NEW YORK, June 12.-While John
i. scopes. high school teacher, was
Tne.urn1ng today from New York to
layton, Tenn, his counsel were
orushing up on the intricacies Of the
rise OF man, and there was much dis
cussion or the part radicals are play
lns In arrangements for the defense
OF scopes on a charge of violating the
STATE law against teaching evolution.
clarence Darrow, Bainbridge Colby
ana Dudley Field Malone, assistant
oeIense counsel, visited the American
museum of Natural History yester-
aay. Iney saw In the hall Of the Age
OF man specimens showing the evolu-
tlon or man and the evolution of the
morse. They conferred with Prof.
Henry Fairfield Osborn, noted au.
tnority on evolution and president of
tne museum, who promised aid in
lining up scientific witnesses. When
scopes visited the museum several
days ago Prof. Osborn warned him
not to let radicals run the case.
IN this connection the New York
Evening Post says:
Greenwich Village is on it's way
TO Rhea County. There shortly will
descend upon Dayton, Tenn, tho

cranks, including agnostics. atheists,
communists, syndicalists and new

The Scopes case, teachers, research
workers, biologists and other men of

OF professional martyrs and a swarm
Of practicing egoists."

WARNS PARKING HOGS
TO OBEY NOTICE SLIP

Judge Gus A. Schuldt, presiding
magistrate Of the Police Court, today
served notice on all Washington mo-
torists that in the future those who
disregard notices left in their auto
mobiles by policemen for violations of
the parking laws will be dealt with
severely when brought into court.
The habit Of tearing up those no
tices summoning owners Of automo-
biles to court or to the various pre-
cincts must STOP" the judge declared.
Parking hogs have had the opinion
in the past that these notices are not
legal summons because they were not
served in person. This is not so, and
notice is now served on the public
that they must be obeyed"
This decision was the outcome of
many warrants issued during the past
few days for persons who have dis
regarded the notices and ultimately
brought into court. They were told
that in the future heavier fines would
be levied upon them when it was
proven that a notice had been left in
their car.
The judge also contended that the
burden Of the proof would be on the
defendant to show that he did not re.
ceive such a notice in his machine.

CA|LLAUX DEMANDS
BUDGET REDUCTION
Will Cut Increases to Third
of Requested Amounts to
Insure Economy.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, June 12.-Finance Minis
ter Caillaux today urged a policy of
economy at a meeting of the French
cabinet. The ministers promised him
they would trim expenses to the
utmost. NJ. Caillaux said France
must live within her income and
must get that income by taxation
alone, if she expected the world to
have confidence in French finance.
NJ. Caillaux gave out an extract
from a letter he had sent cabinet
ministers in which he told them he
could not accept their estimates of
expenditures for their departments
for next year.
He wrote that he would reduce all
their budget increases to one-third Of
the requested amounts and would have
his own staff revise the estimates he
regarded as excessive.
Announce Details Later.
After his fourth successive confer
ence with parliamentarians regarding
his financial measures, NJ. Caillaux
said he would announce details of his
financial rehabilitation plan as soon as
this years budget is voted by Par
Lament.
Today's conference was held in NJ.
Caillaux's Office; where a group repre-
senting the left bloc discussed their
differences with the finance minister.
The only announcement made after
the meeting was that it had been def
nitely agreed that 1900. 100000 francs
of the receipts from the Dawes plan
payments this year will be used by
France as budget receipts, but that
next year the Dawes payments will
be devoted to payment Of French
debts, reconstruction and other pur-
poses.

CLEVELAND BUILDS
/ ENTIRE CAR COMPLETE

: When the Cleveland Six started to
manufacture motor cars years ago, the
policy of building as much Of the mo-
tor car Us possible in its own plant
was adopted. TO this day. this method
of manufacture has been adhered to
with the result that practically the
entire car is now built in Cleveland
Six plants, according to the Southern
Motor Sales company.
y So successfully has this plan work
ed out with the building Of, the Spe.
cial ,Six series. that the same pro-
cedure is being followed out in the
construction of the new Cleveland
Standard Six. the companion Of the
Special Six Cleveland.
Those vital, units such as the mile.
age and Standard Six motors, rear
axles. transmissions and open ear bod
les from which a great deal of serv-
ice IS naturally expected, are built
entirely, in Cleveland shops. Cleve-
land even goes so far as TO cut its
own rear axle and transmission gears:

big electric enameling ovens enamel
finish all sheet metal parts without
the aid of human hand after being
placed on the big conyeyor system.

arc given q large share Of the
blame for the high automobile
accident rate in an American
automobile Association statement
today in which the need for bet
ter motor car passengers is fea-
-tured equally with the need for
better drivers.
Many accidents have their
origin in the thoughts and ac-
tiOns Of the members Of the

and the result is the automobile
driver is often handicapped by
the inexperience Of the persons
he transports.
