Our‘'Mr. Bobbe is a native {of Holland and now lives at 741 N. {Chester St. with his wife and young son, who knows all about the witch, and likes her, too. “The most important thing about Hille Bobbe was not that she was an outspoken woman for her time,” said Mr. Bobbe, “but that she had a book.” “It is also interesting to note that the Bobbes are still working around books. We are proud of our ancestor. It is nice to think that Franz Hals picked her out to paint.”

offices of. the National Defense Comraission, in 22 cities throughout the country, will be announced within 10 days. The first move, it was learned today, will be setting up of three-man offices of Sidney Hillman’s Labor Division to handle the “training-within-industry” program. Ay inspection force, backed by the full powers given to the new office of production management by President Roosevelt, is under consideration. Such a policing force would be in position to “wield a big stick,” it was said, in expediting defense orders. The 22 cities have "been chosen and district representatives for 14 of them named. . The Defense Commission is expected to announce the new set-up when the others are selected.

. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 (U. P.) — Throughout the country 77,144 per-
sons were ill with influenza on
Jan. 4. But the Public Health Service describes the outbreak as ‘‘comparatively mild” and says the situation is mot comparable to that Which existed during the World ar. But if you've been exposed ‘ to the germ, just follow these instructions of the Public Health Service to prevent the possibility of pneumonia—an offshoot of influenza: . 1. At the first sign of a gold, especially if you have a fever, go to bed and follow the doctor’s orders. 2. Cover all coughs and sneezes with a handkerchief or paper tissue. 3. Do not encourage visitors. Cures?—The service says to “consult your doctor and do not indulge in self-diagnosis or self-treatment.” These instructions were issued as the best steps to take in avoiding the germ:
others, especially persons who are coughing, sneezing cr sniveling. 2. Avoid exposure to inclement weather but take advantage of as much air and sunshine as you can. 3. Be sure that your home is well ventilated at all times but avoid drafts. 4. Eat a well balanced diet; drink plenty of water. 5. Guard against fatigue; plenty of rest and sleep. 6. Wear clothing suitable to the weather. The 77,144 cases, the latest cumulative total compiled Jan. 4, the

been ‘substantiated as closely as possible by various members of the family, was a familiar one around the old home in Holland. “We talked about it a great deal, "| said Mr. Bobbe, “and naturally, we youngsters took kindly to the idea. Many times we would go to the museum at Amsterdam to see a copy of the picture.” As painted by Hals, the “Witch” is not nearly as terrifying after a time as she is at first. She’s a robust woman and ong commentator said she had evidently just finished telling the painter an ale-house story when he painted her. Evidently impressed by her twofold powers of wisdom and tippling, Hals put an owl, symbol of wisdom on her left shoulder, and a
reach of her right hand. In Business 25 Years She is described as a ‘roaring old Minerva” and “priestess of wisdom and folly.” Whatever she was, Mr. Bobbe likes her. He also likes to speculate on whether his mother’s and father's ancestors ever met during that time. A student of genealogy, he has traced his mother’s family to a Spanish officer, who during the middle 17th ‘Century were death on women who owned, books and could read, like Hille. Now Mr. Bobbe, who has been in
and served overseas during the wer, is vice president of the National Library Bindery Co. of Indiana. His firm does everything from special white leather jobs to rebinding old newspapers. “We don’t think about the witch muth anymore, until people like you come around,” he says.
Claims Christ 50 When Crucified
CHICAGO, Jan. 16.—Announceing that Jesus was nearly 50 years old at the time of crucifixion, not 33 as the world has generally supposed, Dr. Albert T. Olmstead of the Oriental Institute of the Uni« versity of Chicago has found evi dence in the Babylonian calendar which, if accepted, may drastically revise old traditions concerning the age of Christ. Study of the Babylonian calen« dar also substantiates the exact date of the crucifixion as April 7, 30 A. D., Dr. Olmstead declares, reporting his chronological re« searches in the current issue of Current Religious Thought, published at Oberlin College. For many years, 33 A. D. was generally accepted as the time of Christ's death. In recent years, Christ’s birth has been moved back to at least 4 B. C. in our calendar and the crucifixion to 30 A. D. by many Biblical authorities. “The beginning of Jesus’ minis - try was in.the second half of 28 A. D,, not 26 A. D., as has been generally held,” Dr, Olmstead said., “The’ birth of Jesus wis much: earlier, - than = generally thought, probably. between 20 B. C. and 15 B. C,, thus making - Him nearly 50 years old: at the ‘time of the crucifixion.”
