OF course we all aspire to looking
straight and slim-and smart, like the
ladies in the fashion pictures-and the
best way to go about achieving our
ambitions is to study those pictures,
and ourselves, with care and the aid
Of a comprehensive mirror. We may
accomplish slimness and we may not,
but we can be sure of straightness and
smartness, and these ought to satisfy
anybody. Above all things we long to
look smart in street clothes, for smart
ness is their fiavor-without it they
are fiat failures.
Keen designers who have our aspira-
tions and difficulties in mind, bring to
us such examples of their genius as
the new suit, with its straight, one
piece back in very short coat that
is shown here. Or, If one-piece
frock and top coat is our hearts de-
sire, they present such irreproachable
top-cOats as that shown beside the suit.
There is nothing startlingly novel
about them, but there are several in
teresting details in their construction.
No one needs to be told that they are
smart looking and distinctly In the

"W-a-a-a-a-l, Cap'n," began Grindle
the stOrekeeper, 9Th annual meeting
Of the legal voters O. this town, to meet
an act upon certain articles to-wit,
namely, amt nothin' what it used to
be. Times is changed wonderfully,
specially since the war broke out.
"Town meet'n' nowadays is gettin'

which meets in tn small vestry di-
rectly after preachin' services, to
which all adults are invited.
"They amt no winders broke, nor

HARD 10 TRANSLATE BIBLE
Considerable Amount of Ingenuity Re.
quired to Make Words Fit Saw
age Knowledge.

How much do you suppose an Es-
kimO knows about an olive? Or
Hottentot about cherubim2 Or a can
nlbal about the Holy Ghost?
That's why the men and women who
translate the Bible into pagan lam
guages have to use greater amount
of ingenuity and Imagination than
anything else, observes writer in the
World outlook.
1t must have been a very pleasant
person who finally suggested to the
mingled relief and amusement of the
tired workers, that "the lamb of God"
might just as well be translated "the
little seal of God" in the Eskimo Bible.
Eskimo children have the same ten
derness toward the funny little things
with their mOurnful eyes and soft fur
that other children have toward baby
sheep.
The Eskimo Bible was one of the
most difficult to translate, and has Just
been finished after 250 years of work.
OF course, to half frozen, fur-clad
people, living in igloos-or is it har-
poons?-and surrounded by polar bears
and walruses, 1t is next to impossible
to translate the story of the bright
colored, sun-drenched holy land. The
language of northern people Is nec-
essarily lacking in dozens of words
and phrases, and, too often, even
Ideas.
But Bible translating is like Greek
grammar-there's an exception to
every rule. The Zulus live in coun-
try as warm and tropical as the holy
land on the pleasantest of days, but
the Zulu Bible has offered about as
many difficulties as any respectable
task has a right to offer
In the first place, the earliest trans
latlon was made by more than thirty
people working Independently. Despite
its inaccuracy and inconsistency 1t
was extremely popular among the ma
tives it even shaped Zulu thought so
completely that every paragraph of
the Zulu newspaper teens with Bible
vocabulary. But It was inaccurate.
Many Of the mistakes were, of course,
extremely amusing. The translators
found to their surprise that instead of
crossing the Red sea and the Jordan
dry shod, the children Of Israel went
over thirsty. And literal transla-
tlon Of the promise that enemies should
melt away before them, was discovered
to mean in Zulu idlom tn their en-
emies should be as happy as men full
of beer.
In 1901 new translation was be-
gun. There was still many difficult
ties. How were the translators, for
instance, to describe as in Isaiah 3,
1924, the entire wardrobe Of Jewess
at the height of the nations civiliza-
ton to the Zulu debutante who in the
heaviest winter season wears little
more than a string of scarlet beads?

In their antipathy to England and to

JOINS THE AMERICAN ACES

Several months ago a party Of
young men in Amsterdam, N. Y, bade
good-by to a comrade who was start

paratory to service with the American
Flying corps in France.
"I'll try to give a good account of

man shouted as he swung aboard the
train. After months of waiting, comes
the word that he has made good, for
press dispatches state that Lieut. H.

had bagged five German planes. In
his latest encounter with a German
Gotha Lieutenant Ferguson's machine
was riddled with bullets from a ma

by France with a gold medal in recog-

Of the army, are now on clothing ra-

regulation prescribes just how extern

The only special concession to officers
is that they are not required, as civil
