THE NAVIGATOR"
HERE NEXT WEEK

Buster Keaton has gone down to
the sea in ships.
His latest Metro Goldwyn feature
comedy is called 4The Navigator"
and it's coming to the Bever-Lee
Theatre next week. To make it
Buster hired an ocean liner and sail
ed to Catalina Island, where most Of
the scenes were made at anchor.
The star had the hveliest time in
his life doing "The Navigator" and
from advance reports, the picture is
The liveliest of his career.
They put sailors suit on Buster,
and when he wasn't swabbing decks,
he was shoveling coal, tons of it into
the ships many furnaces with their
cavernous maws, as the latter are
called in shipping circles.
Buster Kept Busy
Busters ship is the "Buford," a
450-foot liner, and one of Busters
jobs was scraping 450 feet of bar
nacles off the 'Bulford's" hull. For
this job Buster wore diving suit
and was trailed by submarine
which helped him fight off octopi,
sharks and enraged swordfish.
Buster chartered the "Buford" for
two months. And with life nets
spread at the level of the royal
yardarms he spent many pleasant
days adjusting sky rails ON the fore,
main, and mizzenmasts. To say
nothing of the other stunts he
thought up for the new picture.
1t is reported Keaton went to
great personal risk for some of the
scenes, so that audiences might have
real thrill One thing is sure,
future applicants for the job OF
deep-sea diving will decrease very
much, for anyone seeing Buster don
suit and go down in "The Naviga-
tor" is likely to feel rather timid
about trying it himself. 1t win be
shown next Friday and Saturday,
September 18th and 18th.

BEVERLY LADS GUESTS
OF ISAAC BACHARACH
Key To Washington Given Tourists
By Congressman.

One of the most enjoyable holiday
! tours was that of several of our
young men who left Beverly last Sat
urday, covering mileage of about 800
miles, through Southern territory
which included some of the most his
toric spots of that region. The
tourists first stop was at Gettys-
burg, Pa, where they visited the his
toric battlefields, leaving the next
day for the Endless Caverns at New
Market, Va, where their conception
of Imagination was somewhat baf-
fled as to what transformation could
be realized from the constant running
of water into the interior of the
cavern forming these various figures.
Resuming their trip via the Luray
was quite mountainous and of course
caused much excitement by the fell
lows for the reason Jersey is SO fiat
but according to one of the party,
Jersey suited him. The most impor-
tant point of their mission had not
been reached until they had safely
parked at Washington, D. C.
At the Capitol was where the fell
lows had planned most which latter
proved greater than their anticipa-
ton as the Postmaster David B. Rod
man had arranged with Hon. Robert
Bourke, Secretary to Congressman
Isaac Bacharach, to show the boys
everything that could be covered of
interest and by the report they
could not have missed much as Mr..
Bourke very generously rendered
them the best hospitality, and at the
end of their tour very elaborate
dinner awaited them, where they all
did justice.
During this trip the boys were able
to see the spots where ExPresident
Wilson, the Unknown Soldier and
William Jennings Bryan were inter-
red at Arlington, Va, and also where
the officers of the recent Shenandoah
catastrophe were buried on Tues
day past. One of the victims, 1t.
Commander Hancock, was known
by the Postmaster as Commander
Hancock was a son-in-law to Senator
William H. Bright, of Wildwood.
The fellows arrived home safely
but according to their report of the
trip, the toM question was never out
of their minds even though they had
left when the Delaware Bridge Toll
fight was at full blast, as charges
seem to run anywhere from quarter
to dollar. So if they have not al
ready voted on the toll question the
Banner" thinks they will register
against same ON the grounds that
they were victims and once is
enough.
Those on the trip were George
Stevenson and Frederick Lauinger,
of the Beverly Banner" Postmaster
David B. Rodman and Harry Horner

Advanced Ideas in
This German Prison

At Ichtershausen near Arnstadt, in
Thuringia, the prison is so pleasant
that no one has ever attempted to es-
cape from 1t. The prison authorities
have made the prison life tolerable,
humane and educational In-the first
place there are only 400 prisoners, al
though there are cells for $40. With
in the prison is local court in which
all misdemeanors are judged by four
employees, assisted by two representa-
tives of the convicts. Many of the SEN
fences imposed by the judge are lighter
than those suggested by the convicts.
Every prisoner is permitted to supple
ment the prison fare by purchases from
the outside. The prisoners work for
low wages but are allowed to keep the
money-On an average Is marks a
month, although clever workers make
as much as 40 marks. The living con-
ditions are as pleasant as possible and
the prisoners are allowed regular gym
nastics and occasional turner COMPETE

Odd Freak of Wheels

A stuck throttle on the locomotive
Of Pennsylvania railroad passenger
locomotive near Hamburg, Pa, caused
one Of the most freakish accidents in
the history of the railroad The train
was travelling nearly sixty miles an
hour when the engineer discovered
that he could neither take off, nor put
on steam. The train was rapidly ap-
preaching station so he turned on
the air and brought the train to a
stop with the brakes. But the wheels
of the locomotive continued to revolve
at high speed, wearing grooves in
the rails and creating a terrific noise.
The engine was stopped only after
water had been poured on the fire to
reduce the steam pressure. 1t required
more than an hour to bring the wheels
to halt.

Sanitary Poultry House
Is Necessary for Eggs

Chickens will not give adequate re-
turns in eggs or growth when kept un-
der insanitary conditions.
The construction of the poultry
hcase should receive first attention.
Sufficient air space, lighting, and ven
tilation should be provided, and the
entire house cleaned at frequent in
teryals.
While these precautions cannot be
depended upon to control mites and
lice, they aid the poultryman in deter
mining when these pests are present.
Furthermore, the fowls are kept In
vigorous condition, which In itself
aids In controlling pests Dirty and
insanitary houses provide ideal breed
ing conditions for insects and germs
which are detrimental to poultry. Dis
eased fowls, or those with malformed
bills or feet, fall ready prey to lice,
mites, and other insect pests, and
should be removed as soon as dis
covered.

tant undertaking is shown by the adj
dress to King James of the translators,
of which the beginning and fourth
paragraph are as follows:
To the Most High and Mighty Prince
James, by the Grace of God, King of
Great Britain, France and Ireland, De-
fender of the Faith, &c. the Translators
of the Bible wish Grace, Mercy and
Peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
There are infinite arguments of this
right Christian and religious affection
in Your Majesty, but none is more
forcible to declare 1t to others than the
vehement and perpetuated desire of ac-
complishing and publishing of this
work, which now with all humility we
present unto Your Majesty. For when
Your Highness had once out of deep
Judgment apprehended how convenient
1T was, that out of the Original Sacred
Tongues. together with comparing Of
the labours. both In our own. and other
foreign Languages, of many worthy
men who went before US. there should
be one more exact Translation Of the
holy Scriptures into the English
Tongue; Your Majesty did never desist
to urge and to excite those to whom 1t
was commended, that the work might
be fastened, and that the business
might be expedited in so decent man
ner, as a matter of such Importance
might Justly require.
This James 1929 was the son
of Lord Darnley and Mary Queen of
Scots. In 1867 he became James VI
of Scotland and In 1903 succeeded
Queen Elizabeth as James !, king of
England, Scotland and Ireland. He
was said by his contemporaries to be
the "wisest fool in Europe"
The King James version is by no
means the first, English Bible. That
honor probably belongs to a manu-
script translation of about 1880 by
John Wycliffe, the famous preacher,
from the Latin Vulgate. Incident
ally, 1t is of interest to note that in
his preface Wycliffe wrote, "The Bible
is for the government of the people,
by the people and for the people
which is suggestively similar to Lin
coins famous utterance In his Gettys-
burg Address. How many manu-
script copies of Wycliffe's translation
were made is not known; eight of his
time are still In existence. 1t is
known, however, that these manu-
script copies were In semi-secret cir
culation in England down to the end
of the Fifteenth century.
Now we come to the first complete
English Bible, the title page of which
is herewith reproduced. Its date is
MDXXXV-1535-as the fac smile
shows. 1t was not translation from
original Greek and Hebrew texts,
from the "Douche and Latyn," as the
title page sets forth. The names of
translator and printer are not set
forth But they are known. The
translator was Miles Coverdale CLASS
1859, and the printing was done in
Switzerland, probably in Zurich. 1t is

considered scholarly version. No per
feet copy is known to be extant.
Much of the lettering of the illus
down scroll in connection with Adam
and Eve and the serpent in the Garden
of Eden reads:
"In what daye so ever thou eatest
thereof thou shalt dye"
Note the 'vv" which is used for "w,"
which is not followed in the center
lettering. In old English and were
practically interchangeable; hence W
was literally double-u. The seven
teenth verse Of the second chapter Of
Genesis in the King James version
reads:
"But of the tree of knowledge Of
good and evil, thou shalt not eat Of it:
for in the day thou eatest thereof thou
shalt surely die"
A significant piece of decoration on
this title page Is that at the bottom
between the two scrolls. 1t quite
evidently represents King Henry WI,
to whom the translation was dhdi-
Gated by Myles Coverdale, presenting
this first complete English Bible to
church and civil dignitaries. Henry
VIII (1491-1547)-Bluff King Hal-the
king of many wives-procured in 1884
the passage of the Act of Supremacy
which severed the connection of the
English church with Rome and ap.
pointed the king and his successors
the protector and only supreme head
! of the church and clergy of England.
So 1t was quite in order for him to
bring out new version of the Bible.
An odd bit Of decoration for the IT,
tie page of Bible is the sugges-
ton Of the Order of the Garter, with
| its famous motto. This is the high
est order of knighthood in Great Brit
ain. and it's membership is about so,
including the sovereign, the Prince
of Wales and "a knights compan.
ions. 1t was established by Edward
III (1312-77) about 1916. The legend
of it is that at a state ball the
| Countess of Salisbury lost her garter,
which Edward picked up and placed
on his own knee. His courtiers there
upon snickered, whereupon the king
exclaimed Gas we now write it) "Honi
soft qui NAL Y pense." This literally
means: "Shamed be he who thinks
evil of It." We now translate It'll
EVIL to him who evil thinks"
Suppose we put the kings utterance
conversely thus: "Good to him who
good thinks" That is not so very
far from "Peace on earth to men of
good WILL" as the Roman Catholic
Douay version of the Bible translates
the Christmas message
