CHAUTAUQUA BEGINS

Tomorrow, Tuesday, llth inst,
begins another course OF the
Swarthmorc Chautauqua in Alex
andria. The program, as appear
ing in the Gazette, is perhaps more
interesting than any OF its pre-
decessors. Each number OF the
daily exercises may be said to be
d headliuer, and the distinguished
array OF talent presented evidenc-
es 4 desire to give Alexandria only

of our annual Chautauqua deserve
the best thanks OF Our people for
bringing these most excellent en-
tertainmeutS to our very doors.

HOW TO MAKE A FLY TRAP

In places where there Ia no con-
;hryGd effort 70 control the breeding
Of Gies aud where adequate screening

resort to fly traps and pOisons to GET
rid of these insects. A very effective
hy trap can be constructed ut home by
any boy on mali, and while not rs Of
iective as screens, will serve % destroy
large numbers of flies.
Perhaps the simplest and most a.
feclivs fiytrap is the one whose COR
struction is described in Farmers Bull
Ietin 734, issued by the Department of
Agriculture. This is the conical hoop
trap, for which the material, II bought
row at retail prices, costs about sixty
five cents. The necessary material
consists of four new or secondhand
wooden barrel hoops, one barrel head,
four laths, ten feet of wooden strips
20 u inches wide by Il inch thick, 81
iineal inches of u Ut Is mesh galva-
Gized screening "a inches wide for the
sides of the trap, d inches of screen

and two turn buttons which may be

In constructing the trap, two Of the
barrel hoops are bent into circle Ia
inches in diameter on the inside, and
nailed together, the ends being
trimmed to give close At. These

other two, prepared in a similar way,
form the top. the top Of the trap is
made of an ordinary barrel head with
the bevel edge sawed off sufficiently TO

THE BEGINNING OF ENGRAV
ING

Painting was not the only art
invented during the latter part OF
the Stone Age. Sculpture and en-
craving were also begun at about
the same time.
What is engraving? 1t is cutting
a figure or design into some sur
face. If you cut your initials into a
piece of wood, you are engraving
in rude way.
Possibly it was Just that idea
which led to the first engrayings. A
man may have said.
III cut a marx that means NE"
With his stone knife he SLOWLY
tut into the wall Of his cave. Other
men did the sane tldng. Of course
they d.dl't put lown initials. Such
things were On! rcwn. Instead they
may have cut the images Of ami
mails.
Imagin the men esclaiming:
mine will be horse.'
'I'll be 4 foX,'
"The bear is good enough for
mel"
If this was really the idea behind
the first engravings they might be
called names" for they meant the
person who made them.
Whether or not such was the case,
hundreds of engravings have been
found on the walls of caves. Some
of these were excellent, others were
very crude.
The bear picture printed today is
a copy Of fairly good engraving
on the wall of cave near Les Ely
zieS, France. In this cave are more
than hundred other engravinES,
includes images Of the bison, horse,
wolf, reindeer and mammoth.
Engravings of birds are found
only here and there. An engraying

more northern universities where II
is necessary to provide Indoor
field" for winter athletic practice.
The running track is u laps to the
mile, 10 feet in width. There is q
swimming pool 80 by 81 feet, locker
accommodations ioitially for 1905
men, quarters for home and visiting
teams, as we'll as a lecture room
boxing, fencing and wrestling
rooms, and many others.
The north or public entrance
front is adorned with an ionic por-
tico of 6 columns in the typical
Jeffersonial style, while the long IA
cade toward the university has tall
Corinthian columns, like those OF
the rotunda, framing arches like
those of the baths of Diolectian.
Designs were prepared by Fiske
Kimball, head of the school of arch
itecture at the university, with the
advice of an alumni architectural
commission including also Join Ke-
van PEBBLES, R. f. Lee Taylor
Walter D. Blair and William A
Lambeth.
The funds for the building were
subscribed during the recent en-
dowment campaign. President AL
derman has personally devoted 500
600 to the building. Students sub.
scriptions totalled $4,000, the
balance being from general alumni
contributions.

Why Do They Do It7

What makes people fill one
theatre night after night for 443
nights for one play and stay away
from another theatre with another
play, as though it were a plague
spot?
One play is doubtless as widely
advertised as the other and the
casts Of both are probably equal in
ability. And yet the crowd goes
to one and stays away from the
other.
Of course the answer is plain.
One has merit; the other has not.
The play which is to be given on
the Chautauqua program is one Of
the few good ones, the few which
have had exceptionally long runs
in New York and Chicago, this
proving without a doubt that they
have the goods"
Turn to the Right" ran 443
nights in New York and 319
nights in Chicago. 1t is called "the
comedy that will live forever" 1t
has the heart interest of the ever
compelling story of mother-love. 1t
is clean. People who are familiar
with the Chautauqua type of play
agree that this is a fine example
of the type.
A special single admission price
of $l.OO is announced for the at
traction, but season ticketholders
will escape this extra tax. This
looks like an opportunity for lovers

Bible Classes Bid
Farewell to Workers

The Baraca and Philathea Bible
Classes of the First Baptist Church
assembled in joint session yester-
day morning to honor Dr. and Mrs.
f. II. Lewis, who are leaving this
city for Gordonsville, Va.
DR.. and Mrs. Lewis were present
ed with a handsome reading lamp
by the classes as a token of love
and gratitude. For four years
Mrs. Lewis has been prominently
identified with the Philathea Class
and for a large part Of that time
has been its teacher. DR.. Lewis,
for the same time, has been one of
the most faithful workers in the
Baraca Class. Miss Lillian Amos,
n. L. Williamson, and the pastor,
the Rev. DR.. f. B. Jackson, in
short addresses, made known the
reluctance with which the two clas-
ses gave up these devoted workers.
The lamp was presented by the
pastor, and DR.. Lewis thanked the
two clases for the gift and for the
occasion on behalf of himself and
Mrs. Lewis, who was unable to be
present on account of illness.

SPOONER WAR

The Washington newspapers
are greatly exercised over what
they call the "Spooner War -

a war on the parking OF spoon
ers" in cars along the roads and
highways OF the District OF Co
lumbia. more especially along the
secluded drive ways OF the parks
The term and the words are theirs
hot ours
But we had a recent editorial
bearing on our own troubles Ill
this direction. We are glad to
say that Mayor Duncan and his
vigilant police commissioners
have already been active in the
matter, and our energetic officers
have got the thing practically
checked in this jurisdiction.
We propose to make another m
vestigation on the Arlington
County roads and those on United
States government territory in
the near future, and will then pro-
pose measures to be taken by the
citizens OF Alexandria, in case con-
ditionS are not improved.
Those in authority say that
there are no laws now eNtant that
adequately cover the situation. In
which event laws must be enacted
to provide the remedy, If we
mistake not, this city has a repre-
sentative i'll the House OF Dele
gates. We are also informed that
he is a lawyer. Ii it becomes
necessary we shall call on him to
draft a law that can be presented
to the next legislature and put into
effect. There is an old legal max
i'm that says where there is a
right there is a remedy. The
travelling public between Camp
Humphreys and the capital GER
tainly have a right to be protected
from the gross and glaring spec
tacles OF debauchery and immor-
ality now openly displayed on the
highways between the two places
and they will assuredly insist
ON that protection.

In Road Building
The State of Illinois completed the
equivalent Of 1872 miles of concrete
roads during 1921 at a cost of S3l,-
100 mile.
In Illinois each mile of road requires
1906 barrels of Portland cement and
the average cost, including freight
which is large item, was $500 per
mile, or less than one-fourth of the
entire cost. A difference Of ten cents
a barrel in the cost OF cement for
this work would result in a differ
cnce of LOG per cent. in the total
average cost per mile.
Even though cement were sold at
cost. the increased mileage of roads
resulting thcrefrom would be prac-
tically negligible since labor, trans
portation and the cost of other ma
terials influence total s1st to so much
greater extent thar Cement.

COMMUNICATIONS
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Your vigorous editorial on Wey-
mouths Scholarly version Of the New
Testament is an interesting opinion
on a timely topic. The views there
in expressed are justified by the view
that this is an attempt to supersede
the King James Version 50 dear to
our hearts. As you note, however, the
author expressly diselaims any such
purpose; and his volume, like many
others-"The PolychrOme Bible, The
Twentieth Century New Testament ,
The American Bible, Tor example
should be read as "a running COM
mentary" on the old version and not
as substitute. Even the revised YER
sion of 1SS1-S5, which IN its infancy
was SO violently attacked that Bishop
Potter said it might well be called

Stone Age engravers did poor
work when they tried to show the
human face or figure. Perhaps they
thought it wasn't worth while to
take pains about such a common
thing as man or woman.

graved on the walls Of the cave Oh

IL of residence building is brought
out by the fact that difference Of
ten cents in barrel of cement makes
a difference of about SIS for each
$4,000 of expenditure. This is due
to the cheapneSs of cement in com
parison with the cost Of other ma
terlals and labor.
In the average suburban or country
dwelling, the cost of cement varies
from y to 2 per cent. of the cost
Of the building.
In the typical city apartment build

that cement prices, high or low, are

regarded more as help towards I'M
Outstanding the Bible than as the BIZ
bic itself. And yet the American
edition of this work, known as "The
American Revised Version" OF 1901 is
of priceless value to the student. For
it must not be forgotten that owing to
the immense advance In scholarship
since 1911, and the many discoveries
of old manuscripts and inscriptions in
recent years, we have a Greek text
of the New Testament which is in i'm
portant particulars more correct and
accurate than that which the earlier
translators used. This improved
Greek text Weymouth has translated
for scholars, not for popular use. Be-
cause the Bible has exerted and still
yields such pervasive influence on
our civilization. our literature, our
law. our morals, our religion, we may
saw of the different versions ''the best
is none too good for u.s.; and the best
will only be evolved by the diligent
conscientious and reverent efforts
of gifted scholars in every genera
ton. A little reflection will make us
aware that We seldom hear sermon
in which the preacher does not tell
in his own way, often very informal
and colloquial way, some familiar BIZ
bic sto.Y, which perhaps, he has al
ready read from the Bible itself be-
fore his sermon. We seldom attend a
Bible class in which the teacher does
not spend some time in paragraphing
the passage and rescuing it from the
uninspired verse divisions which often
obscure the connection Of thought.
And these passages which seem dis
tinctly inferior in rendering in a mod
ern version, do us at least this SER
vice: They show us how fine the pas
sage is and how dear TO our hearts, in
Is old familiar dress.
You have done US, Mr.. Editor, a
good service by calling attention to
this subject, and no doubt as many of
your readers will agree with you as
will agree with me. Nevertheless, not
a few preachers and teachers now
adays would not think of preparing
discourse without first referring to
Weymouth's rendering of the text, so
as to be sure of its exact meaning.
If what l have said does not please
some readers, will say to them in the
words Of Weymouth's translation OF
the Lords Prayer, Forgive US our
shortcomings, as we also have for
given those who nave failed in their
duty towards US"
