'Hie Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens.—Proverbs 3:19. The World Does Move Unless a certain professor in a university in Tennessee repudiates the theory of evolution, all financial and moral support will be withdrawn from his institution, according to news reports. Three eminent professors have recently been dismissed from American universities because they refused to deny the facts of evolution. Several religious todies today are split wide open on the controversy over “fundamentalism.” In the seventeenth century Galileo Galilei developed the astronomical views of Copernicus and proved the movement of the earth round the sun. The church of that day decided that to believe the earth smaller and Inferior to the sun, made man and Christianity of no account; so Galileo, under threats of punishment, being then an old man of 69, was made to kneel and recant his views and put the earth back as the immovable center of the universe. According to the story, as he rose from his knees, he muttered to himself: “Eppur si muove” —"it moves nevertheless.” And move It does. Science really is no foe to religion. So let those of us who have embraced religion not put ourselves in the position of the churchmen of the seventeenth century. Let's let the world keep on moving. Fifty-Cent Flivver Juice Gasoline is to go to 50 cents a gallon, say the oil refiners. The latter have gathered in Washington to tell La Follette’s committee why flivver Juice Jumped 4 cents a gallon in a few days when there is more oil reserve on hand than ever in the history of the country. The oil mongers talk about the diminishing oil resources, the failure of supply, etc. Fifty cents a gallon! Tush!! How silly these commercial prophets are. Many things can happen between this and 50 cents a gallon. Have these gentlemen ever heard of the rotary motor? Probably not. Did they ever hear the story of the young American inventor who set down a working model of anew gasoline engine before the highest officials of the biggest automobile manufacturing corporation in the world, and after demonstrating it for an hour, was asked: you take half a million dollars to hit that thing with a sledge and forget the whole business?” agfWhether true now or not makes little difference. It will be true belong—as soon as dear gas drives engineers to improve the motor. Other things than legislation, gentlemen of Standard Oil, must enter your plans. In a Nutshell According to Lasker the merchant marine which is to be subsidized if the President wins in the ship subsidy fight will consist of four or five great shipping companies. These will carry on our commerce with foreign nations in competition with foreign shipping concerns. The tariff bill which the President says must be passed, is meant to shut out imports from foreign countries. The rates embodied in it seem high enough to shut out most of them. In other words, the Administration scheme seems to be to pass a ship subsidy bill to pay ships to carry on foreign commerce, and then pass a tariff law to prevent having any commerce to carry on! Umbrellas Are Cheap The other day, up in Maine, as has happened through the ages, "the rain fell alike on the just and on the unjust.” In the face of the worst rain and wind storm in fifty years, the newly enfranchised women of the State and thousands of male voters as well stayed at home and "let the Ix>rd take care of the country.” Asa result, Frederick Hale, one of the most thoroughly hidebound reactionaries in the Senate, was renominated—which in Maine means reelected—for another six years. And the job was done by less than 60,000 voters, although a sharp campaign had been conducted in a State which cast 140,000 votes for Harding two years ago. Os course, it is barely possible that with every voter at the polls the result would have been the same. Yet the 80,000 voters who failed to turn out, despite the storm, cannot excuse themselves on any such specious plea. It is up to the honest citizen to cease praying for the Republic and bewailing the kind of men we have in Congress until he is willing to go to the polls and do his duty. Failure to act makes the guilt personal.

BOOK I: THE ROBE CHAPTER I . He was bora With a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad. And that was all his patrimony. His very paternity was obscure, although the village of GavriUac had long since dispelled the cloud of mystery that hung about it. Those simple Brittany folk were not so simple as to be deceived by a pretended relationship which did not even possess the virtue of originality. When a nobleman announces himself the godfather of an infant fetched no man knew whence, and thereafter cares for the lad's rearing and education, the most unsophisticated of country folk perfectly understand the situation. And so the good people; of Gavrillac permitted themselves no illusions on the score of the real rela- j tionship between Andre-Louis Moreau ■ —as the lad had been named —and Quintin de Kercadiou, Lord of Gavrillac. Andre-Louis had made the most of his opportunities. You behold him at the age of four-and-twenty stuffed with learning enough to produce an intellectual indigestion in an ordinary mind. In body he was a slight wisp of a fellow, scarcely above middle height, with a lean, astute countenance, prominent of nose and cheek-bones, and with lank, black hair that reached almost to his shoulders. His mouth was long, thln-lipped and huHe was only just redeemed ugliness by the splendor of a ever-questing, luminous eyes, as to be almost black.

fame he had acquired there was hardly enviable. He was too impish, too caustic, too much disposed—so thought his colleagues—to ridicule their sublimest theories for the regeneration of mankind. Himself ho protected that he merely held them up to the mirror of truth, and that It was not his fault If when reflected there they looked ridiculous. All that he achieved by this was to exasperate; and his expulsion from a society grown mistrustful of him must already have followed but for his friend. Phillippe de Vilmorin, a divinity student of Rennse, who, himself, was one of the most popular members of the Literary Chamber. Coming to Gavrillac on a November morning, Phillippe found in that sleepy Breton village matter to quicken his already lively indignation. A peasant, named Mabey, had been shot dead that morning by a gamekeeper of the Marquis de La Tour d’Azir. The unfortunate fellow had been caught in the act of taking a pheas ant from a snare, and the gamekeeper had acted under explicit orders from his master. Infuriated by an act of tyranny so absolute and merciless, M. de Vilmorin proposed to lay the matter before M. de Kercadiou. Mabey was a vassal of Gavrillac, and Vilmorin hoped to move the Lord of Gavrillac to demand at least some measure of reparation for the widow and the three orphans which that brutal deed had made. But because Andre-Louis was Phillippe’s dearest friend, the young seminarist sought him out in the first instance. He found him at breakfast and after embracing him deafened him with his denunciation of M. de La Tour l’Azyr. “I have beard of it already," said Andre-Louis. “You speak as if the not surprised you.” his him.

THE INDIANAPOLIS, TIMES
Weeks’ Words Are Cause of G.O.P. Disgust By ROBERT J. BENDER, United News Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, June 26.—Fresl dent Harding believes each and every Cabinet member should be permitted to exercise both the power and freedom of his own speech whenever he wishes on whatever subject. The mail of political leaders during the last few days, however, has resulted in their most fervent prayer that some Cabinet members, at least, won’t take advantage of the freedom aforemen tioned. Specifically there is private gnash ing of teeth and a note approaching despair over Secretary Weeks' utterances at Cleveland and Philadelphia In high Republican quarters it is complained: 1. That what Weeks said about Congress at Cleveland has given the Democrats some much needed thunder. and, that alleged dissatisfaction of the people with Congress Is not born out by recent events. 2. That Weeks expressed views on the prohibition law following Chairman Lasker's declaration that United States Shipping Board vessels would continue to sell liquor until ordered to stop by Congress or the courts has played havoc with, if, indeed, it hasn’t definitely killed the ship subsidy for this session. Republican Leaders Concerned Letters, newspaper clippings and other reports from the bone-dry sections of the Middle West since Weeks brought his private views favoring light wines and beer out into tho public forum have tended to greatly concern Republican leaders. They are convinced that unless Lasker, Harding, Congressmen and others are able to talk the mid-west farmers out of their present state of mind, no subsidy bill will pass this session. Unless these is a triple plated, heavily riveted legislative protective armor on the subsidy legislation to absolutely assure boozeloss boats under tho American flag. Tho present frame of the mid-western mind Is that it were better far to sink tha ships than keep their floating bars.

Later Ellis EI.LIS was a Union soldier in the Civil War. Ho was pretty good with a razor as well as an ax. One day his superior officer called on him to shave a visiting civilian. This civilian was nono other thap Ellis' acquaintance of tho rall-spllting incident. As ho shaved him Ellis abused him roundly for having so stiff a beard. The shave over, the stranger gave him $lO and a plug of tobacco; then went away. “Who was that?” Ellis asked his superior officer. “President Lincoln," tho superior officer said. Ellis was born in Alaska 118 years ago. He has relatives in Greenland today. lie has lived in every State in the Union. He became a preacher late in life and kept it up until two years ago. Ada is his home.
"But I tell you frankly, now that I come to think of it, that I should prefer you did not see M. do Kercadiou with me.” Ills wrath had passed, but his determination remained firm, based upon the reason he gave. "Very well," said Andre-Louis. “But nothing shall prevent me at least from walking with you as far as the chateau."

Quintln de Kercadiou, Ixird of Gavrillac—confirmed an Impression that his house conveyed. Rude ns the

His own interests from earliest years had been centered in his woods and pastures. He kept no state commensurate with his position or with the tastes of his niece, Aline de Kercadiou. Aline, having spent soitie tw<\ years in the court atmosphere of Versailles under the aegis of her uncle Etienne, had ideas very different from thpse of her uncle Quin-
THE REFEREE BY ALBERT APPLE FEET A woman with feet only six and one-half inches long steps into the spotlight In Washington, D. C. She - Carl W< L,ink ' er. She believes that J / 0 she has smaller feet 1 than any other Amerl- , IT can woman. \ If Many women will ifgfwk envy her. Whether an exAPPLE tremely small foot on a woman is artistic, however, depends on her height. The standard of beauty, establ.shed by the ancient Greek sculptors, decreed that • a foot to be artistic must be a sixth or a seventh the height of the body. How close do you come to the specifications? Get out a yardstick. Here is one form of statistics that is not apt to cause headache. CHANGE Chiropodists at a convention discuss the probablity that women In another few generations will have only kfour toes on each foot. Instead of five. Tight; shoes are deforming and dwarfing tho little too. Instructors at swimming pools frequently comment on the number of women whose little toes have almost disappeared. Back of this is the biological principle that nature makes additions to the body when needed, and takes away parts no longer necessary. Thus fish in Mammoth Cave are blind, not needing eyes. A change of diet has made a long human organ shrivel Into a small appendix. LEPROSY Twelve hundred lepers are at large in our country. This Is reported by the United States I’ublic Health Service. It Is not many centuries since lepers were stoned out of town, their terrified assaulters crying, “Unclean!” Miserable creatures, they were allowed to beg only at the gatos cl cities. Now lepers are rounded us when discovered, isolated to prevent contagion. and given good food and lodging and medical attention at the community’s expense. We are more sensible than our ancestors, also more humane. Human nature does change.

So Mrs. Rinehart sat down to her typewriter and pounded out a story which she called "The Glorious Fool.” j The "fool’’ in question is not the nurse but Billy Grant, one of the very rich but “wild" young men who are said to live in the large cities. Billy’s j chief trouble seemed to be that he 1 couldn't realize that the water wagon ; is the prevailing mode of travel just j now.
