DIRECT FROM HEBREW
First Translation of Bible by Jews Is
Completed.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE first trans
lation of the Bible from the original
Hebrew. the completion of which was
celebrated last night, marks the be-
ginning of other translations into
English which speakers declared were
the Intention of the committee In
charge Of the work. DR.. solomon
Schochter, president of the Jewish
theological seminary. said that 1t Is
very important that the Jews begin.
in the near future, the work OF trans
lating a commentary in which, ne SAID,
Christian scholarship preceded them.
THE completion Of this work marks
an epoch" said j. Schin. I'VE snail
now have a Jewish Bible printed in a
language which we can read.'
This Bible" said DR.. Kaufman
Kohler. sis free from sectarian and
Jewish bias. 1t is Jewish in that it has
taken cognizance of the usages OF the
synagogue in the order in which the
books are presented.
I'VE present this translation as a
peace offering to non-Jewish peoples
and hope that it will serve as a link to
bind the English speaking world more
closely" -'fe1-'-'--
The new Bible represents compro-
mise between the so-called conserva-
tive and progressive branches of Ju-
daism. The dictiOn and phraseology OF
the King James version are used.
Many Of the books Of the Old Tes-
lament appear in order different from
that followed in the Christian Bibles.
Daniel, for instance, is placed in the
apocalyptic section instead of among
the prophets.

Ar THE THEATERS.

Harry Lauder. who comes to the
Grand on Saturdaya night. has tried
his hand at editorial work. Since he
was here on his fifth tour Of the United
States he was appointed Joke editor
Of the Peoples Journal of Life in Scot
land, and he took an active interest IN
his studies. Besides furnishing ma
terial Of his own. he established Joke
contest" for his journal and offered a
prize for the best humorous anecdote
sent in. A school boy of Edinburgh
won LADDERS ten shillings with this
story:
TON Wilson's son and heir had just
been christened and the minister was
congratulating the worthy parents on
the baby's splendid behavior. Why
said he, that is the first time in all
my experience that I baptised a child
who did not cry during the ceremony.
"'Ye see, SIR answered Tom. he's
got kind Of used to it. His mither an
me has been practicin' on him for the
last fortnight WI a bucket O. caud

GREAT SHOWING.
Building Permits for January OF Prin.
cipal Cities OF United States.

January made a creditable showing
In building permits. taking the coun-
try as a whole. as compared with De-
cember. Topeka was among the cities
that showed a substantial gain over
January OF 1913. The gain of this city
was 179 per cent.
Official reports received by the Amer
throughout the country show that
building permits issued In those cities
total $37. .152 800, as compared with $40.-
361, $40 for the permits issued in Janu-
ary. 1913. This is a decrease Of per
cent. but the showing is an improve
when 70 cities reported total operations
Of $57. .266.319. With q number Of the
larger cities yet unrepresented the to-
tai for the same cities in January will
no doubt show q gain. Another In
teresting feature ID that both New
BILE losses. The loss for these two
cities is greater than that In the en-
tire statement, SO that II they are
omitted the statement would be ia
vorable. The reason for this COM
parative decline in the largest two cit
struction OF buildings a year ago was
very active. The supply of office
room in the larger skyscrapers has
been rather overdone and In that par
t1culdT DfauCn OF couStruCtlOu WOIA
there will therefore be some modera-
ton until demand for space more
nearly equals the supply.
1t is gratifying to note the general
Improvement throughout the country.
Many cities made heavy gains over a
year ago. Among these may be men,
toned, with their percentages OF
gain, the following: Baltimore. 1872;
Cedar Rapids. 1863; Duluth. 246: Grand
Rapids. 31s; Peoria, 274; Pittsburg,
204; Seattle. lis; Shreveport, 141; To-
peka. 179; Worcester, 233. OF the 54
cities, 30 show gains. The figures in
detail are as follows:
