Geo. HenshaW and Oil.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 2.-Corpora'
ton Commissioner Henshaw has been
devoting about one-half his time dur
ing the past three months to the pc
troleum and refinery problems that
have come with the big flow of oil
in the Oklahoma fields. He has been
able to adjust most of the difficulties
and conserve the oil
He remarked today that the oil sit
uation is much like running an auto
mobile, as seen by small boy in the
suburb of this city
The other day, Mr. Henshaw dis
covered, just as his machine reached
the top of hill, that he was out of
gasoline. He let the car coast back
ward to the foot of the incline, where
there was a grocery store.
A small boy approached the ma
chine as it stopped and inquired about
the trouble. Not getting much sat
isfaction, he said:
'Have you read the book"
what book" asked Mr.. Henshaw.
"Why. the way to do when a ma
chine stops is to read the book a
while, and then pour some oil on the
machine" replied the observant small
boy.

Adams Oldest

By Rutledge Rutherford,


~AIN was the oldest son of Adam and /,
Eve, according to the Jehovistic ac-
count of the Creation-the first born
Of the human race. His birth is reported in
the first verse of the eventful fourth chap
ter of Genesis Eve bare Cain and said
have gotten a man of the Lord" The next
verse tells Of the birth of Abel, the second
son. Cain was a tiller of The ground and
Abel a keeper of sheep. The rejection of

brother Thereupon Cain was condemned to
be fugitive and a vagabond and mark
was placed upon him. so the fifteenth verse
declares, but straightway the sixteenth
verse asserts, rather contrarily, that he
went and dwelt in the Land of Nod, and
the seventeenth that his wife bare Enoch,

Now, who could have been

rative somewhat obstrusely,
it is noted. She is the sec
ond woman mentioned in the
Bible, the first after Eve.
The story is explicit enough

In the dark to when, where and how
Gains wife came into being AS Abel had
been killed, the birth of Seth not yet re-
corded, and no mention so far made of
other sons and daughters" it would be
supposed that there were only three people
In the world up to this time-Adam, Eve
RDd Cain--and that Eve was the only wom-
RL. Hence, unless there were other pro-
genitors Of the human race there could
have been no woman for Cain to marry.
After the mention of Gains wife. the Land
of Nod, and the founding of the city of
Enoch, this same salient fourth chapter, in
the twenty-ffth verse, reports the birth of
Seth. And in the twenty-sixth and last
verse we are confronted with another prob
lem in the birth of son to Seth.
A"To explain all this as literal history"
one theologian AYERS, were to attribute
other perfection to the Deity than infinite
power, spirituality and wisdom"
So great are the difficulties that the Church
of England does not demand a literal I'M
derstanding. Yet Augustine and the Re
formers hold out for the literal, as do many
other authorities. The style of the nara
tive gives no indication that any other in
depreciation was intended, but all efforts to
this end fall wide the mark of consistency,
making the text literal at times and then
fgurative necessity demands.
Coleridge argues that it is an allegory In
the same light it is viewed by Ambrose,
Origen, and the Greek Fathers of Alexan-
dria. Philo allegorizes it in a purely spirit
ual sense
But, as Dr. Samuel Davidson asserts,
there is not the slightest indication that an
allegory was intended.
Had this been the case" he says 1.-THE
truths meant to be conveyed would have
been easily discovered. The embarrassment
and capriciousness of the allegorical inter-
prefers prove that they are following a
wrong method"
Cain-worshipping religions in their vile
interpretations actually reversed the con-
ventional concept of morality Such were
the Cainites who paid obeisance to all the
evil characters of the Old Testament in
Guiding Potiphar's wife, Esau, Korah, Jeze-
bel and Delilah; the Adamites who appeared
naked at their assemblies and rejected the
marriage form as an outgrowth of sin; the
Ophites who inculcated indifference to all
actions and held that nothing was really
evil by nature; and the followers of Car
pocrates, Epiphanes and Cyranus All iden-
tihed the serpent with the Redeeming
World and tried to transform the Power
of Evil into the Ideal of Good.
Thus they have gone on interpreting the
story in all manner of ways and making it
the basis Of all manner of beliefs. And with
these and all the manifold explanations by
scholars and creeds, the perpetual crux of
the Story OF Cain, beginning with the Crea-
ton and made the topic of the newest
opera to entertain society, comes down to
us through the ages. And shall we say it
is no nearer solution to-day than at the
beginning?
No! For this is the age of science. Since
science has worked out so many other puz-
zles, we have turned its light on the Story
Of Cain, and. lol we find a solution.

SAFE IN GERMANY

The first definite word as to the con-

ed the State Department today in long
dispatch from Ambassador Gerard.
All Americans in Germany are per-
fectly safe the Ambassador declSyed. A
registration office has been opened in
the Berlin embassy and a relief depart
ment has been in operation ten days.
from which, daily allowances have been
made destitute Americans. -..--
Ambassador Gerard declared that he
had made arrangements with Dresdener
Bank to- cash letters Of credit and
checks of all Americans when stamped
with the consular seal. He has sent
money to consuiates all over Germany
for relief of Americans in the Interior.
Gerard did not accompany the special
train which went to Holland yesterday.
according to the belief of department
officials, as his telegram today said that
he was sending a special train to Hol-
land. but said nothing about his ac-
companying it. Nothing was said as TO
the facilities of getting Americans out
of Germany. except the one reference to
sending a special train. Travel to the
south. he said, is practically impossi-
