When we get to the place
where we walk q mile for our
favOrite brand and are willing to
take chance with wooden
whiskey we are apt to forget all
the sweet dreams Of childhood
and how we usta wait on Christ.

We waited five minutes to give
the old boy a chance TO climb
back up the chimney before We
burst in on the Christmas tree
and all its trimmings!

can still get of childish disap-
pOintment is when we hang
around day after day waiting for
the mail man to bring us some
good news and every post he
walks by and don't bring the mis-
sive we are waiting fOr-miss-ive

We still have faith and get all
set waiting for the next delivery
and it's the same thing over and
over, but we're grown up and we
pull ourselves together and say
to hi with so and so, or such
and such, and forget it.

But kids amt built like that

and they are waiting for Santa

A little while later / saw the

There was room at the curb for
several machines, and I told the
man on the front seat to pull in.
Then I noticed the engine was
running. The man told me he
couldn't drive, and would have to
wait until the driver came back.
When he returned I asked him
for his permit. He offered to
run me up to his house in u

told him he could wait until morn

Hidden Signs.

One thing that stands up like a
sore thumb is that Washington's
car.stop signs are not conspicuous
enough. In the daytime they are
generally obscured by parked cars
or trees, so you don't know they
are there untIi you are even with
them, and at night they are al.
ways in the shadow of something,
so you never know they are car
stops until you have run fifteen
feet past them.
Pitfalls of q Great City.
Say you are trailing along be-
hind q street car in strange
part Of town. Some dope rings
the bell about twenty-five feet
this side Of the stop point. The
motorman slams on the brakes,
and you notice that he is slowing
up. But he has slowed up half q
dozen times before-Once for q
jaywalker, another time for a
boob coming out Of a cross street
at twenty miles an hour, and sew
eral other times out of pure
cussedness, as far as you know,
so you don't take his slowing up
seriously. You don't know any
thing about the forthcoming car
stop, or about the hophead that
rang the bell.
Sadder, But NOwise Wiser.

WILL REVAMP OLD TESTAMENT AGAIN
University Of Chicago Ex- poets To Take Up Where
 Goodspeed Left Off

CHICAGO. Dec. 1s.-Biblical ex- perts at the University of Chicago are about to take up the revamping of the Christian Bible where Dr. Ed gar J. Goodspeed left off.
 A committee of then. is undertak- Ing to write new" Old Testament into the modern American vernacular, which will be a companion book to Dr. Goodspeed's celebrated transla- tion of the New Testament.
 Members of the committee, which is headed by Dr. J. M. F. Smith, pro lessor of Old Testament literature and editor of the American Journal of point out that their task will be far harder than that of Goodspeed, hence the need of more than one man in the attempt. The Creek of the New Testament Is comparatively modern and does not present anything like the archaic Hebrew of the Old.
 "There are not the manuscripts available to the scholar who would study the sources of the Old Testa- ment." Dr. Smith explains. "The texts of the original manuscripts available have suffered a great deal from time. Translation in many cases is a matter of interpretation. committee will be much better than an individual to supply what may be missing.
 O O O
 Will Lack Uniformity.
 "The translation naturally will lack uniformity of style when pro- duced under such circumstances. But the 2s books of the Old Testament were written by 2S different men, and are entirely distinct from one another in matter, form and style, Nothing would be gained by retrans- lating them into a uniform style. '"The Old Testament is truly a liter ary work; much of it is pure poetry, and it is something of task to trans late poetry from one language into another and retain poetic values. It 1 is a task even greater to translate poetry into the phrases of every day

PANAMA BUBBLE
 BURSTS IN COURT
Indictments Ground Out Against Fugitive Head Of
 Tropic Concern

CHICAGO, Dec. 1s.-The rumble of court machinery grinding out tndict- ments and warrants against Leo Koretz, fugitive head of the Bayano River Trust company of Panama, in which his relatives and wealthy friends invested more than s5,00e,000, marked the investigation of Koretz affairs today.
 From the county grand jury room came an indictment charging opera tion of a confidence game on which bonds of S25,000 were fixed. John Sbarbaro, assistant states attorney, declared that additional true bills will be voted within 8 short time. A warrant charging Koretz with misuse of the mails was issued by a United States commissioner after the government had charged that Koretz sent out letters declaring his fictitious concern would provide high returns" It was said that this warrant will mark the beginning of 8 nationwide hunt for the fugitive by federal au- thorities.
 A stock of liquor seized at Koretz' offices also came in for some con sideration today on the part of the federal authorities who began seiz- ure proceedings and an investigation of Koretz' activities in acquiring the liquor after 1t was reported by Al Bronson" a name which koretz was reported to have assumed, was at one time wanted for violation of the pro- hibition laws.
 They Are Disiliusioned.
 The Panama committee" the sextette of business men, who few weeks ago resigned responsible posi- tions to hurry away to Panama to become high salaried officials of the Bayano company. and to see for them selves the huge wealth of the hold ings so glowingly described. came home today. sad, silent and disil- lusioned.
 There was little ostentation as the downcast group stepped from the Twentieth Century limited to be met by sympathic relatives, reporters and officials from the states attorneys offices. all anxious for the disap- pointing details.
 Some of the men will be called be- fore the grand jury. 1t was stated, after their arrival. They handed a typewriter report to the states at- torney's office, declaring that the vast schemes of Koretz were found to be fraudulent in every single de- tail. The holdings. which he repre- sented himself as having, are oc- cupied by Indians who will not even allow white man to set foot on the lands, they declared.
