Recently a lecturer from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, addressing a Berlin audience, declared that a tomb had been discovered at Jerusalem which bore the Aramaic inscription, “Jeshua Bar Jehoseph,” meaning “Jesus, Son of Joseph.” The speaker, however, ,was careful not to offer his own;j opinion that the tomb was that of Christ. Little is known accurately concerning the tomb | of Jesus. Early Christian records make little men- tion of it and the Bible itself pays scant attention to it. The only definite description is found :n the Gospel according to St. John. Matthew, Mark and Luke content themselves with referring to the/ tomb without giving its location and pass directly on to the Resurrection. St. John fixes the location on or near the hilli of Golgotha, scene of the Crucifixation. “Now in| the place where He was crucified,” the text says, | “there was a garden, and in the garden a new | sepulcher where never man yet was laid. There they laid Jesus, therefore, because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulcher was nigh at| hand.” I | However, since the fourth century after Christ the accepted location of the tomb is the spot around which the Church of the Holy Sepulcher was built | by Constantine, First Christian Emperor of Rome. | | stay. { view. | League established. | outcome | Wilson accepted a treaty which violated !doctrine they have all adopted. ‘has been insisting that the problem is wide of the | ment.” the arrival of President Wilson.

A fourth inaugural by a Governor in this coun-| try properly should be an occasion. Particularly is) this so when the terms have been successive.

YEAR'S RAINFALL SHORT BY BILLIONS OF TONS. The summer rainfall east of the Rocky Moun- tains in 1930 was approximately 500,000,000,000 tons short of normal, the Weather Bureau of the United | States Department of Agriculture says. Six trillion five hundred billion tons is the approximate normal | rainfall for the continental United States for one year. If man had tried to irrigate the land with the old-fashioned well pump, to make up last sum- mer's water deficiency, he would have been forced with the problem of providing about 7% gallons per minute throughout the summer season for ecach man, woman, and child in the United States. Each citizen would have had to import 22 helpers from abroad and keep them working the pump handles in 8-hour shifts throughout the season, each pump- ing a gallon a minute, to give the land a normal water supply. To express this more understand- ingly, it is pointed out that the deficiency in rain- fall in the Ohio Valley last summer represented, on the average, a water shortage of more than 50,000 tons for each 100-acre farm, or some 600 tons per day for the entire summer season. Prof. C. F. Marvin, Chief of the Weather Bureau, says that insignificant man tries less prac- tical devices than even the hand pump to simulate the colossal processes of nature when he advocates artificial means for producing precipitation to break a drought. He thinks the would-be rainmaker may well ponder the enormity of forces that can give or withhold some 120,000,000,000,000 gallons of water in a summer season before attempting to compensate for nature’s shortcomings. LUDWIG PORTRAYS WILSON. Woodrow Wilson's greatest strugkle—his. fight o | write his famous 14 points into the Versailles Treaty—and Wilson, himself, are written into living drama by Emil Ludwig, famous German biographer, whose depictations of Napoleon, Bismarck and the former German Emperor have won deserved world- wide fame. The play is entitled “Versailles,” and its principal character is the American President who gave his life for an ideal—the League of Na tions. It was his labors at the Versailles parleys and, later, his fight at home in a futile effort to bring the United States into the League that under- mined his health and undoubtedly shortened his life by years. The theme of the drama is Wilson's fight for his ideals at the Versailles conference—a conflict Jetween the ideals of his famous fourteen points and the provisions of the secret treaties contracted among the Allies. President Wilson s presented as a tragic figure caught in the meshes of treaties of which he was ignorant until the United States entered the war, and struggling with only incom- plete success against the diplomatists of the Euro- pean powers as well as against opposition at home. The three leading figures of the conference— Wilson, Clemenceau and Lloyd George—are por- trayed as pushed by conflicting demands in their free to settle its local problems in con- formity with the needs of its people, who should be unhampered by an excess of gov- ernment from within and by undue Federal supervision or interference from without. | On the tariff; "on the failure of Government plans to aid the farmer; on Prohibition; on the series of “inflationary statements and actions which invited, or at least intensified, the crash of 1929” Mr. Ritchie arraigns the Administration and the Republican Party. “There have been,” he thinks, “too many noble experiments.” But now he feels that business, with government, has learned a| lesson and not soon hereafter will “the carefully considered advice of a thousand economists be treat- ed with political contempt.” Business must recog-| nize, he insists, that the problem of unemployment is its own and does not belong to the State. Hav-| * ing worked out compensation for physical injury, it should and can evolve a plan to deal with this other injury to workers. For the first time in) | BROADCASTS it? |reasons.

Confidence is being regained. There is plenty of money and plenty of opportunities, says this sage of one of the Nation's vital industries.

This is the wish and determination of his fellows in the auto-i" mobile game. They are proceeding along this line. | As Mr. Nash sees it, the year will see “double the number of old automobiles scrapped over any previous year." This is signifcant. In the .view of Mr, Nash‘ this great business, now interrelated with practi-| cally all business, will reach the highest and| |soundest degree of prosperity that the people have | ever experienced.
