EDEN WAS "A PARK
AND ARK A BARGE
THAT IS MODERN VERSION OF
TESTAMENT WHICH HAS
JUST BEEN RELEASED.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Publication
of translation of the old testament
into modern English, in which the
garden of Eden is called a park,
Noah's ark is termed barge and the
city of David is named Davidsburg,
has been announced.
1t is the work of Dr. James Mofatt,
eminent Scotch theologian and Greek
and Hebrew scholar, who two years
ago translated the new testament in
to modern English. Announcement of
the books publication in this country
has been made by firm of prominent
publishers (the George S. Doran COM
pany). 1t was released December l.
DIR. Moffatt, who is professor of
church history in the United Free
church college, Glasgow explains in
his preface that it is his belief that the
Bible cannot be properly understood
by the present generation unless it
appears to them in the language of
their everyday life, just as it was read
by the generation for whom it was
written. 1t is his belief, he explains,
that the Bible should be translated
afresh for each succeeding generation
The book is declared to be the first
translation of the old testament since
the publication of the King James
Bible in l6l1.
Work of Scotchman.
The book, entitled, "The Old Tesla
ment, New Translation" is the re-
suit of eight years unaided labor on
the part of the Scotch theologian, who
declares that it is in no sense a re-
vision of any previous English trans
laton, but is a translation of the an
cient Hebrew text. Through the use
of modern English and the substitu-
ton of terms and geographical de-
scriptions familiar to the present gen
Grafton, for those used in other trans
lations of the old testament, DIR. Moi
fatt has drawn an entirely new pct-
ure in many passages where the
meaning was familiarity obscured by
obsolete phraseology.
DIR. Moffatts story of the creation
follows:
Then God, the eternal, nodded
man from the dust of the ground
breathing into his nostrils the breath
of life; this was how man became a
living being.
I'm the land OF Eden, in the far
east, God, the eternal, then planted a
park, where he put the man whom he
had nodded.
and from the ground God, the
eternal, made all sorts of trees to grow
that were delightful to see and good
to eat, with the tree of life and the
tree that yields knowledge Of good
and evil in the center Of the park.
From Eden a river flowed to water
the park, which on leaving the park
branched into four streams"
Story of Flood
He interprets the story Of the flood
as follows;
so God said to Noah:
Il have resolved to put an end to
every human being, for they have fill
ed the earth with insoence and out
rage l will destroy them and the
earth together
Build barge of cypress wood,
build cabins inside the barge, and
cover it with pitch inside and out.
"'This is how you are to build it:
THE barge is to be $50 feet long,
rs feet broad and As feet high.
"'You must put windows in the
barge Is inches from the roof and
make door in the side Of the barge;
also put three decks in it.

STUDIES
SHOULD GO, SAYS
BOSTON EDUCATOR.
N. E. A. Told to Use
Social Utility" Rule

Especial to The DAILY WoRKER)
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 4.-The
criterion Of social utility for studies
was urged by Guy M. Wilson of the
Boston university school of educa-
ton at the second session Of the Ma
tional Education Associations con-
vention here.
Mr.. Wilson was reporting on revi-
sion of the arithmetic curriculum and
asked that processes definitely prov
en- to be useless" be eliminated from
school courses. The principle of a
social utility criterion" was not en-
larged upon and Of course, did not
suggest that such standard under
capitalism might be used to excuse
the spread Of vocational education
and the teaching of crafts to young
sters who will then enter blind paths
of industry.
Movie Fails.
The matter Of visual education is
being elaborated before the delegate
principals, superintendent, and 9TH
er school officials in an effort to en-
courage the use of slides and moving
pictures in educational work. The
big motion picture producers have not
yet entered the educational field be-
cause the present game Of catering to
the slushy sentimentality Of the
American public has been too profit
able to make them interested in any
more intelligent work. What little
work has been done to provide
schools with films has been done by
organizations interested in putting
over big business or war propaganda.
Patriotism Plentiful.
The school officials will spend a
patriotic fourth of July, of course,
with an address by the little man OF
the big white house in the morning,
and a jaunt to Monticello to visit the
home of Thomas Jefferson later in
the day. This convention Of the associa.
ton is particularly flagwaving one
because of its presence in Washing.

T.U.E.L. LEADER FLAYS PERLSTEIN

ing a major, yes, criminal mistake.
1t was a fake strike called by the
Sigman-Perlstein machine to cover up
their misdoings, calculated purposely
to destroy the local organization, be-
cause they could not control it.
Perlstein came to Chicago in May
1928. When he came here there was
well-functioning Joint Board which
was just beginning an organization
drive. He came here to take charge
Of the drive. The majority of the
Joint Board then were militants,
either members of the Workers Par
ty, the Trade Union Educational
League, or close sympathizers. Perl
stein admitted publicly time and time
again that they were the real driving
force in the organization.
Yet in July, 1928, when he had been
in town less than two months, he
started, not drive to organize the
unorganized, but his expulsion policy
which has almost wrecked the union
nationally, and has completely de-
moralized it locally. On August 7th
1912, the well-functioning Joint Board
was shot to pieces by the action OF
Perlstein in expelling without trial
the recording and financial secre-
taries, and a little later nine other

10y The Federated Press)

OTTAWA, Can, July 4.-The Can
adian postal strikers in Toronto and
Winsor, the two cities where the tie
up was most complete, have gone
back to work defeated but there are
still some 600 out in Montreal. In
Windsor where all the employees
stood together, all go back to their
old places. In Toronto they have to
run TIE chance of some of the strike
breakers being given seniority over
them, and the same will be true in
Montreal.
The chief lesson of the postal strike
has been the need Of careful organ
ization and OF publicity. The work
ers did not have their plans laid to
act as unit. This split their fore
es and weakened the effect of the
strike fatally. They failed to let the
public know in advance of the is
sues. Very few knew that the postal
strikers were fighting for a decent
standard of living or that they were
being paid less than 1890 a year,

MARKET NEWS
RAINS CHECK
WHEATPRICES
Some Parts of the Canadian
Northwest Are Benefited

Chicago, July 1S.-Drenching
rains in parts of the Canadian
Northwest brought about sharp
downturn in wheat prices today as
soon as the market opened. Sell
ing was based largely on the ppin-
ion that wheat and oats which had
feen planted late would receive
benefit even though much of the
crop was past aid. Setbacks in Liv-
erpool quotations also were a de-
pressing factor. Chicago opening
prices, which ranged from 7-8 to 4
34-c lower, September $1.24 1-2 to
1926 3-4 and December SIPS to
$1.30, were followed by rally of
as much as 2 Sac in some cases,
and then by fresh declines.
Heavy selling kept the market
weak during most of the day. De-
mand appeared to have been filled
up at least for the time being. The
close was unsettled, cents to 43s
cents net lower. September $1.24bs
to $l.24B and December $1.27k to
$1.27A.

R0BBER SHOOTS
FARGO MAN
Larry Lauther Wounded in
Home of a Friend

Fargo, July 18-Larry Lauther is
in st. Luke's hospital with a bullet
in his left shoulder as result
of an encounter with an unknown
man caught in the act of robbing the
E. f. Moore home, 1925 Eight st..
S., at an early hour this morning.
The burglar escaped but Lauther
believes he was also wounded in the
exchange of shots.
Lauther, who is employed at the
Merchants National bank, had been
requested by Mr.. Moore to stay at
the house last night while the
Moore family was at the lake.
AS he entered the house at mid
night he noticed that the back door
was unlocked and Immediately was
on the alert Passing through the
kitchen he had stepped into the
front hall when he saw man COM
ing towards him in the dark. He
Immediately fired, according to his
story, and the burglar returned the
fire, hitting him in the shoulder as
he passed him attempting to es-
cape by the way Lauther had en-
tered Lauther fired again as the
burglar fled.

New York, July 18.-Well, the
Democratic convention, as might
have been expected when Tex Richard
arranged to have it held in Madi-
son Square Garden, was a brock
out.
1t broke all records for number of
sessions, number of ballots, amount
of money spent by delegates, for
high hopes wrecked and animositles
engendered.
The total expended in dollars and
cents to stage the Democratic con-
test, exclusive of delegates ex-
penses, according to the New York
Convention Committee, was some
what in excess Of 100000.
This committee had arranged its
expenditures on the basis of a con-
vention not exceeding two weeks in
duration. When the deadlock car
ried the session over into the third
week, the local committee passed
the further financing of the show
over to the Democratic National
Committee.
AS this committee had balance
of only about 100000, it immediate
ly began to prune expenses and to
put on pressure to bring about a
nomination.
Most of the ushers were dis
charged, the lighting diminished and
corners cut generally in an effort to
save pennies for the later expenses
of the campaign. Enough was saved
out of cash in hand to pay for the
auditing of the convention bills and
to move Democratic headquarters
back to Washington.
To provide cash for the campaign
ahead, however, the Victory Clubs
will have to be called on for con-
tributions. No IS check will be re-
jected!
The selection of Davis to oppose
Coolidge puts the campaign on an
intellectual level seldom reached in
American politics. That is, so far

as the personal qualities of the two
men at the top of their respective
tickets go.
Neither is of what is generally
known as the politician type.
Although both are lawyers, Cool
idge has spent more time holding
office than Davis and Davis more
time practicing law than Coolidge.
AS a lawyer, Davis carries interna-
tional as we'll as national recogni-
ton, having been made, during his
term as, ambassador to the Court of
st. James, an honorary bencher of
the Middle Temple!
Much has been said recently about
Davis employment as counsel for
Wall street interests, including j. +.
Morgan and Co. This inevitably will
be made one of the points of OPP
position during the campaign.
AS balance to this, emphasis is
PLACED by Davis hackers on the fact
that he once was attorney, without
fee or retainer, for Eugene Debs and
Mother" Jones.
This was in the days when Davis,
a young lawyer without clients, had
just hung out his single at Clarks-
burg, W. Va.
Debs and mother" Jones came to
town to take hand in campaign
to organize mine workers there
abouts. West Virginia mine owners,
then as now, didn't want their work
ers organized, and also controlled,
then as now, the local authorities.
So Debs and "Mother" Jones were
arrested on some technical charge
and put behind the bars. Young
Davis saw a chance to try out some
of his newly acquired legal tech
nique. His friends, however, insist
that what moved him. was sense OF
injustice in the strong-arm methods
employed by the mine workers.
Anyway, he went over to the Jail,
volunteered his services to the union
workers and shortly had them free
again. That story, doubtless, will
be told with much emphasis in union
circles during \the campaign.

The true "Rose of Jericho" is a
small white lowered annual of the
mustard family. It is a native of
desert regions from Arabia and Syria
to Algeria, and is supposed to be
the rolling thing before the whirl-
wind" mentioned in Isaiah
After Towering the leaves fall off
and the branches bscome hard and
woody and roll up into a ball, bear
ing the seed pods inside. In this
state the plants, uprooted by the
wind, are blown about the desert.
When the winter rains fall the
branches spread back, the pods open,
and the seeds quickly terminate.
Dried plants retain for years the
property Of opening when moistened,
although they do not "come to life
in the proper sense of the words.
Resurrection plant bears no flow
ers, has no fragrance or insecticidal
value and is in no way connected
with the Holy Land. It is a native
of the deserts from Texas southwark
into Mexico.
