AMERICAN JEWS
TO HAVE BIBLE
Translation Begun 10 Years
Ago Receives Fresh
Impetus

An impetus has recently been given to
the project Of publishing new transla-
Jon Of the Bible. a work undertaken by
the Jewish Publication Society Of Amer
lea about ten years ago, and in the COM
pletion Of which the services Of the most
distinguished Jewish scholars OF this
country have been enlisted A revised"
translation Of the Old Testament has for
a long time been demanded by English
speaking Jews, for use in their homes and
religious schools. and frequent objections
have been made to the use for purposes
OF study Of the authorized and the revised
yersions Of the Scriptures.
The work Of translation was delegated
% a board Of editors. including the most
noted Jewish scholars Of the land, at the
head Of which as editor-in-chief was the
Rev DR.. Marcus NJ. Jastrow, whose death
in 1903 caused a serious interruption to a
work which under his capable and inde-
fatigable labors had made remarkable
progress.
Within the past few months the vari-
Gus threads Of the work however. have
been taken in hand by reorganized COM
mittees Of the Jewish Publication Society,
and it is the hope of those interested In
the movement that a complete copy Of the
old Testament adapted to the needs OF
American Jews will be issued at an early
date. Whether this shall be an entirely
new transaction, or be in part based upon
a revision of the existing authorized and
revised versions. has not as yet been def
nitely determined.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW YORK, Feb 25.-"The gasoline
driven automobile has added a new dis
ease to the woes Of Civilizations disease
which may cut ten years Off the life Of
the persons afflicted 1 would call It
automobile disease and have discovered
that not only in New York, in streets
frequented by such motor cars, but in
Paris, London and Berlin 1t also exists"
DR.. Henry c. Becker, prominent ply.
sician, Of No. 1i2 West one Hundred and

night after conducting tests for nearly a
year on patients suffering from the new
malady, which affects the tissue Of the
throat and lungs, causing congestion and
decay, and giving a working area for the
bacilh Of consumption. pneumonia, grip
and other affections peculiar to the respI-
ratory organs
about a year ago." the doctor said "a
man whom I later found to be a member
Of the traffic squad stationed on Fifth
avenue, at a point where the gasoline
fumes from cars often choked him. came
to me complaining Of chronic sore throat
His case baffled me. Examination showed
it was no ordinary disease, and con-
Quoted an investigation I found that one
week after the bluecoat had been trans
ferred to a district not haunted by motor
cars he got well.
Other similar cases came to my atten-
ton. and 1 communicated with physicians
in European cities The international in
vestigation proved that my tentative
theory was right.
Some device should be used to absorb
the fumes from these machines, as they
endanger probably thousands Of lives
daily, especially those OF the traffic squad
