Fixing the Bible
Power In the Head
Bond Market Buoyancy
By Arthur Brisbane

A Chicago professor translates the
Bible and cuts out completely John 4
story of the woman whom Christ for.
gave, saying to the collection of old
gentlemen with stones in their hands
''He that is without sin among you
let him first cast stone at her.
John never wrote that, says the
learned translator; somebody put IL
in. Another learned man says the
Book of John was written two or
three hundred years after the death
of Christ, and if that be true, John
might have missed something.
If now some other wise person
would cut out of the New Testament
''The Sermon on the Mount'' and "suf-
fer little children to come unto Me,
and forbid them not" the job would
be perfect.
The story about the woman forgiven,
in the eighth chapter of John, is es-
pecially interesting, because in all the
Bible ii contains the only reference
to any writing done by Christ: "Jesus
stopped down and with His finger
wrote on the ground" And that ans
wers in an interesting way other wise
men, including Renan, who say that
Christ, simple peasant of Galilee,
never could read or write.

whether an appropriation to cover Nc
Cullough's salary pext year was placed
in the budget. But City Attorney w.

Judge Stiles Would Avoid Last

A warning to Birmingham and JEFF

Wednesday by Probate Judge ]. p.
Stiles. He asserted that unless auto
mobile license tags are secured soon the
probate office will be crowded at the
end of the period and that citizens will
be compelled to wait several hours,
while at the present time, it is not
necessary to wait mre than few min
utes.
. Approximately one-third of the time
for securing tags has passed" Judge
Stiles said, "and only about one-sev-
enth of the tags have been sold. We
have sold less than 1000 tags in four
teen days and the number to be sold
this year is expected to run to $1,000
OF $4,000. -
'Unless autoists buy their tags more
rapidly in the future than they have
for the past two weeks, the congestion
and confusion during the last week or
so will be so great that people will be
compelled to stand in line for hours"
