Percentage Basis
-i rged in Livestock
Selling Charges
Secretary of American Na
tional Association Opposes
Sliding Scale of Commis
sion Companies.
Chicago, MaVch 5.—Livestock com
mission charges should ho on a per
centage basis, computed on the rela
tive value of the stock sold. C. W.
Tomlinson of Denver, secretary of
the American National Livestock as
sociation, declared at a hearing be
ing held here by arbiters of the pack
ers and stockyards administration.
The association is the complainant.
Mr. Tomlinson favored a minmum
charge of $12 a car and a maximum
of $15 Instead of the sliding scale in
force at present.
He declared that there should be
no differentials between Chicago and
western markets, asserting that the
ebst of doing business in Chicago
was no greater than in any other
city handling livestock.
PC. Sykes, president of the Iowa
Corn Belt Meat Producers’ associa
tion, differed witTi Mr. Tomlinson on
the differentials question, which Is
one of the important matters to be
decided here. Higher rents and labor
costs and a higher cost of doing busi
ness in general in Chicago should
give Chicago a higher differential, he
declared.
-0»-Howard M. Gore of Charleston. W.
A a., one of the arbiters, said the pur
pose of the packers and stockyards
administration was to create a better
understanding between the various
elements in the livestock and packing
Industry and expressed the opinion
that hearings such as the one being
held here will help to accomplish
this. The hearing here Is expected
to continue for several days.

Minister Says Adam afid
Eve Story Is Impossible
Rev. Frank G. Smith Declares Biblical Legend Should
Be Interpreted as Mythical Narrative of Great
Eternal Moral and Spiritual Facts. (
--
“It is not so much what God could
do, but what He did do,’’ was the an
swer of Ilev. I)r. Frank G. Smith,
pastor of the First Central Congrega
tional church, to the question, "Could
God have made the world in six days
of 34 hours each?” which he pro
pounded in his sermon Sunday night
on "The Garden of Eden," the third of
a series on “Some Things a Modern
Christian Believes About the Bible.”
Should Stay On Stage.
He said the story of Adam and Eve
is grewsome, unnatural and impos
sible, if it is interpreted literally.
“But if you treat it as a mythical
narrative of great eternal, moral and
spiritual truths as well as physical
facts you have a wonderful story,”
said Dr. Smith.
Fred Stone, comedian, who recently
was converted to Christianity, should
remain on. the stage, in the opinion
of Rev. Jo W. G. Fast, who discussed
Stone's conversion in his sermon at
the First Methodist church Sunday
night.
“I thank God from the bottom of |
my heart that Stone announced he 1
would remain on the stage,” said j
Rev. Mr. Fast, “So many actors be- !
come converted, quit the stagy and
beoome cheap preachers.
“And I also thank God that Stone
announced he would henceforth give
a tenth of his Income to the advance- j
ment of Christianity. That's a lot,
more than some Christians do, I
know.”
“Liberal Christians in orthodox1
churches occupy an anomalous and ;
ethically Indefensible position, not
withstanding elastic covenants, tics
of friendship and family, and efforts
to liberalize churches and should
either withdraw to affiliate with ex
isting liberal fellowships or to form
new societies which truly express
their convictions," said the . Rev.
Ralph E. Bailey at the First Unitarian
church Sunday morning in his
seriyion on "Why Compromise? A
Challenge to Liberals In Orthodox
Churches "
Pulpit Strong Factor.
"The pulpit Is still a strong factor,"
he said, “in determining how people
think, and our duty to our children, to
ourselves and to the public requires
liberals to carry forward their relig
ious life and work under true 4Pors.”
"Paul in Beautiful Athens,” the
last of a series of travel sermons, was
given by Rev. George A. Miller at the
First Christian church Sunday night.
He used stereoptlcon slides to Illus
trate scene®.
Dr. Miller said Paul was the great
est man who ever lived, Christ being
more than man. He pictured Athens
as the greatest city in the history of
the world, foremost In art, science,
literature and philosophy, and has
wielded greater influence than any
other city.
Dr. and Mrs. Miller, in company
with a group of Chicago university
students, in visiting Athens recently

Latest Wrinkle in Ruhr.
(Copyrighted.»
Essen, March 5.—Motion picture
comera tricks are beiqsr resorted to
by propaganda agents to falsify
scenes of disorder In the Ruhr.
In expelling a Dutch photographer
obtaining material for distribution
in unoccupied Germany and neutral
countries, the French charge was
deliberately manipulating an appa
ratus for taking pictures of French
troops handling crowds. When the
films are exposed and run through
a projector at a normal speed they
greatly magnify the actions of the
characters.
For example, the action of a
French soldier pushing against a
German would be produced to show
him sticking the German violently.
