Makes Farce of .
Evolution Theory
Clear, forceful language la em-
ployed by J U Martin, publish-
er of The McCamey News, week-
ly newspaper 1q writing "Mon-
key Mileage Prom Amoeba to
SIAn." Just published by the Wm
B. Krdmans Publishing Co.,
Orand Rapids. Mich.
The West Texas author Is a
veteran newspaper man, haring
owned nearly a score of news-
papers In this state though "also
la well known as a student of the
Bible and of science, as well as
haring established an enviable
satire on evolution, as presented
in the book, takes one through
the earliest stages to the fish-
worm, amphioxus, fish, amphi-
bian reptile, reptilian-primate,
duality, and common ancestor
stages.
After evidencing ius knowledge
of science, Mr. Martin then re-
fers to the Bible and * other
sources to forceibly point out the
fallacy of the whale “Godless,
planless” theory known as evo-
lution, concluding with the
thought that only an infinite
mind could make man and keep
the world running in harmony
with other planets.
Before submitting the manu-
of conducting Sunday ' script to publishers, Mr. Martin

retails at $1 and has been sent Bible teachers, one of whom was

te*rtln bases his story on the as- i Quotations from writers such
amned evolutionary -steps taken
by man from a one-celled amoe-
ba, floating around in the proto-
plastic ooze of ancient seas, to
his present status as a complex
mechanism of “organic” matter.
Illustrations* throughout the
volume are the work of Mr Mar-
tin’s son and associate in the
newspaper business, J i ih m 1 e
Martin, who made the pen and
Ink sketches between times of
working on the McCamey news-
paper and attending to civic du-
tiea.
The elder Mr Martin’s brilliant
as H a Wells, Hendrick Van
Loon and Dr Dorsey (“Why We
Behave .Like Human Beings”)
are compared with statements
of scientists challenging evolu-
tionary theory. It is the au-
thor's contention that "Pithe-
canthrophus erectiis,"' “Sianthro^
pus Pekinensis.” the "Piltdowir
man.” "Cro-Magnon” man, etc.,
are creatures only of Imagina-
tion. "The writer feels fully con
fident,” he says, “that hls expo-
