Hartford, July @0 -- Connecticut courts imposed fines of sS5,270 upon S,312 offenders against the state mo- tor vehicle laws during the first six months Of this year. according 10 returns made to the motor vehicle department by officials of the courts. In the corresponding period of last year. the courts imposed fines of $S5,499 on 2,S76 offenders.
 The average fine for a motor Ne- hiclc law violation this year, there fore, is $25.2H. which is S4.10 less than the average finc for such a violation in tho first half of 1924. tIn both periods covered, some of the offenders were sentenced to jail as well as fined, but the rec ord Of jail sentences kept by the department for the past six months is not yet complete, as some courts Icmain 10 be heard from.
 The fines mctcd out in the first quarter of this year were consider ably heavier than in the second quarter, the average for inc months of January. February and March having been $%1@5.

CREATION STORY
 BUT FAIRY TALE
So Declares CongregatiOnaIiSt
 Editor in Springfield

The story of creation as recorded In Genesis Is a fairy story" which persisted for centuries In the litcra- ture of tho Babylonans. the Greeks and Romans, and there lis no great scientist anywhere who be- lieyes the world was created in six days as is described in tho Bible" Rev. Dr. William E, Gllroy of Bos- ton, editor of the COngregutionalist. said in Faith Church, yesterday morning.
 spiritual Truths Seen
 However, he added, the modern world would make a mistake if it were to disregard the wonderful spiritual truths of the Bible just be- cause the writer of Genesis who- ever he was, lacked the scientific knowledge to describe creation in a manner which would be reasonable in view of truths learned later.
 ''The final truth IS not found in Mir. Bryan's dogmqtism or in Mir. Darrow's agnostlcism," Dr. Gilroy said, in referring to the famous eyol- ution trial in Dayton, Tenn, 'In the midst of quarrels between those who knows so little about the Bible and those who do not know much about science" he continued. T must go down on my knees. ovcrpoWered with the sublimity of the first part of the Old Testament" He held that newspapers were not handling the Dayton trial in the proper man. ner. The tendency, he said, was to make too much of a jest of some of the sacred truths.
 Christ Dirgregarded nogmas
 Catholics were wrong to make a dogma of the Bible, he held, for that Is something that Jesus himself did not do He said that Jesus took q larger view than that of infallibili- ty of the Bible" In His sermon on the mount, Jesus declared against the old Hebrew doctrine of an eye for an eye and a tooth for d tooth, thus indicating that He would not accept the old teachings even though made sacred by the church, pr. Gill roy declared.
 He said that 1t was around the Old Testament that most difficulties have arisen and that 1t must be read in the spirit in which Jesus ac- cepted it, as being full of spiritual truths, but not infallible.
 Whicl, Passage Is Infallible?
 "The Bible contains various Vcr- sions of the same incident so 1t IS difficult to know which passage infallible," Dr. Gilroy said. The first part of his sermon was given over to a listing of what might be called the faults of the Bible. How ever, the latter part of his discourse contained. many references to the "Glorious Old Book" and it's moral teachings.
