they belonged. The Roman Christians
used the "Anno Urbis Conditae," or
year Of the founding Of Rome. to count
from; others counted from the reign
Of Diocletian. calling It 1.-THE Ern Of
the Martyrs; and still others used the
calendar Of the Copts Of Egypt. In the
sixth century Denis the Little, u Greek
monk living in Rome. made q calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date Of which he fixed at 753 A. q. C..
So we commonly say that Rome was
founded 1853 b. G.
At the beginning Of the eighth CEN
fury the venerable Bede pointed out
that this was an historical blunder.
But no general notice was taken Of
his criticism and the error has contin-
ued to this day. Historic facts have
enabled modern scholars to determine
without much possibility Of doubt, the
exact year Of the birth Of Jesus. and

any sacred parchment registering the

Moreover. although we are actually
approaching the year 1923 A. D., there
is little probability that our calendar
will ever be reformed to show the fact.
The confusion of dates that would re.

FERRY ACROSS THE CHANNEL
Freight Cars Are Carried for the First
Time In History From
England to France.

For the first time In the history Of
railroading train ferry has crossed
the English channel from Newhnven,
England. to Dieppe, France, carrying
about fifty cars. says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. Since early In the war
thousands of British railway cars have
been employed In France in transport
ing troops and supplies, but they have
all been transferred to the continent
by freighters. The Inauguration Of
ferry service indicates that the diff
culties created by very pronounced
tides have been overcome at last to
the mutual advantage Of these two al
lies. At Dieppe the water level varies
as much US 81 feet. To overcome this,
short bridges, attached at one enc to
the dock and resting on large floats,
are employed. During loading and I'M
loading the ferry is chained to the
boat and dock pier as well. The two
smokestacks are located one at either
side Of the craft, leaving space fol
tracks down the center Of the deck.

HUN LIE NAILED
THE LIE

ta x11c LIE
First-The most popular German
lie of the season is the story that
army doctors and Red Cross nurses
have been shot at sunrise for inject
ing germs into soldiers. Every army
camp in the United States has been
named as the scene Of the tragedy.
Second-A similar story alleges
that Influenza has been spread by
means Of germs in aspirin tablets.
THE TRUTH
First-No incident of the sort has
occurred at any camp or hospital eth.
er here or abroad. '"The reports are
ridiculous" says the war department
''and without the slightest foundation
in fact. There has been no medical
officers nurses or anyone else execut.
ed at any camp in the United States
or abroad for any such cause"
second-That story is equally ride.
ulous and untrue. Germs would moi
live in such a medium if the German.

The purpose Of these stories is ev.

Packers Agree to $3.50
Minimum Price for HouS

Washington, Oct. 3.-Although
offering vigorous objection to the
plan to stabilize the price of hogs
as recently proposed by a special
Investigating committee of the food
administration, representatives of
the large packing companies and
ABOUT 10 smaller concerns today
pledged their support to the food
administration in the effort to main
tain minimum price of $3.50 a
hundred for hogs during the pack
ing season.
The packers also agreed to main
tain the October price for hogs, but
to make it more workable it was
placed upon the basis of the $l8
average minimum. 1t is expected
that the price will work out so as
to guarantee to producers a price
OF $3.50 for average droves during
October. The packers also will at
tempt to prevent fluctuations of
more than so cents hundred in any
week.
