The "Monkey" Trial?
The ear with the Louisiana
plates came slowly into the tiny
Fast Tennessee town last month
and slowly ehe1ed the court-
house; then the car stopped, and
The driver got out and told re-
porters his mune: John 'l',
Scopes.
The town was Deytun; and
$scopes (now 59, and an oil -
company geologist living in
Louisiana) was the roan who put
it on the map. Thirty-five years
ago to the month, Dayton was
the news centre of the nation
There were gathered the top re-
porters of the land (H,L. Men-
cken and Adolph S. Ochs, to
name only two) and the very
cream of the country's legal
talent — including the men
whose debate was to echo down
the corridors of history: Clar-
ence Darrow and William Tan-
nings Bryan.
This was the Scopes trial, and
it was a supreme trial of ironies.
It was made up of totally unre-
lated items and Scopes put him-
self into the middle of it all situp- '
ly because he wanted to help a
friend,
These were the divergent ele-
ments:
At that moment in his long
and erratic career, in 1925, Bryan
wanted to forge the entire South
into a "Fundamentalist" move-
ment; he was feuding — through
the newspapers — with the en-
tire concept of modern science,
particularly the concept that
man is descended from the ape,
Simultaneously, Darrow was
reaching the height of his fame
as an exponent of using modern
science to deal with crime.
And in Dayton itself, a man
named George Rappleyea had
become outraged at a funeral
oration delivered by a Funda-
mentalist preacher. (An 8 -year-
old boy had been killed by a
mine car; the preacher told the
mourners: "This here boy, 'cause
his peppy and his mammy didn't
get him baptized, Is now a-writh-
in' in the flames of hell.")
Rappelyea was so bitter that
he decided to attack all Funda-
mentalism, Scopes, a friend of
his, was 24 at the time and a
combined science teacher and
athletic coach at the Dayton High
School. Tennessee had a Funda-
mentalist state law that pro-
hibited the teaching of "any
theory that denies the story of
the divine creation of man as
taught in the Bible"; the idea
that man descended from a lower
Srder of animals was taboo.
Rappelyea asked Scopes if he
would mind being arrested for
breaking the law, provided they
could dig up a couple of high-
echool kids who would give evi-
dence against him.
The rest became history. The
tiny town of Dayton became —
for its moment — the most wide-
ly publicized town in the world
(such divirgent commentators
as Will Rogers and George Ber-
nard Shaw had their say about
the trial); the cross-examination
of Bryan by Darrow became a
classic in the exercise of logic.
Finally, of course, Scopes was
found guilty, and iined $100, and
left town.
Last month, when Scopes came
back to Dayton to take part in
premiere ceremonies for the
movie /"Inherit the Wind" — a
dramatization of the trial --
Dayton itself got back into the
spirit of the old days. It was
festooned with banners; the !nen
wore the striped shirts and cel-
luloid collars of the '20s; soft
drinks were a nickel apiece, and
ri„ars. two Inc 5 cents.
Now, Dayton held a parade in
honor of Scopes, gave him the
keys to the city.
And, of course. the law pro-
hibiting the teaching of evolu-
tion is still an the statue books
of Tennessee. From NEWS -

Eddystone Light
An Expert's Job
Winstanley's drawing of the
completed (1899) lighthouse is
more than a guide to the build-
ing. It is. a revealing guide to
the man who built it. He com-
pleted the picture with these
descriptive notes on the various
parts of the building,
At the bottom of the light-
house on the right:
"An engine crane that parts at
joints to be taken off when not
In use, the rest being fastened
to the house to save it in time
of storms, and it is to be made
use of to help landing on the
rock, which without is very dif-
ficult.”
Above this crane:
"A gallery to take in goods
and provisions from the boat to
the store room,"
Winstanley jetehpil himself
fishing from his gallery. The
window to the left of he roof is:
"The window of a very fine
bedchamber with a chimney Band
closet, the room being richly
gilded and painted and the out -
aide shutters very strongly bar-
red."
The apartment immediately
above the bedchamber and ex-
tending as high as the gallery
was:
"The Stats Room, being 10
square 19 foot wide, and 12 foot
high, very well carved and
painted, with a chimney and 2
closets, and 2 sash windows with
strong shutters to bar and bolt."
Above the State Room:
"The Airry or open Gallery
where is conveniency to crane
tip goods and a great leaden cis-
tern to hold the rainwater that
falls from upper roofs in pipes
and to let the sea pass through
in times of storms."
The umbrella - shaped room
above the Gallery:
"The kitchen where is a large
chimney, oven, dressers, and
table, with a large closet and a
large standing bed."
The small hezagonal room
above it:
"A bedchambef with 2 cabbin
beds and all conveniences for a
dining room with large lockers
to hold a great, store of candles
for lights."
Above this the lantern:
"The lanthorn that holds the
lights is 8 square, 11 foot diame-
ter, 15 foot high in the upright
wall: having 8 great glass win-
dows and ground plates for
squares, and conveniency to
burn 80 candles at a time be-
sidee a geeat hanging lamp
There is door to go into the gal-
lery that is all round, to demist.
the glass of the lanthorn. which
is often dim'd by salt water that
washeth it in storms.", , ,
But nothing illustrates Win-
stanley's quality of purposeful
whimsy so much as the six
graceful candlesticks bracketed
to the outside 0f the lantern.
This was how he described and
justified them:
"Great wooden candlesticks
for ornament; but the irons that
bears them is very useful to stay
a ladder to clear the glass."
There was a final masterly
touch. Winstanley had not for-
gotten his rough handling by the
French privateer two years pre-
viously. The lighthouse must be
equipped to resist invasion. Pro-
jecting downwards front the rail
of the gallery on the right-hand
side of the sketch is a chute.
Winstanley described it as:
"A moving engine trough to
east down stones to defend the
landing place in case of need"
—from "The Eddystone Light,"
by Fred Majdalany.
Human Lives
Are Very Cheap
Most Orientals place a low
value on human life — that was
proved during the last war by
the Japanese "kamikaze" pilots.
But the East's complete disre-
gard for what we regard as nor-
mal emotions was brought home
when a retired RN officer was
telling recently of the time he
served in a Persian Gulf patrol
before the war.
His commanding officer had
been asked by the local British
Consul to take a Sheikh — a mili-
tant character — for a local
cruise. The purpose of the trip
being to demonstrate- to the
terrific fire power of the ship's
guns.
After a couple of days at sea,
some distant targets were des-
troyed by high -explosive shells,
The Sheikh gazed open-mouthed
at the sight.
Then he turned to the cap-
tain and. -pointing to a dhow
afloat nearby; said: "See if you
can destroy, that boat."
The captain warned him that it
the guns were trained and fired
on the craft, she -and her crew
would be blown skyhleh.
The Sheikh smiled reassuring-
ly. "That is all right. ` he said,
"it is my dhow -and manned by
my own elaves.
