MUCH ADVICE IS
 GIVEN LAWYERS
Those in Scopes Case Find Their
 Mail Flooded

Winchester, Tenn, June 1s, R- As usual in the case of famous trials. the mail box of the judge who will preside at the evolution law test case at Dayton, July 10. and of other persons connected with the lltiga- tion, recently have been overflowing with unsolicited communications per taining to the coming struggle.
 Attorney General Stewart said that lis mail was overloaded with ap- plications from lawyers from all aarts of the country urging that they be permitted to take an active part on ono side or the other. Judge John T. Raulston also reported a bombardment of communications, many of them apparently from cranks. Some of the letters he read, but others were so incoherent and iIlegible that he bundled them to- gether and placed them In his ob- solete file.
 Mir. Stewart in statement said that he feared that the legal phase of the case was about to be lost sight of, explaining that the question involved was the validity of the Ten nessee law prohibiting the. teaching of evolutioH,s 7
 "The questions involved h such a case will he presented in the Scopes affair" he declared, "are manitestIy for thinkers and sane, sincere and loyal Americans. The lineup certain ly has the color of 'fanaticism Vs' tolerance " .,. :"
 In. a statement to newspapermen yesterday at Chattanooga, John T. Scopes, the defendant, declared that while he was believer in evolution he also was Christian and believed that the bible was divinly inspired He expressed the opinion that there was no conflict between science and religion.
 Scopes application for his old position as teacher in the Rhea county High school next term will not be acted upon until after the trial, it was stated. At the same time, Walter White, superintendent or schools, and prosecutor of the case, said that he would not recommend any one as a teacher who was not d fundamentalist,

M ARTIIA WHITESIDE was
lVk lonely old woman. She lived in
little gray cottage on Bank
street She had no relatives and very
few friends. But this fact did not
seem to bother her very much-at
least the town thought it did not And
gradually even the few frien s she
had moved away or forgot her, or
died so that often she spent days
without seeing a soul The town felt
that she did not wa1t any of it, 50 the
town let her alone; left her to herself
and the money she was boarding so
closely. She was voted miser and
grabbed old woman.
But as it often happens in this world
the town misunderstood. Martha was
neither a miSer nor grabbed old
woman. Instead she craved love and
affection and would have given worlds
to be able to help in every good and
worth while cause that came up. But
she cOuldn't-fOr contrary TO the be-
lief of the town Martha was poOr-sO
poor that she often had to go without
the barest necessities so that the tiny
income that was hers might stretch
over year But she was too proud
to let this fact ever be known-too
loyal to the memory of her easy-going
husband to let the town know he had
left her so badly off.
A few days before Christmas Martha
answered the pOstman's ring with as
tOnishment She seldom got q letter
now and a registered letter was some
thing she had not seen for years With
trembling fingers she drew forth
check, made out to the order of Mar
tha, Whiteside, and the amount was
$500 She stared at it for a moment.
then she remembered the contest she
had entered There was so much
spare time on her hands she had
worked over it many hours. 1t seemed
unbelievable that she had won the
first prize, but it must be true.
That Christmas the town became
acquainted with the real Martha White
side; a woman. whose greatest joy in
life seemed to be found in giving and
serving and from then on the town
took her to its heart Perhaps because
understanding dawned upon it.-Kath-
crime Edelman.

HAPPY GRANDMA
AND CHRISTMAS DAY

THE family had Just completed an
excellent Christmas dinner. From
first course to last, including
stuHine and "HXin's." Ft was by far
ESQ they all declared) the best dinner
ever eaten by anybody. They acted
as if they knew about every dinner in
Christendom. But this is a common
failing of those who are happy and
satisfied.
COUSINS, nephews, nieces and chill
dren sat themS elves down on cushions
in front of the blazing fireplace.
Mothers and fathers, uncles ana
aunts found comfortable chairs.
Grandfather stood filling his pipe from
a bowl of tobacco on a stand. Grand
ma, pink and lovely as flower, fold
ed her hands in, her black satin lap
and smiled at every one.
Grandma" declared young voice
that fluted like a blackbird's, "is the
most wonderful person in the world.
She's younger than the youngest OF
us here, and prettier than anyone in
give us her secret of youth"
Grandfather was pleased. Why
shouldn't he be? He glanced proudly
at his dainty wife. "Tll tell you why
she's so young and beautiful he said;
its because, my children, she's a
windmill"
"A windmill !" shouted every one.
"Just that" said grandfather. "And
she's forever turning. with the Wind
of-Good-Will. She goes round so fast
that she hasn't time to think of any
thing but pumping up kind thoughts
from the Well Of Generosity. But
the best of it is, that grandma" here
grandfather shook solemn fore
finger at everybody, the cat included,
"the best of it is, that she is so built
that she can't turn in bad wind -
"What do you mean by that?' again
shouted the children.

kind of triumphant manner, that an
i'll wind can no more influence your
grandmother than it can blow sun
shine away from the sun She won't
turn AN inch in it, But send along
fine, strong wind of joy-and
away your grandmother goes a thou

"Pshaw!" laughed grandmother,
''how you talk :"
But after thinking about it for some
time, the cousins, nepheWs, nieces,
children and aunts and uncles agreed
exactly with grandfather.

declared. Lets ask grandma to teach
us all how to turn into the right kind

Step Toward That End.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 26.-A dispatch
from Stockholm today to the American
Swedish News Exchange here trans
mitted a report from Reval to the If
feet that the government of Esthonia
had leased to Great Britain for long
period the Islands of Dagoe and Oesel
in the Baltic Sea just south of the
Gulf of Finland. The dispatch said this
was interpreted in Stockholm to mean
that Great Britain intended to use
these islands as a naval base which
could dominate northern Europe.
1t was Stockholm's opinion, the dis
patch added, that the Soviet govern
ment will protest the construction by
Great Britain of such a naval base be-
cause the islands. before the war Rus
sian territory. constitute a key to the
Gulf of Finland and to the entrance to
Leningrad.
The dispatch pointed out that the
Baltic Sea has been a sort of mo
mans water" since the elimina ton as
result of the World War, Of both the
German and Russian Baltic fleets.
Since the disappearance Of these two
fleets France has sent several naval
expeditions to the Baltic, the Poles
have discussed plans for building a
navy with the aid of France at the
mouth of the Vistula River and the
British press frequently has discussed
the urgency Of settling the question of
naval control in the Baltic.
