Finance Corporation, one Of the
choicest posts in the Federal serv-
ice, is one Of the ron1ances of the
Government service which may be

today by William G. Deming, presi-
dent of the Ciyil Service Commits

Director Harrison began his work
for the Government as a messen-
ger boy in the Department of Agri-
culture and. without assistance
other than his own initiative and
application, rose to one Of the top
rungs in the Federal service, Presi-
dent Deming said.
Through study at night and hard
work by day, Mr.. Harrison rose
the position Of assistant to the
Secretary of Agriculture and then
to the head Of the finance corpora
ton.
"Mr. Harrison is one of the

Continued from First PagcJ
he has made bearing even indirect.
~ on that subject.
Gospel Of Right Living.
In one speech in particular, that
delivered before a group of mis-.
sionaries in washington, he told
his audience they would do far
more good by preaching the gospel
Of fright living than by seeking
to teach in detail the many tenets
of their particular branches of the
church. He admonished these ennis
saries Of the Christian religion that
not all was perfect in their faith;
that, in fact, they might even learn
something from those they sought
to convert.
Two elements in the trial at Day
ton interest Mr.. Coolidge especially.
The first is the possibility OF in.
lection Of mob psychology into
the evolution controversy, and the
second, following directly in line,
is the attempt OF Bryan. as the out
standing member OF the prosacu.
ton in the Scopes trial, TO force a
constitutional amendment that in.
evitably would bring about even
greater differences than the lsrohi.
bition amendment.
The President Is aware Of the
magnetic personality Of the com.
moner, displayed so forcefullv in
three Presidential campaigns OF the
past. Hes is watching with interest
the attempt of Bryan to stir UP a
national sentiment against the
monkey theory" with the ultimate
goal OF another constitutional
amendment designed to safeguard
the literal teachings Of the Bible.
And, co1stitutionalist that he Ii,
the executive also is concerned
with the effort to secure an addi-s
tional article that would divide the
American nation into two distinct
camps on the most dangerous of
all questions--religion.
Insofar as his personal opinions
on the theory Of evolution are con-
cerned, the President is remaining
silent. His views, however, are
known to be the most liberal on
the general subject OF religion. He
worships weekly in the Congrega-
tional Church, regarded as one OF
the more modern branches Of the
church.
The Reverend Doctor Jason Noble
Pierce, pastor of the Presidents
church in Washington, is looked
upon as an advocate of the Darwin
theory, and only last sunday here
in Massachusetts,, Mr. and Mrs.
Coolidge listened to a sermon de-
livered by the Reverend Doctor
William Fl. Spence. OF the Taber-
nacle Church OF Salem, which gen.
orally was interpreted as an enun-
citation OF approval Of the theory
of evolution.

men will be given instruction at

Another group will go there for in

The headlight regulation provides
that each motorist must so equip
his car that he can clearly dis.

PARIS, July 1.-THE Tennessee
monkey trial today attracted the
interest of Andre Billy, co.umnist
Of the Petit Journal, who recalls to
his countrymen the old adage about
people who live in glass houses.
How many Of you laugh be-
cause Dayton jurymen are honest
enough to admit they never heard
of evolution" queries M. Billy.
Have yourselves heard of Rene
Quinton who recently died, un'

IN. QuintOn contended that
