The operations for mining as known
to the early Hebrews are given in the
twenty-eighth chapter Of Job. The do
scription Is highly poetical. In Egypt

The Denarius.

The denarius, translated penny, was
a Roman silver coin in the time Of
Jesus and his apostles. 1t was the
principal silver coin of the Roman
commonwealth. From the parable of
the laborers in the vineyard, in the
twentieth chapter of Matthew, it would
appear that a denarius was then the
ordinary pay for days labor.

Leaders discussed many proposals
for compromises on the liquor issue.

mitting that because Of the presidents
Intervention prohibition would extend
to only distilled liquors,
Leaders of the dry movement are
working for the best possible compro-
mise.
Senator Martin. the democratic lead
er, Senator Chamberlain and some OF
the other leaders planned and predict
ed adoption OF an amendment stopping
only liquor distillation and giving the
president no authority to stop wines
and beer. Senators who conferred with
the president are confident that even
II given such authority he would not
exercise 1t for the present at least.
The dry forces. admitted by their
leaders to be without the votes to stop
manufacture OF beers and wines, are
divided on giving the president any
authority over the light beverages.
Anti saloon leaders today decided on
hands off, policy towards the situ-
alton and in letter to President VIII
son to be drafted later will express a
willingness to leave the question to
congress and to the president.
