they spoke, as do, today, 200, 900 people, more
or less, living in that region and roundabout
Mr.. Lamsa himself, however, came into the
west gained an Occidental education, became
interested in the Bible as a record of his own
racial heritage, as record, besides, Of the life
and work and death of Jesus. In this study
OF the New Testament Mr.. Lamsa found words
and phrases, more than few of these which
In the yicissitudes of many ations-Greek
Latin, English, whatnot-had, on the one hand
completely lost their original substance and on
the other had been given meanings not inherent
In the original words since the underlying fact
OF the word was non-exstent in the Aramaic
life and tongue. Impressed and interested Mr.
Lamsa pursued the subject with thoroughness
that led him to construct simple lectures upon
this highly interesting discovery. These lee
lures he has given in many parts Of this coun-
try and abroad. Now some of these and other
interesting and allied facts have been embodied
IN the little book, Key to the Gospel" In
large measure the book is concrete, made of ex-
amples drawn from the New Testament and
commented upon by the author from the stand
point Of the original language in which they
were cast the language which is also his native
tongue, unchanged from the days when Jesus
living near where Mr.. Lamsa lives spoke the
tongue that this man speaks unchanged, from
that early day to this one. A most interesting
study, as such. And that is all it is intended
TO be. The simplicity of the book is its great
appeal, that and the concrete character of its
examples drawn straight from the life

CREATIVE SINGING: Key to the Science Of
Individual Expression. By Paul Savage.
New York: The Petros Press.
YOU have seen and heard it many time
and wondered at the too, too frequent
shortage in any real artistry of singing. You
recall the perfect music box, the apparatus for
singing, trained to hundred per cent of fin
ished execution, the fine presence Of the artist
himself, or herself, the glorious aria other
musical composition-and after all, nothing to
sing it with No deep feeling in the heart
and soul OF that singer, no potent sense Of
beauty, no capacity for passion, high spirit
OF courage, suffering remuneration none Of
these to sing the immortal song with. A fat
being Of Debated SOUL its prime concern the
manipulation Of mechanism to the perfec-
tion in which it had been SO sedulously and
competently and successfully trained. But
nothing to sing not really to sing
In Creative Singing" Paul Savage has
clearly pointed out this lack, this loss, and in
SO far as it can be done he has provided
way, certainly for what is, in effect, the grow
ing of a soul. A way for admitting beauty
INTO the mind and heart-simple beauty and
grand beauty. Not an easy thing to do. Call
ing for more Of patience and more of inteli-
gence than the making of a perfect machine
itself could ever think Of doing Yet, without
this there is no singing art. Such con-
sclousness, such effort, 1t seems to me, Is the
stamp OF this unusual book. Beyond this new
attitude and effort, Creative Singing is the
familiar series of LESSONS in the technic and
Interpretation Of singing for the various de-
mands made upon it under a wide range Of
circumstance and requirement.

Steward will ask William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, to call a
conference to hear complaints of
the Government Workers.
His abrupt change in plans was
brought about by publication OF
an unannounced order Of the
Bureau of the Budget, forbidding
any Government department to
incur deficits due to the Saturday
half holiday law. The order was
contained, it is said. in a letter
sent to the Secretary Of War.
If the mandate is carried out,

Denying that there was. any
thing irregular, unusual or mys
terious in the way a recent seiz-
ure of liquor was destroyed at
the Takoma Park Police Station,
Alvie A. Moxley, chief of the
Montgomery county police, today
described in detail how the liquor
was found and how it was poured
out. His StaSA'nent follows:
my attention has been called
to several news stories in the
press indicating that there was
sOmethir mysterious or irreg-
uIar about the destruction Of
certain liquor found in TakOma
Park in an abandoned autOmO-
bile and destroyed under my d.
rectiOn.
Impression Wrong
"InaSmuch as there was moth
ing mysterious or irregular
about the entire matter, l feel
it proper that this statement
be made to correct any errO-
neOus impressions which may
have arisen as a result Of the
publicity which has been given
the matter. The facts are as
follows:
During the month of Feb
ruary of this year Sergt. Earl
H. Burdine found a Peerless
touring car abandoned in Ia
kOma Park. There was found in
the car so gallons of corn
whisky, which was contained in
I2O haIf-gallOn jars.
Auto Was Sold
"The driver Of the autOmO-
bile was never apprehended
and the car itself, after being
held for the required length Of
time, was sold by me under the
provisions Of existing law, and
the proceeds of the sale paid
to the County Commissioners
of Montgomery county under
the terms of the act in queS-
ton.
"The liquor itself was stored
by Sergeant Burdine, in ac-
cOrdance with my directions, at
the TakOma Park Police Sta
tiOn in a locker and was held

until the car was SOld. Inls
action also was In accordance
with the uniform practice OF
the Montgomery county pOilce
force. .
Followed Instructions
"After the sale of the car
at public auction several weeks
ago, I directed Sergeant Bur-
dine to destroy the liquor.
This Sergeant Burdine pro
ceeded to do and he did de-
strOy the contents Of "a Of the
Jars, a total of AZ gallons of
whisky, on the night Of Thurs
day, the 14th instant, in the
presence of Officer Theodore
RaineS.
"The destruction of this
amount Of liquor was q tedious
process, inasmuch as 1t was
necessary for Sergeant Burdine
to tap the tops Of. each jar
to loosen them, thus preserving
the jars themselves so that
they might be given to farmers
and others who might need
them, which is also in accord
ance with the practice Of the
force under nv direction.
Poured on Ground
THE whisky contained in
the "a jars in question was
poured out on the ground just
outside of the TakOma Park
Police Station by Sergeant
Burdine, In the presence Of
Officer RaineS. and the empty
jars were piled ON the ground
outside the station when 1
visited the station the follow
ing morning, at which time
the contents Of the 36 re-
naming half gallon jars was
also poured out by Sergeant
Burdine in accordance with
my directions and in my pres
ence.
"The destruction Of this
liquor was in no way different
from the course taken by my
force under my direction In
many other similar cases."

INSURGENTSH|T
DEMOCRATIC
TAX STAND
Senate Leaders Split Three
Ways on Policy; Failure
Seen For New Legislation

The declaration of Democratic
leaders against any increase in
Federal taxes drew a sharp re-
buke from the Progressive bloc
today when Senator Brookhart,
Iowa InSurgent, termed it the
product of Wall Street leaders" !"
Hits Entire Program
BrOOkhart disagreed entirely
with Senator Pat HarriSOn'S cO-l-
tentiOn that payments into she
debt retiring fund be suspended
temporarily, the deficit met Ey
shOrt-term certificates, and tax
increases abandoned.
The prospect of an exciting
tax war was seen in Brookhart'S
announcement of the Progressive
stand. The Progressives pre-
viously hit the suggestion of Sec
retary Mellon that more citl-
zens" should be brought into the
tax7paying fold, a suggestion
aimed at reducing exemptions.
and, possibly, levying a Federal
tax on automobiles and gasoline
sales.
All Parties at Odds
From the announcements of
these leaders, the next Congress
undoubtedly will find Administra-
ton Republicans demanding more
revenue by enlarged taxati: L,
the Insurgents demanding higher
taxes against the rich, and the
Democrats opposing all increases.
With such a division in senti
ment, tax legislation may fail,
even if attempted, in the long
session.
