Page Three.
Largest Bible That Was Ever Made
0
Louis Waynai, a Los Angeles carpenter, recently completed what is
said to be the largest Bible in the world. Using a hand stamping ma
chine which he constructed himself, he stamped into the three-foot pages
of the book every separate letter, symbol and punctuation mark in the
Bible, using as a pattern his own family book. The pages of the book, of
which there are 8,048, are bound with metal and weigh 1,094 pounds. A
comparative cize of the Bible is obtainable in this photograph of Waynai,
•howing it to some children.

New American Opera
New American Opera, Edward
Johnson’s first production of a na
tive work in his two years as mana
ger is due to reach the metropolitan
opera in a fortnight—probably Jan
uary 30. The opera, Richard Hoge-
man’s “ Caponsaschi ” has Lawrence
Tibbett in the title role and perhaps
Helen Jepson in the feminine lead.
Mr, Tibbett has been busy with
study and rehearsal. In last week’s
revival of “The Tales of Hoffman,”
he sang four roles and learned at the
same time the role of Caponsacchi.
IN THE MANNER OF
McIntyre
Tiresome, this eternal rain . . . .
Sublime, the sunshine last Saturday
morning .... Appalling, the number
of people remaining on the campus
these week-ends .... Becoming, the
new curls worn by the Seniors (Jo
Klutz, Carolyn Raekcliffe)
Snitzy, Mary Louise Haywood’s now
convertable coupe .... intriguing.
Prances Salley’s new Tyrolean jack
et Enjoyable, the Junior Frolic
. . . . Something to look forward to,
the opening of the new gym . . . .
Pun, basket-ball practice these
dreary afternoons .... Something
to envy, the tiny feet of Mary Wood
ruff and Sara Stevens .... Some
thing you musn’t miss, the 1937
Follies in which Lizzie Trotman and
a number of other Salem girls are
hoofing .... Hair-raising, the one-
act play given at The Little Theatre
meeting Thursday, night .... Re
lief, no Salemite next week.

Budapest — Wlien a man bites a
dog, that’s news; but when a rabbit
shoots a man, that’s colossal. It
hapjened recently to Alex Vessey,
hunlhig with a friend. The friend
WJunded a rabbit and placed his gun
on the ground to pick up the animal.
The rabbit wiggled out of his hands;
jumped on the loaded weapon; re
leased the trigger. The charge went
into Vessey’s leg.

The spots appear with age.

ARE COMPANIONS!
No truer statement could be made. Only one
thing can result from poor light — eyestrain. Most
people do not realize that eyestrain causes a drain
of nervous energy which results in headaches,
fatigue, and other bodily harm. You can prevent
this.
