Hair Denoted Power There was a deep-rooted belief among the ancient peoples of the East that a man’s glory was his beard. Compulsory shaving and the close cropping of hair were signs of degra¬ dation. This is borne out by Assyrian sculptures, which always show kings with beards and long hair, and slaves with close-cropped hair and clean¬ shaven faces.

Howard, a 14-year-old boy, has translated the words of the teach or and the textbook into language that even a child can understand. As he recollects its, the defendant said < a little germ of one cell organism was f ormP( j j n the sea- this kept evol ving until it go t to be a pretty good sized land animal, animal, and then it kept came evolving, on to be and a| from this was man.’ There is no room for difference of opinion here, and there is no need for expert testimony. Here are the facts, corroborated by another student, Harry Shelton, and admitted to be true by counsel for defense. Mr. White, superintendent of schools, testified to the use of Hun¬ ter’s Civic Biology, and to the fact that the defendant not only admitted teaching evolution, but declared that he could not teach it without violat¬ ing the law. Mr. Robinson, the chair¬ man of the school board, corroborat¬ ed the testimony of Superintendent White in regard to the defendant’s admissions and declaration. These are the facts; they are sufficient and undisputed. A verdict of guilty must follow. More Required “But the importance of this case re¬ quires more. The facts and arguments presented to you must only convince you of the justice of conviction in this case, but while not necessary to a verdict of guilty, they should con¬ vince you of the righteousness of the purpose of the people of the state in the enactment of ths law. The state must speak through you to the out¬ side world and repel the aspersions cast by the counsel for the defense upon the intelligence and the enlight¬ enment of the citizens of Tennessee. The people of this state have a high appreciation of the value of education. The state constitution testifies to i in its demand that education i shall be fostered and that science and j literature* shall be cherished. The continuing .. and , . I increasing appropria- ! tions for public instruction furnish abundant proof that Tennessee places a just estimate upon the learning that is secured in its schools. a Religion is not hostile to learning; ; Christianity has been the greatest patron learning has had. But ! ever Christians knyw that ‘the fear of Lord is the beginning of just as it has been in the past, they therefore oppose the teaching guesses that encourage among the students. ‘‘Neither does Tennessee the service rendered by science. Christian men and women of see know how deeply mankind is debted to science for benefits ferred by the discovery of the of nature and by the designing machinery for the utilization of laws. Give science a fact and it -not only invincible, but it is of eulable service to man. One in titled to draw from society in portion to the service that he to society, who is able to the reward earned by those who given us the use of steam, the use electricity, and enabled us to the weight of water that flows the mountainside? Who will the value of the service rendered those who invented the the telephone and the radio? Or, to come more closely to our home life, how shall we recompense those who gave us the sewing machine, the har vester, the threshing machine, the tractor, the automobile, and the meth od now employed in making artificial ic-e? The department of medicine also opens an unlimited field for invalu able service. Typhoid and yellow fe ver are not feared as they once were. Diphtheria and pneumonia have been robbed of some of their terrors, and a high place on the scroll of fame still awaits the discoverer of reme dies for anthritis, cancer, tubereulo sis and other dread diseases to which mankind is heir. Truth Welcomed Christianity welcomes truth from whatever source it comes, and is not afraid that any real truth from any source can interfere with the divine trut'h that comes by inspiration from God Himself. It is not scientific truth to which Christians object, for true science is classified knowledge, and nothing therefore can be scientific unless it is true. ■ • Evolution is not truth; it is merely an hypothesis—it is millions guesses strung together. It had not been proven in the days of Darwin; he expressed astonishment that with two or three million species it had been impossible to trace any species to any other species. It had not been proven in the days of Huxley and it has not been proven up to today. It is elss than fyur years ago that Pro fessor Bateson came ail the way from London to Canada to tell the Ameri can scientists that every effort to ed—-every trace one species He to said another he still had fail-j had I onq. faith in evolution but had doubts about the origin of species. But of what value is evolution if it cannot explaln , . the of species?

Some of the more rash ad ( vocates of evolution are want .3 say that evolution is as firmly ed as the law of gravitation or the ’ Copernican theory. The absurdity such a claim is apparent when remember that anyone can prove the law of gravitation by throwing a weight into the air, and that anyone can prove the roundness of the earth by going around it, while no one can prove evolution to be true in any way whatever, (Continued Next Week) ■ | Let’s Apply This To j Fort Valley | (Elberton Star) With all its virtues and many ad | vantages, there is one thing sadly lacking in Elberton,—This is, an honest desite and constant effort to keep the city clean and sanitary every d a y in the year, j During clean-up campaigns we throw our hats in the air, clean-up and paint up and wash-up and u p and put things in “applepie” or der. Then our enthusiasm begins to wane. Weeds begin to grow and con f tinue to grow; our back-yards and , alleys,—some of them,—present un sightly and unsanitary spectacles; trash and garbage is allowed to ac ; cumulate at the side gate and often j times remain there for weeks; and as a result of it all, flies and mos quitoes, sickness, sometimes death, can be traced as a direct result. The sanitary department probably does the best it can to keep the city clean and sanitary with the limited facilities at its command. With one or two dump carts and a rickety one J garbage, horse wagon trash as and the means refuse, of hauling sani no tary overseer in the world could hope to keep clean and sanitary the streets and alleys of a city the size of El No schedule of rounds can be under this program, and sometimes weeks pass without gar bage man making his appearance, This is a deplorable and shameful state of affairs, Nothing advertises a town more favorably than to have it said of it that it is a place where clean streets an d alleys and sanitary conditions exist; on the other hand the reverse is just as true. Nothing is more un just to ourselves and the future health of our children than to allow ourselves to think in terms of dirty streets and,fly-breeding alleys. l There is a remedy for this if we will but set about the task in earn est. The sanitary department should be given additional vehicles and more , help . ,n order to cover the c.ty often er. A visit should be made to every; back - door ln town at least two or three times a week. A motor truck, or maybe tw0 of them - mi £ ht be re ' quired to do the j° b as * should be done. If so, let’s have them. No amount of money, if spent judicious ly, is ever wasted in keeping our clean and sanitary, , town pretty, Let’s not confine our clean-up ef forts to one or two days in the year, i This is worse than nothing,—a mere s))am an( j hypocritical move,—if we stop here. The time to keep a city c i ean ant j san j ta ry is every day in t h e year. If this is done, the extra occas | on c f c i ean . up wee k might be ; ] celebrate achievements of the 1 use( t0 past j, ear an( j g ; ve added enthusiasm to f uture wor k. But as a single bet-' oc cas j on> t 0 s t 0 p with that, it> had f. er j, e j e j t 0 ff The trash and garbage should be moved often and regularly. It costs us more, many times more, in bad advertising for the city and sickness I of its people, to fall in duty here ! our than it would to spend the money for labor and it equipment should to done. carry on this j work as be ST, ANDREW’S CHURCH Episcopal Holy Communion, 7:30 a. m.

Maybe he and his fireman do pot ex¬ change words on a run of 50 miles. Qn some engines he does not see the f j reman when he is in his seat. During the night, when passengers are s ] ee ping and when only head aij( tai j lights are burining, when lights in villages an d towns are low, when^ the coun tryside is silent, no one is f ar ther away from touch with his fel low human beings than the engineer j n ca h. Constantly he is plunging into spac . e as one goes into another world. Every mile of track ahead of him is an adventure.

We know of no class of men who have greater responsibility day in and day out than the locomotive engineer. It is up to all of us, then insofar as we are able, to keep his burden light, and we can do this by stopping, look- - ing and listening.—Memphis Commer cial Appeal.
