EXPERTS n SEEK MANUSCRIPT IF BIBLICAL HISTORY
Money For Expeditions Into Egypt Will Be Provided By Newly Organized
 Foundation

BROOKLINE, Mass, Feb. 16.-Ex- rlorations in Egypt and Palestine in search of long lost manuscripts that may have important bearings on the history of the Hebrew religion are to be financed wholly or in part by a trust fund established by Mrs. Abby Beecher Longyear of this town.
 Already one expedition, largely supported by the Zion Research Foundation, as the endowment has been named, is seeking original man uscripts in the Nitrian desert of Egypt and at the site of the ancient monastary on Mt. Sinai. Valuable papyrus has been secured through Prof. Francis Kelsey of the Univer- aity of Michigan, acting for the foundation. The American School of Archaeology in. Jerusalem also is btnefieisry of the Longyear trust.
 The study of the beginnings of re- ligion. especially the Hebrew belief and it's development has been pursued for many years by Mrs. Longyear and the subject engrossed the attention of her husband, John Munro Long, year, for several years before his death.
 Both came to believe that the keys to some of thee apparent mysteries oe the past concerning the Hebrews were to be found in Egypt and its ancient monuments as well as in the land beyond the Red sea, the Jordan the Tigris and the Caucasus.
 Trustees Selected
 Three of the five trustees of the foundation have been selected. They are Mrs. John M. Longyear, Frederick ne k A ment issued by the trustees says;
 .The primary purpose of this trust foundation, which already has beer provided with large resources, IS to facilitate and advance research into the origin of the Hebrew religion and to promote more general study oi that subject and it's application tf human needs The means which arc being adopted for carrying out the general purposes of the trust include the collection of source books, trans lated manuscripts and other material bearing upon the origin and develop ment of religious thought based upon the Bible.
 One of the objects of this founda- ton is to have important source books in foreign languages, bearing on the subject of the Holy Scriptures translated into English, and also te assist in the translation into English of whatever is available of the writings of the early Christian Fa thers.
 About two years ago an ar rsngement was made with Sir Ernest Wallis Budge. the distinguished ali. rector of the division of Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities of the Brit ish museum, whose sco-operation ano advice has been of the greatest value, to assist those representing the foundation In America in the creation and establishment of library oi what may be described as original . Scriptural sources"

BRITISH CAPITAL BANKS
 OVERFLOW WITH SILVER

LONDON, Feb. 16.-London banks are overflowing with silver, so much so that they are embarrassed for fla cilities to handle the huge amounts which have been deposited with them.

It was needed during the war. hut today the banks are at their wits end as to what to do with it. The vaults of many banks are filled, and it has been whispered that the dungeons of the Tower of London have been re- quisitioned to store the surplus metal

In SEED COMPANY

r. K. Bennett, who. has just resign
ed from the University OF Idaho, has
purchased the interest of M. e.

Seed company, and will have charge
of the field and garden seed depart
ment of that firm.
For the past five years Mr.. Bon
nett has been head of the department
of agronomy at the university and
has carried on extensive investiga-
tions with field crops. He has pub
lished bulletins on various phases OF
forage Investigations and his work
with sweet clover has been a means
of the introduction of more livestock
and diversified farming throughout
the state: Mr.. Bonnett is a graduate
of the. kansas State Agricultural
College and has taken an advanced
degree at the University. of Wiscon-
sin. Among other duties connected
with his university work, he has
judged the crop, exhibits at the idaho
State Seed Show, the Montana State

Bonnett's experience and standing
throughout the country to take
charge of this important. department.
F. L. .Kennard, who has had charge
of this department for the past four
years, will devote all of his time to
the supervision of the seed crops

large acreage of seed beans, corn,
and garden seeds. These seeds are
of high quality, because of the ideal
growing conditions in this section of
the northwest
While the firm has specialized in
seed production, it has also an extern

supplies and feeds.

feels that the present organization
