EvOLUTIoNIsTS WIN.
California Biology Text Books Are
Held to Be Accountable,

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, July "a
R.-Fundamentalist and evolution
lists clashed here yesterday over the
question of teaching evolution in the
public schools Of California-and the
evolutionists won.
This In spite Of throwing into the
fray by the fundamentalists of re-

OF the three books on biology which
opponents of the evolutionary theory
sought to have excluded from the
schools and around which the fight
centered, two were found acceptable
by the State Board of Education and
action on the third was deferred tenn
porarily.
Indications were that the third text
book, Biology and Hunmn Welfare,
by Peabody & Hunt, also would be
passed upon favorably. The books
accepted were Gruenberg's Biology

BOSTON, July 24.--The Unitarian

had offered the services of lawyers
among its members to the defense in

Changing of Water Into Vine, Mans Creation and
Other Teachings of Bible Threatened by School
Books, Says Brief in "EuoLution' Case

Here are some of the teachings in
Hunters New Essentials of Biology"
and other science text books approved
for the District public schools this
year. involved in the suit filed in the
local evolution" battle.
Evolution of man: Undoubtedly
there once lived upon the earth races
of men who were much lower in their
mental organization than the present
inhabitants. If we follow the early
history of man upon the earth we
find that at first he must have been
little better than one of the lower
animals. He was a nomad, wander
ing from place to place, living upon
whatever animals he could kill with
he found. Gradually he learned to
use weapons. with which to kill his
prey. first using rough stone imple-
mentS for this purpose. se."-Hunter s
New Essentials of Biology"
Although anatomically there is
greater difference between the lowest
type of monkey and the highest type
of ape than there is between the high
est type of ape and the lowest saw
age, yet there is an immense mental
gap between the ape and man.

that one elemental matter cannot be

mental matter. that something can
not be made out of nothing, whereas
the Holy Bible teaches that God made
full-grown man out of the dust of the
ground in one day; that God made
full-grown woman out of the rib of
the same man the same day; that God
made all the dust of Egypt turn into

Universal gravitation: According
to this law, every material thing in
the universe attracts and Is attracted

Black & Davis practical Physics"
CThe brief states: said Ballou per-
mits the teaching of the principles of
physics that il is impossible
for a living body on the earth TO over
come the infiuenta of the gravity of
the earth and ascend beyond the limit
of vision, whereas the Holy Bible
teaches that Elijah went up into
heaven while he was still alive in a
whiriwind. and that Jesus Christ
ascended into heaven after He arose
from the dead. and that all the dead
shall be resurrected alive and shall
ascend bodily into heaven on the
Judgment day.'D
''The primates: This order. highest
or all the mammals, includes monkeys,
apes and man. There is a great range
from the little squirrel-like marmoset
to the massive gorilla, and from the
horizontal-bodied, fourfooted lemur to
the erect bipe6, man. AS we
approach man in the scale. the body
becomes more erect. Anato-
mlStS do not agree as 10 wnlch Is
nearer man, the chimpanZee or the
gorilla. Cotton Zoology"
The text book General Science" by
William H. Snyder, the latest adopted
for school use and which purports TO
cover a wide general field in physics,
! chemistry. astronomy, biology and
zoology. evidently has been carefully
prepared to guard against just such a
contingency as has arisen.
1t does not mention the evolutionary
theory. In regard to the origin of
the world and life. however, 1t speaks
as follows: 1T is believed that the
whole surface of the earth hardened
from a molten condition, just as lava
from a volcano. Such surface could
not support plant or animal life. Long
ages must have elapsed, bringing slow
but tremendous changes. before con-
ditions became favorable for the sup
port of life. Heat, winds, oxygen,
carbon dioxide and water erosion
worked together to break down every
thing at the surface into SOIL
This might be interpreted as casting
doubt on the literal words of Gensis
that the world was created, life forms
and all, in six days.
Snyder also states that the stars are
distant suns, that the earth Is round,
and that 1t moves in an orbit around
the sun.

have dependable tires for nonstop run

WHEN Lieut.. Leigh Wade, famous
w United States Navy fier, decided
to attempt feat never before success
fully performed namely, crossing the
continent from Los Angeles to New
York without once letting the wheels
of his car stop turning-he realized
that in large measure his success
would depend upon his tires.
He could not afford to put any but
the best on the wheels of his Packard,
and after considering various makes of
tires he selected Kelly Balloons.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL NOTES

ny w. J.I1tlils county agent.
Farmers az a group do not seen to
give advertising the support and
attention that it really deserves.
Agriculture of all the inductries
tends to lag behind in the general
acceptance and practice of this all
important sales medium. If we
were to name a single industry that
could make use of more advertising
space and use it profitably, that in
dustry certainly can be no other
than agriculture. Farmers must
begin to increase their sales by
developing long distant taste in
prospective customers through the
medium of advertising in the proper
newspapers and other regular
periodicals Give the prospective
customer or buyer the opportunity to
know the kind and quality Of your
produce and we'll beaten path is

OF local endeavor, the writer cannot
refrain from mentioning the sue
cessful introduction Of certain
brand of bread that was a total
stranger some three months ago.
This new bread was introduced to
the public through the mediums of
newspapers and posters as "Bamby
Bread, You know how well ac-
quainted it is today amongst the

discussion the above named brands
were brought in to better illustrate
the topic under discussion and not to
signify in any way their superiority

Thus il is entirely a fallacy to CON
slider advertising as an expense added
10 an established volume of business.
Advertising helps to create volume Of
business, good advertising aids
tremendously in securing increased
sales, with the result that marketing
costs as a whole are reduced. Many
firm believers in advertising nave
even made as bold a statement AS 10
declare that advertising is paid for
by the firms who do not advertise. as
they are forced generally to do a
