In order 10 aid the hungry people Of
Vienna a land-colonizatiOn plan has
been devised by a practical man. Peter

to have a garden Of at least 500 square
meters, while larger farm holdings also
form part Of the plan, for the execu-

The Apple of Eden.

From time immemorial the apple
has been blamed for being the cause
Of mans downfall in the garden OF
Eden. We have even gone so far as
to call our Adams apple by that name
in memory Of the incident.
As a matter "f fact. the word apple
does not appear in that part Of Gene
sis treating with the Garden Of Eden,
the fruit Of the tree" being the words
always used. The fallacy arose from
the fact that the word apple has In
many languages the general meaning
Of fruit, and that before an English
translation of the Bible was permitted
the story was incorrectly spread by
ignorant churchmen. and thus TOOK
root too deeply to be eradlcated.
