Beer Is Very Old

Historically, beer is of great an
tiquity. Tt was manufactured by
the Egyptians and by the Greeks.
Romans and ancient Gauls. The
Romans are supposed to have intro
duced the art of brewing into Brit
ain, the only intoxicating beverages
used by the Britons previous to the
Roman conquest being mead and
cider. Ale seems to have been the
current name in England for malt
liquor in general before the intro
duction Of the use of hops from
Germany about 1924

Hoaxes
g
Wolff Wolf!
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
Is @ Western Newspaper Union.

TOR several years, just as regu-
larly as winter came around,
press association dispatches carried
the news about hunters up in Cam
ada having to fight for their lives
against packs of ferocious timber
wolves. In fact, a winter without
such a wolf story was like a winter
without Christmas and Santa Claus.
And strangely enough all of these
stories came from the town of Al
gonna.
And then when the whole nation
had become thoroughly "wolf-con-
scious' (and "Algoma-conscious")
j. W.. Curran, editor of the Sault
Ste. Marie Daily Star, confessed
that it was all a hoax. He had at
temped to interest outside newspa-
pers in the resources of the Algoma
wilderness and had failed. So he
turned to wolves to help him. The
non-existent ferocious beasts turned
the trick.
Tourists were attracted to the
area in increasing numbers. Even
the discovery there of low grade
iron ore deposits as the result of
the provincial governments offer
ing a bounty for developing iron
ore beds is credited to the wolf
campaign.
But after awhile Mr.. Curran be-
came tired of hearing his paper
called the ''Wolf Gazette" He had
accomplished his purpose and in
an editorial he exposed the hoax.
He said, "Any man who says he
was ct by a wolf is a liar" Then
he offered a $500 reward for any
one who could claim that an Algoma
man had been attacked by wolf.
That reward is still standing for no
one has yet tried to collect the $500.
There are wolves in that region but
it seems that they're not as fierce
as the ''Wolf Gazette" once claimed
they were.

The Archko Volume

TN 1879 Rev. W. D. Mahan, a Cum
4 berland Presbyterian minister of
Boonville, Mo-, published a book
called ''The Archko Volume" It
purported to be an official report of
the trial and death of Jesus Christ,
made directly to the Emperor Tt
berius by Pontius PLATE, governor
of Judea, which Mahan asserted he
had obtained from the Vatican in
Rome.
Its authenticity was Immediately
attacked but Mahan defended his
work so vigorously that many peo-
pie were convinced that it was genu-
inc. Later he expanded the book
with the addition of other docu-
ments, giving many new 'facts'
about the life of Christ. These, he
asserted, he had obtained in the
Vatican and in Constantinople.
Since that time the Archko VOL
ume has been reprinted in many
different editions in many different
cities; it has been translated into
foreign languages and thousands of
copies of it have been sold all over
the: world. Despite the fact that
DR.. Edgar J. Goodspeed of the Uni
wersity of Chicago, an eminent au-
thority on early Christian literature,
has proved that the book is fake
from beginning to end, many people
still believe it authentic. And
strangely enough an original print
ing of this fake is now considered
a rarity and a valuable piece Of
Americana, and several copies have
been sold for as much as $50 each.
A Bath for Miss Liberty
ITO THE city editor of every New
= York newspaper several years
ago came an announcement from
the American Patriotic League
that the Statue of Liberty was going
to be given a bath. It had been de-
cided that the film of dust and
smoke from passing steamers must
be removed from Bartholdi's IA
NOUS statue but in order to avoid
possible injury to the metal, the an
nouncement said, a new supersuds
solution would be used.
The story, printed in all tn epa-
pers, was picked UP by the press
associations and carried all over
the country. Immediately the coll
umnists and newspaper paragraph
ers began making wisecracks about
Miss Liberty's bath and it became
one Of the leading topics of the day.
But when an inquiry about the pro-
posed. bath was made at the War
department, which then had juris-
dictions over Bedloe's island, Of
ficials there said they knew nothing
about the, matter. Then one New
York editor Became suspicious. He
dug up the original announcement
and looked at the address Of the
American Patriotic League"
BY q strange coincidence it was
the same address as that Of an ad-
vertising agency handling publicity
for a soap company that was ready
to put new soap product on the
markell

HISTORY

A shipment of watches arrived al
North Redwood. Minnesota. back in the
year 1886 and was not wanted by the
jeweler there. The jeweler was a care
ful and conservative man and did not
propose 20 take the chance OF beeom-
ing OVerstoeked. The incident. not a
particularly spectacular ono. provided
the setting for the origin Of the World S
Largest Store. .-,
The station agent at North Redwood
was young Richard w. Sears. The
watches looked like opportunity to him.
He gained permission from the whole-
sale company that shipped the watches
10 dispose OF them. He wanted 10 get
the railroad company its express
charges and also to make little spare

The young man hit upon the scheme
Of trying TO sell the watches by mail
and sent letters to railroad men he
knew. The watches went like hot
cakes and young Sears found himself
with powerful merchandising idea. He
Immediately started developing II and
soon was doing a surprising amount OF
mail order business In his spare-time.
Ih few months. the spare-time job
had attained an importance far greater
than thot attached to his duties with

gained recognition for ability strictly on
his own merits. So is was NO; remark
able that In 1920, when the huge mail
order plant In Philadelphia was built,
that he was selected 10 take charge.
But before this big chance came to him,
he had served as a first-class seaman

World War.
