learned translator; somebody put it in.
Another learned man says the Book
of John was written two or three hun
dred 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 "suffer
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 it contains the only reference to
any wrrting 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, a simple peasant of Galilee
never could read or write.
1t pays to save little things. And
some very rich men are rich. because
they know it. But suggest saving to a.
young man who hasn't got anything
he smiles compassiona.ely and passes
on.
Henry Ford doesn't do that His
plant in Detroit saves waste paper,
string, used-up head of mops, broken
pals, nuts, bolts, ETC. At the end of
a year The saving equals a million dol.

1t is planned to send the dirigib1e
Shenandoah to the North Pole; an in
teresting idea, but some engineers and
others declare the Shenandoah unfit
for such journey.
If there is any doubt about it, there
should be no such North Pole trip, and
men of high authority should take no
needless risk with others, especially
as they themselves would not be i'll
c1uded in the crew.
Men we're sent to their death in bad
ly made flying machines during the
war. But that was war This is peace,
and men able and brave enough for
that North Pole trip are valuable A
mere trip of interesting scientific in
vestigation may we'll be postponed I'M
til it can be made safely.
Man is an inferior animal, science
tells us. If you were as strong as an
ant you could lift 120 tons. If as agile
as flee, YOU could lump over tall
building. What of it?
By pressing a button, working a ma
chine created by his brain man can
lift many thousands of tons. He can't
jump like flea but he can go up in
a flying machine and stay up. The flea
cannot do that. It's better to have the
power in Your head than in leg or
arm.
The four greatest race horses in the
world-or at least the four best adver-
tised-Zev, Papyrus, Epinard and
Grey Lag, will race this year at Ascot.
Anyone of those horses would self
for at least 100000.
The automobile show. not far off,
will show You various cars selling for
-"w hundred dollars, any one of
which could take the four greatest race
horses, one after another and run them
all to death in one afternoon.
Once fast horses were important.
Now they are part of gambling mach
inery,and they won't last long.

For real news of Europe watch the
exchange market. What the world
thinks of a nations money tells what
the world thinks of that nation and its
position. Yesterday the franc fell be-
low five Cents, the lowest record The
French public debt in three years has
risen from 200 billion to 400 billion
francs. War does not pay, especially
if YOU keep it up after it ought to be
ended.
