Many believe we should take
the archaic words out Of tho
Bible; that they don't apply to
this age. That is what modern
translators have done.
They have changed many
things in the Bible. This has
led many people to want more
changes. Shall we keep the old
Bible? Are we sacrilegious
when we try to "revise" the
Holy Book?
Can we keep the Ten COM

AUBURN, Calf, December 23-If
the self-claimed wives of Homer Mel
vim Vorhies, Apollo-like religious lee
turer, choir singer and lightning love-
maker, continue to pile up at the
present rate, the combined matrimo-
NAL records of Bluebeard, the late
Nat Goodwin and the still living Kid
Mccoy and Willard Mack must
shortly go by the boards.
Vorhies. who qualified as the fast
est matrimonial worker California
has ever met up with by marrying two
pretty members of the same church
here, singing in the village choir on
numerous occasions with one on each
side of him and acting a dual role as
husband for three months without
getting his signals crossed, is rapidly
amassing for himself record as
Americas "marriedest man."
If records in the district attorneys s
and county recorders offices here are
reliable, Vorhies has married no less
than IS women in the last six years.
Included in his fields of matrimonial
conquests are Pennsylvania, Ohio.
Michigan, Georgia. Kansas, Colorado,
Utah and California. Two purported
foreign wives also have been heard
from. one in Windsor, Ontario, and
one in Mexico.
Wanted in California.
Just now Norhies is a fugitive from
Justice, with two California bigamy
warrants hanging over his head as a
result of two letters which he wrote
his two wives here getting into the
wrong envelopes. Authorities suspect
that the mixing up" of letters and
the consequent denouement may pos
sibly have been Intentional He has
not been heard from since they were
written, and the dual husbandly role
was becoming a difficult burden to
carry.
The wives Norhies may have
amassed in other States range all the
way from a widow with four children
in Lima, Ohio, to a 44-year-old
spinster in kersey, Colo. In Ann
Arbor, Mich, he is credited with
marrying a choir singer, and then
hurrying to Jackson, a dozen miles
away, and marrying another prom
inent church singer within a month.
FIees His Difficulties. :
Three months afterward, as was
the case here, Vorhies found his dual
husbandly role getting difficult and
disappeared. In Windsor. Canada, he
is credited with wedding d clergy
mans daughter, and in Juarez.

MADRID, December ga dead
man today won a goodly portion OF
the annual Christmas lottery prizes.
He was Senior Quintana. and he died
last Friday, leaving behind in his
effects two lottery tickets. When the
lucky numbers were posted yester-
day it was found that one ticket
called for a twentieth part of the
first prize and that the other had
won the tenth prize. Altogether the
two tickets brought to Quintana's s
family nearly 100000 pesetas, or
about $4,000.
Just before he died Quintana's 8
house was robbed. There was only
sufficient money left behind to bury
him, and his widow and children were
facing a cold and hungry Christmas.
Now they will have. more wealth
than they ever had dreamed of.
Another lucky winner was MelQui-

leader, who has been out of job
since the military directorate took
over the reins of government. His
prize was 100000 pesetez.
