DR.. STRAT0N is HELD
UNDULY SENSITIVE
Supreme Court Justice Chides Min

Charge of Atheists.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 20.-Su-
preme Court Justice Grain believes
that the Rev. DR.. John Roach Straton
was sensitive rather than sensible
to become perturbed over a SILLY and
ill-natured letter" from atheists.
The justice holds that the funda
mentalst pastor of Calvary Baptist
Church should have thrown into the
waste basket atheistic literature and
an illustrated sex magazine which he
alleged were mailed him by Charles
Smith. president of the American AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Atheism. The justice yesterday dis
missed a criminal charge against
Smith.
The views of Justice Grain were eX-
pressed when he sustained a writ OF
habeas corpus sued out by Mr.. Smith.
He ordered the atheist leader dis

he has been held for some time on the

FARM RELIEF BILL
Up IN NEW FORM
McNary-Haugen Measure,
RemodeIed, Placed Before
Senate and House.
by the Associated Press

-" N+AV %AeSOtldLeC Press.
Having already made its bow in the
senate, the remodeled McNary- Haugen
farm relief bill crossed the House
stage yesterday and was kept going
until it reached the agriculture com
mittee
In the course of a routine meeting
OF that committee earlier in the day,
Chairman Haugen had announced
that his revised proposal was ready
and January is was set for the open
ing of hearings. He does not expect
them to he as extensive this year as
previously and hopes that the meas
IRE will reach the House floor for con
sideration Immediately after DISPOSE
ton of less controversial important
legislation.
The heart Of the Haugen bill like
mat of the proposal sponsored by
chairman McNary of the Senate agri-
culture committee, is still the equaliZa-
ton fee, which was objected to by
president Coolidge. The fee, howe er,
would apply to all crops. not a select
few, as in the vetoed bill, and only
then after an emergency had been de-
clared by the proposed farm board.
Unreserved power would be granted
the President in making nominations
TO the beard. Undr the vetoed meas
IRE he would have been restricted to
selections from a slate prepared by
farm organizations.
One major difference between the
McNary bill and the Haughen pro
posal relates TO the appropriation TO
be used as revolving fund in admin
istering the law
The Oregon Senator would limit it to
$3.50 600 900. while Haueen favors a
$500, 900, 900 appropriation. In explain
ing this variation, Mr.. Haugen said he
doubts that farm relief can be ade-
ouately administered within the $780,
900 limit

Mr.. G. F. Redlich, the successful
expert says:
The perfect Retention Shields
hold the rupture perfectly no matter
what position the body assumes or
how heavy weight you lift. They
give instant relief, contract the
opening in remarkably short time
and strengthen the weak It's
sues (the real cause of rupture) so
that they frequently recover their
previous natural retaining power need
ing no further outside support.
Stomach trouble, backache and con-
stipation often caused by Rupture
promptly disappear
Truly remarkable results have
been obtained with recent and not yet
fully developed ruptures and many old
ones also.
No legstraps or elastic belts are
used Can be worn while bathing and
are highly sanitary being impervious
to sweat.
Letters from highly satisfied clients
available.
Advertised mail order contraptions
