PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER
SCHEDULED FOR HEARING
Commission to Report on His Chris
tian Views as Reflected in Dis
cussion of Evolution.

BY the Associated Press.
OSCEOLA, Ark, April 8.-The
Arkansas Presbytery today was prepared
to hear a report of a commission ap-
pointed to inquire into the soundness
of faith" of the Rev. Hay Watson
Smith, pastor of the Second Pres
byterian Church of Little Rock.
DR.. Smiths views on the theory of
organic evolution, as contained in
widely distributed pamphlet. caused the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in session at Montreal. N. C.,
last Summer, to order the inquiry.
The question OF whether the inquiry
was to be made into DR.. Smiths be-
lief on the subject of evolution or his
"soundness of faith" plunged the
oresbytery into a heated debate which
lasted throughout an entire day. A
compromise resolution provided that the
inquiry should proceed upon the ques-
ton of his views on evolution as re-
lated to the basic principles of the
church.
Charles e. Coleman, Little Rock at
torney, who spoke for DR.. Smith,
charged that the General ASsembly's
action was prompted by "disgruntled"
theologians.

SHANGHA|'S NIGHT
LIFE THREATENED
Cabarets Must Close at z
AM, Early Hour in "Paris
of the Far East"

By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, April s.--The night life
of The Paris Of the Far East" as the
various Shanghai Chambers of Com
merce call their city, is threatened by
a new menace.
The city administration, which wiped
out the gambling casinos of the inter-
national settlement last Summer bv
sending the proprietors to prison, has
decided to make matters as uncomfort-
able as possible for the bars and caba-
rets by closing them up at Q o'clock in
the morning.
The regulation comes as a surprise
TO cabaret managers and hundreds of
Russian, Chinese and japanese dancing
girls, who make their living tripping
the light fantastic at so much per
trip" 1t Is the consensus among the
night owls that both the cabaretS and
the girls are doomed to slim pickings"
unless the municipal council relents and
rescindS the order.
The order also means that the In
ternational settlement will lose most
of its glamour for the tourist parties.
Two o'clock may seem a late closing
hour, but not according to the ShanR-
hal calculations. Most people who 20
out for an evening start their merry
making at about l o'clock.

accepted opinion of how 1t would react
He forecast increasing safety which
would lead to mechanical refrigeration
for cooling living rooms.
Forecasts Silk Increase.
A day when feminine America can
wear mostly silken garments made
cheaply by synthetic chemistry was
forecast in several papers. Prof. Charles
e. Mullin of Clemson College said the
1880 output of these silken fabrics in
the United States will exceed last year
by 80 per cent. 1t will be worth about
$l9O,000,000, an increase of $40, 000,0 900
above 1929.
This country. he said, makes almost
three times as much of this synthetic
goods as the next three largest pro-
ducing countries combined, Italy, Eng
land and Germany. About two-thirds
of the American output is from plants
south of the Mason and Dixon line.
For cold weather he forecast artificial
silken "wOols," quoting reports that
cheaper methods for making them are
coming slowly into practice. The wool
is similar to the silken synthetic fiber,
except that instead of being smooth its
strands are made with a covering of
curlicues which serve to create small
air pockets.
w. Donald MunSon, research chemist
of the Southern Chemical Cotton Co.,
Chattanooga, said that cotton is used
to make 10000 tons of synthetic silken
goods annually. 1t is made from the
tuzz remaining of cotton seed after the
long fibers have been cut of. From
this fuzz also is made annually 10000
tons Of material for tableware, celluloid
articles, film, auto lacquers and artificial
leather.

Crying-"Don't leave me alone!"
