Landor's activity in aeronautic inves'

Afternoon.
Now the question of Sunday playing

The Liberal electoral organizers at
Westminster at once realized that If
Sunday golfing by their leader was to
be added to their other responsible
ties the results in the general election
were foregone conclusion.

Latin name biblia, which was treated
as a singular although it comes from
the Greek neuter plural, meaning ''lit-
tie books" This Greek diminutive
was derived from byblus, or papyrus,
the famous material on which ancient
books were written. The title Bible
was first used about the middle Of the
second Christian century in the SO
called second epistle of Clement
