MOODY ADVISES TARIFF OUT TO END DEPRESSION New York Economist Also Favors Cancellation Reduction of Debts Owed U. S. By United Prim LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 10.— Lower tariffs, reduction or cancellation of inter-allied debts and contraction of armament and other governmental expenditures will bring economic stability and prosperity, John Moody, New York economist, told industrialists attending the second annual conference at Purdue university today. “Further,” Moody said, “we must abandon the mistaken policy of trying to create prosperity by appropriating huge sums from public treasuries to bolster industry. Our federal government today is facing a budget deficit in the billions and it will be much larger next year. “Until these big fundamental problems, mainly international in their scope, are definitely on the way to settlement, world confidence can not be restored, and no sustained revival of general business is possible, either in this or any other country.” Harrison E. Howe, Washington, editor of the Engineering and Industrial Chemistry, in a banquet speech Friday night accused scientific research as the pilot of industry. Scientific knowledge will open hew fields to industry, he said, giving employment to those workers which utilization of the same knowledge has thrown out of jobs through machinization and improved production methods.” CLERGYMAN TO SPEAK Second De Pauw Vesper Address by Bishop Edgar Blake.

BIRTH CONTROL STAND CHANGES MAN’SJIELIGION Protestant Episcopal Support Makes Convert of Catholicism. Bp Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 10.— Bowyer Campbell, who forsook the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal church to become a Catholic and is a history professor at the University of Notre Dame, declares the stand taken in favor of birth control by the Protestant Episcopal church was “the last nail in the coffin” for his connection with that denomination. Birth control was approved at the Lambeth conference. “There is a growing apprehension,” Campbell declares,” among many Episcopalians over the inroads of modernism in the Episcopal church. Eclecticism, or the tendency to accept some doctrines and cast away thers, is causing bewilderment among those who cling to Christ and believe that what Christ commands, not what man w'ishes, must be the form of religious beliefs. Modernists are doing the things they like, believing that appeal to them and casting away the things they do not like to do or believe. “They fail to see the converse of their actions. If they wish to act in such a way, if they believe it well and proper for them to do so, they should remember that men of other creeds will do the same thing and make of religion a matter of individual preference and not loyalty to the teachings of Christ.”

BEEKEEPERS WARNED OF HONEY BOUND HIVES Chief Apiary Inspector Points to Danger With Winter Near. Beekeepers are urged to examino | colonies to determine if hives are i honey-bound, and take immediate j step to provide room for young bees jto be raised this winter, by J. E. j Starkey, chief inspector of apiaries, division of entomology, state conservation department. This unusual condition exists among, many colonies in the clover, belt, according to Starkey, particularly in the central and eastern parts of the state. Many hives are so full of honey that the queens have been crowded out of laying room in the brood nest and colonies therefore may face the winter minus a proper nest, and with only old bees which quickly die in cold weather. Such a condition, says the inspector, is quite likely to result in a heavy winter mortality of colonies unless weather conditions are unusually favorable for very late brood rearing and food consumption. According to the inspector, the remedy for the honey-bound hives is to take out one or two frames of honey, and at once insert in their stead frames of empty drawn combs. This will provide room for the queen to lay, and for the voung bees produced before winter begins, PRISONER WINS LIBERTY; Kokomo Man Resists Return to New York in Child Support Case.
