This time ii is not merely the rather
trite question OF the real authorship OF

the Bible also. Sir Edward Durning-
Lawrence starts from the fact that
can neither be disputed nor explained
away that in the so-ca!led authorized
version of 1911 the Fortysixth Psalm is
so arranged that the forty sixth word
from the beginning is shake" and the
forty-siNth word from the end is ''speare.

1t is recognized fact that from one

of how the national forest will regulate
the stream flow by temporarily retain

forests are composed largely of hard
woods and the humus produced by
hardwoods has much greater capacity
for absorption than that of pines. At
present this humus has in many places
either been destroyed by fire or else
the excessive cutting of timber has
depleted it by exposing it to sun and
wind.

Clear to His Mind.

Nothing. in Sir Edward burning Law
rence's belief. could be clearer-Bacon or
Shakespeare was chiefly responsible for
the English used in the authorized ver-
sion of the Bible. Why otherwise the
use of the 1911 edition of the horned
sheep. the 'B. A Cornuto," and the
"shake lance at ignorance" SYMBOL
and the peacocks with the three feathers
i'm their tails? 1t matters nothing to the
fantastic controversialist that shake
and 'speare We're almost in the same
place in the same psalm In the Geneva BIZ
bile. issued the year before Bacon was born
that shake was the forty-siXth word
down and .'speare' only two removed
from the forty-sixth word up in the great
Bible published more than a score of
years before. and that the coincidence OF
the 1911 version needed no very long arm
to effect II.
The question may be of interest to peo-
pie with jigsaw puzzle minds. but whether
il will add weight to Sir Edward Dur

form or any other cause may be doubted

Function of Storage

value. will be the checking of erosion
of land upon the mountain slopes. In
the southern Appalachians. as the
sleeper slopes have been cleared for
farming with the increase of popula-
ton. it has been found thai erosion
has Increased rapidly. Erosion is the
decomposition of uncovered slope land
until it is washed irto streams by rain
flow. 1t chokes up the stream channel
and finally requires expensive .dredg-
ing operations in order that the navi-

gradual growth of humus which Will
be undisturbed in the national forest.
The forest service has two other
policies which are looked to to bring
tine forest into immediate favor with
the people living in the vicinage OF its
various areas. These are the encour-
agement of the use of the forest lands
for hunting, fishing and other modes
of recreation. and the employment to
the furthest possible extent of natives
of the various localities for the admin
istration of the forest areas of the APP
palachian national forests.

RAILROAD RATES.

Something more than two years ago the railroads made
concerted attempt to increase freight rates. The ad

sissppi river and later took in practically the entire
country These increases were suspended for intervals
of various lengths The interstate commission,
which heard the complaints of the shippers has since i'll

roads, and in not few instances has authorized increased

the increases held in allegiance for two years This
period has about expired and in consequence the rail

their freight tariffs
From time to time notices received from Washing

commission by various merchants associations and organ

that the railroads be permitted to increase their
