Prof. Wutz Claims New
Facts on Hebrew Bible
•.
REVOLUTION FORESEEN THRU
RESEARCH WORK OF
THE BIBLE.
LEIPSIC, May 19.—(iP)—A revolu
tion in Bible research work is fore
seen by the investigation, published
in book form, of Prof. Frank Wutz,
of the Eichstatt Bishopric Lyceum,
entitled “New Facts on the Septua
ginta and Hebrew Bible.”
The current version that the Greek
Alexandrian translation of the Old
Testament, known as the Septuagin
ta, is derived from the original He
brew text seems to be shattered by
the theory of Prof. Wutz. The au
thor is taken very seriously by bib
lical scholars, even those whose fa
vorite theory he confutes by his
statements, as, for instance, the
well known exponent of the Old Tes
tament, Rudolf Kittel.
Prof. Wutz now comes out with
the new ahd somewhat startling
statement that the Septuaginta is
largely a reproduction of Hebrew
words written with Greek letters. He
claims to have discovered that as
early as 200 B.C. Jewish scholars
utilized Greek-Hebrew texts for their
translations into Greek. These trans
, scriptions, he believes, furnished not
[only an elucidation of the Septuaginta
I—a feat hitherto considered impossi
ble—but also open up an entirely
new vista in old biblical literature.
An authority like Kittel recognizes
| in these discoveries of Wutz a like
jly means of arriving at the much
sought-for original Hebrew text of
the Old Testament.

AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES
MIGRATE ANNUALLY
TO DISTANT ICELAND
ENTOMOLOGIST STUDIES HABITS
OF “PAINTED LADY” IN
OTHER LANDS
LONDON, May 19.—(JP)—T h e
Painted Lady butterfly is as fond of
travel over sea and land as she is
of her gorgeous coloring. He hus
band, too. lige migratory flights and,
according to scientific reasearchers,
these butterflies in great numbers
have been known to make journeys
from Turkey to England.
C. B. Williams, chief entomologist
of the Egyptian ministry of agricul
ture, who has been studying the hab
its of the Painted Lady for several
years, gave an account of his work
in a recent issue of Nature. The
butterfly of this species, he believes,
originates somewhere in the south
or southeast of the long line of des
ert stretching across North Africa
and Asia Minor, 2,000 or 3,000 miles
from England. They leave the des
ert early in the spring and arrive in
the vicinity of the southern shores
of the Mediterranean usually about
April. From Palestine they appear
to fly through Syria and Turkey to
the Balkan states, and from Egypt,
Tripoli and Algeria they cross to
southern Europe. All during the
flight straglers and weaklings are
dropped out of the swarms and left
behind.
By the more hardy fliers England
is reached late in May or early in
June, Scotland a week or so later,
and here many of them spend the
summer. The Painted Lady, those
which originate in the desert coun
try, have been seen in Iceland in
July, some 4,000 miles from their
starting place.
■Whether in crossing great stret
ches of water they continue flying
all night or rest on floating masses
in the water has not- yet been de
termined. Neither is it known, so
far as Mr. Williams was able to as
certain, whether a return journey
is made.
Britain’s Trade Prospects
Painted in Dismal Colors
EVERYBODY MUST COOPERATE
IN ORDER TO FIND
PROPER SOLUTION
LONDON, May 19.—(/P)—A gloomy
view of Britain’s trade outlook was
expressed by Sir Robert Horne at a
recent dinner of the British Over
seas Banks Association. He said he
had just come back from a journey
abroad, which had taken some few
months, and he was of the opinion
“that we are in a worse position to
day than we were six months ago,
and that was bad enough. If we look
at the staple trades of the country
we cannot help having a feeling of
anxiety and apprehension as to the
future.”
Sir Robert referred to the state of
the shipbuilding, coal, heavy steel,
woollen and cotton trades, and said
it was his deliberate belief that ev
ery section of society had to com
bine to find some solution of the
problem, otherwise there was no
hope for the country.
German Workers Warned
of Dangers Hard Liquor
PROHIBITION MOVEMENT RAPID
LY GAINING GROUND IN
WORKING CLASSES
BERLIN, May 19.—(JP)—That the
movement for prohibition in Ger
many is rapidly gaining ground
among the working classes is indi
cated by a number of Socialist par
ty leaders, most of whom are mem
bers of the Reichstag.
The document declares that “the
working class is the worst sufferer
from the effects of alcoholism.” It
admonishes the workers to “keep
alcohol away from all your meet
ings, sessions, and demonstrations,
and establish people’s houses and
hotels that sell ttd liquor. Reduce
the possibility of obtaining liquor
wherever you can do so, and conduct
intensive educational work concern
ing the harm done by alcohol.”
Gateway want-ads bring results.
Michigan is making a bid for tall
visitors. Hotel bed sheets must be
99 inches long, according to a bill
which recently passed the house of
representatives.
