TTARVEY HUNT knew the old man
l. i had not walked toward the rear of
the hall in the case Of Shadows, be
cause he did not fall into the easily
made error Of the woman witness AMI
the police.
This woman had seen hut the shadow
of the old man thrown on the shade OF
the front window by the lamp on the
table at the rear end of the hall.
To 20. toward the rear of the hall the
man would have approached the source
of light and rcccdcd from the shade.
The witness assumed that he did this
because his silhouette became smaller.
But, as q matter Of fact. when an OBJ
jcct between a source of light and the
screen on which its shadow falls moves
closer to the light the size of the image
increases. 1t becomes smaller whcn the
object moves away from the light.
The stairs were at the front end OF
the hallway. What the old man had
done when he came out of his room was
to walk forward to the stairway, stand
n moment, charge his mind and 90 back
to his room, which was halfway down
the hall. The murdered man was III Il
room ht the rear end Of the hall. Hence
he knew nothing Of the crime.

NEW VERSION OF
THE BOOK OF JOB
DR.. Jastro,o, Who Condemns
the old Trunslations, Of
fers One of His O,Un

DIR. Morris Jastrow, Jr.. of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. has made
retranslation of the book of Job from
the most accurate texts available, which
Is likely to be regarded for years to
come as the best version extant Of the
famous piece of literature. DR.. JAS
trow is an original scholar Of high
standing. He has devoted years to the
study of the book and of the various
has applied to his translation an in
formed intelligence with what other
scholars are likely to regard as most
satisfactory results.
The translation in the King James
version of the Bible is condemned by
him for it's many inaccuracies. He ad-
mits that it is an English classic. but
denies that it has merit as transla-
tiOn. He commcnds the translation
made by the American Baptist Publica-
ton Society in 1913 because it has
gone farther than others in adopting
corrections where the text was mani
festly corrupt. The translation made
by the American Jewish Publication
Society in 1915 does not satisfy him. for
it is frankly based on the Massoretic
text. AS a translation Of that text It
is good says DR.. Jastrow. but he says
that it is hopeessly defective. As 1t
deliberately ignores the results of mod :
ern critical study. His own transla-
ton is based on the results of the study
of the original texts by the ablest schol-
ars.
DIR. Jastrow disagrees with both Pro-
fcssor Moulton and II. VI. Kal'cn. who
have asserted that Job Is drama Mr..
kallen has written book intended to
prove that Job is Greek drama written
under the influence of Greek culture.
He has made version OF it arranged in
Greek dramatic form that he insists jus =
tifes his conclusion. DR.. Jastrow, how
ever, insists that the book is a sympo-
sium and not a drama. The history OF
it's production precludes the acceptance
Of the drama theory.
Nearly 200 pages Of DR.. Iastrow's s
book are devoted to an examination into
the history of the great literary master
| piece. Then about an equal number
of pages is devoted to the translation
with copious explanatory notes. II
