This particular version gets its name because it says that Adam and Eve made themselves “breeches” of figleaves, instead of “aprons,” as the King James Version translates it. No perfect copy of the Bible has ever been printed, according to one of the officials of the American Bible Society. Misspelled words and other errors appear in every direc tion. The Authorized Version of uhe Bible as it was first published in 1611 would be hard reading today. Modern Bibles follow modern spell ing, but in the time of King James the Bible appeared with such spell ing as “Forgiue vs our det'tes as we forgiue cure detters.” The simplification and moderniz ing of the Bible goes on steadily and at least two complete new transla tions have recently come out, but the stately pharases of the Author ized Version have become so much a part of the common speech of English-speaking people that it is unlikely the new phraseology will The Worst Spot On the Road f>y Albert 7.

COLLEGES . . . and women— The demand for college-trained women in business is one of the in teresting developments of nodern times. Talking recently with die head of one of the largest depart ment stores in America, he said that the only way he had found to obtain salespeople and clerks of di.. high degree of intelligence and character his store required was to employ only college women, when they could be got. Colleges for women are new things; the oldest is less than sev enty-five years old. They had to fight their way in the face of a general prejudice against educating girls. They have always been “Hard up,” having to make a dol lar do the work of three, while men’s colleges have obtained large endowments. Now the seven lead ing women’s colleges have united in an appeal for financial aid in car rying on the work of giving girls an equal chance with boys. It takes courage and faith to try to raise a fund of thirty million dol lars in times like these. If it were men who were trying I would say they hadn’t a chance. But when women start after something they usually get it, so I have hopes that Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holy oke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar and Wellesley will find their money somewhere. TAXES . . . the Georgia way— What usually happens when the politicians in control of the reins of government find that there is a surplus of tax income over neces sary expenses, is that they create a lot of new jobs and so find ways to spend more than the revenues. The city of Fairburn, Georgia, seems to be in the hands of a dif ferent sort of officials. Finding it self with a surplus of $5,000 in the municipal treasury, enough to run the city for a year, it has declared all taxes off for a year. Did anybody ever hear of any thing like that before? I never did. BANKS . . . and social service— I was sitting in the president’s office of the little country bank where I do business when the cash ier came in. A village man who had had a lot of sickness in his family, and was being pressed for doctor’s and othjer bills, wanted to borrow fifty dollars. “He’s honest?” asked the presi dent. “Absolutely,” the cashier re- plied,. “Got a job?” “Works for the town.” “Find out how much he owes in all, and let him have what he needs to clestn up,'up to a hundred dol lars,” said the president. “Take his note and tell hjm to pay what he can when it’s due and we’ll renew the rest. And, John,” the presi dent added, as the cashier turned to go, “you can handle any other cases of the sort the same way.” That’s real banking, because it’s human banking. Big banks that have to delegate all their functions to clerks, and lay down rules which must not be departed from can’t lend on anything but gilt-edged listed securities, but the sound, small bank serves a social need which requires the personal touch of the responsible head. EMANATIONS ... the evil eye— Science is constantly discovering that so-called superstitions and an cient folk-myths have their founda tions in fact. That is, after all, to be expected, since ihese beliefs are the result of countless centuries of human observation. The reasons popularly held for many observed phenomena may be, and usually are, wrong; the facts at which in telligent people once scoffed often turn out to be true. The latest superstition to receive scientific confirmation is the “evil eye.” The belief that some person can affect the physical condition of others by merely staring at them has long been held in the Mediter ranean countries. Professor Otto Rahn of Cornell University told a meeting of scientists the other day that he had discovered that die human eye gives off emana- ions, apparently of the nature of jltra-violet rays, which are power- :ul enough to kill certain low forms of life, such as yeast cells. What is more probable than that some very sensitive persons might oe affected by these rays given off oy the eyes of an individual in vhom this power is highly develop- d?
