touched upon the Sinai Tablets discov-
cred some time ago by Professor Sir
W. NJ. Flindcr Pctrei, the famous Brit
ish Psychologist. bearing inscriptions
in Ancient Hebrew script The tablets
which were discovered in 1904 on
Mount Sinai. remained a puzzle to stu
dents Of Egyptology and Semitic phil
ology. Professor Grimmc declared that
he succeeded in deciphering the inscrip-
tlon which reads, according TO him, in
the following manner:
Il. Chief Manasse, thank Phaeroinc
Hjntschepfut who drew me out Of the
Nile and furthcred my achieving high
rank"
Professor Grimme is of the opinion
that the word "Manasse' is identical
with Moses"
London J. T. A.)-British scholars
expressed their disagreement with the
opinion of Professor Hubert Grimme
concerning the Sinai tablets
The scholars are OF the opinion that
Professor Grimme's deciphering is In
correct. According TO his reading Of
the tablet it would appear that Moses
lived much earlier than is generally be-
licvcd.
Professor Grimme offered similar
opinion last year in an article published
by him in the "Wiener Morgcnzcitung."
Professor Sir W. NJ. Flinders Petrci
who discovered the tablets on the
Plateau Sarabit el Chadam In the
southwestern part of the Sinai PENN
sula. in an interview with the CORE
spondent of the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency last year. expressed doubt
whether the reading of Professor
Grimme is correct. Professor Pctrci
has treated of his discovery of the tab
lets in his book Researches in Sinai"

STATE GAS TAX
SHOWS BIG GAIN
1925 Receipts Far In Excess For
Corresponding 1924 Collections

Total collections by the State fol
the gasoline tax during the pas
month of September totals $374,-
957.4S, which is an Increase over
collections of the same tax for the
same period last year 70 $66,546.59
The first figures have just been re.
leased
The total gas tax in Virginia fol-
the year 1924 amounted to $3,313,-
1S8.47, or only $483,299.94 more
than the collections of this tax for
the first nine months of the present
year.
The estimate of the gas tax made
by Motor Vehicle Commissioner for
1925 was placed at $3.50. 900. AL
ready of this estimated total, 81
S29,SSS.53 is In hand, leaving bal
ance to be collected $920,111.47,
with three more months to go.
Present collections for 1925 will
be found to be far in excess of the
forecast Of Governor Trinkle, who
endeavored to be conservative.
Should the General Assembly, acting
on the suggestion of Governor-elect
Byrd, add an additional one cent to
the present three-cent tax on gas,
revenue from this tax alone will
mean to Virginia about $500, 600
each month, or upwards of $4,000
600 annually.
The gas tax is collected at only a
nominal cost to the State of a frac-
ton over one tenth of one per cent.
OF the above ak, two-thirds goes
direct to the state highways, with
one-third apportioned to feeder
roads.

NEW TIME PAYMENT PLAN

The new time payment purchase
plan of the General Motors Accept
ance Corporation when applied to
the purchase of Chevrolet automo-
biles make the time payment price
of the car from SIS to s35 lower, ac-
cording to C. E. Dawson, assistant
genertl sales manager of the Chew
rolet Motor Company.
Mr.. Dawson expresses enthusiast
tic approval of the plan.
To-day the automobile is neces-
sity; it has long passed the luxury
STAGE" said Mr.. Dawson. There
fore, like other necessities the auto
mobile logically may be purchased
out of current income, and major
ity of automobiles are so purchased.
THE G. M. A. C. plan enables the
purchasr to buy his car out of in
come without the imposition of
heavy premiums. A Chevrolet now
may be bought on. one-third down
payment and operated during the
year in which payments are being
completed at an additional cost of
only eight cents per day for financ-
ing the time payments. This eight
cents. besides meeting all interest
and carrying charges, gives the pur-
chaser complete fire and theft insur-
ance coverage for the year.
Heretofore, when dealers were
financing their time payment sales
through Independent finance COM
panies the interest and carrying
charges varied greatly, according to
the resources of those companies and
the volume of their business.
THE G. M. A. C. was organized as
an aid to the General Motors deal
ers in order that they might give
their patrons the benefit of lower in
terest and carrying charges Because
of its immense resources and the
steady volume of business which it
receives from the General Motors
units, the G. NJ A. C. enables deal
ers to reduce interest and carrying
charges to the absolute minimum.
1.-THE G. Nj. A. C. time payment
plan is dove-tailing perfectly with the
Six Per Cent Certificate plan BY
which prospective Chevrolet owners
are paid six per cent interest or
money deposited toward first pay
ment on car. When this money
and the interest reach the sum of {
down payment, the car is delivered
and the purchaser completes his pay
ments under the inexpensive G. M
A. C. financing PLAN

WHEAT SITUATION
is UNUSUAL
Dealers Say They Have Never Seen
Anything Like It-Millers Long

The wheat situation in the United
States stands out in way that il
different from any time in the his
tory of the trade. according to tn,
Oldest operators. They have never
seen anything like it. and it is diff
cult to understand. To have condi
tions in October that are usually
prevalent in February and March Ii
keeping them guessing as to the flu.
ture course of values The situation
in the United States is statistically
bullish, while from a speculative
market standpoint it is bearish.
1t is asserted by the trade in gen
eral that 90 per cent of the bust
ness in futures in Chicago is profes-
sional. Some large local operators
are bearish on May and some are
long on cash wheat and short on
May. Others are said to be short on
May, and there is a holding of De-
cember, which is sufficient to con-
gest the market at times, causing
sharp advances after breaks
To have December wheat at a
premium over May, with abnormal
cash premiums and the smallest
movement to primary markets for
October in years, is situation that
has not existed heretofore. To make
it more difficult to understand, there
is the fact of small stocks at Chi
cago, only about 100000 bushels
of contract wheat, with no prospects
of wheat coming here unless values
are put out of line SO that there is
a profit in shipping.
Millers are long of cash wheat,
part of which is said to be hedged
by sales of futures. Holders of cash
grain in elevators in different parts
of the country have it hedged, while
others are afraid to put their hedges
in the Chicago December market be-
cause of the limited stocks, placing
the market in position where the
December might advance sharply
should there be concentrated hold
ing of around 100000 bushels.
With these light stocks and small
outside trade, professional operations
are so evenly balanced as to keep the
market in kind of a rut When it
l.
advanced prices on themselves while
overbought conditions are constantly
resulting in sharp declines, when
holders try o unload.
Some trade leaders are looking
ahead for conditions to become more
bearish and depress prices. while the
long-range operators are looking for
higher values eventually.

NOVEL HAWK CATCHING

A novel method of hawk capture
has been successfully demonstrated
by Rockingham County man. The
News-Record of Harrisonburg says:
Charles Gilkerson. who works on
the farm of E. H. Michael. the game
warden, at Port Republic, is one of
the champion hawk-trappers of the
Valley. Mr.. Gilkerson brought to
Harrisonburg two large chicken
hawks, one of them measuring So
inches from tip to tip Of wings. and
which was caught with traps set on
poles. He has shared SO this year.
These hawks. says Mr.. Gilkerson. kill
more birds than any hunter. The
traps are set on fence post or pole.
The hawk lights on them to await
birds"

MASSANUTTEN
LOSES GAME
Goes Down Before Onslaught OF
Dayton Hornets

Massanutten went down in defea
before the Shenandoah College hor
nets on Saturday at Dayton.
The college sports correspondent
Of the Daily News-Record has this t.
say of the game:
shenandoah College took a Ions
step toward the Valley prep title Sat
urday when the Hornets turned bach
the formidable Massanutten Academy
gridders by score of 26 to 20 in
nerhaps the most thrilling battle
ever seen on Zynoda Field Forward
masses played the dominant part in
practically all the scoring.
Massanutten started off like they
would overwhelm the Horents, scor-
ing two touchdowns in the first per-
iod Shenandoah came through with
the passing combination of Burtner
and Captain Warren playing the lead
ing role.
The Hornets were outweighed, but
managed to halt the onslaughts of
the Woodstock cadets who came
with visions of marching on to the
Valley championship. After the first
period. the Hornet line held at all
stages. in one instance turning the
visitors back on the vineyard line.
Captain Warren, of course, was
the outstanding performer on the
field, but he was ably aided by Mil
Ter. BURNER and Grigalieunas. and
the entire forward line. Halfback
Kremer was the star for Massanut-
ten.
Shenandoah has yet to taste de-
feat, and the Hornets are confident
of hanging up another victory next
Saturday at the expense OF Luray
College.

DUTCH ANDERSON
MEETS HIS FATE
Killer Is Killed-Officer Dies With
Him In Duel

George Dutch Anderson, gun
man. killer and pal of Gerald Chap
man. convicted slayer and robber.
was shot to death at Muskegon,
Mich, Saturday night by Detective
Sergeant Charles Hammond
Identification was made by finger
: prints and Bertillon measurement,
as well as secret service agents. who
have been seeking Anderson.
Anderson. for whom a nation
wide search has been made since the
staying last August IA in Muncie,
Ind, of Mr.. and Mrs Ben Hanze,
died from bullet fired from his
own weapon. but only after he had
fatally wounded the detective
The detective came upon Anderson
in the Saturday evening crowds in
a downtown section and arrested
him for questioning concerning the
passing of counterfeit $40 bill. On
the way to the police station, Ander-
son drew his revolver and began fir
ing.
Hammond, who was shot at close
range and MORALLY wounded, wrest-
ed the revolver from Anderson and
fired one bullet through Anderson's
heart.
Anderson and Chapman have been
linked in crime for several years.
Their biggest lob" according to po-
lice records, was the hold-up of a
mail truck in New York in 1921.
Fled From Prison
Both were apprehended, convicted
and sentenced to serve rs years each,
but both escaped from the federal
prison at Atlanta. Ca, where they
were incarcerated
Anderson, with Chapman, came to
Muncie during the summer of 1924,
after the shooting of detective in
Connecticut They lived with the
Hanze family several months. Hanze,
during his testimony in the Chap
man trial at Hartford, said the pair
spent their time fishing, reading and |
riding through the countryside in |
Chapman's motor car.
The day Chapman was arrested in
Muncie. Anderson disappeared and. |
although he was reported to have |
been connected with several bank
robberies in Indiana and a liquor
running syndicate. no definite word |
was received until Hanze, dying, ac-
cused Anderson of being his muir
derer.
Slew Two to Protect Self II
The Hanzes were killed August IA. /
Private and state secret service /
operatives denied the theory that
Hanze and his wife were slain to
avenge Chapman.
These officers said Hanze was en-
route to Indianapolis to furnish in
formation on Anderson's movements, /
and to protect himself the bandit

Supposed In Shenandoah
Several months ago a man thought !
to have been Dutch Anderson was 1
examined at Orkney Springs by |
Deputy Sheriff Mckinley Ryman and |
other officers. The officers decided /
that 1t was not Dutch" Anderson,
though he bore the name Anderson /
and had some of the Bertillon marks 4
of the outlaw. The Orkney Springs /
guest also spoke several languages, +
one of the advertised means of iden- /
tifying the man just killed. 1t was /
also stated that he had the same /
vaccination marks peculiar to Dutch /
Anderson. The Identification was
not sufficient to hold him, however,
and the matter was dropped.
