Slang Among the Ancients.

An ancient use of a modern slang
idiom was mentioned recently by r. q.
Poet, the lecturer in Egyptology at
Manchester university. He said that
the Egyptians always used the verb
ito do" in referring to a visit to a
country, just as an American today
speaks of ''doing" Paris or London,
After this it will not surprise us to
learn that Hannibal considered his
expeditions as nothing more than
stunts" or that the Roman populace

DIR. GRAY CLEARS UP
BAPTIST DRIVE
LOCAL CHURCH WORK NOT IN.
GUIDED.

be no conflict of interests among
southern Baptists in the forthcoming
campaign to raise $75,OOO,OOO, for the
maintenance and extension of the
activities of the Southern Baptist
Convention during the next five
years. This has been made clear by
a statement just issued by B. D.
Cry, corresponding secretary and
executive head of the Baptist Home
Mission Board, who makes it plain
that thorough understanding of the
situation leaves no room for mis-
understanding.
"The $75,000,0OO campaign includes
all the activities of southern Baptists
outside of local church work for the
next five years" declares DR.. Gray.
This takes in missions, education
and benevolent work such as hospitals
orphanages and kindred institutions.
The campaign is under the general
direction of the campaign commission
appointed by the Southern Baptist
Convention, with DR.. George w.
Truett as chairman. Dr. L. r. Scar
borough, president of the Southwest
ern Baptist Theological seminary at
Forth Worth, Texas, has been chosen
director general of the campaign. He
and his co-workers will operate
through the various state denomina-
tional agencies, the state mission
secretaries being the directors in the
various states. etao
1.-THE boards of the Southern Bap-
fist Convention will press their work
as usual, but in harmony with the
plans of the general commission All
monies raised by the agencies of the
mission boards and the educational
board will be part of and not in ex-
cess of the $75,OOO,OOO fund. In like
manner the various state boards of
missions, education and benevolence
will work in harmony with the general
program and such funds as they raise
will be part of the $75,O0O,000 budget.
"While the right of individuals and
churches to designate gifts is recog
nized, it is urged that gifts be I'M
designated, so that each interest may
receive it's due proportion. Any inter
est receiving designated funds suf-
ficient to meet it's proportion, will not
share in undesignated gifts until all
other interests have received their
due proportion"
DR.. Gray's object in making this
statement relative to the campaign
is to clarity a situation which has
caused more or less misunderstanding
among the Baptists of the south. The
Home Mission Board, the Foreign
Mission Board and the Educational
Board have their own financial pro-
grams and they annually dbnduct "a
financial campaign to raise funds to
meet their needs. Some confusion has
been caused in the minds of southern
Baptist who did not understand
that these board campaigns would be
merged in the great drive for $75,-
900 1000 to cover the next five-year
period and DR.. Gray's explanation OF
the plans is intended to climate any
misconception.

MoToRTRuck FEES DIFFER
No General Understanding Through
out the Country as to Rate
to Be Paid.

At the beginning of 1919 there were
still % states in which motortrucks
were registered at the same rate as
pleasure cars. Recent years, however,
have shown quite general tendency
to Increase the fees required for neavy
motortrucks. This increase usually is
based on the weight of the truck, its
carrying capacity, or a combination of
its carrying capacity and its horse
power. However, there is as yet no
evidence of any well-defined general
goal toward which this movement is
tending. Some states are placing a
definite maximum weight which may
not be exceeded except in very special
cases; others are evidently relying on
discouraging or limiting the use of
very heavy trucks by making the regis
tration fees so large as to practically
prevent the realization of any profit;
while still other states are making no
serious efforts except to limit the
weight of the wheel loads per inch
width of tire. The terms motortruck
and commercial vehicle, moreover, are
very definite. In some states the term
commercial vehicle as used includes
all trucks, while in others only those
vehicles used for hire are classed as
commercial.
