EzekM 34:15. Merchandizing a Myth Appointment of Wallace McCamant of Oregon, ex-justice' of the state supreme court, to the federal circuit court of appeals, is a deserved recognition of judicial ability as well as an award for personal political service rendered President Coolidge. Judge McCamant is well qualified for the position, and will doubtless fill it with honor, though probably at a financial sacrince to himselt, lor leueral judges are not paid in accordance with the importance of their positions and power. Yet the political phase of the appointment illustrates how reiterated error is better than the truth and how myths originate. It was Judge John L. Rand, now on the supreme bench, who was the original advocate and ardent champion of Governor Calvin Coolidge for vice-president in the Oregon delegation to the republican national convention at Chicago in 1920, and he it was who was scheduled to make the nominalimr soeech. However, having developed a sore throat, he requested Judge McCamant to substitute for him and place Coolidge in nomination, which he did. As a result, Judge McCamant was hailed as the discoverer of Coolidge and given the glory of having secured his nomination by suggesting him at the psychological time. This idea he has assiduously fostered, and omitted no oppor tunity to give it publicity, with the result that he now wears the ermine, for carrying out the ideas and making the speech of another. All of -which proves that modesty is a gem that doesn't get one anywhere in politics, even with a modest president like Cautious Cal, and that a little thing like a sore throat sometimes has big consequences for more than the afflicted one.

I wandered around alone all evening trying to amu.se myself, but not succeeding. I finally gath ered up some books In the library thinking I'd go to my room and read. I felt lonely and neglected especially when I passed French door leading to the terrace and saw a woman in a man'n arms out there in the moonlight. It was Nathalie and her husband and I went upstairs and cried, myself to wleep, feeling that nobody loved me, and wishing I could feel sure that Bill Kwing would. There wa.i to be a costume ball the next night at one of the hotels in Nassau, and of coure we were all going. I think Nathalie would have been perfectly happy to stay right where she was. on Itlll liw ving'n beautiful Island, but she thought that I wanted to go,, and I didn't disillusion her. We spent most of the next day making costumes. Bill Ewlng got out a trunkfull of costumes that he said had been used for amateur theatricals years before. When Nathalie and I were looking them over by ourselves she told me more about how ho happened to have- them. "He had a stunning country place, near New York built it for the girl he was going to marry. They used to have gorgeous par ties up there. She wan wild about the stage, and was always getting up little plays. She kept putting off marrying him, and then sud denly broke the engagement and went on the stage, when somebody gave 'her a small part in a play. He was broken hearted. I'm sur prised that he kept these cos tume." i They were really lovely things. ; I chose a ballet dancer's fluffy1 skirts and satin bodice, with a gar land of flowers cascading down over the skirt, and two big flowers for my hair. There is something about a fancy costume that goes straight to my head. I didn't feel like myself at all, but like the gay little creatine that I looked. Bill Ewlng cho.se a Pierrot's costume, but his ex pression didn't go with It. He looked awfully sad. Nathalie and Dick went as a Spanish dancer and toreador. We were a curious group to sail off through tho moonlit seas in the launch, but a very silent group, too not half so gay as our costumes I had the first dance with Bill, but wo wore only half way round the great ballroom when a man dressed as a pirate cut in, and I went whirling off in his arms. Bill disappeared, and I didn't see him again till supper time. The he led me ta a table out in the gar den, beneath gaudy Chinese lan tern and swayed in the breeze. "There are a lot of things I want to say to you," he began the mo ment we were alone. "1 know that you're married, and not especially happy, and I've com completely lost my head over you. Nancy, won't you got a divorce and marry me?" I was too much surprised to an swer. Ife had been so strange late ly when lie was with me, so aloof, that I couldn't believe I'd really heard what he said. "But I thought you were in love with someone else." I said, more to gain time than for any other reason. 'I was until I mot you. "You're tho only girl who's ever been able to make me forget her. Nancy., say that you care for me." ' His voice had a magical effect. I forgot everything Jim, and everybody else. All that I knew was that BUI Kwing was silting there beside me, holding my hand very tight In his, looking down into my eyes with adoration in his. "Oh Bill, I do love you," I told him. As he took me in his arms nil tho world was 'shut out. I was happier than I'd ever been before in my life. We stayed there In the garden until Nathalie found us, and sug gested that we go homo. BUI wrap ped my cloak around me, as if I'd been some delicate thing that might break If it was touched roughly. And we went skimming through tho water In his launch, back to the enchanted Island that was Ills home. Wo hud made many plans. I was to go back to New York nt once, and begin proceedings for a divorce. I felt sure that Jim would not mind, though, of course, I was going to cable him. Then, as soon as the decree had been granted, Hill and I weie going to be married. And we'd live for ever on his beautiful island, with all the world shut out. I could hardly wait to start for home. There was a steamer duo at Nassau t lie next day, arriving In the morning from Havana, and sailing In the afternoon. "But you won't be able to get accommodations on it, Nancy," Nathalie protested. "Wait and sail with us on the yacht." I knew that sne and Dick were n't ready to go back north, how ever, and I wouldn't hear of their leaving. I'll get a corner on the boat somewhere," I Insisted. "I'm sura I can do It." I went to the steamship office myself the next morning. Bill wanted to do it for me, but I in sisted on going myself. They told me at the office that there wasn't my space left on the boat; they wouldn't even sell me a ticket. Tomorrow A Stowaway. Burbank on Evolution Luther Burbank, plant wizard ami scientist, lias written the best article on evolution that has been produced as a result of the Tennessee fight upon science. He holds that all life is evolution and that its theories should be taught in all public schools as the only way to combat ignorance and superstition. He says: Kvolutlon Is truth, and Irulli must unci will nn-vall. Kvcry nation that ilocs nut liclkvc will I'Ventuully disappear from the earth. The Imliclinciit of a Tennessee teacher for leadline evolution In a high school in that state la a step one thousand years backward. All my work wilh plants here 111 Santa Hosa dally demonstrates evolution. All growth, all life is evolution. Ignorance always has. and always will flcht evolution for evolu tion Is growth. The people, the groups, who arc cntnhatllng the theory of evolution have not found the trulh nnd do not believe In it. They must he educated. The theory of evolution should he (aught in public schools. Yming children should he Instructed in the t rut I, and evolution is truth. Evolution Is contrary to theology, which may account tor some of the animosity It has aroused, hut It Is not contrary to religion Theology Is man-made, religion l not. Truth la supreme. All life on this planet is one Universal Life, constantly evolving liilo higher and better forms, not at first created perfect as some theologians would have us believe mil left lo man for runner cvoiu tion anil Imorovement. It Is much more flattering lo me to think that we are evolving Into something better than that as the older theologians would have us believe we were created perfect in the garden of Kilcn and fi ll Into disgrace afterwards: even a man who would construct a machine which would go wrong so quickly and o thoroughly would be called a vrv noor mechanic. The Universal Korco which is creating all lliim.. Is Imller hr such lttltillc.lt Ion. The theory of evolution should of course continue to he taught In niilillr schools, as should every other great truth, because evolution Is truth.
