IL Scholars Named to Reuise
Bible First Time Since 1901

lated from original manuscripts and
the King James version, and is used
widely in the churches and colleges
Of the denominations that compose
the council. There are many private
Bible translations, such as DR.. Edgar
Goodspeed's and James Moffatt's, used
mainly for individual reading and
study.
What errors have been found in
the American standard version?" DR..
Irwin was asked.
1T is marred by one very serious
mistake" he said. THE American
version has rendered the name of the
God OF Israel as Jehovah, word
that has no ancient support, that
does not in the least represent the
original pronunciation, but arose in
medieval times through ignorance Of
feature Of the Hebrew text. It is
the unanimous decision Of the pres
ent Committee of Revisers to restore
the expression, the Lord, which has
the sanction of more than 2,000 years
of use, first In Jewish and then in
Christian circles, and Is certainly
much richer in religious feeling and
suggestion"
DR.. Irwin said the present day
knowledge of the Hebrew and Greek
language enables us to understand
more truly the thought of the orig
inal writer's"
The committee, divided into Old
and New Testament sections, will meet
twice q year.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY
LAUDEDBY CAPPER|
Suffrage Fight Linked to
D. c. Drive for Vote by
Senator in Speech.

Senator Arthur Capper Of Kansas
today classed Susan B. Anthony with
Washington and Lincoln as the great
emancipators OF the American people
in a speech at ceremonies marking
presentation Of portrait Of the great
feminist to the Woodrow Wilson High
School.
Senator Capper also linked Miss
Anthony's 58-year fight for enfran-
chisement of women with that of
Washingtonians for similar rights.
Il am very happy over the results
OF Saturdays unofficial vote in the
District and hope it will not be long
before Congress will agree that it is
the right Of the people Of this city
to vote" the Senator said.
The portrait, which has been hung
in headquarters Of suffrage groups,
languishing in storage and sold at
public auction, was presented by Mrs.
Anna E. Hendley, former president of
the Susan B. Anthony League, to Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle. president of the
Board Of Education, who in turn pre-
sented 1t to Norman Nelson, principal
OF Woodrow Wilson High School.
Was School Teacher.
The high school was chosen as the
proper place for Jerome K. Uhls paint
ing because Miss Anthony was a
teacher and because it was through
a personal appeal to Congress by Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson that the nine
teenth amendment to the Constitution
was passed by the Senate in 1918, Mrs.
Hendley said. For many years the
portrait hung in the Anthony room of
the National Woman Suffrage League
now the National League of Women
Voters, but was placed in storage when
league headquarters on Rhode Island
avenue NV. we're abandoned.
Some years later Mrs. Hendley was
notified it, was to be sold at public
auction. She rose from a sick bed
and canvassed for funds to pay for
the portrait She raised SIS, which
was not enough, but as a result Of a
speech made to those attending the
auction they took up a subscription
ana tne picture was saved.
Mrs. Hendley, in her presentation
speech. also noted that, while Miss
Anthony's work had enfranchised
everyone else in the United States,
the District still lacked any say what
ever in its government.
Hopes for Vote In D. C.
with four living generations OF
non-voters in my family. even though
I worked with Miss Anthony so that
others might have a right to 20 to the
polls, I hope live long enough to see
the work Of Susan B. Anthony bear
frult in the National Capital" she
said.
Mrs. Doyle said she hoped the great
number Of girls in the school were
able to realize what Miss Anthony
had done for them.
Besides the portrait, Mrs. Hendlev
presented The Great Woman States
man." a short biography Of Miss An
thony, by Nanette B. Paul, for use of
the schools library.
Among those present at the cere-
mony were Miss Adelaide johnson.

C0YLE, SHORT ARGUE
CONCEPTS THRIFT
Economist Urges Saving of
Resources by Investment.
Legislator Hits Spending.

Different concepts Of thrift were ex-
pounded by David Cushman Coyle,
economist, and Representative Dewey
Short, Republican. of Missouri, at a
public forum sponsored by the Thrift
and Security Foundation in the Com
merce Department Auditorium last
night.
Mr.. Coyle urged the principle of
saving by investment, which he con-
tended involved Government spending
for conservation and development of
natural resources and on projects 20
promote the security of individual
Americans, while Mr. Short argued
that prosperity never can be restored
until the orgy" of Government spend
ing ends.
ITO our ancestors thrift meant not
saving money. but saving things" Mr.
Coyle said. To-day thrift has changed
into saving money, which means saw
ing claims against goods owned by
some one else The effect of this is to
prevent the owner Of the goods from
selling them. Such thrift stops pro-
duction at its source.
ITO overcome this paralyzing effect
Of thrift the standard way is invest
ment. Money invested is paid out for
construction OF capital goods and Gre
ates employment. The problem is how
to get security without requiring more
investments than business can supply"
Mr.. Short insisted that the Gov
eminent cannot produce a permanent
prosperity by spending borrowed
money. mo government can give to
its people anything it does not take
from them" he said. Generations yet
unborn will unfortunately inherit this
legacy of lunacy and debt.

CHICAGO, May "A group Of
distinguished theologians undertook
today monumental five-year task
of revising the Bible to give IAN Of
flcial version embodying the best re-
suits Of modern scholarship"
The revision. projected by the In
ternational Council of Religious Ed
ucation, will be the first since 1901
when the American standard version
was published.
DR.. William A. Irwin of the Uni
versity of Chicago. one Of IL scholars
chosen to do the work, said in a spe-
cial interview that the revision was
undertaken because some words and
phrases of the King James version
published in 1911, are obscure If not
actually unintelligible to the modern
reader.
When the King James version was
produced it was great achievement
Of Biblical scholarship" DR.. Irwin
said. And it continues one Of the
literary treasures Of our language,
coming as 1t does from the age of
Shakespeare and Milton.
But what can the modern reader
make Of the information, for exam
pie, that the onyx stones on the shoul-
ders Of the high priests robe were
inclosed in touches Of gold or that
the golden candlestick was adorned
with 'knops'?"

is composed of representatives off.
