WHALE COULD

llll. HANSON HARVY. '
NEll'POIlT NEWS. \'a._ Aug. 10.
atfiontet now a man of“ science to
defend the l-‘undamcntalist interpro.
lotion of the Bible by declaring that
tho famous story of Jonah and the
whale is just as broad as it in long.
Critics, of .Iliblival accuracy have
long pounced on this story as a line
account of something that never
took place. and couldn‘t. .
The whalo’s gullot, they have
pointed out. is so small that even a
grossly nnderfod Jonah could never
have passed down it for a three-day
sojourn in tho monstvr‘s stomach.
But Dr. lansom llarvy. member
of the. faculty of. William and Mary
College. rises to defend the old story
by declaring that. while Jonah un-
doubtedly never gained access to the
whale/6 stomach. it would have been
a simple matter for the whale to en-
gulf him and carry him about. alive
and unharmed. for three days.
The interest roused by the recent
Tennessee evolution trial led Dr.
llarvy to make this explanation.
"The whole has a large mouth find
'a, small gullot. guarded by narrow,
plates of \vhalvbone,” ’ he says.
“’l‘brough this throat only thosmull-
est animalcttlos can pass. tut if the
whale arts 3. larger tlsh into his
month he tucks it away into the. air
chamber in which he stores a sur-
plus of air for use while (living.
"This chamber is somewhat. Simi-
lar to the sinus in human. it is 1‘4
feet long by 7 foot wide in a large
whale. and in it a man might live
for several days.
"A dog: was lost overboard by a.
whulor in the Bering Sea once, and
was found alive in the air chamber
of u. whale captured seven days later.
“in the ovr-nt that a whalo‘ does
take on an objoct too large to swal-
low or to expel through the nostril.
he must keep it in that air chamber
until he can swim to shallow wate;
and got his head above the surface.
Then he can easily get rid of it.
"if Jonah were thrown overboard
and were swimming it is quite pos-
sible that a whale (.‘illlli‘ along: with
his mouth open and gained him in.
He would immediately have been
thrust up in that. air chamber, where
\tltcre would be air for him to live on
even longer than three days. And it
is no task for a man to go three
days without food.
"This story may be a parable or it
may be an account of :1. real happen-
ing. but: it must be admitted. in the
light of this information. that it is
not so absurd as to be used to dis-
' prove the lt‘tblo narrative. It seems
rather to me that it shows that the
writer of the book of Jonah had some
source of revelation that made him
better informed than some of his
readers of this civilized age."

Edw. D: Gray Tells ”of
Their Trials and
Problems Trying to
Clinib the Ladder
NEW YORK. Aug. 1.——Thirty
thousand boys. most of them under
17. are growing up initho aux-lieu
canyons of steel and brick that
the world known as Well street.
Fed by Horati’o Alger tales and the
myriad stories or great success. a
nover’ending stream flows from ev-
ery point. on the American map in-
to the narrow. darkened thorough.
fares of the money center.
Four hundred may be found daily
scurrying like ants as runners for
the Stock Exchange. The other
thousands are office boys in broker-
age or banking or insurance con-
cerns—each with a dream of suture
financial glanthood.
What sort or boy Iticks it out?
What. is expected of the lads yvho
give up the old swimming hole and
the baseball sand lots for this hectic
ant‘a life in the trade maria?
He Knows.
The “man-\vho-‘knowE' smiles- gt
the questions. lie has heard them
before in varied form and knows
well that. everything being equal. the
hordes of boys will find that they
have not escaped school. but have
just. begun it.
"The 'émull-town boys are. on the
whole. most successful." says Ed-
ward D. Cray. and he is the “man-
who-knows” because, as head of the
Wall stret Y. M. C. A.. he handles
the employment problems for scores
of great institutions. keeps his eye
on the newcomers and gets trembl-
ing lads and financial giants better
acquainted with each other. ,
"I say the small-town boys, be-
cause they seem better able to stand
the punishment that any youth must
expect it he is going to stick in Wal‘
street. During those years whu‘
they are finding what it's all about,
the boys must accept a wage that
necesuitates thrift. careful living and
restraint. There the small—town bay'a
training stands him in good stead. Of
course, a great {motion of the Wall
Street boys are recruited ‘in New
York and int- ttt home and thus
have a. handicap. "
"The first thing. and the hardest.
is the pounding home of the fact
that they must develop knowledge.
This is particularly true in the case
of older boys who achieve clerkships
and similar jobs.
Boy after boy comes to me, says
he is unsatisfied with his job and
wants to got. on Wall Streetwbe-
cause it's thrilling Most growmups

motionptcturn thrillers and the sen-
satlonui novels.
“.1 ask thrm what thoy know about
geography economics and trade ntttt~
tors. Invm'inbly they look at. me
dumbly and ask, ‘\Vhat has that to
do with it‘."
"And I want to tell boys who think
about coming to New York-«that
it has everything to do with it. At
this montcnt we have 3000 yOung
men attending the Columbia Univer-
sity night schools and thousands

more in the New York t.‘nivcrsity
and private courses who have come
to realize that something more than
more desire is required. If they are
going to meet the business kings on
any‘ sort of terms. they must know
what. money is. what markets are,
and what trade and bat-tor is all
about.
“Thero‘s plenty to try the mettle
of any lad. for the road from the
bottom to the top is a lone; one and
lined with many minor jobs from
which any numbt-r never move. l-lut
I believe the Wall Street boys are
the iteenest. livest, most alt-rt group
you will find anywhere. They have
to be. '
"Another thing: the great. finan-
ciers have learned that it pays to get
acquainted with the boys around
them. Men whose time is vnltwd at
thouaands per minute find timo‘ to
get the boys together and talk with
them for an hour or more, They are
ready to give them the benefit at“

gle. ‘

Scotchman Gives His
View of Prohibition
"l visited seventy different towns in
the Middle West. in fave States and.
over large areas. found that the law
was being kept and enforcement was
easy." says William. Paxton. Scottish
author and Fellow of tho Royal Goo-
graphical Society. in his “The Truth
About Prohibition." recently publish-
cd by Paul 8:. Matthews. Dundee.
Scotland. “1 was a guest of over
thirty Masonic lodges. and did not
find a drop of liquor in one of them.
and while many Masons were not
abstainers prior to the passing of the
prohibition l' w they are loyalty up-
holding the Constitution. . . .
“At a. time when Europe is suf-
fering from commercial paralysis,
and Britain has over a million unem-
ploycd people, there is a period of
phenomenal prOSperity in the Uni-
ted States. . . .
“In North Carolina furniture lac.
torles have increased by 50 per cent.
in the last two years. and the cap-
ital invested has been quadrupled.
tut-cs in'1924 was over $42,000,000.
and 11.151 persons were employed.
“Thousands of working people are

“Life insurance companies have
