TOLERANCE IN TENNESSEE

The famous anti-evoution law of Tennessee appears
to be far less drastic than has been supposed The
recent decision of the state supreme court in the
Scopes is interpreted, according to authority,
mot prohibiting the teaching of the scientific theory
of evolution usually taught in schools and colleges
but merely the teaching of the materastc theory of
evolution
That to say, if this Interpretation is correct any
teacher in Tennessee is at liberty to teach the grad
ual development of human and other life in accord
with the scientific theory of evolution provided that in
so teaching he doesn't deny mans divine origin
Many scientists will find this quite satisfactory.
They are ready to admit, at least not deny, that
while all animal life to have been developed by
gradual upward process, from simple to complex,
there may be special factor involved in the develop
ment Of man. in his acquisition Of mind soul.
LAS ordinarily taught" explains Nashville attor
ney representing the Tennessee Academy Of Science,
evolution is the theory dealing with the gradual de-
velopment of human and other life upon earth. 1t
does not undertake in any way to determine original
causes it leaves that to religion and philosophy. 1t
does not deny that God is the original cause, does
it deny that the gradual development of life upon the
earth taken place and is taking place pursuant to
a divine plan Materialism undertakes to deny this
and to eliminate God from the universe. There are
countless thousands who believe in God, in Christ and
in evolution and find in the gradual development OF
human and other life upon the earth additional evil
dence of divine creator"

Voters of Ell Centro are to elect director treas

ways Of men.
One day last summer, when his wife

Mr.. Damon thought he would prepare
a surprise for her. SO he got out the
mop, the scrubbing brush and the pail
and after half an hours hard work
felt that the kitchen was immaculate

Many Tales Told Of
Production OF Pearl

Although pearls have an ancient his
tory, the beliefs Of how they are pro-
duced have been largely matter of
the Imagination. These views have re-
suited in the production Of some of
the prettiest fairy tales that human
Imagination has achieved. 1t seems
almost pity that these must be re-
placed by the prosy findings OF the
science Of today.
Some Of the ancient tales date back
for more than 5000 years il Chinese
history, where we are told that pearls
were used to adorn not only favored
human beings, but the images Of their
deities. One of their legends tells of
a certain pearl so brilliant that its ra-
dance made 1t possible to cook rice
hundred yards away. Mystic qualities
are even now ascribed to pearls by
the Chinese, for we find them pre-
scribed by their old school doctors,
crushed to powder or dissolved In
acid, as medicine.
They are mentioned In the ve1as,
while the Old and New Tesraments,
the Talmud and the Koran all exalt
them as symbols Of beauty and purity.
The Persians, long before Christ, val.
ued them, as is shown by their medals
and coins and actual pearls found In
their burial places.-Exchange.

CHILD EXPLOITERS
USE TRICKY TERMS

Los Angeles.--Opponents to the
Federal Child Labor amendment who
plead for states rights" and fail to
insist that their states stop child
labor were charged with hypocrisy
bordering on criminality by the A. F.
of l.. convention. The delegates unan-
imously approved a denunciation of
this element by the Committee on La
bells.
--latest reports indicate that there
are approximately 100000 children
under 16 years of age who are en-
gagged in gainful occupations,' the
committee said. "This is an indict-
ment against states in which these
children are employed, as these states
insist that their States rights" would
be invaded if the National Govern
ment enacted legislation minimizing
this evil through an amendment to the
COnSClCutlon.
Admitting, for the sake of argu.
ment, that there is grave danger ir

Government to regulate the affairs OF

PRIMARY LAW
UPHELD; REAC-
TION SURPRISED

Washington-Th refusal of Maine
citizens to repeal the primary law
of that state has surprised reaction
throughout the country. This element
was confident a mass attack on the
primary would eventually re-estab-
lish the convention system with its
bought-and-paidfor delegates.
The Maine verdict is doubly sig
nifcant because that state is imbued
with Down East" conservatism.
1t is quite probable that from now
on less will be heard of primary law
repeal in other states.
