The example OF Dayton. Tenn,

to breathe the word evolution" to
his or her pupils will get the gate, .
according to a dictum issued by the
town councils education committee.
The trouble in Bootle started las
it did In Dayton--some considerable
time ago, when Councillor Warbur-
ton called the attention of the town
council to the fact that in one of
the local schools q teacher had sug-
gested that the story of Adam ana
Eve was mythical and categorical
rather than an account of actual
happenings In the cradle days of
the world.
Acting on the councillors infor.
nation. the town council appointed
q special committee to investigate
the whole matter. The special com
Inittee came back with the recon.
mendation that religious observ-
ances In grade and grammar
schools should be confined to
hymns, prayers and the reading OF
e portion Of the Scriptures by the
teachers.
The committee also recommended
that in the future when teachers
are appointed it should be i condi-
ton OF their continued employ
nlent that the teachers shall under
take to train the scholars in the
habits Of reverence toward God and
religion and with respect for the
civil and religious institutions of
the country.
These recommendations the town
council unanimously approved and
issued instructions to its education
committee to act accordingly.

CURRAN MAY Be

REMARKS
Ellis Island Chief Alleged to
Have Criticized Davis Inn
migration Policies

Disciplinfng of Henry H. Curran'
immigration commissioner at Ellis
Island, for criticising publicly the
policy Of the Department of Labor
in handling immigration problems,
Is being considered by department
officials, it was learned today. Cur
ran will be asked If he made GER
tain statements reflecting on Labor
Department officials.
Curran is said to have deplored
the fact that Secretary Davis had
arranged for the examination Of
British immigrants before their de-
parture from the British Isles and
aboard ship before their arrival in
this country, so that they might
avoid detention at Ellis Island.
This is dangerous to our coun-
try because our experimental medi-
cal inspection now taking place in
Great Britain cannot possibly be
called a thorough, final medical
examination" Curran Is alleged to
have said. 'sIt is only at Ellis
Island that we can carry out .

On HUSBAND
HUNTERS
English Propose Pension Bar
to Nurses Marrying
Invalid Vets
BY international News Service

LONDON, Aug. 13.-The British
government il not going to aid
husband hunters.
A new widows pension bill be-
fore the House of Commons pro-
vides that "if man marries at the
age of sixty or over, his wife shall
not be entitled to a pension unless
there is child by the marriage,
or unless they have been married
for five years.
Colonel Freemantle, in the House
of Commons, spoke with some feel
ing about the necessity of prevent
ing nurses using their uniforms to
win invalid husbands and pension.
The provision is bitterly attacked
by Laborites. John Wheatly, for.
mer member Of the Cabinet under
the Labor regime, declared:
mo longer does the Conservative
Party believe in the good old
Christian idea that marriages are
made in heaven. We have come
down to running this world on
cruel, unadulterated, materialistic
principles"
Miss Ellen Wilkinson, the fiery,
little red-haired M. P, took up the
cudgels in defense OF her sex and
declared that old gentlemen Of
sixty should have an unobstructed
path to the altar.

The school board wants a fun
