Can A Mother Mark Her Child
BY DIR. Il. S. Herben

Many mothers will tell you that they
not only can but do. They will cite
all kinds Of examples, telling you how
this one saw an accident and the blood
formed wing shaped pool When the
child was born the next day, it had a
birth mark-a red stain just like blood
and its shape was that of a butterfly.
ut was due to the sight which the
mother had witnessed"
Well-it was not
Birth marks are little tumors made
up of blood vessels and they are pro-
duced by a defective development of
the circulatory system. The excite
ment the mother may have felt had
nothing to do with the matter.
Some mothers say that they are
quite sure that because they spent
hours at the piano before the baby was
born, the child was a musician. Others
read poetry in the hope that they will
make their offspring poets. Many go
to the art galleries to study the paint
ings in the hope that they will have
children famed as artists.
Why is it that some mothers who
do all those things have commonplace
children who have no ear for music,
no love for poetry and are bored by
art? And why is it that the son Of a
woman who by some unfortunate turn
in affairs has to scrub floors for liv-
ing and has to keep up the work until
shortly before the baby arrives, does
not have mOp-complex but may be
singularly gifted as a sculptor?
Let me tell you something. The
moment the two germinative cells
unite, new life began, its characters
tics were all there at that moment.
They may be characteristics domin-
antly the mothers or they may he
those of the father; certainly they
will be a mixture of qualities which
came down from all the ancestors of
both parents. A child may be more
like his eat-great-grand- mother
than like either. He will have inher-
ent talents at the moment of concep-
tion and If he is not member Of n
family with talent or previously active
talent, all the hours spent at the piano
will not make him a musician.
What a terrible race of monsters
we should have in the world If mater.
nal emotions, aroused by the sights
and accidents of the day, or If her
activities could mark" the unborn,
helpless infant! That it is impossible
for a mother to mark" child, we
should be thankful

Text of Resolution

AN-Ah VI ASN'OANNAA
The resolution, copy of which ap-
peared in Sundays Gazette, is as fol-
lows:
"We, your committee on Evolution,
appointed by this body, submit the fol
lowing
'Whereas, the theory of evolution
that is taught today in our govern
ments, and that is taught from text
books in our public schools and col
leges, is in absolute contradiction to
the teaching of the Bible; and for us
as a protestant people who claim to
have some intelligence to take our
children into the thousands of church
es of our nation on the Lords day
and teach them that there is God,
Christ and a Holy Spirit, and that
the Bible is true, that it was written
by inspiration, that We were created in
the image and likeness of God, that
there Is a heaven and. hell, and that
we have a soul to be lost or saved,
and then on Monday morning send
them into the public schools of our
land for learned and trained teachers
to drill them five days a week on the
theory of evolution of no God or
Christ, no heaven or hell, and that
man came from the lower animal race,
is an unintelligent act on our part;
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That
we, the Antioch Association of Free
will Baptist faith, now in session with
Shiloh church near Atkins, Pope
county, denounce the theory of evolu-
tion and claim our prominence over
the lower animal race: that We de-
mand the adoption of textbooks free
from this theory.
Furthermore, we will not knowing
ly employ any teacher in our public
schools who would be likely to sustain
this theory that we will use our vote
and influence to have a law passed in
Arkansas prohibiting the teaching of
evolution in our public schools, high
schools. colleges, and all other schools
of any kind supported in any part
by the state that we ask the cO-Opera-
tion of every Protestant church de-
nomination in this Christian land and
every fair-thinking individual to join
us in our effort to put down this evil"

CHURCH SEEKS TO BAR
EVOLUTION TEACHING

The prediction that movement will
be started in Arkansas to have the
theory of evolution barred from the
public schools OF the state, and that
the next General Assembly will have
to wrangle with this question, seems
to have been well founded for that
movement already has been launched
1t was launched at Atkins, Pope
county, last week when the Antioch
Association of Freewill Baptlsts adopt
ed a resolution deploring the teaching
of this theory and urging support OF, a
law to prevent the theory of evolution
from being taught by any school in
Arkansas supported wholly or in part
by the public funds.
The resolution charges that the
teachers of evolution preach that
there is no God, no Christ, and no
heaven or helr'-sOmething that has
not been brought out before in argu-
ments on that question. The resolu-
tion also points out an alleged incon-
sistency in that the Bible is taught to
childrsa on Sunday and the theory OF
evolution, alleged to be in conflict with
the Bible, is taught five days of the
week

Death Valley Scotty, so much in

few months ago said to be in Oregon
and dead broke, as a matter of fact
is now, and has been for some years
past, in the northern end of Death
Valley
a large building, not wholly com
pleted, is what Scotty terms his
home" One room is filled with i'm
ported Chinese furniture, most of
which has not been unpacked from
its woven grass wrappings. The duty
on these items of luxury is said to
have amounted to $4,000. Another
room is full OF beds, mattresses and
sole leather carrying bags, which are
part of pack outfits worth S125
each. Still another room is fitted as
an office with the most expensive
walnut furniture, while provisions
carried on hand are sufficient for a
number of people for at least two
years.

home. He also said his partner, AL
bert H. Johnson of Chicago, will
build million-dollar home on a hill
close by.
1t was rather difficult to estimate
just how much Scotty spent on i'm
provements so far, as conditions are
much different where the freight on
a carload of cement is more than the
cost of the cement, and then it has
to be trucked twenty miles in addi-
ton. So far, five carloads of cement
have been hauled in, and everything
else accordingly. The automobiles,
trucks and tractors alone represent a
large sum, so it is probable that
$15O,00O would not cover the outlay
to date-Times.
