RELIGIOUS HATRED
 LIGHTED AT TRIAL
Rabbi GerShon Hadas Gives
 Views on Scopes Case
DEMOCRACY THREATENED
Hits at Press for Telling People Evolution Means Human Race Is Descended From Monkcys-TaIks to Raeus Club

Indeed, for me Evolution is 3 modern term for the Messioh--the second coming, IL IS the hope given
 man that somehow someWay there is a constant bcttering of his status.
 Such were the words of Rabbi GorShon Hadas addressing members of the Raeus club at their luncheon this noon at the Burrilt hotel. Rabbi IIadas' subject was The Scopes Trial" and his address for the major part was an attempt to adequately distinguish be,Wecn Evolution" and "Durwlnism," and at the same time an endcavor to offer defense for the former which he termed "a grand and highly re- ligious view of the growth of the world" He blamed the press for causing the lay mind to believe that Evolution" and "Darwinism' were one and the same, and added that Evolution does not teach that man descended from monkeys"
 Speaking of the importance of tho trial, Rabbi Hadas said, "'The Scopes trial is to my mind the most impor- tant, the most awful event, l may say. that has taken place within ny member this century. It is of far greater news value to the world than the election of a president, than the making of a tariff, than the event of great var.
 There has been aroused by this trial at Dayton the fires of religious hatred that We all hoped were fully suppressed. There has been de vtloped, as it appears clearly, new forces that threaten the very fOun- dations of American democracy. It is true that there is no danger as yet, perhaps, but unless we take steps to stop the fire there will bc conilagration that will be hard 10 smother. It is q very difficult mat ter 10 rear the experiment that has been made in democracy h"re in America. It is quite easy for dcmagogue to lead a mob to destroy the whole structure"
 Continuing, Rabbi Hadas said in part:
 What are the issues? For time there has been going on in America the attempt 10 bring the influence and the power Of the state to de- fend and rebuild the weakening structure of tho religious organiza- tions. Long ago the doctrine vas propoundcd that it were better to study the rock of ages than the ages Of rock-as if the one precludcd the other. For some three years there has been attempts here and there to bring the pressure of the law 10 force the teaching of religion into the schoOls-to permit at least 10 make the schools dismiss tho chill drcn and send them to religious schoois-as if the 1S0 days of the school year are the whole year and children cannot use the other time for that some 1sO days--hut a'l this vas evNected-we ell es religious people were anxious to see that

Advocating peaceable methods of
 securing their demands, speakers at q mass meeting of striking brick
 workers in Newfeld yesterday, urged the men to resort to no violence in
 the course of their strike for rccog-
 hilton of their union, it is said. The speakers warned the mon against doing damage and also warned them
 not to carry firearms or weapons of , any kind during the strike. The speakers were union organizers and union heads from this section of the state. The session Was attended by
 about 600 striking members of inc ! Clay Workers Union, it is reported. ! It was announced today by mcm- i bcr of the strikers committee from i Berlin that a mass meeting will be | held in KcnSinSton on Sunday aft

 meeting will eclipse the Newfield as

 1 wen stay out until we're rCcoE
 nized, whether il takes five days or

 to be fair and square about every
 thing they do and they bear no par

 CTS freely state that they were treat
 ed right while they were working for the brick manufacturers and that
 they will return to their work when
 the manufacturers agree to recog-
 nize the union, but not before.
 ! It was claimed by a committee member today that several of the
 Berlin yards are completely shut down. He stated that the Berlin Brick company Is 100 per cent, as
 far as the workers are concerned and all the men have walked ont. 1 Others which have workmen 100 per cent for the union, he says, are the Clark Brick yards. Hall-Spier Brick O.. and the Aetna Brick Co, in

 My husband and I often used 10 talk about what should be done in such an event He wanted to be buried in Arlington if it could be arranged, l am trying to arrange it. It was his wish and I think it is proper and fitting, for he batted for America too, and he battled for the God of his fathers, couraEcously, mafrail.
 70, so wanted him to be left for mo for a few years. There are so many things that he was needed for He Was writing his memoirs. The world needs his memoirs. They told of the great stretch of American his tory and we so wanted to make his trip to the Holy Land next Febru- ary,'
 One of Mrs. Bryan's first duties was to telegraph the great common CTS former secretary and intimate friend fo many years, Ben G. Davis. He is now at Takoma Park. a sub urh Of Washington.

GARRETT p. SERVISS TELLS OF
SHADOW BANDS OF SUN
Mysterious Spectacle May Be Observed
During Eclipse in January ID.

" HERE is a somewhat mys-
terious phenomenon con-
II nected with total eclipses
Of the sun which may be visible
during the eclipse of January
"a, and which, since 1t requires
no instruments for its obServa-
ton, may be caught sight of by
anyone who has been warned OF
its existence and instructed how
to watch for 1t.
/ speak Of the remarkable APP
partition called "the shadow
bands"
These appear a little before
the last cleaning edge Of the
sun disappears behind the adj
vancing globe Of the moon. and
again a little after the opposite
edge of the sun bursts into sight
behind the still advancing moon.
They are to be seen on the
ground. but especially on build
ings. walls, etc. A snow slope
close at hand might exhibit them
well, but it is better to look at
the side Of a white or light-col-
ored building that faces the di-
rection of the sun.
They appear, just before, per-
haps a few minutes before, the
complete disappearance of the
sun, and the proper moments for
expecting them are graphically
indicated by our cut. When the
still uncovered edge of the sun
has become an exceedingly thin
crescent about to vanish, you
may look for the shadow bands.

any shadow bands, the reason
being, perhaps, that / was too In
tent upon watching for the out
burst Of the corona, which comes
almost instantly after the last
CLEAN of sunlight vanishes. But
the two phenomena are separated
by a distinct interval of time.
and it is worth while giving a
moment or two to an attempt to
catch sight of the bands. With a
hand camera all prepared it
ought to be easily possible to
photograph them.
Various explanations of the
cause Of these curious Pickering
shadows have been offered. Some
have supposed them to be due to
the indentations in the edge of
the moon produced by the steep
lunar mountains-Streak Of sun
light breaking through the hol-
lows between the peaks.
It is known that "Baily's
Beads" which is an apparent
breaking up of the thin lune-
shaped edge of the sun at the
moment of disappearance, into
many separate portions. is caused
by the irregular profile Of the
lunar mountains, but that 10 a
telescope phenomenon, not visible
to the naked eye. Besides, the
shadow bands are very irregular
in appearance, varying in size,
motion, ETC., so that the best ex-
PLANTATION seems to be that of Pro
lessor Simon Newcomb, who
thought that they were prob.
ably due to "a Pickering Of light
from the thin, crescent Of sun
produced by undulations in the
atmosphere in the same way as
the twinkling of stars is pro-
duced."
This serves to account for their
variability and for the fact that
they are not noticed at all total
eclipses, for their visibility must
depend upon the state of the
atmosphere, the position of the
sun in the sky and other local
circumstances.
The twinklfng of the light OF
star arises from the fact that
being a very narrow beam, any
fluctuations caused by atmos-
pheric undulations, or variations
of refraction, are very noticeable,
while a broad shaft Of light. like
that received from the sun or
any angularly large luminous
body, retains its average bright
ness in spite Of variations that
would affect the whole Of a mar
row beam.
Twinkling is most pronounced
when a star is near the horizon,
and since on this occasion the
sun will not be very high in the
sky at the time of the eclipse.
1t is possible that the shadow
bands may be unusually conspic-
uOuS.
