Returned Naturalists Tells of Eggs
Selling at 2 Cents Per Dozen.

Special TO The Washington Herald.
New York, Oct. 15.-Here are a few
OF the specimens recently brought to
New York by Roy Chapman Andrews,
mammalist OF the American Museum
of National History:
Stuffed gerals. Muntjacs.
Samburs. Gibbons,
Sorrows. Shrews.
The shrews are insects, not women.
The gibbon is a monkey, the sambur
is a deer and the gerals and sorrows
are kind of near-goat. All the speci-
mems are extremely rare and val
liable, and the museum is delighted
at this successful beginning of a cam
paign to get some Asiatic mammals
in stock; but Mr.. Andrews did not
spring his real sensation till he told
what he paid for food on his hunting
trip.

bet he said, I'VE got new laid eggs
for cents a dozen, two fine chickens
for a small can of condensed milk
and sometimes we'd only pay a few
empty cans for a pound of butter"

FOR UNITED STATES
Speaker at Church Convention Says
German Brand Has Bullied Us.
Special to The Washington Herald.


Columbus. Ohio. Oct. 15.-"German-
made theology has bullied us for
fifty years" the Rev. William E.
Barton, pastor of the First Congre-
gational Church. of Oak Park, ILL.,,
and editor of The Advance, told the
National Council of Congregational
Churches here.
1--WE need to pray for a new the
ology. at once conservative and pro-
gressive. native to America. but akin
to the forward-lQoking and spiritu-
ally-minded thinking of all the Chris
tan world" declared DR.. Barton.
I'VE cannot afford. to constitute un-
trained evangelists our authorities in
Christian doctrine. Our churches re-
quire, and we must provide, sound
theology.
'Tt must be scholarly; It must be
Biblical: It must be true to the facts
spirit: It must be true to the facts
of human nature, It must be not only
good, It must be good for something"
This summing up came at the con-
clusion of vivid word picture Of the
800 years of Congregational history,
which the national council Is now
celebrating.
1.-THE nineteenth century began with
three significant movements in Pill
grim history said DR.. Barton.
First was the revival of religion. in
colleges, the second was the mighty
foreign missionary movement, the
third was the plan of union for the
spiritual care Of immigrants in the
northwest territory"
