FREAR DENOUNCES
CONGRESS GAG RULES
Representative Declares for Intag-

The old gag" rule in the House,
which was in force during the Sixty
seventh Congress, must not be adopt
ed for the Sixty ninth Congress, in
order that the integrity of the House
as real legislative body may be
preserved, according to statement
issued by Representative James A.
Frear of Wisconsin, a member of the
Republican insurgent group, which
combined with the Democrats to force
change in the rules during the
Sixty-eighth Congress.
Representative Frear warns that
move to re-enact the old rules of
the House must be squelched. He
advised that the statement yesterday
by Senator Fess. Republican, Ohio,
in which the latter favored a rule de-
signed to prevent filibuster in the

TRADE COMMISSION
PUBLICITY ruling
viii Tighten Up Regulations,
Following Criticism by Busi-
ness Interests.

Holding criticisms of the commits
interests to be just, the Federal Trade
Commission today announced a tight
ening up of it's rules governing pub
licity given it's activities. Under the
new publicity rules. to which Commis-
sioner Thompson dissented, the COM
mission will make no announcement
of the issuance of a complaint until
after final determination of the case.
When a case is settled by stipulation
before a complaint is issued, it will
make no announcement with refer
ence to it for publication at any time.
The rules provide, however, that the
papers in a case shall be open for
public inspection after the respondent
has filed an answer to the charges or
the commission.
Effect of March Revision.
The revision in March altered the
commissions procedure to provide for
informal settlement of trade disputes
without issuance of complaints when
ever possible. the granting of hearings
before complaints are issued. and the
consideration of cases only where the
public interest is clearly involved.
These revisions also were strenuously
opposed by Commissioner Thompson.
who was Joined in his dissent at that
time by Commissioner Nugent.
In his dissent today Mr.. Thompson
held that the new rule would permit
star chamber proceedings. with the
applicant not informed as to what
was taking place, and would deprive
a minority of the commission OF the
right to express its views publicly.
For these reasons, he said, the change
lis wholly dangerous and perversive

Condemns New Rule.
He also contended that the new
publicity rule was contrary to the let
ter and spirit of the Federal Trade
Commission act and the Constitution
of the United States, and that If it
had been in effect previously the COM
missions case against use of the
Pittsburgh plus system of determining
the price of steel never would have
been carried past the preliminary
stage.

Under the rules of the Sixty-sev-
enth Congress, Mr.. Frear said, the
House was subjected to, the gag

opportunity for outside influences to
control under the House gag rule was
notorious" In the discussion of the
proposed modification of Senate rules,
he added, attention should be given

DARROW COMPARES
 BRYAN ID NERO
Chicago Lawyer UphOldS Teach,
 ing of Evolution

New York, May 1S.-(AP)--Clar- ence s. Darrow, Chicago lawyer who has offered to oppose William Jen- nings Byan in a Tennessee evolution trial came out today with few opinions about the commoner. Nero and Bryan were linked by Darrow as men whose irrational opposition en- hanced the spread Of great doctrines.
 Nero" Darrow said, tried to kill Christianity with persecution and law. Bryan would block enlighten- mcnt with law. Nero failed as will Bryan. More persons are studying evolution in Tennessee now than be- fore the law was passed just as NeroS acts made Christians.
 Man may be sure Of his ideas, but if he is intelligent he knows there IS room for doubt and debate and he welcomes both. -
 Mir. Bryan would block both be- cause of his views. He was brought up on certain beliefs which he has never questioned or about which he never sought to be enlightened 10 the end that he might be wrong.
 This is lack Of intelligence.
 Had MT. Bryan's ideas Of what q man may do towards free thinking existed throughout history we would still be hanging and burning witches and punishing persons who thought the earth round"

Dr. Baldpate Experiments With

LRSS
 I've been trying out some inter esting experiments in poultry-nu- trition," said our old friend, the genial Dr. George A. Baldpate, to Ruth F. Landauer.
 Increased egg production is the goal of every chicken raiser. Food has a lot to do with it. We all know that a certain amount of red pep per in the corn speeds up the egg output. I have gone further, mix ing pepper salt, and a little butter with the feed and getting eggs of a delicious flavor. This prenatal Havoring is my own idea and by mix ing certain ingredients l have been able to produce .. or my hens have .. chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry eggs, favored entirely by the parent hen.
 T had favorite hen which I had named Grace after my wife's mother. l tried her on a mixture of g-plant and egg-nogg but it was failure. It was too much egg for one hen, and Grace simply re- fused to do her stuff.
 'I switched her to a diet of bran mixed with a one-eighth propor- ton of shad roe. The results were marvellous. Due probably to sub conscious shad-complex Grace be- gan 10 lay a steadily increasing number of eggs. The size, however, decreased. I saw that she was fail- ing, and changed her diet - but I was too late.
 "she gave a feeble cackle and ex- pired one evening on a nest con- taining over 200 eggs no bigger than peas. I know this sounds fshy. but it is the unvarnished truth. Grace is buried under an apple tree marked by an inscription which I thought appropriate, Here lies Grace
