It required 15 more years before Tichendorf could locate and secure all the treasure. He was assisted In the work by Tsar Alexander II of Russia to whom the manuscripts were presented. The religious world is gratified by the transfer of the Codex Sinaiticus from Russia to the British Museum where its preservation is assured and where, by the aid of infra-red photography which can render legible passages hitherto Indecipherable, it is hoped new evidence on the evolution of the Bible may be discovered. Adventures in the Library POETS THE ONLY SANE PEOP1.R FEW ARTICLES of faith are more tenaciously held by the average person than the one which asserts that all poets are a little crazy. The only objection the average man has to that statement is that It isn't strong enough.

The mental abnormality of the poet, even of the great poet Is so much taken for granted that it Is not even considered arguable. But Alfred Noyea, himself a distinguished poet, not only argues the point but boldly asserts that poets are saner than other people than business men for instance. (This last is not nearly as hard to believe today as It was five years ago.) In a recent statement Noyea said among UWv-Vm V. Via- 3Kf 7ZTYrft. I A CODE FOR SERVANT GIRLS A CODE for servant girls is now in the hands of General Johnson.

It proposes a six-day week and the eight-hour day. If It goes through the housewives of America will send up a wall that will make the general accept all previous squawks as mere whispers. Put the servant girl on an eight-hour day and you practically make her employer do the housework. Eight hour have passed before the average maid gets the living room swept and the piano dinted.

other things: "Poetry does not mean going demented. The great effects of verse are produced by lucidity, simplicity, and a real order of the mind." Notice that phrase, "a real order of the mind" Noyes seems to suggest that poets are closer to reality than other people, A few years ago another distinguished American poet, the late Amy Lowell, vigorously made a similar argument. Her well known "Life of Keats" sets forth the thesis that John Keats was one of the sanest men Eng- land has produced, that not only was 1 he not slightly demented, moonstruck, I crazy, balmy, or whatever term the prosaic scorner of the poet prefers but that he had a better organized, 1 a saner mind than nine-tenths of the business men of his time tfho looked down upon him as a fool. And It must be confessed that Amy Lowell makes out a strange case for her thesis. Turning from theory to an actual rase.

It will probably be admitted that Robert Frost is one of the great- est poets that America has produced in the twentieth century. Yet any one who should assert that Robert Frost Is less sane than the Mitchells and the Instills and all the thousands all over America who are only pale copies oft hose alleged captains of industry, should himself be committed to a hospital for the mentally disordered.

The purpose of the new federal order that ail gold and gold certificates, except a few lawful exceptions, must be turned into the treasury, is not openly disclosed. It means, however, a drastic tightening of the government's regulations by eliminating the $100 exemption. Indications point to some new movement in the government's monetary program which the treasury hesitates to put into effect until the large amount of gold coin, bullion and certificates still in circulation are brought under government control. On November 30. $311,044,965 In gold and $217,486,829 in gold certificates were still In circulation.

While these amounts are less by $260,000,000 in gold and in gold certificates than were in circulation on February 8 last, the amounts are sufficient to provide a handsome profit to the government should it decide, as seems probable, to seize such profit as the result of the eventual devaluation of the dollar. The near unanimity with which gold was surrendered to the government by the people discloses at once their love of country and concern for their nation's welfare, and their willingness to sacrifice their own articles of value for the public weal. It is not going to be easy to find a basis for sustaining the act of congress compelling the surrender of gold. Those who are contesting the law as extra-legal, appear to be armed with formidable arguments. When the government can direct a man to give up one form of property at what barrier may it be stopped? It is not unlikely that this legislation will fail because there Is no authority for it In the constitution.

An attempt to amend the constitution would reveal plainly, and perhaps to the great dissatisfaction of men who support a good many bubbly theories, that the people might consent to voluntarily give up but never consent to place a power in congress to force them to give up. "They 11 have to come by four In the afternoon, ma'am." Hilda will insist, flatly. "Couldn't you compromise and say five?" Mrs. Buckingham will plead. "I couldn't possibly cook and serve and still quit at five if the guests came at four." Hilda will argue.

"You can ask your guests when you like, but I'll have to quit promptly between the fish and the filet mignon, and they'll have to turn in and help you clear the dishes away." It looks like trouble. Maybe out of the servant girl's code will come the first great crisis of the New Deal. THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS TO CONGRESS. The President's address to the congress was necessarily confined to generalities. But even these were divided into two great classes which properly set off the national picture for us.

One class deals with measures that are temporary, and change from day to day, as conditions alter. The other is by far more important. It is fundamental. It has to do with the cornerstone of our national edifice. There must be nothing of expediency about it.

It cannot be of a gingerbread variety nor constructed haphazardly. To this latter, and important, proposition the President addresses these words: "The unnecessary expansion of Industrial plants, the waste of natural resources, the exploitation of the consumers of natural monopolies, the accumulation of stagnant surpluses, child labor, and the ruthless exploitation of all labor, the encouragement of speculation with other people's money, these were consumed in the fires that they themselves kindled: we must make sure that as we reconstruct our life there be no soil In which such weeds can grow again." Is the President's concluding sentence Just a flourish of fine rhetoric or is it a carefully turned thought, a reflective conclusion based upon the study of the practical affairs of mankind? Insullism, so-called, in no danger of advancing its lines during times like these. Conditions are not ripe. But what will prevent it when they are? So far but one measure of major importance, the Securities Act, has been advanced to accomplish the desired purpose. Prac HIGH HAT IV A SHOE-HAT CLEANING WINDOW Twinkle, twinkle, little hat.

His object in all his lectures on Shakespeare. Coleridge says, has been to "prove that, in all points, from the most important to the most minute, the judgment of Shakespeare Is commensurate with his genius." That is merely the somewhat quaint early nineteen'h century way of saying that Shakespeare's horse-sense was as well developed as his ability to write poetry.

Since there are more non-poets than poets the former can safely call the latter crazy.

But words, however melodious, will not do it. The very program which the President sponsors is in great danger today. It faces the danger that menaces every great movement, however clean and humanitarian, of degeneration, by processes of hysteria, to absolute zero. All such movements, history as well as our own experience warns us, are accompanied by too many shouters and too little thought, too much effort to shut off cautious criticism and too little effort to sustain policies that appear of great merit but require great work.

In EWYORK BY JIM BI.ANSHARD WASHINGTON Mrs. Roosevelt's great gift for being ut- ceiverships set up to conserve the interests of creditors and stockholders should be above reproach. Yet In a hearing at Chicago in which the character of certain of these receiverships was under examination, Attorney Samuel A.

Ettleson declared to the court: "The receivership was framed by plain, do vnright jugglery, not on the part of shyster lawyers, but by prominent lawyers, big bankers and business men." And the court" found ample evidence to sustain the charge and did sustain it. Within recent months we have discovered that many things have been framed and many questionable practices pursued by big business men and bankers, usually with the technical aid of lawyers who were generally considered of high standing In their profession. Only a short time ago we were given to understand, too, by the American Bar Association that extraordinary efforts would be made to purge the legal profession of shyster lawyers who were not averse to assisting shady clients In escaping justice. It is apparent that the shyster lawyers are not all engaged in ministering to the affairs of bootleggers, gangsters and racketeers. There would seem to be need of including In the Bar Association's attempt at purgation an investigation of thoseilawyers and their clients whose nefarious business is transacted by more subtle methods than violence.

All of Mr. Roosevelt's public life indicates the sincerity of his expressed purpose of ridding the nation of what he calls its weeds. It is a glorious purpose.

But, we repeat, it is a purpose that is most often defeated by its very enthusiasm. SO THEY SAY! Those who laughed were wromir.

Along or near the waters of America's great inland seas a natural interest has been aroused over the news item that the President was about, by executive order, to terminate the independent status of the Coast Guard as a separate unit and immerse, and lose it, in the navy. Men In both branches of this service through generations of good discipline have become reluctant to discuss such a matter, considering it of a political nature "and theirs not to reason why," so the public must deal with it by debating inferences and reflections and considering possibilities. The first inquiry is: Where Is the advantage? Denial is made that there Is any financial advantage to the government, or If so, one of such a slight nature as hardly to justify changing a policy that has lasted for so many generations. The intimation that the change is fostered by the purpose of making room for Annapolis graduates who cannot now be placed, is the most sinister and the most prevalent explanation. It will hardly be assumed that those already In the Coast Guard, and who have built up certain rights through years of faithful sprvice, will be displaced to make way for newcomers.

Purchase by the British government of the Codex Sinaiticus from Soviet Russia is rated by rare book dealers and collectors as the greatest transaction in the history of printed or written antiquities. The price, $510,000, is the largest ever paid for a printed book or manuscript. The Codex Sinaiticus, beautifully written on 148 pages of parchment, is one of the three original Greek Bible texts extant and upon which the present Bible is based.

It dates from the fourth century. Another fourth century manuscript is In the Vatican and is known as the Codex Vaticanus. The third Greek text which dates from the fifth century is the Codex Alexandrinus owned by the British Museum. The oldest known Hebrew text of the Old Testament is dated 918 A. D.
