like it, then
by all means have YOUR fill of it now
for you can wear jumper costume
for breakfast. luncheon and dinner.
There are jumper frocks for every
and all occa sions.
Yes, we wore jumpers last Summer,
but somehow the last seasons jumper
doesn't look quite right now. There
have been little changes. The most
extreme of the new jumpers are quite
long and are worn With very short,
full skirts that look like nothing in
the world so much as short truffles
about ones hips. Some of the dress
makers are sticking to shorter
jumper. so that the shortness of the
skirt is not so stressed: but the best

places. the land is rising. These
movements are very slow, but they
will make a great deal Of difference
a million years from now. North
America will not have the same shape
it has today. Africa, South America
and the other continents will have
different sizes and shapes.
Scientists have proved that the
continents have been changing in
shape for many millions of years.
Alaska was joined to Asia. Great
Britain was once Joined to Europe.
Ocean waters, at one time or another,
have covered almost every part of
North America.
How do we know all this? How
can we tell, for instance. that the
State of Kansas or Maryland was
once below the sea? The facts have
been learned by earnest study. Dig
ging down in Maryland or Kansas,
we come to layers of rock which con.
of the ocean. We know that these
creatures could not have lived in fresh
water, so we must decide that Kansas
and Maryland were once under the
sea. There are other proofs, too.
II the continents have been chang
ing down through the ages, 1t is little
wonder that animal life should also
have changed. This has indeed been
the case. Layers of rock contain the
remains of almost countless animals
which onced lived. but which live no
more. The deepest layers contain the
bones of the animals which lived
longest ago.
The alligator and the lowly lizard
are descendants of a group of animals
of very different shapes. Mounted in
public museums, we can today see the
skeletons Of dinosaurs. That name
means terrible lizards

bined with cream or white in the
clothes for Southern wear. And the
Palm Beach picture would apparently
not be complete without its touch Of
red. but lovely light. f1owerlike
shade of red that seems especially ap-
propriate. There are scarfs half
white and half red. in two wide

with a band of red, red parasols.
frocks of red satin crepe, worn be-
meath cream colored kasha coats; red
facings on white flannel.
All shades of pink seem to be play
ing an important role. But pink
seems somehow smarter for daytime
and sport wear, in frocks made with
the utmost simplicity, than for the
Ella borate evening frock. The French
dresSmakerS planning clothes for the
Riviera and other resorts in southern
Europe have worked much in petal
shades of pink. One of them. we
hear, has stressed mauve for all man
ner of sports wear: but word has alAp
gone about that mauve is not so much
in the picture now as it was last sea
son.
There are green's a-plenty, with en-
pha sis on the more yellow green's. The
sophisticated woman will perhaps
avoid anything too verdantly green
lillS season just because the NnoIS
green range has been rather overdone
of late. The chartreuse or Lanvin
range of green's used this Winter will
still remain good, and a green that
the French call escarolle-named, of
course. after the salad green-has
been spoken of somewhat.
Blue seems to be especially appeal
ing to the woman of rather conserva-
tive taste. There is no danger of its
gaining undue popularity this year.
Meantime some very smart frocks for
Southern wear have been made in
navy blue, in delft blue. in Norma ndy
blue. There are powdery shades of
blue that have an air of great dis
tinction. Gray with blue holds favor
with the more discriminating this
season. with slight chance of becom
ing too popular.
Many women choose a suit part
ofStheir Southern wardrobe. For ex-
ample: A lightweight brown mixed
tweed coat and skirt with dull silk
jumper to match the predominant tone
of the tweed. A fox stole, if YOU can
afford it, gives a smart touch to the
costume. Other women have as little
place in their wardrobes for the suit"
AS ever. They prefer coats of kasha or
tweed or any of the lightweight wool
en- materials of the season and wear
them with one piece or jumper frocks.
The jumper frock, of course, takes pre-
