The Tennessee anti-evolution law, the Scopes trial, the ora- 1nry of Bryan, Harrow, Malono and Stewart, all were inevitable. 'They wore the natural manifestations of a difference of opinion.

Because they wore inevitable they were the more greatly regretted by the large body of citizens. It would have been well had they never been, but it is good that, the country has them off its cheat. It is not to be presumed for a minute that the conflict between science and religion between the evolutionist and the believer is at an end. There may never be a perfect agreement between the two institutions and affiliated groups. But there is a good reason to believe, that the controversy passed the crisis in the Dayton trial.

The trial will not and could not decide anything other than the guilt or innocence of Scopes and the constitutionality of the anti-evolution law. Where religious beliefs are involved no courtroom scene has ever unseated the set opinions of great numbers of people, and the trial in Tennessee was no exception. Intolerance and bigotry were not absent from the Dayton trial nor from the legislature and lobbyists that were responsible for tho anti-evolution law, but, it was not that fanatical sort of intolerance which only a few centuries ago was responsible for the rack, the the inquisition, the religious wars and the murders. There have been religious persecutions for less things than the attack on the anti-evolution law, and among people more intelligent than the Tennessee The Scopes trial has proven that freedom of thought and of religion oie firmly established in America. What's Right and What's Wrong In The World COMMKNTS ON AFFAIRS ARE BEFORE THE NKWS KDITOKS CONSTANTLY.

EVERY DAY HAH ITS WHIRL OF POLITICS, SCANDAL. SPORT, STAOK, SCREEN, CIVIC AND PRIVATE ENTERPRISES. SAY WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IN 350 WORDS OR LESS AND 60,000 READERS WILL HE YOUR AUDIENCE. NAME AND ADDRESS ACCOMPANY EVERY CONTRIBUTION BUT THES3 WILL BE WITHHELD Iff REQUESTED. We Know How Have you ever stopped to consider what a wonderful thing Time is, especially in Lebanon? Thoro are some in the town that squander time, alhnlt thoy do not have nny more time than their brothers who work with pick and sliovnl and yearn for Time to pass on wings? For instance, all of us know some col logo hoys, sonit) other boys who work who do nothing but squander Time.

Thoy wnstn Time figuring out how they can waste more Tlmo by dodging hooks and work. Tlmo is one of the most precioua heritages of man. Everybody goto an allotted amount of Tlmo from tho moment of birth. An equal shuro IH given to all. No partiality is nhown.

Tho usn to which Time ia put Is up to the individual und not up to circumstance. Fire Bells. In the last five years the city bus spent upwards of $17,000 improving the fire alarm system. On Saturday evening, box 51 was pulled by a resident of ihe neighborhood of 129 Mifflin street, and the alarm failed to sound there being the ring of but one tap. The district in which a fire was threatened included many frame dwellings and Chief George Shuey says that an outbreak there would have been disastrous unless there could have been nn early arrival of firo apparatus.

Fortunately the lady of the house succeeded in extinguishing the fire herself and the spectacle of residents vainly waiting for fire companies to answer what thought to have been the ringing of box 61 turned out to be a passing incident of the day instead of a serious failure of the fire alarm system. Firemen never fail. They stand always ready to answer tha call. It is a pity that sometimes the improved system goes' wrong. In explaining the failure of ihe system on Saturday evening, officials say that box 51 is one of the old type fixtures which is subject to interference if the door is closed after pulling.

The element of the personal equation plays loo large a part in tho efficient operation of the system from these old boxes. But this is not all that is the matter with the new expensive system. Many times firemen as well as other citziens have difficulty in distinguishing the rings and pauses. This defect is said to be not in the electrical impulses but in the mechanical. We aro told that, while tho Gamewell switchboard works to perfection the mechanical arrangement, transmitting the impulses to the bell tapper in the tower is imperfect with the consequence that tho alarms are often jumbled.

Possibility of further jumbling of rings exists in what is known as interferring boxes. If two of th new types of boxes are puWed simultaneously linst one number will sound and then the other both going in distinctly. Not so with the interferring boxeg. When two of these are pulled for the same fire there results a conglomeration of taps that are absolutely meaningless. Further improvement in tho system is evidently needed according to the testimony of city officials.

The Board of Fire Underwriters in the annual report called 'Attention to sonic of these things. Tc: criticize and condemn is easy. But to carry out the need- ed improvements is to come plum against the old" obstacle "lack "Ot money." One new alarm box would cost $135. No expert mathemn- "tidan is needed to calculate the approximate cost, of the system to perfection. Many new boxes would bo required A new mechanical devise at City Halt would have to be installed! Despite increased assessments money is scarce and the Firo Jiells must wait for evolution.

Then there aro others who grab Tlmo absord it. mtiko It serve purposes of their own. They aro the kind thnt could use twtcn as much of It. What a pity some of us could not "swop" Time with others! Take city officials! Thoy give the city all their sparo moments. All of them are mon who have a business of tholr own, whoso lines of work havo boon used in other channels than thoao of tho city, lit-nitoforc.

What do those sacrificing mon get for thoir pains? A small amount of money, which IH In itself insignificant, and which is not their main objective, at any rato. For all this precious Tlmo which they give frooly and willingly to tho city, what do some of tho citizens give thorn? Slams, knocks deep cuts which hurt life-time' through! Others give them boosts, encouragement. Thuwo make it possible 1 for the mon who aro. serving tho public, to find It in thoir hearts to give MORE Time to their city! What can a man not do with a bit of encouragement? Time can never be re-used. Once It is wasted it can never be replenished.

It pays to think a bit of the way Time could be used to better advantage. Take Time, but do not squander Time if you would not bo a thief Lebanon is not behind the times when it comes to discussions of evolution. At least, one of the ministers of the city told his congregation just what ho thought of this so- called evolutionary hypothesis. Which one, if any, we wonder, will como out and aland pat on the monkey's side of IhlH business? No dou.ht tho women take ad- of this evolution craze, and start to evolve fashions, such as hnnd-painted stockings and limbs with monkeys pictured on them, etc. They have been using monkey fur, and monkey-face lace which all the mothers of Lebanon can crochet.

No doubt tho coming pet of stylo will be cute liulo baby monkeys. They have such darling and the expression on their dear! This ia a tip to the Zoos to got ready for the Christmas rush on monkeys. There was King Tut, and Ma Jong, both celebrated persons, who gave Parisian designers something to think about! Now here is Mr. Ape, the father of us all. A fitting subject for stylo, truly.

Nothing like going back to the old times for new ideas. Some may never know tho difference. The next holiday to bo declared in Tennessee should be Bryan day, when everyone could celebrate their divine origin, and let the rest of tho world go by. "DISCUSSER."

GRUMAN 40 N. EIGHTH ST. GOOD-NIGHT STORIES Blanche Doris Makes a Mistake. ORIS sat very quiet, watching the brownish-gray grasshop per perched on the very til end of a blade of grass. The gentle breezes swayed tht gross and the grasshopper spread out its grayish-green wings, rubbed them with its back legs and began to sing merrily.

"Goodness, J'd give my new to began Doris, when something touched her dress, and looking down Doris spied a wee little elfin face smiling up at her. "Well, of all things, Squeedee, where did you como from?" "From Joyland, of course" laughed the elf In. "And I hope I'm In time to save your new hat. What were you going to bet?" "I was Just wishing I could understand what Mr. Grasshopper waf singing about," laughed Doris.

"That's whore you are fooled," said Squeedee. "Hello, there, Mrs. Grasshopper. 1 want you to meet little Doris. She has been enjoying your pretty song." "I'm mighty glad to know you, Mr.

Grasshopper," laughed Doris, thinking Squeedee had made a mistake. "Squecclea called you Mrs Grasshopper and "He's right," chirped the grass- hoppeh "I am Mrs. Garden Grasshopper and I live right hero in the stone wall. What's wrong with thnf?" "Well, of all thinRs," laughed "I'm Mrs. Garden Grasshop.

er." Doris. "Mrs. Grasshopper, I beg your pardon. I never knew before that the females of the grasshopper family could sltiff." "I guess Mr. nnd Mrs.

Garden Grasshopper are the only fumlly where they both sing," laughed Squeedee. "And it certainly does seem nice to heur you singing. It makes a hot dtiy seem cooler to me. Whnt makes you so happy to-day?" "Who wouldn't be happy?" laughed Mrs. Garden Grasshopper.

"I have Just burled my first set of eggs. You should have seen them. Oh, they were so pretty." "Buried them?" laughed Doris. "How in tho world could you do that?" "Why, with my little sword," chirped Mrs. Garden Grasshopper, holding out the queer-looking little sword-like thing at the end of her body.

She opened It and Doris could see several blades. "My, but I sure did dig a big hole in tho ground with that sword und then let my eggs slip right down into it. Haven't I reason to bo happy? Mr. Garden Grasshopper was so proud and happy to think he's going to have a family he's gone oft to tho neighbors to tell tho glnd news. 1 must go back home now.

Como around a little later in tho Summer and I'll show you my family." And Mrs. Garden Grasshopper Jumped from one blade of grnas to another until she reached tho stone wall, where sh" disappeared In one of the cracks, and Doris and Squeedee could lic-r singing merrily. Doris stayed very quietly until she saw Mr. Garden Grasshopper return and go In between tho cracks of the stone wall. Then she crept up and made a chnlk-mnrk on the stones FQ she would know Just where tlie grasshopper fumily lived when she rame bnck the next day.

Then, thanking Squeedee for her pleasant niornlntr, she ran into the house to help her get lunch. Copytltbt, 19SJ. Future Inc. 11:00 Organ recital, WMBF, Miami Bench 7:00 Concert and dunco music. 8:00 News Items.

lO'OO-Kavodto WLS ArtUtsf mn Old June's frolic. 8 prograrn. Mr. and Mrs James c. Brown, of ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN -By Befltrtee Falrtao- Who Occupies a Unique Position in tho Writing World as an Authority on Problems of Lore i Anne's a nice enough girl," Dick remarked in a tone that was casual- i almost contemptuous, it seemed to Anne who overheard.

But she 1 comes from a small town and haa thrown the key It wasn't tho words that hurt Anne. She wasn't sure just what Dick meant, unless he inferred that her unconventional manner of living! would ostracize her from the prim circle that was her small-town home. But there was not a trace of re-; i spect in his tone, much less the de- ference Anne liked and always had 1 commanded from men. Anne knew she had given Dick the right to speak contemptuously of her. She had not done anything actually wrong.

For Anne at heart is a strict little Puritan. But she had accepted Dick's Invitation to dine unchaperoned in his apartment with him and tho young man from out of town he wished to introduce to her. Dick cooked dinner for the three in his kitchenette. Anne had thought herself very modern, very broad minded in going to Dick's apartment without an older woman as chaperon. She flattered herself she could take care of herself, and she knew Dick was trustworthy.

But she recented just that odd lack of respect in his voice, and she blamed herself. were discussing her in the adjoining room of the apartment, while she lingered a moment, when dinner was over, to give finishing touches to Dick's tiny kitchenette. Suddenly Anne made a resolve. She wag through with unconventionality. She intended to by the good old conventions in letter as well as spirit and to claim their protection.

"It isn't enough to be good," she remembered hearing her mother say on a certain occasion. "You must also seem good." This remark had impressed radical Anne as Victorian and narrow- minded. But suddenly she realized its truth. The conventions nre rules of conduct that have grown slowly through the ages for the protection of men, women and children. Comparing social life with sports such as tennis, and golf, conventions are the rules of the game.

They standardize the game, so that every one can play comfortably and Deliberately break and defy the rules of any game, and you'll soon find youself outlawed. Now and then, by general con- cent, a convention i dropped because it has been outgrown on account of changing conditions. But while conventions exist and are in force, It's as wise to observe them for mutual comfort, safety.and convenience as it is to observe traffic rules in traveling. Women occupy such a radically different position in the world today from their status in former generations that the idea of a chaperon on ah occasions has become an-absurdity. inrtance.

hundreds of thousands of girls must go and como from business alone at all hours. And the automobile has made it fiuite possible to place many mih-s between two young and the nearest chaperon in a very few moment? But convention still demands a chapr-ron on many occ'is'inB tlm w'ae girl gladly avails hWisolt of protection, knowing it insures freedom from unkind comment and oftentimes from actual danger. Convention decrees that a young woman cannot take a long railway or motor trip with a man other than her husband, brother or father. She may not, under any circumstances, visit a college man's rooms or a man's apartment without an older woman as chaperon. But modern convention permits girl to drive her car alone, and to take with her for short drives a man whom her family knows and approves.

She can ride horseback cnnoe, sit at the boach. visit her country club alone. Girls go to private parties with out bringing a charperori, though not to public dances, in most communities it is considered quite propnr for a girl to BO alonn with a young man escort to a theatrical production of good repute nnd to re.turn with him alone to her home. But she must not invite him in afterward unlea? hur pnrnnts are up (hey themse'vfrs the tlou. Does this greater flexibility of conventions mean that immorality is growing, respect for women "Is decreasing, marriage is deteriorating not at all.

The change is a question of custom, not morality. Despite all the hue and cry about modern young people, fine girls and young men continue to hold up their standards, and happy, successful marriage continues to, result from conventional betrothal, as it always has and always win. For, whatever conveuHons come und go, one chaperon i always present when two minded young people meet. That chaperoa is other words, self respect and dignity.

ago vows go on quite normally and happy marriages are on the increase without honor as chaperon, the strictest duenna Is useless to keep a girl straight. Sir John Suckling three hundred years ago expressed an ultra-modern sentiment, which is still the motto of every worth while girl and man In love: "I could not love dear, so much, loved I not honor more." Testimony of Wm. J. Bryan at Scopes Evolution Trial Was Expunged From the Record (Continued from Page one) the court is whether Mr. taught that man descended from lower order of animal.

"If the issue was what is or how God created man. This testimony might be relevant but ns this question Is not before the court I am pleased to expunge Mr. Bryan's testimony from the record." Darrow rose and excepted. "Of course, I am not at all sure that Mr. Bryan's testimony will aid the Supreme Court," he said.

"Let me suggest this, your Honor. Tir nve a11 heen here 80r ne time. We have no witnesses or proof to offer. We admit that Mr. Scopes taught that man descended from 'a lower of animals.

"I suggest, that, to expedite matters, the jury be brought in and Instructed by your honor to find Mr Scopes guilty." Bryan took the floor. "I did not have a chance to ask tho defense the questions I desired to ask of defense counsel yesterday he said. "So I will give to the press a statement of the I would have asked and let them broadcast it as they broadcast the proceedings yesterday." "I object, your honor," interrupted Darrow. "Now whats all this about? I will have to depend on the justice of the press to print the questions which I would have asked you," Bryan said. "I suggest that you take us both said Darrow, "nnd you ask your questions and let me answer uhem.

General McKenzie suggested that after the trial has ended Bryan and Darrow get together at a public discussion and there air their views The Jury was brought Into the room. Agreement was then reached between attorneys for both sides to dispense with argument and give the case to the Jury at once. This did not amount to a change of Scopes plea of "not guilty" however. "There was nothing else left for us to do," Malone explained. "We could not offer wltneses.

We could not continue examination of Mr. Bryan and the testimony that we offered was expunged from the record." Darrow told the Judge there was no use wasting any more time. "We claim," he said, "that the defendant Is not guilty of violating the law, but as the court has excluded all testimony except that Scopes taught that man descended from a lower order of animals, which I cannot contradict, there Is nothing left for us to do except to ask your Honor to instruct the Jury to return a verdict of guilty." Hays asked Stewart if the defense could have longer than the usual thirty days to prepare Kr; record for the Appellate Court. "We would agree to It," said Stewart, "but we are anxious to get the case before the Supreme Court in September. Our Supreme Court meets once a year." "That being the case, we won'-t ask for the extra time," said Hays Judge Raulston then recessed court while he dictated his charge to the Jury and to the court stenographer.

At 11:06 Judge Raulston started to charge the jury. "Gentlemen of the jury," said Raulston, "this Is the case of Tennessee vs; John T. Scopes, charging violation of the anti-evolution law qf Tennessee." He then read the act and the indictment of Scopes. "To 'his charge," continued the Judge, "the defendant has pleaded not guilty and thus.made up the issues of this case. "Before there can be a conviction the state must make out Its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
