Fashions Fads
and Fancies
By Mildred Ash

Being well-hecled" used to signify
affluence, but this is no longer so.
Dancing slippers of satin or of metal
brocade are very likely to have dia-
mond-studded heels, whose stones
have none but an ornamental value.
Matching these sparkling heels is the
rhinestone anklet used to encircle one
of the dancers slim ankles,
Not without feminine guile Is the
apparently sin. lie frock Of white chit-
fOn, whose simplicity is merely a hoax
to attract the admiration of the manly
eye that is seeking "a sweet young
thing" such as mother was supposed
to have been when n girl. Girlish,
white frocks are made with tight
bodice and an extremely full, cir
cular skirt, appliqucd with roses or
circles of brightly colored velvet,
With such n frock are worn satin
slippers of the same tone as the ap-
plique.
Very tricky is the newest purse
leather, called "ostrich-calfskin," but
being related only in appearance to
real ostrich. Bearing the markings
and color of ostrich skin, this good
grade of calfskm combines the
smartness of ostrich with the endur.
ance of calf. Purses, both envelope
and pouch models, belts and shoes
are very stunning when made Of it.
Turning her back upon ripping
flares, Dame Fashion presents the
simplicity Of a straight front. But
behind her back things are quite diff
ferent; the back of her chiffon or
satin frock has all OF the fluttering
fullness that previously was won't to
form a graceful front.

WHITE COUNTY MAN
! MAKES FARMING PAY

Bald Knob. March 5.-White county
has become known because of its Ill
yersification Of crops, its not depend
ing on cotton and corn for n living,
and if these two crops fail, being de-
pendent ON others for II livlihood. On
the other hand, strawberry plants
strawberries and other fruit, Irish
potatoes, poultry, milk, butter and
cream are few of the money crops
which predominate in this section.
w. II. Nichols of Bald Knob is an
example of one who believes in iii
yersification. Mr.. Nichols has 100
acres i'm cultivation. OF this he has
40 acres in strawberry plants from
which he has shipped a large number,
He has set 13 acres in new plants and
expects TO set II more, giving him %
acres of fresh plants from which he
expects to ship both plants and berries
i'm the fall of 1925 and in the spring
of 1926.
Mr.. Nichols shipped to southern
Louisiana last fall between 10000
600 and 12,000O00 plants of the Klon-
dyke variety. These plants sell at
from $3.50 to $3.50 per thousand. He
expects to ship to Northern markets
this spring. about 2,0O0,000 Aroma
plants. He not only ships plants, but
he sells berries also, having shipped
about four cars last year. He is plan
ming to do as wen, if not better this
year.

sell as high as SO per thousand. He
saws that one night he had a car put
ON the track for him during the fail

or ten helpers packed and loaded that
car with 100000 plants that night,
working until 6 a. IN. About 100 men
had been busy all the day before dig

mark: Hear what Is happening
to that guy who tried to teach
that we are descended from
apes?"
As this is not at all wha. Mr..
Scopes taught nor what Mr.. OAR
win advanced, it might be hslp-
full to give the facts Uoncefning
both sides OF the question. Ma
turally, there can be no argument
as to whether Mr.. Scopes broke
the law OF his State. He did.
But as his trial has developed
into a discussion of the justice
and truth OF that law, rather
than of the Mr.. Scopes individual
act. we will pass over the Indi.
vidual act and attack the larger
problem.
Mr.. Scopes taught modern
biology. Modern biology is based
on the Darwinian thco:y. The
Darwinian theory does NOT say
that man has descended from AN
ape. 1t DOES say that man has
evolved from lowly beginnings.
1t claims that during that evolu-
ton, the Life Force passed
through many phases - that 1t
was first a mere impulse Animal
ing a blob of jelly and thai. as
1t adapted itself, it became more
definite and complex. AS It grew
1t passed through various forms
forms that lived in water and
slime like fish and tadpoles-
forms that climbed up higher on
the beach and breathed dry air
forms that left the beach entirely
and wandered over the land
forms that finally made their
home in the trees and caves,
whose bodies were furnished with
hands and feet, hair and nails,
instead of scales and fins. So at
last, having been something like
a tadpole, something like a snake,
something like squirrel the
Life Force took a form which
was something like an ape and
from that, according to the Oar
winian, theory, has come the crea-
ture We call Man.
There is not space here to state
all the facts which scientists adj

theory, but the widely diversified
developments OF races and indi.
Viduals in our present day is one
of the obvious arguments.

But these conclusions are not

That is the theory and attitude
which John Scopes taught.
On the other hand. the Anti
Darwinians, led by Mr.. Bryan,
say that the Darwinian theory
absolutely denies the Biblical
story. They admit that the Bibl3
il not one book, but a collection
OF books written at widely Sepa-
rated times-many of them not
written until they had been trans
mitted verbally for countless gen.
erations. They also admit that
out Of the great number OF such
books which were assembled, only
certain were saved and these
arbitrarily selected by certain men.
But they maintain that Divine
Authority guided the selection of
these books and the record OF
facts therein and that the facts
must be accepted as given. They
do not say how they know that
this is 80, but they claim that it
is so.
In the preface to the Holman
pronouncing edition (King James
Version) OF the Bible, the follow
ing statement is given as proof
that the Bible is the literal Word
of God: 1.-THE proof that this
collection of literature is the
Word of God is that it possesses
the qualities and powers that be-
long to such a Word. It IS true
and being true 1t appeals to our
sense of the truth and approves
itself to u.s."
No proof Is offered as to WHY
It is true--nor why they are will
ing. to grant that certain passages
may be allegory, but other pas
sages, written in the same mysti-
cal Oriental phraseology, must be
accepted literally.
Genesis is true. That Is
enough" say the Anti-Darwinians.

man was made from actual mud

is heresy."
So today John Scopes Is being
tried as a hereto in Dayton,

the case. Before you discuss it,
YOU should familiarize yourself
with these facts and decide what
part of it all appears reasonable
and reverent to YOU.

THE MOONS BRAKE ON THE EARTH

rotation becomes slower, and slow
or, until at last the MONTH. e.,
the period of the moons revolu-
tion-and the day. e., the Pc
riod of the earth's rotation-be-
come equal. Then the earth and
the moon win each stare into the
never-changing face of the other.
But these are akin to the GER
tain calculations by which astron-
omers foretell the instant of an
eclipse years in advance of its oc-
currence. The mathematics used
is no doubt all right, as far az it
goes, but the material 1t works
upon may be all wrong. However,
when the mathenaticians take a
joy ride they keep off the high
way, so perhaps no harm is done
by specializing about the tidal
birth of the moon.
