SCIENTIST SAYS JOSHUA DIDN’T LIE ABOUT SUN Chicago Man Says Biblical Character Was Only Disillusioned. St/ Tima Svecial CHICAGO, Jan. 29.—Robert Ingersoll, •whose eloquent scoffing at God once shocked a Christian world, has reason to turn over in his grave. One of the main spokes in his wheel of mockery has been yanked out and splintered. It concerns Joshua, the battle leader whom Biblical history credits with commanding the sun to stand still. To the great atheist, Joshua was an eligible candidate for the Ananias Club and his “miracle” was used as the main theme in Ingersoll’s argument that the words of the Bible were frilled with much nonsense. All Right After All But Joshua was all right after all. Science comes to his defense and stamps him as honest, but perhaps disillusioned. “Joshua was an ancient example of strictly modern psychologic forces,” declares Dr. Robert Eisler in a critical examination of the Greek texts of the book of Joshua published by the University of Chicago. "In sharp struggles,” he writes, “minutes stretch out into hours and vice versa (we all think with hor--j-or of fearful quarter hours in nightmares which seem to stretch according to well-known psychological laws into eternities). Joshua could easily have believed, especially If unusually strong light refraction o*. the horizon prolonged the wonder of the phenomena, that through his impulsive prayer he had* brought the sun and moon to halt in their course and thereby had forced the stars into cooperative battling against Israel's foes.” His texts reveal that Joshua had marched his troops the whole l.ight, Dj*. Eisler explains. Upon the rising of the sun he hurled unexpectedly on the enemy and saw at that time two great lights standing together in the heavens and announcing good fortune. Natural Belief “What could be more natural,” asks Dr. Eisler, “than that he, in expectation of a quick, destructive victory in connection with the impending battle, should call out his prayer? “Just as the Syrians'and Arabs can believe that they have in the late evening occasioned the sun to go down more quickly through a prayer, jost so could the faith-fllled Hablru warriors think that the two lights of the heavens were actually remaining standing longer than usual.”

MORTALITY IS DECREASED DY CITY CHEMIST J. R. Dunwoody Labors Alone to Guarantee Pure Food. While the housewife dickers for the butter and eggs and other necessities for the table, the purity of the eatables is guaranteed to a great extent by the city of Indianapolis. J. R. Dunwoody, city chemist, is in charge of this activity. To Dunwoody are submitted the eggs, marked fresh but sometimes really of the storage Variety; the butter, ice cream, found in some instances to contain too much coloring matter; flour, vinegar and bottled drinks. 4 The latter includes beer and wine, found by prohibition sleuths, who desire them tested for alcoholic content. Often Dunwoody must separate a mass of broken glass and other debris from the things submitted, because wary bootleggers sometimes seek to destroy the evidence as the booze sniffers arrive. At homes where persons nave died from typhoid fever, the . ell water is examined. Dunwoody stud only a few wells remain in Indianapolis. Dunwoody toils unaided on the third floor of the city hall. Part of the results of his work are revealed In the lowered mortality rate Indianapolis enjoys.
