his death. II had known him for
more than quarter of a century

century ago he expressed views
concerning education which are
considered advanced today. We are
still hating pilgrims on the road

The week when the census was
taken was unusually warm and
dry, and reports of forest fires were
received from many points in
Northern Minnesota. This is be-
lieved to beapartly responsible for
failure of the foreign cars to show
an increase. Unofficial courts at
several points showed higher tour
list traffic the week following the
official census.
The average number of cars per
day at all 1856 points was 1,031.
There were "a stations on paved
routes, with an average of 2,492
cars per day. The average at Zne
80 points on unpaved routes was
752 cars per day.
The highest count this year was
on T. H. No. 10, east of Wayzata
and the lowest count on T. H. No.
81, near Round Lake At this point
traffic dropped from lit per day in
1928 to 48 per day in 1929. Forest
fires were believed to be response
BILE. The high counts this year,
ana the counts at the SAME polIllS
in 1928 were as follows:
'1O-East of Wazatta ..-7,224 6,055
12-West of Hopkins 1921 6.831
3-North of Rob-
binsdale -----------------------5,923 6,O92
South of White
Bear 5,879 6,720
NORTH of Carlton .-----4,919 6,OS5
5O-North of Junction
No. 50 1859 5,197
At the points where counts were
made both years, FOG showed an
increase, no change and 135
showed a decrease. Where de-
creases were reported, the cause
was usually traced either to con-
struction on these routes or to the
Improvement in parallel routes.

Auto Traffic Slightly,
Heavier Than in1o2S
Census Taken by State Highway
Department in August Dis
closes Interesting Facts

A four per cent increase in
trunk highway traffic in 1929 over
1928 is shown by the summary of
the annual traffic census taken by
the State Highway department,
made public this week by Commits
sioner c. M. Babcock. The number
of heavy trucks is nearly doubled
and the net increase for all classes
of trucks is II per cent, although
there. was decrease in the number
of light trucks. Minnesota owned
passenger cars showed an in
crease, while foreign cars, buses,
wagons and buggies showed no in
crease.
It has been quite generally ac-
copied that the traffic through
Sank Centre was not as heavy as
a year ago.. Taking the census
check-up as criterion the one
find that the traffic this year shows
a very slight increase over 1928. The
following result of the census furn-
ished by the Highway department
bear out these claims:

The traffic count was taken at
1856 points on the state highways
during the week of August to IL,
from 6 A. M, to midnight each
day. Points where no counts was
made last year are disregarded in
making the comparison, and 344
points where counts were made
both years were used in computing
the increase. These points showed
the following average number of
cars per day:

PROBLEMS SETTLED
BY PRESBYTER|ANS
Evolution Pamphlet of Pastor
at Little Rock, Ark, Brings
Plea for Probe.

BY the hSeocia ed Press.
MONTREAL, N. c.. May 21-The
Sixty-ninth General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church In the United
States today had settled two Of the ma
jor problems-the position of the church
ters' annuity fund-that faced it when
it convened last Thursday.
The chief issue left before it today
was that Of possible union with other
Presbyterian bodies, which was sched-
uled for discussion at this morning S
session. The General Assembly is ex-
pected to adjourn tomorrow or Thurs
dey. Charlottesville, Va. has been Sc
lected as the 1890 meeting place.
Divorce Rules Let Stand.
In the assembly yesterday, was
thrown the age-old question OF funda-
mentalism versus modernism, with dis
cussion of an overture from the Au-
gusta Presoytery asking an investigation
into the teachings Of DR.. Hay Watson
Smith. pastor of the Second Presby-
terrain Church. Little Rock. Ark. The
assembly disposed of the matter in so far
as it was concerned by referring 1t to
the Arkansas Presbytery. whose duty it
is under the churchs rules to investi-
gate any complaint about the teachings
of one of its members.
The assembly made no change in its
position toward divorce. 1t now recog-
nizes inf1delity and prolonged separa-
ton as grounds for breaking wedlock.
A proposal that the church recognize
infidelity alone was defeated yesterday.
Under the ministers annuity plan
adopted. superannuated pastors will re-
ceive an income from a central fund
The fund is to be created through
premiums by each minister and church
amounting to one-tenth his annual
salary. The premiums will be divided
with az per cent of his salary to be
paid by the minister and 7ia per cent
by the church.
Claims Small Churches Crippled.
The fund which will be administered
by a central executive board Is expected.
after the first few premiums, to
amount to $3.000.000.
Adoption of the annuity plan pro-
voked a prolonged discussion at last
nights session Leading a fight against
its adoption was DR.. Charles r. Strib-
ling of Orange. Va. He declared 1t
would place too large a burden on the
small churches.
In bringing charges against Dr.
Smith, the Augusta Presbytery men,
toned specifically a pamphlet published
by him and entitled Some Facts
About Evolution" The Augusta over
ture charged with other things that
he aSsailed truthfulness of the Bible.
DR.. Smith, who now is visiting in
Greensboro, NJ c., his original home,
declined yesterday to discuss the charges
brought against him.

CHICAGO, May 2l.-Be it known
that the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1888
is not in the market for Indian head
pennies with which to pave its floors.
This innocent fact became news yes
terday because of the unexplained bar
rage of inquiries received by the Worlds
Fair Commission offering to supply pen
MES and inquiring the premium. Banks
have been put to inconvenience by Gus
toners trading In bank notes for pen
nies-and specifying the Indian head
variety Coin dealers reported they
were besieged with offers of pennies for
premiums. which it was expected the
Government or the Worlds Fair to pay.
william Martin Grampp of New York
wrote that he understood the fair would
pay cents for every Indian head cent
presented here during 1888.
But an Indian head penny Is worth
just cent to the Worlds Fair. and the
commission would like some one to ex-
plain who started it all.

liminary to an attempt to put into
execution the famous "five-billion
dollar fund" plan for Solving"
questions of business depression and
unemployment advanced b. Hoover
some months ago and exposed as
reactionary Utopia.
Hoofer ,seizes upon the fact that
there was a collapse of the building
boom recently, part of the general
decline of industry.
Hoover seizes upon the fact that
the usual booster talk" about the
essential soundness of American in
dustry, such as thus far failed to
help the stock market any, but is
significant because it is first Of
ficial admission that the price fail
ure is something more than a mere
speculative panic, that it is due to
a recognition that business isn't so
good, that profits will fall, that if
anything can be done, industry must
be pushed along, artificially. Hoov-
er's program is considered here as
a crude attempt to cure spreading
industrial weakness, reflected in the
stock crash, by the same sort of ar
tificial stimulus as is now being
used, at a ruinous cost, to hold up
prices.

The Film Arts Guild announces
that arsenal" will be held over for
"a second week commencing today.
The basic theme of arsenal" the
remarkable Russian film, is the civil
war in the Ukraine, the struggle of
the workers against the ukrainian
Nationalists. The uprising in the
arsenal of Kiev is a characteristic
episode in the history Of the Ukrain-
ian revolution.
In utilizing this theme Alexander
Dovshensko, who directed, avoided
the method of illustration or of
copying history events. His CAR
senal" is not collection of historic
materials, not a staging of historic
events, but an analysis presented
in narrative form by an artist who
can view the entire epoch in its
broad perspective. In its theology,
the film is antagonistic of the spirit
and ideas of nationalism, of Ukrain-
ian nationalism, in this particular
instance. In one of the titles of
Arsenal" this idea is put very
pithiIy. you say the Ukraine is
to have her own rule, but who is
to have the land ?" There is some
thing of epic poetry in this film.
The director frequently makes use
of broad simple symbols.

can films, raising them, however, to
