With the idea of perpetuating the

7ardy Recognition
Of Eue Is Praised
BY N. p. BABCOCK

THE thought that arises foremost
L in ones mind on learning that a
monument to Eve has been erected by
a gentleman in South Carolina, is one
Of wonder that such tribute has been
so long delayed. Our next surprise is
that there should be resentment Of the
gentleman's gracious act on the part
of any of his neighbors. arD
As his fellow brethren and sisters
should we not oil, just at this par
ticular time, be grateful to him for
having reminded US Of our common
ancestry? The monument, instead of
being an avowed tribute TO human
motherhood as we have so long ten
derby conceived it, might so easily have
taken on a vagus protoplasmic or
simian aspect.
1t is not possible for me to take
the view, said to be held by some OF
his neighbors, that the southern gen.
tleman's action can be regarded as
"unseemly levity towards things that
are sacred" because to regard the per-
son Of Eve as sacred" necessitates a
similar view of the Serpent, from
which 1 most positively dissent.
REALLY NOT FIRST.
The only just criticism that can be
made Of the gentleman's proceedings
lies, it seems to me, in his having in
troduced, below the words, ain Mem
DRY Of Eve, the First Woman" the
carved form OF an-apple--horrid re-
minder Of her one transgression.
To think Of Eve only as the origi-
nal type Of human motherhood Is to
find nothing but compassion for her,
and through her, for motherhood in
general.
1t will perhaps come as a surprise
to many persons, as II has to me, to
learn that the erection Of this monu-
ment to Eve is not the first recogni-
ton, BY means Of an out-of-doors en-
plem, that has been paid to the mem

Testing for Russia's entrance into the
League seems to me to be based main
ly on their desire to promote the sue
cess of that body, which can never
tackle the subject Of disarmament
with Russia left out.
Whatever may be the cause Of their
eagerness, the fact that our attitude
to the League of Nations has been
unwarrantably entangled with the
question of a general settlement is
disputable.
can give a remarkable proof Of
this.
In a recent speech made IN the
House Of Commons, as quoted in the
British press. Sir Austen Chamberlain
mentioned the circumstances that in
conversation with Lord DAberncn
in Berlin ] had once declared the i'm
possibility Of our entering the League
Of Nations.

countries.

Germany and Russia into the league

Of Mutual Assistance.

the treaty for giving an enormous in

in diameter. near by is the Robert f.

Directly to the east lies the Fallen

Although this park is one Of the small

characterized as one Of the most beau

big trees TO the east stretch the great
snow-capped peaks Of the Sierras; to
the southeast looms Mt. Whitney, the
highest peak in North America; north,
the mountain chain breaks away 10 the
picturesque Kings River Canyon. To

During the middle winter the snow
