| DOESN'T. BELONG IN BIBLE
American Educator Explains Presence
In Book Of Myth Of Jonah
and the Whale.

DR.. r. q. Moulton, professor Of lit
erature at the University of Chicago.
addressing gathering Of Wesleyans
at Bath. England. where lie received
his education, insisted that Jonah was
not swallowed by the whale and that
the story forms no part of the real
Bible.
The Bible, mighty in Itself. said Doc.
tor Moulton, had passed through the
hands Of commentators who had no
knowledge, no understanding OF lit
erature, and who reduced 1t to form
.rt:!c.: !:s !!:t!e CT *: to ;.i;
real Bible. One of these numerous
commentators had written into that
most spiritual and beautiful book OF
Jonah the narrative Of the whale, The
only effect being one Of distortion and
Disagreement.
In actual fact the story, asserted
Doctor Moulton, had been originally
in the form Of mere footnote COM
ment In manuscript but by some blum
der, due to careless, slipshod printing
from which the Bible suffered more
than any other book in the world, the
fable Of the whale had been included
In the general text. And in this way
had it come down. through the ages to
the modern world as pure comedy, or
what was worse, ribald satire. ),

LEFT WHEN OCEAN RETIRED
Californian Reports Finding Millions
of Shells Far Above thesPres-
ent Sea Level.

Drills I. Kennedy, an attorney OF
San Bernardino, Cal.,. has returned
from an exploration trip on Painted
hill, which is 20 miles east of San
Bernardino. He brought with him
samples of seashells from the great
bed of one-time ocean that is older
than Mount San Jacinto and story
of seeing an old Spanish musket and
Indian water vessels in an inaccessi-
bic place on the hill.
Kennedy plans to organize a party
to return and get the musket, which,
:ia .aaii;;a,Tess, is al least one hundred
years old. To obtain the relic some
body will have to be lowered from a
cliff On rope and then swung into
what probably is an old sea cavern.
Some of the shells, he said. were
found 2050 feet above sea level. He
stated there probably were millions
embedded in the rock formation.

Hoover and the Farns..
From the New lYork World


~ OLD Guard republican congressman are
organising to fight the Hoover move
ment. 1t has been apparent ever since
the world announced its purpose TO
support Hoover on tile right sort of
PLATFORM that the persons hardest hit
We're standpat senator's who. had plans
OF tneir own for naming presidential
Dakota opened the war on Mr.. Hoover
IN speech in the Senate attacking the
way the wheat guarantee law was be-
ing administered. II q a.
There are political farmers and specu-
lafive farmers who will complain to the
end OF their lives. as Senator Gronna
now does. about Mr.. Hooyer's policy in
regard to the price of wheat when he
was at the head of the food admnistra-
ton. but the facts will always be against
them.
All consumers and most farmers will
not forget that wheat has been yielding
ITS producers about three times as much
as they formerly received for it. BY
fixing minimum price the government
guaranteed the grower handsome re-
turn for his investment and labor. and
1t protected him from the raids of the
wheat pit in Chicago. Onlysthe gamblers
OF the markets and the farm had any
reason to bemoan regulation that sta
bilized prices and put money in the
pockets of the farmers rather than in
those of the middlemen.
Soon after the armistice an attempt
was under way at Washington to do
away with the fixed price for wheat.
Some of the leaders of this movement
alarmed the country with predictions
that the treasury would be bankrupted
If 1t persisted in that policy. Backed
by the president, Mr.. Hoover refused
to be stampeded and nothing of the
kind has happened.
Merely as measure OF justice to the
wheat growers this course has proved
OF immense value to them, as most of
them appreciate, and it has not injured
the consumer. If there had been
gambling market for last years crop,
most of it would have gone cheaply into
the hands of Spectators, who afterward
would have taken an extortionate toll
from the consumer.

Success After 80.
From Peoples Magazine

FROM -People'S Magazine.
Don't think you'll never make big
success because you haven't done it by

b. c. Forbes.
Edward l.. DohenE the oil king, who
was recently reported to have refused an
offer of SIZE, 600 for his personal hold

was utterly unknown at so, but on his
10th birthday hadn't save dollar for
each year of his age!
His career Is one of the most Aladdin
like romances of modern times
It was until he was long past 80 that
he was walking along street in Los
Angeles one day when he met a wagon
loaded with a dirty, greasy substance.
He asked the nego driver where he got
the material, and was tod that it came
from near by spot. Doheny, though he
had never had anything to do with oil,
was convinced, on making an examina-
ton of the spot. that If he dug down far
enough he would find oil.
And, after superhuman manual labor,
he did. That was hts start toward mill
lionairedom. The journey took him very
few years.

Lloyd GEORGE and Wilson.

From the Springfield Republican.
The amount of mischief Lloyd George
has been responsible for since the arm
tsdce, in connection with the peace
settlement. is beyond estimate. The
London Spectator, one of his coalition
supporters now admits that "the cleo
tors were mislead when they were en-
couraged to believe that the cost of the
war could be recovered from Germany"
It was Lloyd George who, false to his
own IA points" speech delivered Just
before the similar speech to congress by
President Wilson, thus 'tmisled" the
British voters by his famous khaki cleo
ton appeals" That was the election
which Prof Gilbert Murray described as
nothing but "profiteering in war emo
tions. Lloyd George prodteered wan
tonly. outrageously. and for the sake Of
remaining in office raised hopes Of
va. indemnity which we're dashed later
on. although his efforts at Paris to make
good his election pledges forced some
Of the worst Of the repazs*e..sas clauses
into the treaty. Wilson, facing An cleo
ton late in 1915 did not repudiate his ''14
points" address and 'prodteer in war
emotions" He asked for q majority in
order to carry his promises into effect
ut Paris. The cynical, contrasting VII
sons experience with Lloyd Georges,
may say that success follows the politi-
clan who betrays his pledges twice over.
while failure trails the politician who
tries to keep faith even once.

When the Year Begins.
From London Tit Bits.

From London Tit Bits.
The ancient Egyptians years, from
which ours is derived, had perfectly
natural beginning. 1t always commenced
on the day when Sirius and the sun rose
together. The temples of Egypt were
really observatories, built to face this or
that star as it rose. They were more or
less elaborate. but all had as their fun
damental plant a long, narrow passage
down which the stars rays came and
a dark chamber at the far end where
tue priest made the observation and
where the image was kept. The Egyp-
tians discovered that the year had an
extra quarter of day in it. They did
it by noting that on some years Sirius
and the sun rose almost together, while
on others there was an appreciable diff
ference in time, and that these changes
repeated themselves every five years.
They found the length of the year to
=siitsiiii minutes OF its true value,
which was a remarkable thing to do
with the primitive appliances they had
at hand.

Got Them Guessing.

From the Dearborn Independent.
Political parties have been small close
corporations OF politicians who have
tried to 'sell' themselves to the public
at election time. They were reasonably
sure that IL one corporation did not get
the votes, the other would. But they are
not SO certain now. The people are no
longer willing to have their voting limits
fixed by any national committee" They
are more interested in problems than In
parties. and in cures than in candidates.
Professional politics is out Of favor. The
whole field has broadened to include In
ternationalism. Humanity Is one. and
no section can continuously flourish at
another sections expense.
