JONAH AND THE CRITICS

There are several narratives in the books of the Old Testament that merit immunity from the searching analysis of cynical criticism Their very wonder adds to their dignified inn pressiveness, and their variance from the hum- drum experiences of everyday life carries it's own charm. It is only natural that the adven- lures of the sea- with all their romantic poss- billtles, should be included in these records of the patriarchal past. The nautical and zooog- ical achievement of Noah has no parallel in lit erature. That 1t is unique only adds to the ex- ercise of faith.
 But scientific investigation sometimes brings corroboraton The celebrated voyage of Jonah has been favorite object of attack by the skeptica. They have disputed the accuracy of the translation that nterprets his living ve- hicle as whale. Learned zoologists insist that no whale could swallow man. because ofthose meshes in the creatures throat that modern industry has utilized to its profit But there may have been giant whales in those days. and there remains the possibility of uncalculated elasticity of the creature's throat. But the sci entifc investigators will not let we'll enough alone. The cOntemporaneOus fish story comes from the Mediterranean that shark has been caught having in its stomach the bodies of a man, woman and child These ghastly evi- dences prove tragedy that calls for sympathy But they are not to be taken as an indication that the sea monster that swallowed Jonah was a shark. They demonstrate only the abnormal capacity and melancholy opportunity of one particular fish. Moreover, there is ample au- thority for the statement that there are nature nature fakers in these days. The imaginative survives the utilitarian age. There must be some room for credence. It really ought not to be necessary to adjust everything that hap pened in the dim past to hard literature of pres

MARRIAGE AS A HANDICAP

Married men in and out of the military naval establishment will sympathize with the rejoin- der which has been made by young mdship- man in his own behalf to the official criticism passed upon him by his commanding officer The latter, in the periodical report which IS required of the fitness of every subordinate officer, added to that usually uninteresting document the opinion that 'This midshipmans $ usefulness seems to beimpaired by matrimony.'
 The young man, who was under training and observation for permanent duty in the commis- stoned personnel of the navy, had the customary right to reply to the remarks of the senior of- ficer and he did this in the following concise and pointed language: ''I do not consider that the fact that am married man has anything to do with the matter for no such report as that has ever been made before, and l consider that the captain had only taken a bachelors view of the matter"
 It required considerable courage on the part of the unmarried senior naval officer to go on official record as ascrbng to matrimOny any such quality as the impairment of service use funess The proceeding, however, was unfor- tunate, and if the bachelor officer had been as wise as his ceIibacy should have made him, he would have refrained from presenting so vulnerable target to the enemy; he would have known, too, that the married man is, by virtue of condition and temperament an enemy with out mercy or conscience. This will probably not be the occasion of any official investigation, but we entertain the keenest regret that the midshipman did not make the incident the basis of some sort of request which would lead to an official determination of the relative efficiency of bachelors and those inflicted with matri- mony With the decision given by fair-minded officers, it would then be impossible for pre- maturey married youngster in the naval ser vice to engage in such heartless fling at sen for who merely loves his country and is only welded to his duty.
