TARIFF REVISION ASKED.
; ; Washington, Nov- 29. -Immediate
enactment of an-emergency tariff act
devoted solely to upward revision of
the rates applying on agricultural
importations was advocated by Sen
at0r Capper, republican, -of: Kansas,
in a statement issued today. r
"To attempt general tariff revision
now," - he declared, "keeping the
existing general relationship be
tween -agricultural and. other pro
ducts, would be playing a rather
threadbare joke on the farmers of
the country. . And I believe they show
signs of. becoming-tired of being de
-notably aluminum."

SAY BIBLE STORIES MYTHS
London, Nov. 29. The Daily Mall
today gives prominence to a review of
a new commentary on the Bible, en
titled "Commentary on the Holy
Scripture," in which a number of
Bible stories are declared myths and
without historic foundation. f Classed
as such are the narrativef, of the
creation, the deluge aid tlje legend
of the tower, of Babel. fOtljor stories
of the traditionally niiraciilous age
jare traced to natural cAus'-s.
I The book is the worliot more tharf-
fifty contributors, all fpcialists in
j their subjects, and maiiy. of them re
garded as among tne iost learned
and most devout leaders of the church
of England. The book itself was pro
duced under the editorship of Dr.
Gore, forrner biship of Oxford, who
was editor of the famous "Lux-Mun-dl"
and is regarded as the greatest
living English theologian.
While questioning some popular
conceptions of new testament stories
the commentators stress strongly
their belief that the evidence for the
existence of the Christ and of his
ressurection is overwhelming and
they. avoid any minimizing tendency,
or any attempt to explain away trie
central points of Christian faith:
