CAMPAIGN STARTED ON
 SILVER FOX FRAUDS

NEW YORK, Jan. 29-A campaign has been launched against silver fox frauds" according to L. E. Hol- land, president of the Associated Ad- vertising Clubs of the world. It will be handled by the National Vigilance Committee of the association.
 Most of the frauds revolve around the supposition that silver fox pelts are extremely valuable" Holland said AS a matter of fact, the bureau of statistics of the Dominion of Canada reports that the average price of these pelts has declined from $245 in 1919-2O to s112.SO in 1922.
 ''The method of operation of a number of these companies involves not the sale of stock, but the sale of animals for breeding purposes. They are sold on cooperative basis where by the purchaser of pair of foxes is guaranteed a 100 per cent increase in their number.
 "The operator of the farm retains the remainder of the progeny.
 These, in turn, are resold to other investors It is sort of endless chain proposition, in which the op- orator has little to lose and the pur- chaser bears the risk"

"IlILITERiTE MINISTRY
 GOING TOO FAR

pr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, who has been heard in this city, emitted quite blast in his annual report which was made public to- day; and notable throughout his diagnosis of the times was the charge that both the family and an '1lllterate ministry" has been lax in the bringing up of youth. and to this assumption he at least partly ascribes the prevalence of crime.
 Dr. Butler in referring to the decline in the number of theologi- cal students in the universities, at tributeG it to a widespread intol- lerance" which "has recently had so many unhappy manifestations throughout the United States"
 All Of which may be true and it may not, We do not think there has been exactly an "iIlterate min istry" -- the choice of tho adiec- tive seems In bad taste and rather exaggerated. But that there has been intolerance of a kind that has created no admiration there can be no doubt.
