Mysterious?"
He said in part: "a continuous
study of the bible solves its so called
mysteries concerning the welfare OF
the people of the earth. OF course
it is a mystery to those who keep
a bible for the purposes OF keeping
away the 'Hoo-dooes, to use as a
place of safety for keeping things.
for family record or door prop.
God gave man his mind also gave
him the bible to study, he did not
make the bible so the mind of man
could not understand it. The bible
was not written for the devil or
those who were cast into hell with
him, neither for the angels of heaven
but for man and it is just as he
wanted it. We some times hear
people say I wish the Lord had been
a little palmer ON a certain subject
The bible is as plain as God desired
and has given man a mind that can
comprehend that part that concerns
him.
"All great men were bible students
Shakespeare drew from it S57 times

though she contends that she wanted
to end her life, Mrs. Zelda Keller
Gerhold probably saved it by looking
into a mirror to direct the aim of her
revolver Angered because she believ-
ed her husband unfaithful to her, she
went to an upstairs room of her
home in Mercersburg, near here, and
pointed the pistol at her heart. How
ever, by looking into the mirror she
misjudged the angle OF the pistol and
instead of entering hor bodv, the
bullet passed under her left breast
causing only painful flesh wound
and some powder burns
Mrs. Gerhold first entered the
limelight in Franklin county when
she was prosecuted for, and acquit-
ted of the murder of her first hus-
band. Floyd Keller, whom she was
alleged to have poisoned.
Recently she brought suit against
her second husband, Louis Gerhold,
for desertion and nonsupport. After
she entered the suit, her husband re-
turned to live with her, but she told
friends who found her after the
shooting that he had remained away
from home couple nights last week
and it was because of that that she
decided to end hci life.

Cumberland VALLEY News
WINS
STREET RENTAL
State Supreme Court Decides
in Favor of Mechanicsburg
in Valley Railways Suit

Mechanicsburg, Pa, June "a. =
After years of contention between
the borough of Mechanicsburg and
the Valley Railways Company, with
a law suit of long standing, a de-
cision was reached by the Supreme
Court. the highest judicial body in
the State of Pennsylvania, in favor
Of the former. This is, in effect,
that the borough is sustained in the
ordnance. asking the rental of ST.
200 per annum for the use of the
streets.
The trolley line resisted the pay
ment of this amount and the mat
ter went through the courts. The
lower court, Judge Gillian sitting, de-
cided unreservedly in favor of the
borough, whereupon the Valley
Company appealed to the Superior
Court. The Superior Court, Justice
Porter, affirmed the decision of the
lower court, declaring that the
question at issue was the borough's
constitutional right to make and
enforce a contract, which neither
the Legislature nor the courts had
the power to nullify. This decision
was appealed by the trolley company
to the Cumberland County Court,
Judge Mcpherson. of Adams county,
presiding, who dismissed the case
and sustained the borough.
The decision of the Supreme
Court gives the borough the right
to charge $1,000.
During the years the matter was
in the court, the amount due the
borough has accumulated, until at
the present time the sum is in the
neighborhood of $4,000.

the peace treaty is virtually signed,
American soldiers will be brought

told Dickinson graduates, alumni
and visitors at the one hundred and
thirty-sixth annual commencement

In addition to the degrees in
course conferred some honorary oe-
grees were given out. They in

was best in American college men.

great problems to the solving of
which those who go out from the
institutions of learning should lend
every effort.
