THESE JUDGES
HAVE MUCH
TO LEARN

r ONDON.-One has to know
considerable law to become
a judge in England, but APP
parently there are a lot Of other
things known to most folks that
English judges do not have to
know.
The bland query that recently
came from a Tottenham magis-
trate who wanted to know "Who is
Mary Pickford?" is given the palm
by those who delight in cherishing
examples of judicial Ignorance"
Right alongside 1t is recorded the
instance. when Sir r. Wallace,
*. c., asked What 10 the ace OF
spades?" and caused the card to be
brought into court.
Judge Wills, recently deceased,
is believed, however, to have held
something of record for unfa-
miliarity with ordinary human
experiences. The learned judge

Expurgated Bible
Urged by Dean

r ONDON-An expurgated edi-
ton of the Bible, with the
~ omission of certain passages
which he declares are repugnant
to modern feeling, is advocated by
the Dean of Durham, one of the
most prominent officials OF the
Church Of England.
He declares that parts of the
Bible are of little value today,
and has expounded his views be-
fore the British and Foreign Bible
Society. His remarks have Gre
atcd tremendous discussion
among church societies, and
there is much criticism Of the
worthy dean.
The great majority Of his oppo-
nents declare that the Bible is
the greatest classic in the English
language and that it would be
sacrilege to touch a single verse.

 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for AWycth's Sage ard Sulphur Compound" You will get large bot tie of this oid-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, al very little cost Everybody uses this preparation now. because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it SO naturally and even Iy. You dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two. your hair becomes beautifully dask. thick and glossy and you look years younger.
