CHIEF ALASKAN
 BIOLOGIST ON
 WAY TOSEW ARD
DR. p. 6. SMITH RETURNS NORTH ON A GENERAL TRIP OF
 INSPECTION

Dr. Philip s. Smith, chief Alaskan geOlogist of the U. & Geological Sur vey, was passenger on the steamship Admiral Evans for Latouche, at which port he disembarked yesterday, ac' cording to officers of the vessel. Dr. Smith succeeded the late Dr. Alfred H. Brooks and is not a newcomer to the Territory by any means. For the last 20 years he has been connected with the departments activities in Alaska. Last year he headed the ex- petition into the Arctic for a survey of the naval oil reserves.
 In a recent transfer of the Bureau of Mines to the Department of Com merce, by acquiring most of the Alas abranch of that bureau, Dr. Smith is quoted as saying that the Geologi- cal Survey had come into pre-eminent contact through B. D. Stewart, who has been acting as head man for the Alaska work of the bureau for some years past. This will enable it to be of more usefulness to the Territory than in former years, it is stated. l Dr. Smith is expected to arrive in Seward within the next few days on a gas boat with which the department is carrying on surveys in this dis trict.

 of Mysterious It"

Tt" The indefinable something. What is it? You must have it to be a successful lover. It is the force which attracts women to men ana men to women. It is the ineXplica- ble quality which makes Valentines, Lew Codys, Gloria Swansons and Peggy Hopkins Joyces.
 Tt" is the word used by Elinor Glyn to describe the attraction. Screen heroines and heroes must have it, the authoress says.
 'Tt," according to Mrs. Glyn, does not require beauty in women or handsomeness in men. It does not require physical perfection, or grace. It is simply the intangible, unex- plainable quality of all lovers.
 The quality, Mrs. Glyn declares, is most readily detected in the eyes, and generally can be found in the

 "1t' was sought when players for the Goldwyn film version of Three Weeks" which plays at the Liberty tonight, Alan Crosland, director of the production, and Mrs. Glyn, found that:
 Aileen Pringle has it. Conrad Ma gle has it. Claire de Lorez has it. Stewart Holes has it. Robert Cain has it. John Sainpolis has it. Other members of the cast of Three Weeks" may have had it but were not selected because of that quality because their roles did not call for it.

Big FIELD DAY
IN GARDI Err

With ideal weather as a setting,
several hundred Orangepen and
their ladies held Field Day and
parade here Saturday after which
followed speeches by high officials
OF the order at the grounds of the
Gardiner Country Club. In the early
morning the spacious grounds Of the
Country Club took on an aspect of
activity when large tents were
pitched by members of the local or
der, and the Savory aroma of beans
baked in the ground permeated the
spot. Daily decorated cars began to
arrive early. many of them without
of State license tags, all bearing Or
ange pennants.
The morning was happily passed

friendship, as the crowd continued
to grow. AT noon dinner was served.

part of the menu. The booths, and
various concessions were well pa
tronized. The parade started at
o'clock with mounted officials
abreast, followed by platoon of
Gardiner police, then the Farming
dale band after which visiting mem
bers of the order, the Richmond
band followed by members of the
local lodge. The procession march
ed from the Country Club down
Brunswick avenue to School street,
Vine street to Water street, to Ran

and back through Windsor street to
Gardiner, through Water street, up
brunswick avenue to the Country
Club where the lines were disbanded.
The remainder of the day and eve
ming was given over to speeches and
festivities.
The estate of the Country Club
was handsomely decorated for the
occasion, as were the grounds and
all concessions. The hall was
thrown open for inspection by the
public. and certainly is a model for
arrangement. On the first floor is
large dining room, Kitchen, secre-
tary's Office, and smoking room. The
main hall is on the second floor, and
has a seating capacity of about four
hundred. 1t is beautifully furnished
in heavy oak furniture, upholstered
in red plush, and Is practically COM
pleted except for the laying of the
hardwood floor. The flooring is al
ready there but on account of SO
many repairs being made around
the property it has not yet been
laid. but will be in the very near
future.
The various committees must have
felt we'll repaid for their labors by
the success of the affair which was
very evident by the manifestations
of pleasure by the large number who
were present.

Offers Position
To Sister of SCOPES

North Sebago, July 12-Dr. Eugene
Heltler Lehman, director of the
Highland Nature Camp here, and for
10 years a summer resident of Maine
is one of the staunchest supporters
of the position of John T. Scopes
now on trial at Dayton, Tenn, on a
charge that he violated the Tennes-
see anti-evolution law.
DIR. Lehman, who has offered a
teaching position, in a New York
school under his direction to Miss
Lea Scopes, sister of John r.
scopes, Saturday night voiced his
protest against the Tennessee effort
to prescribe truth by legislation and
declared his belief that all such eff
forts will fail.
A few days ago DIR. Lehman Of
fered a position to Miss Scopes to
Renaissance and mathematics al
Highland Manor, an exclusive school
Tor girls at Tarrytown, N. Y, which
ne directs in addition to his work
with the camp here He offered the
position to her as soon as he learned
that because of her refusal to recant
her belief in evolution, Miss Scopes
mad been dropped as teacher OF
mathematics in the Augusta Thigh
man school at Paducah, Ky. The
young woman is a graduate of the
University of Kentucky.
When I heard that this younp
woman had so far dedicated herself to
the service of the truth that she was
wiling to give UP a position which
she had desired to hold rather thar
renounce her belief in the teachings
OF science 1 offered her a position al
Highland Manor" said DIR. Lehman
L took that course because l believed
from her attitude in the trying posi-.
ton which she was called to face that
she was of the right type and would
have a beneficial influence over tbs
girls at Highland Manor.
Il also learned that Miss Scenes
services in the Paducah schools were
very satisfactory and that she was q
competent teacher as we'll as a younr
woman of great moral courge."
DIR. Lehman expressed the opinion
that the Scopes trial was entirely out
or Keeping with present day enlight.
eminent and that the Tennessee anti.
evolution law, or any other effort to
prescribe truth by legislation, would
ultimately fail.
DR.. Lehman is well known in tbi,
section and has always taken a grea,
interest In Maine since establishing
MS camp here. He was for severa
years a voter in the town ow Maple,
but of late has found it more con,
Nenient to vote in New York.
