is Jerusalem 1000 years ago, Pierre
Van Paessen writes, in the Atlanta
Constitution. The prisoner is Jesus
Christ, son of Mary of Nazareth, a
dreamer, One who called Himself a
king. There He goes to be nailed to
the cross.
He hangs on the cross. The mid
day sun is beating down On the bare
hill. His hands are torn with the
weight of His own body on the nails
Blood streams over His face. Fol

head. But from the tortured mans
lips come gentle words for His mother,
who stands at His feet. Overwhelm-

thief at his side verify, this day
thou shalt be with Me in Paradise"
The sky darkens suddenly. The cross
assumes huge proportions in the
spreading gloom, It rises out OF the
earth as a terrible fantastic shape.
The face of the sufferer cannot be
seen any longer, but His voice is heard
again. Not in Hebrew, nor in Latin,
but in the tongue of His mother, the
speech from the land Of Galilee. For

But never saw he such a scene. Anx-

FIGURE GRANGE WILL MAKE MERE
TRIFLE OF 100000 DURING HIS
FIRST SEASON AS PRO- PLAYER
Bv HENRY L. FARRELL

NEW YORK, Dec. with total
earnings of $4,000 for five games
played in eleven days, Red Grange
is almost certain to realize about
100000 for his first season as u
professional football player.
The red haired star of the Chicago
Bears got $4,000 as his SHIRE OF
the receipts when 10000 spectators
iammed into the Polo grounds yes
terdav to see his team beat the New
York Giants, 10 to 7.
This sum, no doubt, will not be
eaualled in any other games this
season, but the returns will be
substantial from the games that he
is to play in Washington, Boston,
Pittsburgh, Detroit and Chicago this
week and the games that he is to
play in Florida.
Last night over the radio, Grange
in stressing the value Of self con
fidencc, said he. had never gone IN

that he would get away once. de

it when he grabbed a forward pass
thrown by Hinkey llaines, the New
York star and dashed 80 yards for
touchdown. He played III only
three quarters Of the game.
He gained So yards on eleven plays
from scrimmagc; threw two conlpiet-
ed forward passes out of three at
tcmpts for gain of 80 yards ;
caught one pass for a gain OF -
wards; ran two kicks for l3 yards
and finished with "a run of 80 yards
for touchdown OH an intercepted
pass.
His running against the Giants
in terms of dollars. was worth
about $3.50 a, yard. Thus far III hi'i
professional career he has averaged
$4,000 game and the revenue Tor
the use of his name for other pur-
poses cannot be computed. Figuring
ON the returns that Jack DempseS
and Babe Ruth received for the use
of their names, ii is quite possible
that he will realize at least $5o,0Go.

Bu NEA Seruice
MERSHAM, England, Dec. 49,
Radio enthusiasts whose sets carry
celluloid-cased accumulators should
take care to avoid short circuit
which might set the receiver afire.
At recent inquest on woman

the theory was brought forward that
the fire was caused by the accumu-
lator was short circuited receiving
set catching fire.
1t was believed that the ac-
cumulator was short circuited by the
ends of the wires attached to the
terminals coming into contact, and
that the wires, becoming red hot.
set fire to the celluloid container.
