DAYTON, Tenn, July 1O.-Busi-
ness isn't as good as usual in the
little general clothing store which
jim Darwin has run for 35 years in
Dayton Tennessee!
There's a reason!
Some folks who heard about the
Darwinian theory that started all
the monkey business" in Dayton,
got the notion that Jim Earwin
was the man who did it!
A couple of lank mountaineers,
who had been coming down into the
valley to buy socks of jim every
summer, stopped it this year! None
of their money should go to man
who said they sprung from. monkeys,
no street
It's In the Blood
And even the folks who know that
Jim. Darwin and Charles Darwin
are not one and the same, are a bit
leary of Jim's store-for 'this evo-
luton business" is in the bloodI
Jim Darwin admits a bit hest
family that he's an evolutionist! It's
brave thing to say in fundamen-
tallts Dayton. But blood is thick
er than water and "a man must
stand by his kin folk" says Oar
win.
Strangely enough, Dayton, the
scene of the celebrated evolution
trial, is the very spot where the
descendants of Charles Darwin, the
greatest scienstist and prepayment of
evolution, came to settle in Amer
lea.
Jim Harwin's gerat-grandfather
was a brother of Charles Darwin.
He Founded Town
1t was years and years ago that
James Darwin, grandfather Of
Dayton's merchant, came to Rhea
county from Virginia. Here Capt.
w. P. Darwin, father of the mer-
chant, was born.
When ne was a father of sons
he moved to a spot in Rhea Coun-
ty, about six miles from Dayton, set
tied there, and called the town Oar
win Station.
For years this descendant of the
great scientist titled the land here
managed his general store, and
Darwins settled the town as reg,

Lewis and Stecher
Both Claim Title

c h 6 o, May 31-(AP)-Ed
STRANGER" Lewis, conqueror of
Wayne (Big) Mum in their match
at Michigan City, Ind, yesterday, had
received SO many alluring offers to-
night that he was puzzled as to which
one to accept. He was offered a re-
newal of European tour, cancelled
at the time Mum tossed him out of
the ring at Kansas City, a fifteen
week vaudeville engagement and the
opportunity to make a personal APP
pearance with moving pictures of
yesterdays match.
The STRANGER" however, said he
will not make any. decision for at
least two weeks, as he plans to
spend a vacation with his parents at
Nekkoosa, Wis.
The worlds heavyweight wrestling
championship still is in muddle to-
night with Lewis and Joe Stecher.
the Nebraska farmer, both claiming
the title as result of their victories
yesterday.
A settlement probably will not be
made until Lewis and Stecher meet,
and match between them appears
unlikely. Stecher, after defeating the
veteran Stanislaus Zbyszko at st.
Louis yesterday, said he would meet
any legitimate challenger with the
exception of Lewis, who, he declared,
had refused to give him a match
while Lewis reigned as champion.

Indianapolis, May 31-(AP)-Rac-
ing car builders of the United States
will do well to prepared for foreign
invasion next year, 7. A. Myers, man.
ager of the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, declared today. Mr.. N.Y.
ers, happy over the SCATTERING yester-
DAY of both speed and attendance
records at the 1925 automobile rae
ing classic, said he would settle the
affairs of the Memorial Day event es
soon as possible and then turn his
attention to the program for 1926.
The speed creations of this coun-
try, which have easily overcome
few feeble challenges from foreign
cars in the past few years. will en-
counter keen competition next sea-
son, Mr.. Myers predicts.
The foreign engineers have given
their attention to the development of
cars with small bore pistons such as
will be required in the race next year,
Mr.. Myers said, and they will be
ready to match speed with the tiny
motors of American design. The race
rules for 1926 limits the pistol dis
placement of the cars to 81 IL cubic
inches. The size this year was 122
cubic inches.

Local Guard Units
Have an Active Day

The officers and men of the Head
quarters Company Seth Infantry Bril-
gade and of Co. F., 103rd Infantry
participated in two parades on Sat-
urday in observance of Memorial
Day. In addition to the usual parade
in this city the members of the two
outfits went in the morning to the
National Soldiers Home, at Togus
where they assisted with the cere-
mony of decorating the graves at the
Home.
The two organizations left this city
about $50 Saturday morning in
three of the large army trucks and
upon their arrival formed for the
parade. They accompanied the vet
Grams to the large cemetery to the
west of the reservation where the
graves were decorated and the vol
ley was fired by Co. F.
Upon returning to the Home pro-
per they were the guests of the gov
ernor at dinner, partaking of a deli
cious chicken dinner with the veter-
ans in the dining room. A short time
was then allowed for recreation be-
fore returning to this city.
One of the pleasing features of the
recreation period was an impromptu
organ recital by End Lieut.. Harry E.
Farnham of the headquarters. COM
pany. who played several delightful
numbers upon the pipe organ in the
chapel. Governor Keith Ryan was
present and was prevailed upon to
sing, which he did in a most beauti-
full manner He then led the small
group of soldiers in the singing of
well known songs, with Lieut.. Farm
ham playing the organ accompani-
ment. This pleasant entertainment
was not concluded until it was time
for the trucks to return to Augusta.

Make Statement
On Series of Quakes
In u. S. Past Year

Boston, May 31.-(AP)-The
Engineering Economics Foundation.
which is engaged in organizing
knowledge of earthquake hazards,
when asked today for statement on
the earthquake shock reported yes
terday from QueLes, said:
THE news of the quake tremor
of Saturday Is of particular interest
to the foundation at this time as 1t
has only this week been checking
it's figures with figures obtained by
the Dominion observatory at OF
tawa.
THE statement shown to the
foundation says, The series began
on February %, when quakes rock
ed the eastern section of the con-
tinent.' The fact is that the tremor
of May 30 is the thirteenth tremor
of a known series which began July
Ia, 1924, and has continued up to
the present time. Four tremors felt
by men in the northeastern section
of the United States and Canada oc-
Cured in seven and one half months
to February %, the date of the
strongest quake of this series. Nine
iremors felt by men have occurred
in the three months since Febru-
airy 2S.
"The average time between shocks
in the first period was approximate
" two months. The average time
between shocks in the second per-
iod was approximately two weeks,
except for the group of tremors In
late April. Some time ago in pub
fishing a statement of the results of
study of each of these tremors which
had then occurred, the Foundation
said, this series of earthquake tre-
mors in number, in intensity, in
Investigation of the zone of origin
and area affected by the shock is
greater than the inhabited area of
the northeast part of the continent
has known since he earth spasm
of 1865, the year of the great Boston
quake
'Since that statement was made
five tremors have been added to the
list. Each new tremor should,
however, simply drive home the
comforting fact that while we can
not prevent earth shocks we do
know today that 20 per cent of the
loss and suffering from earthquakes
can be prevented"
DR.. Hollis Godfrey. chairman OF
the foundation, who made public
the statement, returned today from
Ottawa where he spent last week
comparing data at the observatory.

Business Mend
More Noticeable
During Past Week

New York, May S1-(AP)-Despit
rather uneventful week in the
principal financial and commodity
markets, signs of increasing busi-
ness activity accumulated. Further
improvement took place in a number
of basic industries and although
gains were moderate they gave in
disputable evidence that constructive
forces were at work in many lines
of trade.
Fereign developments continued to
promis beneficial results for the
trade of the United States and the
rest of the world. With Great Bri-
/, tain maintaining its gold position
satisfactorily and steadily accumu-
lating additional balances. sterling
exchange maintained strong tone
within fraction of dollar parity.
Frenc francs fell below cents, but
anxiety over this reaction was al
layed by reports that the franc might
be revalued on a gold basis around
debt funding problems seemed to be
making progress.
( One of the most tangible indica-
tions of expanding business activity
was found in advancing commodity
gasoline quotations took place and
the leading tire manufacturers an
nounced that their prices would be
raised five to ten percent on June
to conform to the seacoast of crude
rubber, which recently has scared In
value.
Conditions In the steel industry
assumed brighter aspect, both
from the standpoint of production
and of prices. Indications that the
readjustment of output to demand
has been nearly completed were seen
by the weekly trade reviews, while
the price situation of the leading
products was reported more stable.
For the first time in many weeks
a note of encouragement was heard
from the primary textile markets,
which have undergone more severe
depression than most other indust-
ries. Improvement in retail buying
was reported but curtailment of pro-
duction was still urged as one of the
remedies for the lowered vitality of
the cotton and wool goods business.
The volume of freight traffic con-
tinued to set new records. Car load
ings for the third week in May, the
last for which statistics are avail
able, were the highest of the year
and only slightly below the million
car mark. The heavy movement of
freight, however, has not been re-
fiected in the earnings of the rail-
roads. Most of the April reports
showed lower revenues, partly be-
cause the carriers have been sacri-
ficing maximum profits for greater
efficiency and partly because of in
creased outlays for Improvements
and repairs.
In manufacturing activities, the
motor industry has continued to
rank among the first. Record break
ing sales and production have been
reported by several large companies,
and the automotive shares have not
been slow to reflect these business
gains.
