Travis went to the door and called
twotroopers, giving them quick orders.
He came back and said to McGhee,
"Well, I'm going on your say-so. Now
perhaps you'll tell how you come to
know so much"
"Sure thingr' said McGhee. Its
like this: Miss Phillips and Mr.. Mac
Donald were at this party. They had
some private talking to do, so they
went outside on the porch. 1t was
cold, and they got in the back seat
of her daddy's car, which was parked
next to the entrance. That was just
before the stick-up."
McGhee dropped his off eyelid at
Travis.
"A while later the porch lights went
out and two mugs come rushing
out of the club. They jump into the
front seat of the car, start her up and
step on it like dynamite was on their
tail"
McGhee paused and looked at Sally
and Tommy for confirmation. They
nodded.

ARCHAIC FORMS
ELIMINATED IN
BIBLE REVISION
Ye, Thou Among Terms
Banned in New Work

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 5
G.N.SO.-A revised version of the
Gospel Of st. John, shorn Of
this" yes" and "thou's" and
other archaic forms, made its ap-
pearance here today as $4,000
delegates to the Fourth National
Catechetical Congress left for
their homes.
1t was the initial work In revis.
ing the entire Bible for use Of
English speaking C atholicS
throughout the world. The task
is expected to be completed
within two years.
REVISED VERSION
Almost every line of the Gospel
of st. John has been changed
from the version which, with the
rest of the Bible, has been in use
since 1882. The latter is known
as the Douai-Rheims version.
In the new version Christ iS
given wine on q sponge at tina
Crucifixion rather than vinegar
on a sponge as in the old version,
The Douai-Rheims version Of
Chapter 10, verse 20, of st. John
read: Jesus. therefore, when He
had taken the vinegar, said: 1t
is consummated,' and bowing His
head, He gave up the ghost"
OTHER CHANGES
The revised version reads:
When. therefore. Jesus had taken
the wine, He said: 1T is consum.
mated and, bowing His head, He
gave up the SPIRIT
The quotation heard at funerals,
Il am the resurrection end tbs
life; he that believeth in Me, al
though he be dead, shall live; and
everyone that liveth, and believeth
in Me shall not die forever" now
reads: Il am the resurrection and

even if he die, shall live and who
ever lives and believes In Me, shall

ROW ON RENTS.
Authority Insists Upon
LoW-PiCe Figures

The District of Columbia's $1O,-
100000 low-cost housing project,
expected to be financed by the
United States Housing Admins
tration, is today right back on the
desk of John Ihlder, executive Of
ficer of the Districts alley dwell
ing authority.
The Housing Administration has
told Mr.. Ihlder unless he can spe-
city what income group he Is go
ing to build for and what rents he
is going to charge for his apart
ments, the Administration cannot
give him any assistance, and the
S10,000,000 housing project is be-
ing pigeon-holed by Housing Ad-
miniStrator Nathan Straus until
Mr.. Ihlder provides some statistics
covering incomes and rentals.
ALL OTHERS FIX RATES
Leon Keyserling. deputy housing
administrator, said today the Dis
trict of Columbia application is
the only one received from the en-
tire United States that does not
contain figures showing what class
Of incomes are to be served by the
public housing, and what rentals
per room, per month, are to be
charged.
In all other respects, Mr.. Key
eer1ing said today, the plans sub
mitted by the alley dwelling au-
thority are excellent. But, he ex-
blamed, under the law, the Hous-
ing Authority must serve the low
est income group practical, and
that on the face of it the Dis
trict's application for $4,000 900
could not reach the lowest third
of the income groups; and prob
ably would result in rentals that
could be afforded by families with
incomes of approximately $1,000,
whereas the authority aims at serv-
ing families with incomes Of ap-
proXimately $1,000.
81 PER ROOM IDEAL
MI. Keyserling explained that
low rents were running from a
little less than SO per room upI
to about $5.18 per month for a
room in New York city. He said
that the ideal for Washington,
D. c.. would be somewhere in the
neighborhood Of 81 per room per
month, rather than SO.
