Chicago, said last night was done be-
cause evidence is, overwhelmingly
against 1t being part of the gospel of
st. John.
Prof. Goodspeed said he did, not
doubt the truth of the old story which
deals with the woman taken in adul-
terry, arraigned by her accusers and
pardoned by Jesus. but declared that
modern scholarship Is a unit in de-
claring It not part Of st. John.
He declared It did not appear IN any
of the old and best Greek manuscripts
such as the Vatican and Sinaitic man
uscripts Of the fourth century, the
Royal and Efran manuscripts, of
Paris, the Purple manuscript OF Pat
mos or the Freer manuscript at Wash

The Beza manuscript at Cambridge,
England. dating back to the sixth CEN

script In which 1t appears, Prof. Good
speed said. 1t is most commonly found
in the medieval manuscripts between

Hello" Means ooh
Go Chase a
Wolf

Telephone company executives in
Ohio have been seeking for a long
time to have subscribers stop using
the word "hello' in responding to
telephone calls. For reasons Of
courtesy; time saving and efficiency,
they have been striving to have the
recipient of telephone calls merely
announce his or her name or firm
and then listen to the caller.
Possibly they will receive greater
cooperation from subscribers by rea
son of the fact that etymologists
have just announced that "lrelio'
really means, "Oh, go chase a
wolf"
According to these etymologists,
the derivation of the word "hello''
is from the cry eau loup" (to the
wolff, used by French and French
speaking Norman English hunters
when they sighted Il wolf.
The French pronounced it ga
loo. y The English, using the as
pirate "h,' - made it cha loo.' The
cry has been used by hunted up to
date when fox is sighted, and by
Americans, generally, as a personal
