ARKANSAS PUTS EVOLUTION BAN IN LAWBOOKS Bill to Ban Teaching of Theory Is Favored by 5,000 Majority. i By Science Service LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 7. Arkansas, which by its state referendum Tuesday apparently placed upon its statute books an anti-evo-lution bill modeled upon the famous Tennessee law, has added to the legal muddle of laws which prohibit, but do not prevent. The incomplete vote is 22,461 to 17,388. Educators the country over, however, have not been giving themselves very much concern about the business. The campaign in Arkansas was hot, but beyond the borders of the state it created little excitement, except over the incident of the arrest and subsequent hunger strike of the atheist leader, Charles Smith. Experience in Tennessee and elsewhere has shown that anti-evolu-t'cn legislation is “more honored in the breach than in the observance” in the universities and other centers of higher education, while in the high schools, especially in the smaller places, no amount of theoretical freedom of teaching can prevent local school boards from rejecting candidates for positions when they do not approve their theological views. Biologists have come to accept these two conditions as actualities of their profession, which -ormai statutes in law books do not affect greatly. Since the Scopes trial at Dayton, Tenn., in 1925, no serious effort has been made to get a test case of the anti-evolution statutes in Tennessee or Mississippi, the only two states which have passed such laws up to now. In handing down its decision on the appeal of the Dayton case, the Tennessee supreme court rendered three distinct opinions, all of which left the interpretation of the law very muddled. Chief Justice Greene nimself, speaking before the American Association for the Advancement of Science last winter at Nashville, declared that no one could tell w'hat the much-contro-verted statute really meant. In Texas and Florida, where there were flurries over the “regulation’’ of textbooks, though there are no laws limiting teaching, things seem to have returned to normalcy. At least neither the preaecher nor the teachers have been saying anything lately.

Girls Try Sky Stunting to Advertise Butler’s Football Game. Riding high in a Fairchild monoplane, three Butler university co-eds bombarded Indianapolis election day with handbills advertising the Butler-Illinois football game, to be played at the stadium Saturday. Captain H. Weir Cook, of the One Hundred and Thirteenth National Guard observation squadron, piloted the plane. Don Gearheart, Butler public relations official, engineered the stunt. Miss Mary Louise Larmore and Miss Virginia Rhodes are juniors, and Miss Ruby Pasho of Anderson, is a freshman. “We tried to hit the voting places, but it was my first ride in an airplane. And besides I wouldn’t make a very good handbill thrower anyway,” said Miss Larmore. 71 FEET MN THE SHADE’ MUNICH, Nov. 7.—Mercury has a long ways to climb in anew thermometer erected on the tower of the German Museum here.

SMITH LOSES DISTRICT WHERE HE LAST VOTED A1 is Cheered by Victory in Old Home Precinct. By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—Governor Alfred E. Smith cherished today u: defeat the consoling thought that he had many loyal friends. Not the least of his consolation was the vote in his old precinct in Oliver street on the east side where he learned politics. There he received 610 votes to Herbert Hoover’s 66. In his present district, however which includes some of the “silk stocking” voters of the exclusive hotels and clubs, Smith did not fare SC' well. There Hoover obtained 404 votes to Smith’s 223. In the district of George W. Ol* vany, Tammany chief, Smith had 153 and Hoover, 360. In Mayor Walker’s district Smith had 599 to Hoover’s 104. Anew invisible ray which increases by twenty times the distance over which the human eye can see, and is equally efficient in fog, is being tested in England.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

VATICAN SHOWS NO REGRETS AT HOOVERVICTORY Elections Regarded as Alien Affairs, Official Note Points Out. By United Press ROME, Nov. 7.—The Holy See learned of the election of Herbert Hoover without surprise or regret, according to a semi-official note Issued by the Vatican today. "The election of a Catholic candidate would certainly have been a matter for the greatest satisfaction, bu this does not mean that the Holy See is displeased with the success of Herbert Hoover, whose attitude toward the church always has been highly respectful,” the note said. It was pointed out that the Holy See constantly and definitely has been alien to electoral contests, considering them purely internal affairs of the United States. The note recalled that Hoover met Popes Benedict the Fifteenth and Pius the eleventh, when he passed through Rome en route to central Europe in connection with children’s relief work. It was remarked the Holy See always has efficiently cooperated with such works. OBJECT TO MERGER Clubs Give Six Reasons for Insull Turndown. An objection to the proposed $70,000,000 state-wide Insull utilities merger was filed with the public service commission today on behalf of the Federation of Civic Clubs in Indianapolis and other Indiana cities affected by the proposal. Edward O. Snethen and Oscar F. Smith, attorneys, filed the objection, which lists six reasons the proposed merger should not be approved. The proposal would merge the Central Indiana Power Company with the utility concerns of about 250 cities and towns in Indiana to form the Indiana Electric Corporation. It would affect power, transportation, light, heat, and ice. The six sections of the objection are: That the merger would increase operating expenses and foster higher rates; no merger should be approved until a fair appraisal is made; it would cause the utilities now paying a profit to carry the financial burden of those not paying; the earnings shown in the merger petition would not be a fair return to investors and higher rates would follow; it would enable the petitioners to sell themselves stock in the subsidiary concerns at a price in excess of the present market value; the concern would be over capitalized.

FINDING BEAUTY IN POETRY OF FQULKE Some Verse Does Not Need Age to Bring to It Classical Beauty as Well as Distinguished Charm. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN MANY people have told me that to read poetry written by writers today is just a waste of time. Yet there are others who read the poetry of the day because it is popular and “cute” to be up on all the latest verse. This desire to be modem, even in one’s taste for poetry, is along the trend of the times. Since several publishers have gone in for inexpensive editions of the old poets, there has been a revival of interest in the classics. To me, if poetry is good or if it is a classic, it is just as good if pounded out on a typewriter today instead of being sung many many years ago by the Greeks.

That was my thought along with others while reading “Songs of Eventide” by William Dudley Foulke, recently published by The Bobbs-Merrill Company. I for one do not let the fact that Mr. Foulke is a resident of Richmond, Ind., sway me into approval of his poetry. In other words, this “resident” stuff has never had any effect upon my opinions. Am willing that he stand upon his own merits. I consider his new collection of poems as a solid contribution to modem poetry with a lyrical dramatic approach. I think it will be granted that his “Maya,,” a lyrical drama, is the feature of this collection of verse. He has given his drama a most colorful setting—one of the legends of Central America. Yucatan is the location and the time is of the Spanish invasion. Maya is the daughter of Ahpula, who falls in love with Pedro de Sandoval, “survivor of a wrecked crew of Spaniards cast ashore on

Your Little Daughter A father loves his daughter, not more than his son but differently, just because she is his woman-child. If financially able he gladly supports her in case she doesn t marry, and, if she does, still likes to contribute to her comfort. And he wants to make her FUTURE SAFE. That is why fathers like the Income Plan which will guarantee, when they are gone, a monthly LIFE- INCOME to their “little girls.” Let us show you a plan for your daughter.

the coast of Yucatan previous to the conquest of the country." There is a majestic dramatic sweep through the entire drama. It is beautifully expressed, and he has caught the rhythm of a love affair of other days. All verse must not be in the same vein, and you discover a difference in the poems of Mr. Foulke. His eye catches the vain goings-on of people of today and you discover that in “The New Rich on a World Cruise.” He pokes not altogether good fun but the finger of rebuke to those people who generally are a pest on a tour of a foreign country. These are the people, in the words of Foulke, who write home as follows: “Three days to view Japan, I took, Now I propose to write a book.” “Songs of Eventide,” in addition to “Maya” and “Heloise,” an epitome and a paraphrase, includes forty-one poems and seven translations. There is beauty in much of
