'ANTI - MODERNISM IN AMERICA
AN UPHEAVAL
ENTIRE UNIVERSITY FACULTY DISMISSED
"INVENTION OF THE DEVIL"
Des Moines, Iowa, Yesterday. The entire Faculty of the Uni- versity of Des Moines has been dismissed. apparently owing to their non-agreement with the fun- damental views of the Baptist Bible Union, which recently took charge of the University. But the Faculty is accorded the privilege of applying for reinstatement in June.
There was a tremendous uproar the dis- by the students after missal of the Faculty. Eggs were thrown and the President of the Board of Trustees, who ordered the dismissal was vigorously boot- ed.
The Police were called in to restore order.
The University represents the ne plus ultra of American funda- mentalism. All modern geologists. and other evolutionists were oust ed two years ago, any suspicion of unorthodoxy or modernism be- ing severely outstamped.
Higher criticism of the Bible is regarded as an invention of the devil.-Reuter's American Service.
LABOUR PROBLEM
EMPLOYMENT OF JUVENILES IN BRITAIN
BIRTH RATE DECLINE
London, Yesterday. The Ministry of Labour, in a White Paper, discusses the effect of the employment of juveniles in the next six years, resulting from gen- eral decline in the birth rate, which occurred during the war period. It will gradually reduce the supply of juvenile labour in Britain from now onwards till about 1940. The lowest ebb will be reached at various points between 1931 and 1933, the. figures for the latter year being nearly 20 per cent. below those of 1927. In 1934 there will be a sharp rise, continuing for four years and, thereafter, a renewed decline.-Bri- tish Wireless Service,

WRONG ROAD
APPROACHED STAR FERRY ON LEFT SIDE
A Chinese youth, student of one of the vernacular schools on the' mainland, who was charged with rid- ing on the wrong side of Salisbury- road, on Saturday, said that he had ridden towards the Kowloon Ferry Wharf, on the road used by the motor buses and was unaware of the fact that only buses could use that road.
It was explained by the prosecu- tion that the accused had approach- ed the ferry wharf on the left side of the ricsha stand, instead of using that part of the road on the right hand side which all other traffic, with the exception of motor buses, was permitted to use.
His Worship enquired if it were a new regulation that enforced this rule. The answer was that the re- gulation had been enforced for some time past
