Codex Sinaiticus '
THE Codex Sinaiticus goes to the British Museum, great
est library in the world, to repose along with Codex Al
exandrinus and other invaluable manuscripts and codices
and books which make the collection at the British Museum
of such great importance. The British paid the soviet re
public 100,000 for the Codex Sinaiticus; and as Tsar Alex
ander II paid only $3500 to the monks of St Catherine for
-the codex nearly a century ago, the Soviets will have consid
erable "capital gain" to report on their income tax blank
for 1933.
vv rr in n rnnfli i l L is H
Early manuscripts were in two forms, the scroll, which
was a continuous roll of papyrus, and the codex, which con
sisted of vellum leaves bound together in book form. In the
scroll the writing was in columns crosswise of the sheet, and
the reader held it with the end-sticks it was rolled on, one
in each hand. As he read down a column he rolled it from
the right stick to the left Then when he was through the
scroll had to be rerolled back on the right-hand stick before
it could be read again. This was quite a trick because, like
rolling a curtain, it was easy to get the roll running off one
end of the stick. Lazy chaps neglected to rewind the rolL'The
careful man did it by making the revolutions with his two
hands while he held the revolving material under his chin to
Keep it straigirc.
' The codex was an improvement from the old wax tablets
which were made from wood like a child's ?late, with the
depression filled with wax upon which characters were im
pressed. These tablets formed the "leaves" of the book. The
codex substituted vellum for the papyrus of the scroll, and
the waxen tablet This improvement came along about the
time the Bible was being copied extensively, so the early
manuscripts 01 tne isiDie are in coaex iorm, wniie tne pagan
literature staid with the scroll papyrus.
The vellum of the codex was sheepskin. Sheepskin has
two sides, the hair-side and the flesh-side. The former was
yellowish in color, and the latter was whiter; so they tried
to make up the codices with hair-side leaves opening to
gether and flesh-side leaves opening together. The Greeks
started their .books with the flesh-side out, but the Codex Al
exandrinus followed the later Latin style, and had the hair
side out. It was not until the 15th century that paper was
substituted for parchment vellum.
Another thing, of interest about codices. They are di
vided into two general groups, the uncials and the cursives.
The uncials were written in Greek capital letters, when peo
ple were just learning the art of writing with pens and
made their characters large. The laier manuscripts, dating
from the tenth century, use small script in a sort of running
hand, so are called cursives.
This Codex Sinaiticus has
rivals in value and age the Codex Vaticanus in the Vatican
library at Rome. A German student of a century ago, Con-
stantin Teschendorf, thought
asteries and tombs in Egypt, Arabia and Syria he might find
some ancient manuscripts. Finally in 1844 he made his way
to the monastery of St Catherine in the desert country
around the reputed Mt Sinai. The convent was like a fort
and the only way a visitor could enter was by being pulled
op by rope for BO feet The first night Tischendorf was ad
mitted he began searching m the old horary. While examin
ing volumes on the shelves he noticed a fuel basket filled
with waste papers. Most of them were of no value, but finally
the searcher came upon a number of leaves written in Greek
uncials. It proved to be the Codex Sinaiticus. .
Tischendorf made a mistake in showing great delight,
and when he returned next morning to get the rest of the
manuscript it was gone and the monks would not admit they
had it They permitted him to take back td Germany the 43
leaves he had been studying however. In 1833 he visited
the monastery again, but his trip was fruitless. Then he de
cided to enlist the aid of the Tsar who was head of the
Russian Greek Catholic church and whose nresttee extended
to the little monastery in the Mt Sinai country. In 1859 Tis
. chendorf returned and this time the -monks yielded to the
requests' of the Tsar and threw the entire library open to
him. Rnt h VMiMnr. find , trm vf et fh vtrorinna fnAo-r-
though he searched every corner of the place. He was pre
paring to leave when the steward of the convent asked him
into his dingy room to see a Greek Bible he had.
- "Too Ignorant to realize what be had in his possession the
old monk polled oat a hose piece of. red cloth ta which he had
, wrapped op the-loose and disjointed fragments of the manu
script. On its being unrolled be fare him, Tiachendorf, to his
t unspeakable surprise and delight, saw the very; document he
had riven ap all expectation of discovering. It proved to be the

-visit .,: - , . . . s
This time Tischendorf concealed his rapture; but it
took a great deal of maneuvering to get it transferred to
Cairo, where finally the head of the monastery permitted
him to present it to the Tsar under the form of a loan. The
Code remained in Russian hands until the atheist Soviets sold
it-down the river to the British. - 'S ' ' 'i
There are no originals of any of the books of the Bible.
All we have are copies, probably copies of copies, and no two
are exactly alike. The Codex Sinaiticus which is one of the
earliest dating from the fourth
complete, is precious lor its contents; and tne fascinating
story of its discovery adds to its value.
"Oh Say Can You See"
SPEAKING of old manuscripts, the original copy of "The
? Star Spangled BannerM was bought by Dr. Rosenbach
of Philadelphia for $24,000. He said, "It's priceless and cheap
at any nrice." If that
be lost, we would agree. As a

called, "Expert

This was an Im

paved tha way
for further investigations.
While stationed at Fort Mackinac
Mich, In 1820, his opportunity, tt
make this study was presented In
the person of a French-Canadian,
Alexis St Martin. This lad was
wounded In the abdomen by the acci
dental discharge of a shotgun. As a
result of the accident, St. Martin had
a permanent opening into his stom
ach. Through this window Beau
mont was able to study the action of
the digestive Juices. For several
years these experiments and observa
tion were continued.
Mechanism of Digestion
Prior to the printing of this valu
able book, little was known concern
ing digestion. Today, all physicians
are familiar with the Intricate mech
anism of digestion. It is a subject
taught to first year medical students
and this knowledge ta regarded as
essential tooths proper understand
ing of many aliments.
X fear that most lay persons are
more or less unaware of how tha hu
man stomach acts and how food Is
digested. In fact, there may be some
doubt aa to the exact location of this
vital organ. When abdominal pain
Is present the sufferer often refers
to the pain aa "stomachache.'' when.
In reality. It may come from the ap
pendix. Intestines or bladder.
Such common complaints aa heart
burn, dyspepsia, acid or sour stom

often attributed to stomach disorder.
In many instances tha disturbance
may be traced to gall bladder disease,
heart disease. Infected tonsils, dis
eased nasal sinuses, or soma other lo
calized Infection. This sort of trouble
may lead to Irritation of the stom

It Is disappointing to read that enrollment at the state univer
sity for the winter term is the lowest in ten years. Mich of tids
falling off is due to strife ta education circles. The state board should
move wth a firm hand to control the situation and convince the
state that it is boss of the works; then seek to promote education
by better advertising methods. It might well reduce some of the
barriers against students from outside the state, who formerly came
ltro numbers to oar institutions, spending money here, and
helping by tuition to carry the load of the ichools. -

(Continuing from yesterday:)
Another detachment of 150 men
from the southern batalllon took
a position on the elevated prairie
before mentioned, In order to be
in the way of a retreat should the
Indians attempt it This, also, was
before daylight.
With the coming ot day a heavy
fog arose which concealed either
of these forces from the enemies'
view, but which cleared away,
leaving the river in .plain sight.
Contrary to expectations no In
dians were found in the canyon.
But the volunteers, anxious to get
at the enemy they had pursued so
toilsomely for months, made bat a
short pause,; they proceeded an
other mile and h half, under cover
of fir and oak timber, to a ridge
running down to the river, and
sparsely-covered with trees, imme
diately opposite the bar on which
the Indians were encamped.
- a
When the savages discovered
the troops they were within 300
yards of their camp, with the
river between them. Instead of
showing a disposition to tight, the
Indiana were thrown into confu
sion. Many had. not yet come out
of their wickiups. . The women
were running hither and thither,
In alarm. To escape the heavy fire
of the volunteers, these hid them
selves In the timber In the rear of
their camp, while part et their
fighting force stationed them
selves behind rocks and trees and
fought in defense ot their camp
and another portion took to the
cover ot the trees lining the river
oat of range of the volunteers'
guns, to watch the movements ot
the attacking party.
So Interested were they In these
that they failed to discover a de
tachment which had hastened to
support the parties In advance,
and tiring was kept np all day by
the whites, with very considerable
loss to the Indians and nothing
saved the savages from a total
rout but the river; and on the
other hand the river cat off their
retreat. The lost of the whites
was one man wounded, Ellas D.
Mercer. That night the regiment
encamped at the Big Meadows.
The following morning Col.
Kelsey and Major Wm. H. Lat
shaw ot tha northern battalion
took 160 men. and two canvas
boats two miles below the battle
ground to look tor a crossing ot
the river, with the design ot
scouring the mountains In the vi
cinity of the enemy'i camp; while
Lieut. Col. Chapman with an
equal force took np the position
occupied the previous day to pre
vent the escape of the Indians, as
well as to divert their attention
from the movement below.
When the colonel's command
reached the river, however, he
found that his purpose had been
divined, and Indians were la the
thick timber ready to receive him.
He could only- fire on them across
the river, which he did for three
hours, then withdrew, on account
ot the wastage of ammunition. In
this engagement, one volunteer,
John Henry Clifton, was wound
ed, and as far as known, two In
dians klUed.
On April 29, the wounded hav
ing been sent to Camas vaUey and
the Indians having abandoned
their position on the opposite side
of the river, the white regiment
crossed over and occupied it, find
ing 75 deserted camp fires, Indi
cating a large number . of occu
pants. This had been Indeed, the
refuge of predatory bands during
the winter. Here were found the
bones of numerous oxen slain, and
the remains of hundreds of brok
en packages ot provisions, and
ammunition. The Indians had
fared better than the volunteers,
many of whom were at that mo
ment nearly barefooted, with only
a blanket between them and the
weather, which still continued
stormy and cold.
a S S
The spies reported the Indians
gone down the river. It was decid
ed to erect a fort at Meadows,
called Fort Lamerick. During
April the volunteers had received
no aid from the regular army.
Capt Smith of Fort Lane had
been directed to make a Junction
with Col. Buchanan's .force at
Fort Orford, whence the united
forces were to repair to the mouth
of the Illinois river to meet Gen.
Joel Palmer, superintendent of In
dian affairs, and the Indians of
Rogue river valley, with whom a
council would be held. Having all
the Indians ot Oregon on his
hands, and some ot those ot Wash
ington, ad most of them in a state
of insurrection, the superinten
dent was axious to forward and
hurry peace negotiations.
The volunteers, however, fought
on, and believed there would be
no peace parley unless the In
dians were forced into it. Many
times the volunteers had called
out to the Indians to come and
have a peace talk and such ad
vances were invariably met with
contemptuous taunts and scoffing
words.
a "a
But now the United States au
thorities were to try the effect of
their policies in bringing about
a settlement ot Indian Questions
in Oregon!
Capt. Smith moved with his SO
troopers from Fort Lane about
the 13th of April a few days
before the volunteers began to
march to the Meadows. At the
crossing of Rogue river, effected
on a raft, he found a camp ot In
dians which he attacked and des
troyed. Traveling through the moun
tains in rain and snow, climbing
often on foot and leading their
horses, the dragoons suffered
much. They lost the trail in the
tog and strayed about In the
storm seven days. Their provisions
ran out before the weather clear
ed, enabling; them to find It and
reach Fort Orford. The erperi
ence was useful as showing what
the volunteers had been enduring.
"
When CoL Buchanan first ar
rived at the mouth ot the Rogue,
some ot his younger officers and
soldiers plunged into- the forest
in, pursuit ot vanishing savages,
and soon they were glad to be
back In camp from their tiresome
and fruitless quest and their
colonel spent about month la
trying peaceful entreaties to in
duce the savages to go onto their
reservations.
After assuming a defensive at
titude tor this period of time,
Buchanan, oa April 28. sent
Lieut, -E. a a Ord, with 112
men, to destroy a village of the
Mackanotins, 11 mUes above
Whaleshead, and to force them
upon the reservation, which was
accomplished with some fighting
and the lose ef ene soldier.

There was that to set her pulses

ins bis fine brown fingers and look
ing at her straightforwardly across
the table. "I want to talk to you."
Patricia felt little chill fail
upon her heart. She knew what he
was going to say; she had a for
lorn desire to! tell him so. Instead
aha oresented a crave, attentive
face while Clark simply and unaf
fectedly told her of the broken
engagement, fie did not blame
Marthe; he did not blame himself.
He gave the bare, unvarnished
facts without a hint of explanation.
But, Patricia knew the explanation,
knew the part he failed to mention,
the part that she herself had
played. He had broken with Marthe
defending her. He had stood up for
her and be had been wrong. Every
word he spoke, Patricia thought,
made her self-appointed plan seem
less desirable, made the path of
. truth more thorny.
"Well," said Clark In a low, un
emotional voice. "I guess that's alL
Marthe and I won't be married in
November."
I " faltered Patricia, Tm

self slowly, painfully, "l shouldn't
say that I'm not sorry, not really.'
"You're a darling," he said fer
vently, laying his hand on her hand
and regarding her steadily. "It's
sweet of you to be so honest."
"I'm not honest," she protested
with a drowning impulse toward at
least a part of the truth. "YouH
see I'm not. I was pretending just
a moment ago. I heard this morn
ing that your engagement was
broken last night"
"You did!" he exclaimed, aston
ished. A puzzled line etched itself
between bis dark, straight brows,
"But, how could you possibly have

"Julian told me," she confessed
In strangled tones.
"Julian! Oh, I see," said Clark
briefly with a short, mirthless
laugh. 1 see," he said a second
time. He did not ask how Julian
knew.
Patricia sat silent, hating her
self. What had possessed her to be
so cheap? Her own words burned
on her brain, those words that were
worthy of Julian or of Marthe at
her best She, who had held herself
so high, had stooped to betray an

'Cavalcade9 and 'Little Women9
Listed as Year's Best Pictures
By D, H. Talmadge, Sage of Salem
Individual opinion as to the 10
best motion plays ot 19 3 S is only
individual opinion. My "best" may
not be your "best." Several 1033
motion plays which have been ac
corded a high ', rating elsewhere
have not as yet been show in Sa
lem. But of the pictures we have
seen here I venture to say that in
depth of human interest, skill of
direction and excellence of por
trayal, first place is to be accord
ed In equal measure to "Caval
cade" and "Little Women". Fol
lowing these I would meekly sug
gest "Berkeley Square", "Lady
For a Day", "State Fair", "Ras
putin and the Empress", "Se
crets", "Sign of the Cross", "Vol
taire" and "Reunion in Vienna".
Tastes differ in motion plays
as in other things. I presume that
local fandom as a whole will not
coincide with, my view as to which
are the 10 best films ot 11 S3. A
number of really excellent pic
tures not included in this list
have been shown here during the
year. Also hare been shown here
a greater number ot pictures, pro
claimed as excellent, which are no
more than mediocre. And there
have been those not even entitled
to that rating.
To sum up the matter briefly,
if you would have, a satisfactory
list of the It best -films of the
year, make it yourself.

"Little Women" would have been

"It's Julian who makes every

Irrelrvently, fiercely. Tm sick of

ed, appalled. His look was stricken.
"I'm sorry, Patricia." Still he add
ed, scowling, I wish you didn't
have to live with him.
Here was her chance. She could
tell him now. What would he do?
What would he say? She was not
to know. Her footsteps faltered on
the brink. The confession would not
eome; her rareful phrases vanished
one by one. She looked at him and
knew that she would not, could not
speak.. Not tonight Tonight she
lacked the courage. The squab ar
rived. Patricia blessed the inter
ruption. The strange, disturbing tension
lessened. With food the two grew
almost, merry. Clark a voice was
light when he asked her to explain
the little mystery of the night be
fore, the meaning of the flight
from the Sky High Club. Instantly
her face was somber.
"I can't tejl you, Clark."
"Of course you can. Ill under

"There's really nothing to under
stand. The man at the Sky High
was a man I used to know and -and
didnt like. I dont want to see
him again ever. Now " she said
pleadingly, childishly, "isn't that
enough?"
"Yes," he replied and hid his
gnawing discontent, hid it even
from himself.
Patricia smiled. Clark looked at
her. He looked at her and trusted
her. Marthe 'i suspicions, hints and
broad suggestions were nothing

nothing settled.
Days came and went strange
and thrilling days, but days with
nothing settled. Patricia grew used
to the ring of the telephone, grew
used to dressing for Clark, grew
used to his special habits. She
learned the cigarette he smoked,
the restaurant that was his favor
ite; she learned that he liked one

outrageous for liking three.

"I think it's very nice."

They would laugh. They laughed
often that breathless June. Some
times, Patricia felt that she laugh
ed so that she would not cry. Her
opportunity had never come. The
time to tell Clark the truth about
herself, the whole truth, did not
arrive. In more honest moments,
in those moments when the lights
were out when she was lying in
her bed, she knew that it never
would. She tried a thousand times
to tell. Always then she would face
a future with no Clark beside her,
with no Clark to buy gardenias be
cause "they match your skin", with
no Clark to suggest a trip to Coney
Island because it might be fun,
with no Clark to rebuke her on the

He said with sudden savagery,;

again, "only because I thought that

The onslaught was so sudden and
so unexpected that for a moment
Patricia felt weak and bewildered.
She merely looked at Julian. He
sat in a red leather chair at the
familiar table where cards and
crumpled score sheets were still
scattered. His hands were tight
gripped before him. His knuckles
showed white. A sardonyx on his
little finger glowed in the light
Julian spoke again fiercely.
T forbid you to see Clark again."
That lit the torch of her anger.
She began to tremble.
"Ton cant forbid me anything,
Julian."
"Indeed I can." His voice was
sharp and breathless. "I've had
enough of this nonsense. Tve had

replied with a wry, little twisted
grin. "If you persist in this mad
